Reneehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853562659634550544.post-5671342938032797642015-04-17T19:55:00.000-07:002015-04-17T19:55:52.200-07:00Prom Day CrazyFor some reason, my school has prom on a Friday night...which makes prom day crazy. The students do not think they can do anything in class in the morning because "it's prom". If it were allowed, then they would just not come to school at all.
Early release on prom day is a reward for selling a certain number of items in the class fundraiser--sell and earn an 11 a.m. early dismissal. Others can check out at 2 p.m.if they met the specified criteria and a parent comes to check them out in person. They can't get their tickets until their designated dismissal time.
My phrase for today was "it is prom--not a coronation; you will not be asked to rule a small nation."
For the most part, my students did their work because they know they must do their work in my class. They know better than to expect free days.
In the hallway, however, they were insane.
I wish we held prom on a Saturday.

In my very first education class, Dr. Chapman told us that if we were in education long enough, we would see all the old trends become new again.

I am officially there...and I'm only fifteen years in. I am not sure I completely believed him on that day but as my academic career continued, I began to suspect that he was correct and the longer I taught, the more I began to recognize the approaching signs.

The déjà vu started with the introduction of common assessments a few years ago.

During my first year at my current school, I was introduced to something called QBA or quarterly based assessment. The department developed a bank of multiple choice questions that assessed the curriculum outlined in the district approved skills continuum. An administrator (I think) created a test using this bank--four times per year--and the students were assessed.

A new trend appeared and our test bank was thrown away.

When my young department head, who was still in high school when we were administering quarterly based assessments, extolled the brilliance of these new assessments, I turned to my senior colleague--one of the women who explained it all to me when I was a rookie---and remarked, "QBA?" She nodded and mourned the loss of our old test bank.

Today cemented Dr. Chapman's claim. I spent the day in meetings. First was an all day departmental "retreat" in which we completely re-designed the English I curriculum map...again. The exciting new innovation was the exact same unit design that I used at the beginning of my career---the one that I used until very recently, the one that I surrendered reluctantly. My notes from this meeting are...."go back to what you used to do; go back to what worked."

I believe that's going to be my takeaway.

Reneehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853562659634550544.post-65530504964285598962014-11-24T18:41:00.000-08:002014-11-24T18:41:16.125-08:00I miss my planning period. When I first started teaching fifteen years ago, teachers used their planning periods to actually plan for classes and grade papers. But now....my planning periods are consumed with meetings.

Last year, our school decided that core content departments (which are assessed as part of the state-mandated assessment) needed common planning periods. When the idea was first introduced, we were going to meet for at least half of our plan once or twice a month and then we'd be able to informally collaborate with our peers the rest of the time.

It quickly became a meeting for our entire planning period every few weeks. Now we've been told that we need to make sure we leave our common planning periods "free" for any departmental meetings--for additional full department meetings as well as grade level meetings.

That in and of itself is not too bad. Frustrating but not without value.

Adding in the other meetings and encroachment on our planning periods...that's where I'm starting to have major problems--even though some of those meetings are important.

We've started having what we call "vertical team" meetings. We meet with the middle school teachers to work on smoothing out the rough transition to high school. We're also attempting to align our curriculum 6-12--a tall order. We only have these four times per year but the problem comes from the fact that someone has to monitor our classes during this time. Instead of paying for subs (because there's a lack of funds for those), teachers who have planning periods during that time are required to cover the classes of the teachers who are in meetings. With four departments having these meetings, it adds up...and it seems like the same teachers are always tasked with covering classes.

Then factor in our new "effectiveness" system which requires peer evaluations. (And can we just call it what it is? An evaluation system but that's an topic for another day.) We will give up a portion of our planning period to observe our colleagues in action; we also need to complete a pre & post observation conference with them.

And we cannot forget the IEP meetings--I actually feel bad for the secretary who has to schedule those. With all the other meetings, she sometimes struggles to staff the IEP conferences.

This week, I will have my full planning period once and that's with midterm grades due on Friday.

I've had a grade level department meeting today. Tomorrow, I will have meeting with middle school teachers, which will be followed by a full faculty meeting after school (Yea). On Thursday, I'm scheduled to cover a math class (poor children--I am of no use to them in there.) while the math department enjoys their vertical team meeting. Then to wrap up the week, I will evaluate a colleague in another department. Fortunately, she's also a friend because between my meetings and hers, we've had to get creative for our pre-observation conference; I may end up at her house for the post-observation.

At some point, I have to verify that all of my grades are up to date and contact the parents of struggling students. I have at least two scholarship essays that students need me to proofread and letters of recommendation to compose. Plus I have students serving in-school suspension who need work and need a visit from me--so I can explain that work.

It is infinitely frustrating.

After fifteen years, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on my content and on sharing it with my students but I still need time to plan. I also need time to grade the assignments of approximately 190 students. I stay after school for at least an hour each day but at some point, I have to do laundry, wash dishes and tackle the chores of every day life.

I cannot imagine how rookie teachers handle it. I have fifteen years worth of resources and experience to draw from. If needs be, I can come up with something worthwhile for my students do on the fly. A 1st year teacher does not have that yet.

I don't know how my colleagues with children manage it. If I spend hours in the evening grading, only the dogs are annoyed and a scruff behind the ear will make up for it--they cannot do that with small children.

This just feels like one more element of disrespect for this profession.

Our time is not valued.

I don't blame by our administration. They are just as overwhelmed and just as frustrated as their time is devoured as well.

No wonder so many teachers leave the profession early.

However, it is really just a test prep class.

The freshmen work on improving their reading skills for the PLAN test that they will take in the fall of their sophomore year. The sophomores prepare for the PLAN until the actual test in September and then they shift over to ACT prep. The juniors prep for the ACT until the test date in March and they shift to EOC (End of Course) exam preparation because all juniors are required to take the U.S. History EOC.

The seniors...well, my poor seniors are a whole other thing. The seniors must be "college &/or career ready". Meaning they must have met arbitrary benchmarks on either the ACT, the COMPASS or Work Keys. (Incidentally, all of these tests are ACT products.) In recent weeks, even more testing acronyms have flooded my email inbox.
 If the kiddos meet the ACT benchmark during their junior year, then they are placed in a study hall for their senior year. If they do not meet the state established benchmarks for ACT reading, English and math, then they are placed--by score--in groups to prepare them for the COMPASS or the Work Keys.

It's stressful and frustrating for students and teachers alike...but we're in a box. A not so lovely accountability and assessment box thrust upon us by so-called education reformers.

If only I could make these politicians and their ilk take all the tests that they thrust upon my students...

I hate you.
I hate your issues with Java, which often result in a failure to load.
I hate when you log me out for "being inactive" while I'm entering grades. (That's clearly being active, IC; what is up with that?)
I hate when you time out while posting attendance, which results in a phone call from the attendance secretary.
I hate when opening my gradebook inexplicably causes Firefox to crash.
I hate when entire columns of grades simply vanish into cyberspace.
I hate that an entity that should simplify at least one aspect of my job frequently complicates my life instead.
I beg of you, IC, get your act together!
Sincerely,
A frustrated teacher who has been trying to update grades for four hours.

Last Sunday brought sleet, snow & ice to the Commonwealth and successfully canceled school all across Kentucky.

Not one but two more snow days.

Don't get me wrong. I love snow days. I giggle when I see snowflakes fluttering outside my window. The school cancellation text message (which has replaced the radio and television alerts) prompts me to dance around my house before climbing back into bed. I hate going out in the cold and would much rather stay in my toasty warm house while it's cold. I don't mind making up the days when it is warm outside.

However, I had some mixed feelings about it this time.

I found the state & ACT's decision to schedule the test a week earlier than usual completely asinine. While we haven't had March snow in several years, Kentucky weather is mercurial at best and it was not a wise choice. The folks at ACT may not know that but the Kentucky Department of Ed certainly should. Part of me found it amusing that a higher power thwarted these best laid plans of bureaucrats.

On the other hand, my juniors have been so stressed about this assessment that I just hated for them to have wait. Ready or not, I just wanted it to be over for them.

Some of my colleagues were pleased to have more review time but I just feel that we are test prepping these kids to death. A feeling that became a certainty after I discussed the situation with my junior group.

The new date is March 18th and so they'll endure another week of ACT test prep. I wish I could tell them that it would be all over then. However, they will then shift to prepping for the U.S. History end of course exam.

I dread breaking that news to them.

School should be about learning--not testing. Reneehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853562659634550544.post-51997258708660059342014-02-26T23:08:00.000-08:002014-02-26T23:14:38.593-08:00Educate or TestI have been told at least a dozen times this semester alone--by administrators--that "The Test" should be the primary focus in my classroom. One went so far as to tell the junior English teachers that their entire course should be structured around the ACT because the juniors take the ACT in March. Surely this isn't what the Kentucky General Assembly had in mind when they decided to make this college entrance exam part of our assessment.

My freshmen are supposed to spend this year preparing for the PLAN test (which they will take in the fall of their sophomore year) and the English II EOC (End of Course) exam. If they are in Algebra II or Biology, they're also preparing for end of course exams in those classes as well. And we can't forget about the on-demand writing test taken by all sophomores and juniors.

Between these tests and practice tests, we lose at least 10 days of instruction--minimum; teachers who give more practice tests in class lose even more. All of this assessment doesn't include AP (Advanced Placement) testing.

Am I supposed to educate or test?

I recognize that we must have a means to evaluate student learning but these multiple choice tests do not prove understanding. They do not assess higher order thinking.

As one of my 9th graders pointed out today, she can do well on some of these tests just by guessing and applying test strategies. She told me that she doesn't like the written assessments that I make her do. She cannot fake her way through those.

We are turning out a society of test-takers--not problem solvers.

My students are more than their test scores and my job is to teach them...to think, to create, to analysis, to evaluate and to problem-solve. My job is to provide knowledge and teach skill, so that my students can be come productive members of society.

The test is not the most important thing in my classroom; my students are.

It will be a short week and I know what my students will be doing but I'm still re-evaluating my teaching from last semester to tweak this term's instruction. However, I keep running into the same ol' problems.
I'm already plotting out lessons and finding not enough instructional hours for the material that I need to cover.
On the flip side, we've pared down the curriculum to the bare bones...and in my opinion, we've oversimplified everything.
We're told to have a more rigorous curriculum and then in the next breath, we have to defend ourselves if students fail--even if the student in question has not upheld his/her end of the academic bargain because it reflects poorly on the school in terms of accountability.
We're in this "accountability" box that has zero to do with student learning and preparing them for the world outside of high school.
No wonder I can't sleep.

I am finding myself increasing frustrated with the state of education today and while I may not be able to change things worldwide, I will continue to fight to control the quality of instruction in my classroom.
Therefore, I'm attempting to begin again as a blogger because I need an outlet. I am forever telling my students that it is cathartic to write; it is time to get back to practicing what I preach. Reneehttp://email@example.com

I had a wonderful experience at the Worldwide photo walk last Saturday.
Santa Cruz, CA was the venue.
I've uploaded my pictures to FLICKR.
Please click here to see my pictures
All the pictures were shot with my Nikon D50 and a Nikon 18-200 VR lens.

Nice pics ! What time of the day was it?
Nice pictures. Try using www.eyefetch.com also if you are interested in photography.
Hi Cogito - Thank you. We started at 10.00 am and finished at 12 noon.
Kishan - I'll check eyefetch. Thank you.
Great pics. I could see a tremendous improvement in your camera eye. You got it now! It is all the way you see it. Excellent pics. I tried my best to do that but due to certain other engagements I could not do it. Keep it up!

text: I've gone from a styrofoam bator to a cooler with a fan and a modified hot water heater thermostat. I have put two water bottles on the bottom of the cooler to use as a heat sync. The fan is blowing across the light bulb to the thermostat, and keeping temps steady at 100 degrees on a bulb thermometer on the bottom. near the top of the cooler where I plan to put the eggs I have a digital thermometer/hygrometer which is steady at 97.8 and 20% humidity, from what I've read these numbers aren't what they are supposed to be. What do I need to do to get the 100 degree temps up to the top? I did put a small open top jar of water on the bottom to see if the humidity would raise, and won't look at it until tomorrow. I will also post pics tomorrow.

This dissertation consists of assessed thermodynamic properties for phases in the geologically and industrially important system Fe-Mg-Al-Si-O and calculated phase diagrams. Mathematical processing of different kinds of experimental data (phase equilibrium data, calorimetric, volumetric, thermophysical,electrochemical, activity data) is used to derive internally consistent thermodynamic database. The Murnaghan equation of state is used to describe the pressure-volume-temperature (P-V-T) relations in the end members and stoichiometric phases. Thermal expansion, compressibility and pressure derivative of bulk modulus are considered as temperature dependent. Sublattice model is applied to describe solid and liquid solutions and Redlich-Kister model is used for interaction between species on a sublattice.
Thermodynamic data for solid phases in the Fe-Si-O system are optimized to reproduce phase relations at temperatures up to 2000 K and pressures between 1 bar and 20 GPa. Parameters for liquid phases in the Fe-Si-O system are assessed from solid-liquid equilibria at 1 bar. Because of lack of high pressure experimental data for liquid, melting relations at high pressures are calculated only in thesubsystems Fe-FeO, SiO2 and Fe2SiO4.
Thermodynamic parameters for solid phases in the system FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 are assessed and subsolidus phase relations are calculated at pressures up to 30 GPa. The calculated phase diagram for pyrolite composition are used to explain seismic discontinuities in the Earth's mantle. The 400 km discontinuity could be attributed to garnet+olivine+β-spinel+hp-clinopyroxene divariant zone. The seismic boundary at 650-680 km could be related to two very narrow fields of ilmenite=perovskite and γ-spinel=perovskite+magnesiowustite transitions. Other seismic discontinuities could be assigned to phase transformations occurring at 450 km (complete dissolution of pyroxene in garnet), at 500-520 km (β-spinel+γ-spinel zone), and at 600 km (γ-spinel+stishovite+ilmenite or garnet+ilmenite zones). Garnet disappears at 730-750 km and the assemblage perovskite+magnesiowustite is stable below.

I am very excited to announce that my cute baby niece arrived Tuesday evening!
Haley stayed at 2cm dilated for two week prior so her doctor decided to bring her in this past Monday at 5:30pm to start the process of inducing her, during the night they gave her medicine 3 different times to soften her cervix and then they were gonna give her pitocin Tuesday morning. My plan was to leave Tuesday morning and stay 2 nights, WELL i was not thinking. Tevis cant take care of Storm during the night, he cant keep his prosthetic leg on for 48 hours. So i was not at the hospital when she was born, I waited and left early wed. morning and came home sorta late wed. night. WE plan on going to visit soon so i am ok, plus i can facetime my mom and see her pretty little face!
Haley started pushing around 2-230ish tuesday afternoon and FINALLY at 5:14pm i had a niece!
Taylin Nicole Snyder
8lbs 11oz 21in. (no wonder it took her 3 hours to push, big healthy baby)
Haley had a pretty rough labor, taylin wasn't positioned just right and they tried every position possible for her, i felt so bad for her. My mom got to be in the room with her, I was so happy my mom got to experience seeing her first grand baby born! I may never get to give my mom that gift so I am thankful she got to do this with Haley and tj. Now i will share some pictures who everyone can see how happy this girl has made us already!
shortly after she was born
first family photo
my momma, proud grandma!
he hates pictures! but he is loving his daughter
daddy, granny and baby tay tay
This is grandpa, aka UNCLE TONY. lol
look how long she is!
first few seconds of seeing her
oh i just love her, proud auntie
Proud and very happy grandparents!

The Plays of William ShakspeareIt is a long list. People have a lot of problems. Some of the items sound picky or trivial, even to me. Yet bad grammar, bad style, and poor organization will make it very difficult for you to convey your ideas clearly and st crispin's professionally, and Problem Essay will limit your academic and professional success. I strongly recommend that you work to eliminate any of day speech these problems that may apply to your own writing. -- Dr. In Latin To European? James A. Bednar. Rules for formal writing are quite strict, though often unstated. Formal writing is day speech, used in academic and scientific settings whenever you want to convey your ideas to Homelessness: Problem, a wide audience, with many possible backgrounds and assumptions. Unlike casual conversation or emails to friends, formal writing needs to be clear, unambiguous, literal, and well structured. Formal writing is not just dictated conversation In general, it is inappropriate simply to write as you would speak. In conversation, the st crispin's, listener can ask for clarification or elaboration easily, and thus the speaker can use imprecise language, ramble from topic to topic freely, and so on. Formal writing must instead stand on its own, conveying the Generations Essay, author's thesis clearly through words alone. As a result, formal writing requires substantial effort to construct meaningful sentences, paragraphs, and st crispin's day speech arguments relevant to a well-defined thesis. The best formal writing will be difficult to write but very easy to read. Homelessness: A Community Problem? The author's time and effort spent on writing will be repaid with the time and effort saved by st crispin's, the (many) readers. Make your thesis obvious throughout An essay, article, or report should have one main topic (the "thesis") that is clearly evident in the introduction and conclusion. 23 March Speech? Of course, the thesis may itself be a conjunction or a contrast between two items, but it must still be expressible as a single, coherent point. In a short essay, the main point should usually conclude the introductory paragraph. In a longer essay, the main point generally concludes the introductory section. The reader should never be in any doubt about what your thesis is; whenever you think it might not be absolutely obvious, remind the st crispin's, reader again. When in doubt, use the Unreported Concussions Sustained Essay, recipe: introduce, expand/justify, conclude Paragraphs, subsections, sections, chapters, and books all use the same structure: first make the st crispin's, topic clear, then expand upon it, and finally sum up, tying everything back to the topic. At each level, you need to tell the reader what you will be trying to say (in this paragraph, section, etc.), then you need to cover all the relevant material, clearly relating it to your stated point, and in Latin America Contact finally you need to tie the st crispin's day speech, subtopics together so that they do indeed add up to establish the point that you promised. Stay on topic Everything in your document should be related clearly to your main thesis. Essay? You can write other papers later for anything else you might want to say. The reason your reader is reading this particular paper of yours is that he or she wants to know about your main topic, not simply about st crispin's day speech everything you might want to Generations Essay, say (unless for some narcissistic reason "everything you might want to say" is your clearly stated main topic). Conversely, there is no need to day speech, bring up items simply because they relate to your main topic, if you do not have anything to say about them. If you do bring something up, say something important about it! Staying on Homelessness: A Community Essay topic does not mean being one sided To avoid being misleading, you will often need to acknowledge some weaknesses in your argument or discuss some merits of an opposing argument. Day Speech? It is quite appropriate to Generations, discuss such opposing views when they are relevant, i.e., when they relate directly to the main topic of your paper. For instance, if you are reviewing a paper and arguing that it was not written well overall, it is usually a good idea to point out the st crispin's, few things that were done well, e.g. so that the reader does not get the impression that you just like to complain :-) . Often such opposing observations fit well just after the introduction, providing a background for the rest of your arguments that follow. Whenever you do include such material, i.e. things that go in the direction opposite to a mother's son poem, your main thesis, be careful to put it into only a few well-defined places, reorganizing your argument to st crispin's day speech, achieve that when necessary. Jumping back and forth will confuse the reader unnecessarily. In every case, try to a mother's love son poem, make your point as clearly as possible, while at st crispin's the same time not overstating it and not pretending that no other valid viewpoints exist. Transitions are difficult but very important Each sentence in your document should follow smoothly from the preceding sentence, and each paragraph should follow smoothly from the preceding paragraph. The world is 23 march in english, arguably an unstructured jumble of ideas, but anything that you expect the reader to read from start to finish needs to be a linear progression along one single path. Transition words and st crispin's phrases are what make it possible for a reader to Generations, follow you easily as you explore the various ideas in day speech, your paper. Without good transitions, the reader will end up backtracking repeatedly, which will often cause your point to Sustained by Athletes, be lost or your paper to be tossed aside altogether. One clue that your writing needs better transitions is if you find that you can cut and day speech paste paragraphs from one section to another without doing substantial rewriting of how the paragraph begins and ends. If making such rearrangements is Sustained by Athletes, easy, then you have not been linking your paragraphs into a coherent narrative that reads well from start to finish. In practice, making smooth transitions is very difficult. Learning to do it takes a lot of practice at first, and actually making the st crispin's day speech, transitions smooth takes a lot of effort every time you write or revise something. One rule of thumb is that whenever you switch topics, you should try to provide a verbal clue that you are doing so, using transitions like "However, . ", "As a result, . Of The Introduction Of Stock Index Stock Markets? ", "For comparison, ", etc. If you notice that you have to st crispin's day speech, add these words between most of your sentences, not just the paragraphs, then you are bouncing around too much. In that case you need to reorganize your document to group related thoughts together, switching topics only when necessary. A Community Problem Essay? Once the organization is good, all you can do is st crispin's day speech, read and reread what you write, rewording it until each new item follows easily from those before it. Write what you mean, mean what you write Speakers use many informal, colloquial phrases in casual conversation, usually intending to of the of Stock Index Futures on the, convey meanings other than what the st crispin's, words literally indicate. A Community? For instance, we often speak informally of "going the extra mile", "at the end of the day", "hard facts", things being "crystal clear" or "pretty" convincing, someone "sticking to" a topic, readers being "turned off", something "really" being the case, etc. Avoid such imprecise writing in day speech, formal prose -- whenever possible, the Life America to European Essay, words you write should literally mean exactly what they say. If there were no miles involved, do not write of extra ones; if there was no crystal, do not write about its clarity. Among other benefits, avoiding such informal language will ensure that your meaning is obvious even to those who have not learned the currently popular idioms, such as those for whom English is st crispin's, a second language and those who might read your writing years from now or in another part of the world. Formal writing should be clear to as many people as possible, and its meaning should not depend on speech in english written the whims of your local dialect of English. St Crispin's? It is a permanent and public record of your ideas, and should mean precisely what you have written. Avoid redundancy Unfortunately, specifying minimum page requirements encourages redundancy, but please try to A Community Essay, avoid that temptation. When two words will do, there is no need to use twenty. Day Speech? Whenever you finish a sentence or paragraph, read over Life Prior to European Contact Essay it to see if any words or sentences can be eliminated -- often your point will get much stronger when you do so. In the academic community, your ability to write concisely is far more important than your ability to fill up a page with text. Academic courses specify page minimums to ensure that you write an essay of the appropriate depth, not to test whether you can say the day speech, same thing a dozen different ways just to fill up space. In the real world, you will see many more page maximum specifications than page minimums. Be professional and diplomatic When writing about another's work, always write as if your subject may read your document. Your essays for a course assignment will probably not be published, but genuine scientific writing will be, and Homelessness: A Community Problem Essay the subject of your paper may very well come across your work eventually. Thus it is crucial to avoid pejorative, insulting, and offensive terms like "attempt to", "a waste of st crispin's time", "pointless", etc. If some of the essays I have seen were read out Life America Essay loud to the author under discussion, a fistfight would probably result. At the very least, you would have made an enemy for life, which is rarely a good idea. In any case, your points will be much more convincing if you can disagree professionally and diplomatically, without attacking the author or implying that he or she is an st crispin's day speech imbecile. And, finally, no one will publish your work if it is just a diatribe and not a sober, reasoned argument. To avoid these sorts of in Latin America Prior Contact problems, it might be good to day speech, pretend that you are the Essay, author under discussion and re-read your essay through his or her eyes. St Crispin's? It should be straightforward to figure out The Effect of the Index Futures Chinese which parts would make you defensive or angry, and st crispin's you can then reword those. Avoid imperative voice Use imperative voice sparingly in a scientific paper, because it comes across as rude (as do many of the sentences in what you are reading right now!). E.g. do not say "Recall that . Homelessness: A Community Problem? ". Of course, an occasional imperative in parentheses is not objectionable (e.g. "(see Walker 1996 for more details)."). A formal document needs to be structured at all levels, whether or not the structure is made explicit using section labels or other visible clues. Overall structure The standard format for an effective essay or article is to: (1) present a coherent thesis in the introduction, (2) try your hardest to convince the reader of your thesis in the body of the paper, and (3) restate the thesis in the conclusion so that the reader remains quite sure what your thesis is, and so that the reader can decide whether he or she was convinced. Using any other format for a formal article is day speech, almost invariably a bad idea. The introduction and love for her conclusions do not always need to be labeled as such, but they need to st crispin's, be there. In English? Note that an st crispin's day speech abstract is Unreported Essay, no substitute for an introduction; abstracts act as an st crispin's independent miniature version of the Generations Essay, article, not part of the introduction. Each paragraph is one relevant sub-topic Each paragraph in a document should have one topic that is clearly evident early in the paragraph. St Crispin's Day Speech? Every paragraph should have a clear relationship to the main topic of your document; if not, either the Essay, paragraph should be eliminated, or the st crispin's, main topic should be revised. Use complete sentences Except in extraordinary circumstances, sentences in the main text must be complete, i.e., they must have a subject and in Latin America to European Essay a verb, so that they express an entire thought, not just a fragment or the st crispin's day speech, beginning of Generations Essay a thought. Note that most "-ing" words are not verbs. "The light turning green" is day speech, just a fragment, i.e., a start to a sentence or a part of one. To be a sentence that you could use on its own followed by a period, it would have to be "The light turned green", which has both a subject and a verb. Put appropriate punctuation between sentences. Two complete sentences can be divided with a period, question mark, or exclamation point, or they can be weakly connected as clauses with a semicolon. However, they can never be connected with a comma in formal writing! To see if your writing has this problem, consider each of your commas in turn. Life In Latin America To European Essay? If you could replace the comma with a period, leaving two complete, meaningful sentences, then that comma is an error -- a comma can never be used like that! Instead, replace the comma with a semicolon, in case you have two sentences that need to be linked in some generic way, or make the linkage explicit with a conjunction, or simply use a period, to leave two complete and day speech independent sentences. Section titles Section titles for an article should say exactly and succinctly what the reader will get out of that section. Life In Latin America Prior Contact Essay? In most relatively short documents, using a standard set of section titles is best so that people can scan through your document quickly. Section standards vary in different fields, but a common set is: Introduction, Background, Methods (for an day speech experimental paper) or Architecture (for a modeling paper), Discussion, Future Work (often merged with Discussion), and Conclusion. If you do not use the standard titles, e.g. if you have labeled lower-level subsections, you should be quite explicit about what is in Homelessness: Essay, that section. Such labels should make sense to someone who has not yet read that section, and make it clear why they should read it. For instance, a section about adding a second eye to a simulation of single-eye vision could truthfully be called "Multiple eyes", but that title is day speech, meaningless to Index Futures on the Chinese Stock, someone scanning the document. St Crispin's Day Speech? Instead, it should be something like "Extending the model to explain stereo vision" whose meaning will be clear to the type of person likely to be reading the paper. Everything important goes in Essay, your introduction and conclusion Everyone who looks at your paper will at st crispin's least skim the introduction and Generations Essay conclusion, and st crispin's those who read it in depth will remember those two sections the best. Unreported Sustained By Athletes Essay? So make sure that your most important points are quite prominent and day speech unmissable in those sections. Say it, never just say that you will say it In the introduction, conclusion, and abstract (if any), do not merely describe what you are going to say or have said; actually say it! For instance, do not just state that "I will discuss and evaluate this paper" if you will later argue that (for example) it is not convincing. Life In Latin America To European? Instead state that the paper is unconvincing, and (in brief) why you believe that to be the case. Then you can elaborate on st crispin's day speech that point in subsequent paragraphs. Subsections If you have sections 1, 1.1, and 1.2, there must be introductory material between 1 and 1.1 that explains briefly what is in the subsections, mentioned in the order of the Generations Essay, subsections. St Crispin's Day Speech? That is, 1.1 should never follow just after 1 without some intervening text. If you have 1.1, there must always be a 1.2; otherwise 1 and 1.1 should be merged. Each 1.x subsection should end with a concluding statement of what has been established in that subsection, wrapping things up before moving on a mother's love to the st crispin's, next subsection. Figure captions Different communities have different expectations on what to put into Generations Essay figure captions. Some journals, like Science , have very long captions, which are meant to be readable independently of the day speech, main article. That way, readers can skim articles and only look at interesting figures, before deciding whether to Prior to European Contact Essay, read the whole article. In such cases, you must ensure that all of the main points of the day speech, figure are also mentioned in the text of the article, so that someone reading the article straight through will not miss them. Other journals and other publications like books, theses, and proposals tend to have very little in the caption, with the figures being understandable only when reading the main text. A Community? Even in such cases, I myself prefer to st crispin's day speech, put all the graphical details like "the dotted line represents" in the caption, plus enough context so that the import of the figure is clear. You are welcome to have your own preferences, but you should be aware of what you are trying to achieve, i.e. whether you want the America Prior Contact Essay, caption to be readable on day speech its own. Try hard to avoid ambiguous references Conversation is replete with ambiguous words like "this", "these", "his", "it", "they", etc. These words have no meaning in themselves, but in conversation the meaning is usually clear from the 23 march speech in english, context. In written text, however, the intended meaning is st crispin's, quite often not evident to the reader, because there are e.g. many possible interpretations of "it" and "this". It is a good idea to read over anything you write, searching for this sort of A Community Problem word. For each instance, first ask yourself "To what specific item does this term refer?". For such a reference to st crispin's day speech, make sense, the object, person, or concept must have been explicitly mentioned just prior to your reference. Son Poem? Often you will find that "it" or "they" refers to something vague that was not even discussed explicitly in st crispin's, your paper, in which case you should reword your text entirely. Even if the A Community, item to st crispin's, which you refer is of the Index Trading on the Stock, explicitly mentioned in your paper, ask yourself whether there is any chance that the reader might not know to which of day speech several items you might be referring. E.g. for the word "he", were there two or three people being discussed? If so then state the actual name of Essay each; "he" would be ambiguous. Often an ambiguous "this" or "these" can be disambiguated by adding a noun that specifies precisely the type of object or concept to day speech, which you are referring. For instance, "this argument" or "this paper" is less confusing than simply "this". That is, do not use "this" followed directly by Homelessness: A Community Problem, a verb phrase, but you can use "this" before a noun phrase, as in "this sentence is a good example of the st crispin's day speech, use of the word 'this'". Watch out for homonyms Spell checkers are wonderful, but they are absolutely useless for detecting misused homonyms or near-homonyms, i.e., actual words whose meaning is confused with other actual words. As a result, homonyms are probably the Concussions by Athletes, most common spelling errors in word-processed text. Even if you are lazy and let the day speech, spell checker fix all of your other words, make certain that you know the differences between words like: If you do not know the difference, you must simply avoid using any of these words. Yet because the for her, spell checker takes care of st crispin's day speech all the other words you may misspell, learning to use these few words correctly is surely not much of a burden, and is crucial for convincing your readers that you are competent and trustworthy. Avoid "comprise" Apparently the word "comprise" has now been used incorrectly so many times to mean "compose" that this usage is now becoming acceptable. But it is Life America Prior Contact, much safer simply to avoid "comprise" altogether, as anyone who does know what it started out st crispin's meaning will be annoyed when you use it to mean "compose". "But" and Life America Prior Contact "however" are not interchangeable The words "but" and "however" have similar meanings, but they are not interchangeable. If you take a grammatically correct sentence containing "but" and st crispin's day speech replace it with "however", or vice versa, the result will almost always be incorrect, mainly because of Essay comma punctuation. "I like oranges, but I do not like tangerines." "I like oranges. However, I do not like tangerines." "I like oranges; however, I do not like tangerines." "I, however, do not like grapefruits." "I like oranges however they have been prepared." If you exchange any of these "but"s and "however"s, then the sentences would become incorrect, and in some cases meaningless. A "point" is a single item The word "point" can only be used for a single, atomic item. St Crispin's Day Speech? Thus it is not appropriate to discuss a "sub-point", "part of A Community a point", the st crispin's day speech, "first half" of a point, etc. Instead use "topic" or "section", etc. "A research" There is no noun phrase "a research" in English. Use "a study" or just "research", never "a research". Similarly, there is A Community Problem, no separate plural form of research; "researches" is an English verb, not a noun. Avoid capitalization When in doubt, use lower case. Capitalization is appropriate only for specific, named, individual items or people. For example, capitalize school subjects only when you are referring to a specific course at a specific school: math is a general subject, but Math 301 is a particular course. Similarly: Department of Computer Sciences vs. a computer science department, the president vs. President Bush. When in doubt, use lower case. Avoid contractions Contractions are appropriate only for conversational use and for informal writing, never for technical or formal writing. Hyphenate phrases only day speech when otherwise ambiguous In English phrases (groups of love son poem several words forming a unit), hyphens are used to group pairs of words when the meaning might otherwise be ambiguous. That is, they act like the parentheses in st crispin's, a mathematical expression. They should normally otherwise be avoided unless they are part of a single word (or the dictionary explicitly requires them), i.e., it is a mistake to use a hyphen where the Homelessness: Problem Essay, meaning was already clear and unambiguous. For instance, long adjective phrases preceding a noun sometimes include another noun temporarily being used as an adjective. Such phrases can often be parsed several different ways with different meanings. For example, the day speech, phrase "English language learners" as written means "language learners from A Community Problem England", because, by default, "language" modifies "learners", and "English" modifies "language learners". But the phrase that was intended was probably "English-language learners", i.e. "learners of the English language", and using the hyphen helps make that grouping clear. Note that there would never be a hyphen if the same phrase were used after the noun it modifies, because in that case there would be absolutely no chance of ambiguity: "a learner of the English language" ( NEVER "a learner of the English-language"; the hyphen effectively turns the noun phrase "English language" into an adjective, and a prepositional phrase starting with "of the" must be completed with a noun, not an adjective). Note that hyphens are used only in st crispin's, adjective phrases; they are not needed after an Life America Prior to European Contact Essay adverb (and are therefore incorrect). An adverb explicitly modifies the st crispin's, adjective immediately following it, never a noun. For instance, a "quickly dropping stock" cannot possibly be mistaken for a "quickly dropping-stock", because adverbs like "quickly" cannot modify a noun phrase like "dropping stock", and so "quickly" clearly must modify "dropping". In general, there should never be a hyphen after an of the Introduction of Stock Index Trading Markets adverb ending in "ly", though hyphens are sometimes necessary after some non-adverbial "ly" words like "early" (as in the correct examples "an early-rising rooster" or "an early-rising English-language learner"). You may want to search through your finished document for "ly-"; nearly all examples of those three characters in st crispin's, a row will be mistakes. In some very complicated phrases, two levels of grouping can be achieved using an "en" dash, i.e. a slightly longer dash than a hyphen. For instance, a "language-learning--associated problem" would be a problem associated with language learning; the hyphen groups "language" and "learning", while the en-dash "--" connects "language learning" with "associated". Without hyphens or without the en-dash, the phrase would be quite difficult to read. 23 March Speech Written? But in day speech, such cases it is 23 march in english, often clearer just to st crispin's day speech, reword the sentence to avoid the ambiguity, as in Sustained Essay, "a problem associated with language learning". In cases where the word grouping is quite obvious because the pair of words are so often used together, the day speech, hyphen can be omitted even when it would strictly be required to avoid ambiguity. For instance "chocolate chip cookies" is unlikely to be misread as "chocolate chip-cookies", despite that being the Generations, literal interpretation, and so the hyphen can usually be omitted from "chocolate-chip cookies". In general, you should hyphenate a phrase when that particular sentence would otherwise be ambiguous. St Crispin's Day Speech? In any other case, even a nearby sentence containing the in Latin America Prior to European Essay, same phrase but e.g. after the noun it modifies, you should leave out the hyphen. I.e., the hyphen is day speech, not a property of the phrase, but of how you are using the phrase in the sentence. American vs. British English I myself am American by birth, despite lecturing in a British university, and I use American spellings by default (e.g. "organization", not "organisation"). Authors are generally free to use whichever spelling they prefer, although publishers will often change the spellings to make e.g. all the papers in love son poem, a certain edited volume use the same conventions. Thus please do not hesitate to use whichever one of the st crispin's day speech, (correct) spellings you are more comfortable with, as long as you keep it consistent throughout the document. Formatting and by Athletes grammar rules When in st crispin's, doubt about grammar or page format, researchers in psychology and A Community Essay computer science generally follow the APA style guide; biological fields use similar standards. Unfortunately, you do have to pay for st crispin's day speech, the APA guide, though it is now available in a less-expensive electronic edition. Pay attention to how your document looks Use readable, clear fonts and reasonable margins, following the typical format used for Generations, similar documents. If your word processor cannot make the st crispin's day speech, spacing regular between words (e.g. most versions of Microsoft Word), turn off right justification. Poor spacing makes the a mother's for her son poem, page look jumbled and seem incoherent, even if the writing is not. Nearly all formal writing should simply be stapled --- anything else looks unprofessional. For instance, using a fancy cover and st crispin's day speech binding for a short paper or report is distracting and makes it difficult to The Effect of the Index Trading Markets, photocopy the paper; such binding is necessary only for st crispin's day speech, long papers that a staple would have trouble keeping together. At the opposite extreme, it should be obvious that folding one corner is not an Essay acceptable substitute for day speech, a staple. Authors are authors, not writers The people who perform a scientific study are called "authors", never writers, even though the results are presented in a written paper. Scientific authorship includes much more than the actual writing, and some authors may well not have written any word in in Latin Prior to European, the paper. Use last names Never refer to the authors by their first names, as if they were your friends. They are not, and even if they were, it would be inappropriate to draw attention to that circumstance. Except in st crispin's, unusual cases to avoid ambiguity or to discuss specific people (e.g. the Homelessness: A Community, original founders of st crispin's day speech a field of research), first names are not even mentioned in the body of a scientific text; the last names are sufficient. Author names are keys -- spell them properly In academic writing, an author's last name is like the key in Essay, a database lookup -- if the name is misspelled (e.g. "Davis" for "Davies"), your reader will not be able to locate works by day speech, that author in the library or online. Moreover, it is extraordinarily impolite to misspell someone's name when you are discussing them; doing so shows that you have not paid much attention to them or their work. So you should make a special effort to spell author names correctly, double and triple checking them against the original source, and ensuring that you spell them the same way each time. Use appropriate pronouns Use appropriate pronouns when referring to Concussions by Athletes Essay, the authors. Day Speech? If there are multiple authors, use "they" or "the authors" or the authors' last names, not "he" or "the author". If there is only one author and you can determine the gender with great confidence, you may use "he" or "she"; otherwise use "the author" or the author's last name. Referring to Homelessness: A Community, other texts Use double quotes around the title of an day speech article when you refer to Unreported, it in the text. Italics are reserved for books or other works of similar length. Avoid underlining altogether --- underlining is just a way of indicating that handwritten or typewritten text should be typeset in italics, and is thus inappropriate when italics are available (as they are on any modern word processor). Be very precise when discussing an author discussing another author For better or worse, academic writing often devolves into discussions of what one author said about another author. If commenting on such controversies, you should be extremely careful about using ambiguous terms like "his", "the author", etc. Very often your reader will have no idea which of the various authors you are referring to, even though it may be clear to you. When in doubt, use the actual last names instead, even if they might sound repetitive. Avoid footnotes Footnotes should be used quite sparingly, and should never be used as a way to avoid the hard work of making your text flow into a coherent narrative. Only when something genuinely cannot be made to fit into the main flow of the st crispin's day speech, text, yet is a mother's love, somehow still so important that it must be mentioned, does it go into a footnote. Avoid direct quotes In scientific (as opposed to literary or historical) writing, direct quotes should be used only when the precise wording of the original sentences is important, e.g. if the work is so groundbreaking that the words themselves have driven research in st crispin's day speech, this field. In nearly every other case, paraphrasing is more appropriate, because it lets you formulate the idea in the terms suitable for your particular paper, focusing on the underlying issue rather than the way one author expressed it. Be careful with arguments about grammar If you are going to Essay, criticize the st crispin's day speech, grammar or spelling of an author in writing, you should be extraordinarily careful to verify that you are correct. Reading a long rant from an American about how a person of British upbringing has supposedly misspelled words like "utilisation", or vice versa, can be quite painful. There is no need to mention explicitly reading the paper A lot of students use phrases like "while reading this paper, I . " and "In this paper the Introduction Futures Trading Chinese Stock Markets, authors . ". Try to avoid this redundancy. If you use the st crispin's day speech, word "author" you need not also use "paper", and Generations Essay vice versa. Similarly, it is clear that whatever you discovered about the paper, you discovered while reading the paper; we do not need to st crispin's day speech, be reminded of this. Academic writing is always about papers and a mother's son poem authors, and thus those topics should only be discussed when they are relevant. Discussing existing work Whenever you bring up an st crispin's existing piece of research, whether it is your own or someone else's, there is a standard way of doing it properly. First you say what the research showed, then you say what its limitations are, and then you say how your own work is going to overcome those limitations. I.e., say what has been done, what has not been done, and how you are going to do some of what has not been done. If you are doing a literature review rather than an original research paper, you just describe what you think should be done, rather than what you plan to do. Unless you want to make an enemy, you should always mention something positive about The Effect of the of Stock Index Trading Chinese Markets existing work before exploring the limitations, and you should always assume that the st crispin's, person you are discussing will read what you wrote. Of course, sometimes there is a good reason to make an Essay enemy, e.g. to st crispin's, draw attention to yourself by attacking someone famous, but you should be sure to choose your enemies wisely. Discussing proposed work In a research proposal, it is never acceptable to announce only that you are planning to "study topic X". Generations Essay? In the day speech, context of research, studying is a vague and in Latin America Contact Essay unbounded task, with no criterion for success and no way to day speech, tell if you are getting anywhere. Studying is something you do in a course, where someone can tell you what to Life in Latin America Prior Contact, focus on and can test you to day speech, see if you got the right answer; research is not like that. In research, you need to spell out the specific questions you are going to try to answer, the specific phenomena that need explanations, and so on -- it's up to you to define the Unreported Concussions Sustained by Athletes, question and the methods, and until you've done so, it's not research, just idle speculation. Discussion/future work In the st crispin's day speech, discussion sections of a research paper, be sure to discuss all topics that the audience expected to Life in Latin America Prior to European, see in the paper, even if you yourself do not believe them to be relevant. St Crispin's? The reader is more likely to assume that you have been sloppy about Generations your literature review than to assume you knew about the day speech, work but believed it not to be relevant. Page restrictions can help here --- they provide a good excuse for omitting topics that you do not believe to be relevant. In a longer article or thesis without page limits you have no choice but to Homelessness: Problem Essay, address the issue and explicitly state why the topic is not relevant despite the common belief that it is. Bibliographies Students often seem to think that bibliographies are mysterious, tricky things with rules far too complex to understand or remember. St Crispin's? Although there is a vast array of different bibliographic formats, the The Effect of the of Stock Index Futures on the, underlying principles are actually not complicated at all. St Crispin's? Simply put, all bibliographies must have a certain basic minimum standard of information in order to fulfill their function of a mother's love son poem allowing people to locate the st crispin's, specific item of Life in Latin Prior Contact reference material you cite. In particular, every bibliography entry needs an author, date, and title, every journal article absolutely must have a volume and page numbers, and every conference paper must have the title of the conference proceedings, the page numbers, and some indication of who published it. Without having every bit of this basic information, there is st crispin's, no way to be sure that readers can find the one specific article that you are discussing. Conversely, you should not include anything not necessary or useful for locating the Generations Essay, article, such as the cost of reprints. Day Speech? As long as the correct information is included, there are many acceptable bibliography formats, though note that in all cases each entry ends in a period. Citations The bibliography or reference list in in Latin Essay, an academic paper must consist of st crispin's precisely those sources that you cite in the text, without any extra sources and without omitting any. Each citation must provide enough information for the reader to find the correct source in a mother's love for her son poem, the bibliography; beyond that, any number of citation formats will do unless there is some specific standard you are told to follow. One common approach is to use author-date citations like "(Smith, Wu, and st crispin's day speech Tong 2008)", but other approaches such as numbering the a mother's for her son poem, bibliography entries and then using bracketed or superscript numbers are also fine. If using numeric citations with brackets, note that there must always be a space before the first bracket, as in st crispin's day speech, ". known [1]", ( not ". known[1]"). If using author-date citations, you must remember that any item in Unreported Sustained Essay, parentheses does not exist , as far as the grammar of the sentence is concerned, and thus it cannot be used as part of the sentence. Thus the st crispin's, rule is simply to 23 march written, put the parentheses around the part that would be acceptable to omit when reading aloud, as in "Carlin (1972) showed that. " or ". as seen in st crispin's, rats (Carlin 1972)." ( not "(Carlin 1972) showed that. " and 23 march not ". as seen in rats Carlin (1972)."). It is usually best to have only a single level of parentheses, because multiple parentheses start to distract from the st crispin's day speech, main text. Thus I would prefer "has been established (but for a counterexample see Johnson, 1905)" to The Effect Introduction Index Trading on the Stock Markets, "has been established (but for a counterexample see Johnson (1905))". "I" and "we" Writing standards disagree about whether to use "I" and "we" (and their various forms) in academic work. Some argue that those personal pronouns distract from what should be objective and st crispin's day speech scientifically valid without recourse to Prior to European Contact Essay, any particular speaker, or even that they just do not sound "scientific". Others argue that omitting "I" and "we" results in day speech, awkward, passive sentences rather than direct "We did X" sentences. Personally, I believe that academic writing should use personal pronouns whenever what is being reported was an arbitrary and specific choice made by a human being, or for opinions or personal judgment, precisely because these pronouns emphasize that a human was involved in the work. When reporting universal scientific facts or observations, I would not use personal pronouns, because any reasonable observer would have reported similar results and thus there is no need to emphasize the role of the authors. The Effect Of The Introduction Of Stock On The Chinese Stock Markets? Thus, personally, I believe that "I" and "we" have their place in academic writing, i.e., to emphasize the human element where appropriate; in other circumstances I would discourage their use. Please note that I happen to disagree with a few of the rules commonly accepted for English text, and in st crispin's, the text on Homelessness: Problem this page I happily use my own rules instead. You might wish to follow the accepted usage in such cases, though I would much rather everyone used my own much better rules as listed below. St Crispin's Day Speech? If you do agree to join my one-man campaign to Unreported Sustained by Athletes, fix the English language, I cannot accept any responsibility for points deducted by less enlightened folks. :-) Punctuation after quotations In American English (and in some cases for st crispin's day speech, British English), punctuation following a bit of quoted text is traditionally placed inside the quotation. However, I consider that rule an egregious violation of the whole notion of quotation, i.e. an obvious bug in the English language. 23 March Speech Written? For example, if I am quoting someone who said that "life is hard", I always put the comma outside the quotation mark because they themselves did not necessarily have a pause when they said it; in fact, they probably had a full stop (which would be written as a period). Day Speech? Accepted American usage is to write "life is hard," but the computer programmer in me just cannot be convinced to make such an obvious semantic error. Spaces around dashes An em-dash is a long dash, longer than an en-dash and a hyphen. The traditional formatting for an em-dash does not use any spaces, as in "life is hard---then you die". However, I myself much prefer to put a space before and after the dash. Without the spaces the a mother's love son poem, dash appears to be connecting two words like "hard---then", which makes no grammatical sense. Grammatically, the function of the dash is to st crispin's, separate and Life Prior to European connect phrases or clauses, not words, and I prefer to make that visually clear by putting spaces around the dash. Again, in my opinion the accepted usage is a bug in st crispin's day speech, the language. Dangling prepositions Officially, it is an A Community Essay error to end a sentence with a preposition, as in "they arrived at st crispin's day speech the place they were heading to". However, in practice it is often very difficult and awkward to reword sentences to Essay, avoid dangling prepositions. Thus I consider this rule to be optional at best. Serial commas In Britain and some other less-enlightened countries, the comma is often omitted before an st crispin's day speech 'and' in Life in Latin to European Contact Essay, a list. Day Speech? For instance, they will write of "ham, chips and eggs", rather than "ham, chips, and eggs". Essay? I consider this an appalling, confusing construction, because it meaninglessly groups the last two items in the list together. St Crispin's? Lists are generally meant to be collections of equals, so there should be just as many separators between "chips" and "eggs" as between "ham" and "chips". In many cases, omitting the 23 march speech, serial comma is st crispin's, ambiguous. Moreover, in the very rare case where adding the comma is A Community Problem Essay, ambiguous, the sentence should be rewritten anyway. Oxford University Press, at least, agrees with me; see the Wikipedia serial comma entry. St Crispin's? Again, this insistence on using appropriate syntax is probably driven by the computer programmer in me, but I think all right-thinking people should be offended whenever a serial comma is for her, omitted. Commas after "i.e." and day speech "e.g." Many grammar books state that a comma is always required after "i.e." and "e.g." used in a sentence, as in "sentences often contain spelling errors, i.e., words spelled incorrectly". The inspiration for this rule is that such abbreviations should be mentally expanded to Essay, the English translation of the Latin phrase for which they stand ("i.e." translating to "that is", and "e.g." translating to "for example", which in itself is an important distinction to know). However, these terms come up very often in formal writing, and in st crispin's, many cases I consider it inappropriate to add symbolic pauses (i.e. commas) around them. Such pauses break up the flow of the for her, sentence, and modern readers treat the abbreviations just as they would any other word, without internally translating them to st crispin's day speech, Latin phrases and then English phrases. Thus in many cases I prefer to omit the comma after the Problem, abbreviation, and sometimes also the one before it. Some people, even more pedantic than I, disagree.

Home at last, with so much I want to paint. But I'll start by updating this blog, one city a day.
Ten random things I like about Venice
1. Hearing church bells strike the hours.
2. Getting very very very lost, but always able to find my way at last. Getting lost meaning finding things you otherwise would miss. I got lost, ended up near a church, turned left, and walked into a gallery filled with original Tiepolo drawings.
3. Drawing lions, because stone lions, especially winged ones, are everywhere.
4. Having an espresso in the campo San Barnabos, then riding the vaporetto down the Grand Canal to the Rialto, where a fish market has been in continuous business for 1000 years.
5. Eating luscious figs and jam croissant for breakfast.
6. Sitting on a bench in San Polo, and drawing the church façade (badly) for three happy hours.
7. Watching the crowds of tourists come through, wave after wave, like fish in shoals.
8. Having risi & bisi for lunch and then taking a three hour nap.
9. The city smells like an aquarium - not bad exactly, but pungent. The tourists smell worse - lots of hot people sweating perfume.
10. The masks Venice is famous for comes from a day when the city spent six months of the year in revelry under the cover of masks, doing things that they otherwise might not. I thought how the internet offers a similar veil of anonymity today.
Two stories
Nephew William took me for a boat ride. The boat he uses is a loaner and an old wallowing clunker, kind of like rowing our old black Volvo station wagon, if you can imagine. The oar looks like a Yule log. Gondolas are like Ferraris. If you collide or scrape one, the fine is 60,000 euros, so the objective is to never never touch a gondola. Drowning is preferable. William manned the oar, and his fiancée Elsa and I sat perched on the boat's right side so it would go straight. William assures me it's all physics. He moves the oar with a motion like stirring turtle soup, or folding in egg whites. We went down canals so narrow we could touch both sides. We pulled over when any other sort of boat came by. We yelled 'oy' at all the canal intersections, kind of like golfers yell 'fore'. Gondoliers had no problem maneuvering past us without touching, their dexterity is amazing.. We even went down a stretch of the Grand Canal which seems as big as the Mississippi when you see it from the vantage point of a small boat.
Walked into the famous San Giovanni & Paulo church. Noticed about halfway down the aisle that organ music was playing – ah, I thought, a concert, how lucky. A little farther on I saw a seated group in the pews, and a priest wiping the rim of a chalice. Oh, I thought, a mass. I slipped into a side chapel out of respect. More music, lots of incense and a violin solo of Ave Maria later and the congregation stood. That's when they rolled the carnation-covered coffin down the aisle and I realized I had crashed a funeral. All the time other tourists in cargo shorts and backpacks and maps had wandered around. It must have been someone important to rate a funeral in the second grandest church in the city, but not powerful enough to stem the tide of tourism.

|Sunday night
Day 7
Monday morning I woke up around 530 with a sharp pain in my stomach. I just laid there for a bit waiting for it to go away but it just kept getting worse! I got up to go get a drink of water or something and that's when it hit me, I was about to throw up. After all that it was time for me to start getting ready for school, I really didn't feel up to going. I hopped in the shower and when I got out it hit me again! So I decided I was not going to school and I went right back to bed. When I woke up I was feeling a little bit better but not great, so I went to my teachers later class and just sat in to see what i missed. After school I decided to try and eat to see if i could hold it down and I could! I think it must have been something I ate the night before!
|Our cookies
After we got back Ashlee and I decided that we needed to finally start our workout, so we went to the gym. It felt so good to finally work out again, I haven't worked out in so long. I didn't do much, but at least i did something! We are going to try to work out more often, hopefully we really do because I have put on quite a bit of weight!
It's starting to feel a little more like home here, not just like I'm having a sleepover with a bunch of friends. So that is nice that I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable, well besides my bed of course, that still sucks to sleep on!

The campaign – which aims to ensure pharmacy teams are equipped to advise customers on this topic – will focus on pharmacy education and will include a full pharmacy support pack, manufacturer RB said.
"A tear film on the eye's surface is essential for keeping the eyes moist and lubricated," RB said. "Using screens can reduce the blink rate by up to 60%, which can lead to disruption in the outer lipid layer of the tear film."
The support pack will include a training guide and window posters, and will be distributed to all community pharmacies in early September.
The campaign will also include a partnership with National Eye Health Week (from September 18). Eye Health UK chair David Cartwright said pharmacy has "a key role to play in helping to reduce avoidable sight loss".
Pharmacies can also register for free webinar training – being offered on September 5 and 7 – while consumers will also be engaged via a national TV 'screen eyes' campaign, RB added.
Optrex ActiMist eye spray is available as a 10ml size – equivalent to approximately 100 doses – from all major wholesalers.
