For more than 40 years, Clinton's educational philosophy of building flexible thinkers through inquiry-based learning has enriched the lives of NYC adolescents.
In December 2016, we were authorized as an IB World School, offering the International Baccalaureate (IB)* Diploma Programme (DP), a curriculum for the 11th and 12th grades. IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering high-quality programs of international education. The IB is a natural fit for Clinton, and it infuses the teaching philosophy and practice in all grades.
Clinton's middle grades academic program, regarded for its rigor, has two distinguishing features. One, we offer more arts than is typically found in a school, with students moving between visual arts and music. Two, we use a programming mechanism called Triple E, which stands for Enrichment, Extended Learning Time, and Electives. We continue the successful Triple E in high school classes.
Our middle grades use an original curriculum and focus on building literacy across content areas, developing critical thinking, and learning how to learn together. Because we focus on building students' abilities to think and communicate logically and analytically, our students excel in reading, writing, and math.
Click here for a video created by a sixth grade Advisory Group.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a globally recognized honors program, provides challenging academics paired with a social and emotional framework for developing balanced, well-rounded students. Our upper grades program is built as an "International Baccalaureate for ALL" model, with students completing NYS Regents requirements by the end of 10th grade in order to participate in all IB courses in 11th and 12th grades.
For more information, click on middle and upper grades.
Clinton is known for its friendly environment and welcoming culture. Students, staff, and families have a passion for our school and love cheering on our sports teams, attending our performances and events, and taking advantage of our partnerships with the Whitney Museum, Dancing Classrooms, and Theater for a New Audience.
Staying close-knit and collaborative as we continue the expansion that started in 2015, from a middle school to a 6–12 school, means that we will continue to focus on supporting students' social and emotional development. We want students to feel comfortable during their time at Clinton. We also want students to have strategies to deal with all that will challenge them as they continue their journey through adolescence.
As a product of NYC public schools and a Specialized High School, it has always been my hope to one day be principal of a strong, selective school that provides students with a free high-quality education that allows students to enjoy themselves while they're in it. I'm passionate about helping all students succeed, and I've worked with adolescents for more than 16 years in District 2. I'm particularly energized by the challenges of the next few years as we start our IB Diploma Programme in the 11th grade and work with students over the course of middle and high school to build true college readiness.
Please explore our website and feel free to ask any questions at an open house or tour.

Dell Mail-back Recycling Program
Dell Inc. or simply Dell is one of the most successful American computer tech companies. They are focused on developing, selling and repairing computers and provide support to computer owners and owners of related products. They exist for more than 30 years now and it is quite natural that over the years their offer was expanded. For instance, besides PCs, Dell also sells network switches, data storage, servers, HDTVs, computer peripherals, software, MP3 players, printers, scanners, cameras and other electronic devices and equipment. As we all know, it is quite difficult to remain on the top when you are working in an industry that is constantly growing and changing and computer technology is definitely one of them. One of the reasons why Dell is still among the top companies in this field is the fact that they are investing in innovations. They introduce dozens of new models of computers and similar devices and equipment every year. However, their innovations raise one issue – what happens to the old equipment? According to Dell and many experts, recycling is the only reasonable option for used electronics. That's why they have decided to start a special Dell mail-back recycling program.
As the name suggests, the main goal of the Dell Mail-back Recycling program is to encourage people to recycle their computers and computer equipment with the help of their simple mail-back program.
Dell has designed this program to make recycling easy and convenient for their users and for this reason they have become partners with FedEx which as we all know is the leading courier service in the world. The Dell mail-back recycling program allows people and organizations to recycle their obsolete equipment in a responsible way and prevent the typical cluttering found in modern garages, closets and attics. In addition, they also want to prevent the expansion of landfills which seems to be a huge problem these days. The best part of this program is that you can do all of this without leaving the comfort of your home.
Dell will pick up the Dell product you have for free regardless of your location with the help of FedEx Package Return program. If you want to recycle your unwanted equipment with their help you will have to make few steps. To start with, you'll have to delete the data and files from the hard drive. After that, you'll have to write down the identification number or service tag located on the outer part of the equipment. Next, you must fill the online waybill form and print the unique shipping label. The next step is to package the item and place the label on it. Finally, you will need to leave the package at your local FedEx facility or call FedEx and schedule a pickup from your home/office.
In case you have bought a brand new Dell product, Dell will pick up your old computer even if it isn't produced by Dell. In the end, Dell also provides free cartridge recycling.

Madonna Student Honored for Humanitarianism
December 09, 2015
LIVONIA, Mich. – Madonna University criminal justice student Blanca Lopez-Garcia was selected by the faculty and administration at Madonna University to receive the St. Catherine Undergraduate Achievement Award for the 2015-2016 academic year.
The Detroit chapter of Kappa Gamma Pi, the National Catholic College Graduate Honor Society, offers the St. Catherine Medal to honor a junior student who represents the high ideals of a Catholic college education and maintains a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.25. Lopez-Garcia with a 3.95 GPA, was selected based on her academic achievement, and leadership roles in church, campus and community. The medal is in honor of the third-century saint, Catherine of Alexandria, renowned for her love of learning and dedication to principles.
Connie Tingson-Gatuz, Madonna vice president for student affairs and mission integration, served on the award selection committee. She said that Lopez-Garcia's high level of dedication and service to others made her the obvious choice.
"Blanca has achieved academic excellence and demonstrates qualities of leadership for the general community," said Tingson-Gatuz.
A Southgate resident, Lopez-Garcia's campus involvement includes Campus Ministry, the Student Ambassador Program, Alternative Spring Break, Ford Community Corp, and Eucharistic Minister, to name a few.
She serves as co-president of Caritas Madonna, a group of Campus Ministry students who assist the less fortunate through community outreach. Under her leadership, the group completed several hours of volunteer work for Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan.
For Lopez-Garcia, giving back to the community extends beyond Madonna's campus. Working with others from St. Cyprian Church in Riverview, she assembles and delivers lunches to the homeless in Detroit. "It is a simple lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, water bottles, napkins, snacks and fruit, but these items are extremely helpful in providing nourishment to those who need it."
She owes her passion for community service to the support from her parents and devoted Madonna staff. "The Madonna University community has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you for making an impact on me."

Joined CLSA: 2015
Studied: Commerce at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Hometown: Sydney, Australia
I grew up in a small country town called Alstonville (in Northern NSW), an area famous for growing macadamia nuts, but I spent the majority of my working life in Sydney. I always wanted to be in banking or trading so I studied finance and accounting at university.
There is no typical day in corporate finance, which is one of the highlights of the role! I could be marketing to potential clients, working on upcoming pitches, executing live transactions, chasing down new leads or most likely doing a combination of all of them. Numbers are an integral part of my everyday life. Where my clients are based means I need to travel quite extensively, I spend at least one week a month in Hong Kong or China with an occasional trip to North America and Europe as well.
One of the best things about working at CLSA is being part of a growing organisation that seeks to become the "Champion of Asia" in global investment banking.
CLSA stands out from other places where I have worked because of its direct connectivity and access to China (across corporates, funds and State Owned Enterprises) and its ability to leverage off our parent company, CITIC Securities, which is China's leading investment bank.
My role at CLSA involves advising Australian and Chinese clients, helping them execute their strategic vision through a range of transactions that includes buying or selling businesses or raising capital (either by equity issuance and debt financing) or a combination of both.
Exploring strategies surrounding complex situations, problem solving and the constant variation in the type of work I do and the clients I interact with are the most rewarding aspects of my role.
I first heard about CLSA through a former colleague and it was CLSA's unrivalled access and connectivity to mainland China that was a deciding factor when I joined the organisation in February 2015. The culture here is entrepreneurial, innovative and dynamic.
My advice to graduates seeking a career in finance is simply to be curious, take the initiative, be smart around how you approach your work, ensure you manage your own career (remember it is up to you after all!) and you'll do fine. Make sure to take opportunities up as they arise and if you can, gaining experience working overseas is both invaluable and fun. Handling your work and life balance can depend on which firm you work for. Generally, it's a challenge to manage during the first five or so years of your career, but it does get a lot easier as time goes on.
Outside of work, the most challenging thing I face is surviving from day to day with a four-year-old and two-year-old twins, all boys!

WWF research in the areas worst hit by the flooding has shown that the Polish government has done little to modernize flood protection strategies since the last major floods in 1997. Houses have continued to be built in areas most in danger from floods even though local people have said that if they were given assistance from the authorities they would be happy to move. In addition, dykes that were viewed as being largely responsible for the 1997 floods are still being rebuilt in the same areas, rather than being removed to give more space for water.
"Following the flooding of the Oder river in 1997 and now the flooding of the Vistula, it is obvious that the Polish government needs to reassess how it manages its rivers," said Piotr Nieznanski of WWF Poland. "It is clear that the exclusively technical approach such as building dykes to protect people from flood waters can only lead to further catastrophe."
WWF is also concerned that despite the floods, the Polish government has recently signed an agreement with a consortium of companies to build a new dam, the Nieszawa dam. Building this dam could seriously increase the risk of floods in the future, according to a recent WWF study.
WWF is therefore calling on the Polish government to instead use its money to urgently put in place EU standards for management of rivers. The EU standards safeguard the natural functions of rivers and help to prevent the destructive effects of digging channels and building dykes and dams when more sustainable means for meeting needs for water and energy are readily available. In particular, WWF believes the Polish government must place emphasis on widening high-level water beds by moving embankments farther from the main river bed where possible. WWF has already provided the Polish government with a study 'The Atlas of the Oder Floodplains' which includes extensive recommendations for ecologically sound flood protection strategies.
"Experience from the Rhine, Danube and Oder shows that natural approaches to managing rivers and flood plains are often more efficient and less damaging to people, land and wildlife," Mr. Niezananski added.

As Pro I will refute Con's claims that if there was a worldwide currency:
1) Poor countries would not be able to afford anything.
2) Human rights will be violated.
As to the first claim, prices are set by the local merchants in that country. You can even see within America that the price of a cheeseburger can vary greatly from state to state, and differ greatly from rich communities to poorer communities, even though the same currency is used. This is done so that the local consumers can afford the goods, otherwise there would be no sales, and the merchants would be out of business.
Con may imply that a worldwide currency would be disastrous like the euro was with Greece. However, Greece would be far worse off if the richer and more responsible countries in the EU coalition did not absorb some of the devaluation of the EU. A devaluation of a worldwide currency affects all countries, not just the poor ones.
Human rights are historically often violated with totalitarian regimes. A worldwide currency does not seem to have any correlation at all with the type of government instituted. I look forward to con attempting to draw this correlation.
Currencies are mostly based of the flow of trade that that country has. If the India Rupee was weaker then it is easier for a British person to move to India to either to start a new life style or to move away for reasons concerning that individual. With a world wide currency everything in the world would be the same price, meaning that their is no escape. Now you will probably think, what if the Indian person wants to move to Britain. A world wide currency would not help that Indian ( or country with a weaker currency) move at all since there's is not stronger.
Countries that produce more products generally have a stronger currency, if their was a to be an inplied world wide currency then there would be no need or incentive to produce more, meaning that production on a world wide scale would decrease.
Look at the EURO, When it first started off everything went fine, but as we are now starting to learn the EURO is in big trouble. Europe is now predicted to go into a depression next year. Imagine what the implications would be if this was on a world wide scale?
And for my final argument the Euro also suffers from the fragmented political structure that governs the economy it represents. Since all the countries that are involved in the EURO can issue its own debt, the EURO itself is now used in 16 different bond markets. Each country then in tern has its own tax prices and how it decides to spend the money of that country. Some countries have larger debts than to others, simply a world wide currency would not work.
--- that a world currency only hurts poor countries and causes human rights violations.---
All my opponent has presented so far is to agree with me that devaluation of currency is bad...duh.
I will present the cheeseburger data in round three. What a dissapointing debate so far.
Bob_Pollard forfeited this round.
As an aside..I am strongly against a 'world' currency, but not for the reasons the resolution is stated.
Lack of accountability always breeds inefficiency, incompetence, and indecency in anything, not just a world currency.

Born and raised in Calgary, Mark Wilson grew up in a family-owned restaurant environment. With four decades in the Calgary hotel and restaurant scene, he is a rarity having achieved all his success in his home city.
His hospitality experience began at age 11 working as a bus boy. Whilst studying part time for a Hotel and Restaurant Administration diploma at SAIT he worked at the Westin where he rose from bartender to Maître d' by the time he was 24.
Building on these foundations, Mark honed his leadership skills at the Westin from 1985-2000 with roles leading to being Director of Catering and Convention Services. From 2000-2005 he performed a similar role at the Hyatt Regency.
Promotion to General Manager with Hyatt would have meant moving from Calgary, so, putting his family first, he decided he did not wish to relocate. For such an accomplished manager, positions in Calgary were readily found. Currently he is a Partner and Vice-President with the Hotel Arts Group.
This dynamic hospitality group has in its portfolio: the upscale Hotel Arts in downtown Calgary and the boutique Kensington Riverside Inn. Mark is General Manager of both properties.
Giving back to the profession and the community are key for Mark. For example, he is on the Board of Directors of Tourism Calgary, and an Advisory Board member for Hospitality Management at SAIT (where he studied).
In the Chaîne Mark held several local Bailliage offices in the Bailliage of Alberta in Calgary before being promoted to Bailli and ultimately to his current grade of Bailli Provincial of the Prairies.
Recently, Mark shared some thoughts …
From where does your love of gastronomy come?
My mother's entrepreneurial spirit starting her own restaurants inspired me. I loved the excitement, passion and dedication to be successful. An obvious secret code I unlocked.
What have been the biggest developments in hospitality that you have witnessed in your career?
When I began there was only one way to cook, i.e. with tried, true techniques for decades. Today there are still basic principles and the same language, stylistically though things have changed so much. Now many genres of food exist today from street food to 3-star Michelin restaurant tasting menus. All are accepted and sought-after gastronomically.
What advice would you give to young and aspiring Hoteliers?
Find the very best mentors; work in the best possible establishments. But what's in your heart will decide what you achieve. Be patient, build relationships, share and collaborate. It is your path, your desire and your destiny… what will be your legacy? It takes patience, great teams and an amazing attitude.

Queries are powerful tools for use in bringing data into an Excel workbook, and they become more powerful yet when you apply parameters to them.
The techniques discussed in Chapter 5, "Using Microsoft Query," and in this chapter are fine for interactive work—when you're doing something once only, or when you're early in the development process for something that you expect to grow. Those techniques are still used, and used heavily, in more complex situations.

Our counselors are available to you 24/7 to answer any questions you have and help you find the the treatment program that fits your needs.
All calls completely confidential.1-877-429-3830
Some individuals try treatment several times without any luck, which is discouraging to the point that they will stop trying to be. Don't assume all drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Ronkonkoma, New York are similar however, and just because somebody is in rehabilitation doesn't mean they're necessarily within a facility that is ideal for them. So it is important to take into account when selecting a drug and alcohol rehab center in Ronkonkoma, New York is if it is an ideal facility based off of one's level of dependency and whether it is of sufficient length and the right environment to ensure that a person might experience true rehabilitation. Short-term programs would be the least ideal for example, because short-term programs of four weeks or less aren't enough time for anyone to recover in any other way than physically in most cases, when there are many things left to handle. Likewise, outpatient centers in Ronkonkoma, NY. aren't ideal because addicted individuals do best in rehab whenever they can get away from that prompted their substance abuse as opposed to remaining in such an environment that will most likely sabotage their time in rehabilitation.
So inpatient and long-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Ronkonkoma that offer drug and alcohol rehab programs for 4 months in most cases are really the centers you're going to want to choose, and these programs hold the highest rates of success in helping clients be fully rehabbed from addiction. If getting an individual into treatment is a problem and loved ones are having challenges to helping someone since they're either in denial or are simply hopeless, an intervention is often the next thing to think about. So meet with a drug and alcohol treatment counselor about holding an intervention in Ronkonkoma so that someone you care about can receive the lifesaving rehab they need without delay.

Doctor Gregory Konrath, a well-regarded orthopedic surgeon in Indiana, who now sits in state prison, insists that when he told his former girlfriend that he was planning to murder his divorced wife, he certainly didn't think she would take him seriously.
"It was just a fantasy that I had, and it was a detailed fantasy, yes. A lot of it was BS, drunken BS," Konrath says now.
It seems Gregory Konrath MD of Peru Indiana, was on vacation in July, 2014 in Puerto Rico with his former girlfriend, nurse Joannah Bierzychudek. That was when she secretly recorded a stunning conversation they had one night over drinks at their hotel, where Konrath started talking about how he planned to kill Ana Konrath, his ex-wife and the mother of his three children.
"We were out on the beach. It's vacation, so I was drinking," Konrath says. "Then I just told Joannah about this kind of dark fantasy that I had about killing Ana."
Konrath, age 50, says that while he went into great detail that night about how he would get away with his ex-wife's murder, he claims he wasn't being serious.
Inside the Bizarre Case of an Indiana Surgeon Accused of Plotting Ex-Wife's Murder
"The 'plan,' just to paraphrase, is basically for me to sneak in the house with my kids there asleep and shoot her in the head and make it look like a suicide," Konrath said. "The thought would be that, if I could get in and out, that would be pretty solid to proving that I wasn't there."
On the recording, Konrath is heard talking about how he would place the gun he would use as a murder weapon, and that he had driven past Ana's house twice already. But now, Konrath says he was just embellishing.
"I never put the gun in my car and drove over there to do it, never. No. No," he said.
When asked why he owned a gun in the first place, Konrath said, "for home protection" and said he had bought it from, "some guy in a parking lot."
But Konrath's elaborate description was enough to make Joannah fear not only for Ana's life, but her own. Once she had the recording and got back to Indiana, she turned it over to police.
The jaw-dropping recording, obtained exclusively by ABC News, paired with evidence found at Konrath's home, was enough to arrest him on attempted murder charges in July 2014. However, these charges were later dropped after lead prosecutor Bruce Embrey learned of a precedent set by a previous attempted murder case in Indiana.
"You have to be in the vicinity with the means to commit murder. I was very disgusted with the whole thing" says Embrey.
After the prosecution dropped the charges, Konrath was arrested again, but not for attempted murder. Watch ABC News' "20/20" HERE to find out why Konrath is in prison.
Konrath says he regrets the things he said to Joannah. "It's an ugly recording. I am embarrassed that I said those things, and it's terrible. Terrible."
He added that he has learned one thing from this experience: "Be careful what you say in front of your girlfriend," he said. "I think she truly was thinking I was serious and truly thought she was doing the right thing."
Ana Konrath declined to comment for this report. As for Joannah, she still fears for her life.
"Life right now is just survival," she said. "You never know when you go out on a first date that it'll affect the rest of your life."

The Swahili language, also known as Kiswahili, is one of the two most widely spoken African languages, alongside Hausa.
With an estimated 50 million speakers (compared to Hausa's estimated 25 million), Swahili's significance on the African continent is impossible to underestimate. The development of the Swahili language, with its powerful Arab and colonial influences, make it an intriguing point of study for both historians and linguists.
Classification of the Swahili Language
Swahili is classified as a member of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo subfamily of the African language family. The African languages are all native to Africa, and scholars have estimated that approximately 2,000 distinct languages exist on the continent.
The close relationship shared by many of the Benue-Congo languages, spoken primarily in southern and central Africa, has been acknowledged for more than a century. These languages are widely known as "Bantu" languages – a word which translates to "the people" in many Benue-Congo languages. Other important Bantu languages include the Zulu and Xhosa languages of South Africa, Rundi language of Burundi, and the Kikuyu language of Kenya.
Early History of the Swahili Language: Arab Influence
The Arabic language has had a significant influence on Swahili and played a major part in the actual development of the Swahili language. This stems from the centuries of contact between inhabitants of the eastern coast of Africa and Arabic traders.
It was under Arab influence that Swahili developed to become the primary language of areas of the east African coast. By the 19th century Swahili had come to serve as a common language for a significant number of Bantu-speaking tribal groups.
Inland Migration of the Swahili Language
Starting in the early 19th century, the Swahili language began to migrate further inland along with the Arab ivory and slave caravans that used primarily Swahili as a language of communication. These trade caravans traveled as far west as Congo and north to Uganda, disseminating the Swahili language as they went.
European Colonization and the Swahili Language
Rather than suppressing the use of Swahili, European colonialists chose to adopt the language, continuing its use as a common tool of communication. Both German and British colonial administrations tended to encourage the use of Swahili in public schools, civil service and other government areas, thereby further aiding the spread of the language.
German colonial powers were especially zealous in their adoption of the Swahili language, making extensive use of Swahili as the administrative language of Tanganyika (present-day Tanzania). This policy had long-lasting effects still apparent today as Swahili was declared the national language of post-independence Tanzania.
Development of the Written Swahili Language
The oldest known example of written Swahili dates to the early 18th century. Swahili was initially written in an Arabic script thanks to east African people's contact with Arab traders. Efforts to standardize the Swahili language were undertaken by British colonial authorities in the 1930s.
Working with local Africa scholars and writers, British authorities determined that the Kiunguja dialect of Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania should serve as the basis for a standard Swahili, both spoken and written. Since this time, standard Swahili has been written using a Latin alphabet, and this script is still utilized in publishing and educational institutions today.
Swahili Language Today
The Swahili language is currently spoken on the eastern coast of Africa in an area ranging from the Lamu Island of Kenya in the north to southern Tanzania. It is most commonly found in Tanzania, Kenya, Congo and Uganda.
Swahili serves as the official language of public administration and education in Tanzania. It serves similar purposes in Uganda and Kenya, alongside the English language. In the Congo, Swahili serves as one of four languages of government and public administration, although French is primarily used for these purposes.
Swahili is also spoken in other African countries, notably in areas of Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, the Comoros Islands, and Mozambique. A number of Swahili-speaking immigrant communities of the East African diaspora also can be found in the Gulf countries, Europe and North America.
Dialects of the Swahili Language
An estimated 15 primary Swahili dialects are in existence, in addition to various forms of pidgin Swahili.
There are three dominant dialects. The first, Kiunguja, is spoken on Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania, and serves as the basis for the standard Swahili language. The other two primary dialects are Kimvita (which is spoken in Mombasa and Kenya) and Kiamu (which is spoken on the Kenyan island of Lamu and adjacent coastal areas).
Loanwords in the Swahili Language
Thanks to east Africa's long history of contact with the Arab-speaking world, the Swahili language contains an enormous number of words borrowed from Arabic. Among these loanwords is the word "Swahili" itself, which comes from an Arabic word that literally translates to "of the coast."
Most of the loanwords taken from Arabic deal with areas such as business, trade and religion. Although most of these Arab language loanwords still exist in the Swahili language, English has come to replace Arabic as the primary source for borrowed words in the Swahili language.
Swahili Literature
Early Swahili fictional literature consisted primarily of narratives based on indigenous oral tales, Arabic stories, and translations of European works. A notable figure who helped move Swahili literature to a more modern era was the writer Shaaban Robert, a popular Tanzanian poet, novelist and essayist.
Later Swahili language literature included a broader variety of topics, from detective stories to serious novels dealing with modern topics such as industrialization, westernization, and post-independence societies in Africa. Since the 1960s, Swahili language literature and publishing has significantly expanded.

Last Minute Preparation Tips
This article is all about the outstanding preparation that works during last minute of the examination commencement. We have come up with these cracking preparation tips for the ease of the students not scoring good marks that prevent them from succeeding the examination they are going through. With the intention of facilitating the students, we have laid the tips section wise so as to make the information relevant and comprehensive for this matter.
By following these studying tips, the students will be getting the best use of the last-minute study that becomes the obstacle of most of the students while pursuing their educations. All of this is connected to the brain of the students. But, we just not have to take the physical observation into consideration but also follow these tips as mentioned below:
1) Stop studying at-least one hour when examination starts
The fundamental idea that works behind this is that you need to give rest to your mind so that you do not get involved in the stress. You mind works the way it should only when you are all relaxed, and if you aren't, you simply can't focus on the study or the subject you are trying to learn. This time is the least time, the most time could be a day before the date of the examination. When you have done this (first) step, the seconds step need to be followed.
2) Revise the Abstract (Summary) of the Topic or Subject
This is just another that works perfectly when you are tensed or strained about your examination. This is for those students who have not got much time to revise the entire syllabus in depth. Just read out the summary of the subject. You can also take help from your classmates if they are with you right then so as to make the right selection of the suitable and most important topics.
3) Having read the Summary, Write Down the Main Points that you just remembered
When you are done with the revision of the summary, you need to make a list or say bulleted points or numbered list so that what you read or write stays in the mind of yours for a long time and you do not tend to forget the points while appearing for the examination. You can also bring another tip into play by saying the main points of the topic out loud. This will help you memorize the items and let them be stored in your mind's memory.
3) Do Previous Papers
By solving the questions asked in the previously held examinations, you can increase the question-solving power and get to know other vital things, such as the format of the examination (though this works for those who are going to appear in such an exam in which they never took part before). You really need to pay the heed to these test papers. You can easily get these test papers managed by your school or university you are getting educated in or ask your seniors to get them to you.
4) Revise Stuff
After doing or following all the above-mentioned steps, what you need to do again is the revision of the particular subject for which you are going to take part in the examination. The reason why you need to do this is that, this will make you be more confident and let you test yourself or your skills to crack the exam.
We hope that these groovy last minute preparation tips might have helped you. Apart from these ones, some other crucial tips can be taken into consideration from the following section.
- No matter what happens, you have to take the healthy food for your healthy body. As body plays an important role and is connected to the mind which helps in memorizing.
- Be flexible. You do not have to stress your brains thinking too much about how your day went whether it went well of worse than ever. Do not oversleep; it may affect your power of memorizing.
- Take regular pauses. The scientific research shows that when you take regular breaks between the learning time, the chances of bearing something in mind become higher. If you have an hour to study, make it 50 minutes so you can get 10 minutes off.
- When you learn, share that with your classmates or the one who is also doing preparations for the same exam (do this only when your exam and the one you are sharing with has the same exam otherwise, there will be a conflict). This is recommended as when you prepare with one or more than one, it takes less time to reach the individual goal.
- You might also want to do exercise, make are whether you are comfortable doing so.
- Be relaxed. Being relaxed can help you get the rid of the strain you are having about the examination. You can experience some other exercises to do so.
- Avoid loud music. Though this can tough for those who have been listening to the music for a long time. If you think you can keep yourself away from the music. Have some soft music.

MORNING GLORY DAYS: Date & Time Troubles
Welcome to another edition of MORNING GLORY DAYS, Comic Book Resources' exclusive column dedicated to all things "Morning Glories," the smash hit Image Comics series written by Nick Spencer and illustrated by Joe Eisma. Following every new issue of the series, CBR News will sit down with Spencer for insight and illumination on some of the most mysterious layers "Morning Glories" has to offer.
Last month's "Morning Glories" #8 proved one thing to be true about the kids at Morning Glory Academy — even nice guys have their secrets. The second issue of the book's "get to know a cast member" arc focuses in on the Glories resident solid dude Hunter, revealing some twisted secrets about his biology, his seeming inability to make appointments on time and his frosty relationship with his father. Of course, this being "Morning Glories" — even the most average teenage occurrences are proving to be more than they seem at face value.
Below, Spencer delves into what Hunter's past means for his present and how the rough and tough students of the Academy are forming up into something more than steering committees and club sports. Read on for an inside look into the creation of the issue as well as some clues to the identity of the killer stalking the campus!
CBR News: All right! Issue #8! You said last time you expected this issue to be a bit more of a crowd pleaser, and I was struck by how much you're trying to balance the big, weird mystery stuff with the high school action. Is this issue pretty indicative of how you'd like the book to come across on the whole?
Nick Spencer: Yeah, I think some issues lend themselves to that better than others. #7 and 8 have each been pretty easy to make that work and get it all in one issue where you're bouncing between the present day high school stuff, the stuff that happened when they were younger and the broader mysteries that we're seeding throughout the book. It was nice in this issue because it felt like we really hit the mold. It's good when all those things hold hands.
We open up with Hunter being given a watch from this stranger, and in a good story, we should assume that everything happening is happening for a reason. Still, as I read this book I can't help but find myself asking, "Is this scene pregnant with meaning?" [Spencer Laughs] The idea that seems to be developing here is that whoever is running the Academy has been watching these kids a long time, and in this scene specifically we get a hint that maybe those forces are more benevolent than we expected. Can we assume that some involved in all this have these kids best interests in mind?
That's a tricky question! It's clear someone has been keeping their eye on these kids. Whether or not that someone is a part of the Academy or in opposition to the Academy or is something entirely different is a question we'll be answering down the road. But what you are beginning to see is that the strangeness in these kids lives did not begin with their enrollment at the Academy.
It's kind of funny. I remember back during the first arc, one of the things I heard a lot of readers say, "I just can't believe that these kids are rolling with this the way they are. The average teenager put in this situation would be screaming and crying and hiding in a corner." And to some extent, that's what a couple of the kids did — in particular, Jade. But now we're seeing the beginnings of why their entrance to this school is maybe just the latest strange things to happen to at least some of these kids.
The other main thread of this issue, outside of Hunter's time-reading troubled past, is his developing "Moonlighting"-style relationship with Casey. That was an idea you really got out in front of in the first arc so much as to say, "We've got our two most well-adjusted characters, and we know everyone expects them to get together." Do you want to fight against that impulse, or do you want to explore that trope in that these are archetypes?
A little bit of column A, little bit of column B. I think there's a definite kind of John Hughesian element to Casey and Hunter's relationship. That's not to say that will always be the case. It's not to say we won't throw some curve balls down the road. But for now, I think these are two characters that would connect at this point in their lives for a variety of reasons. I think that they are two characters that would naturally stick with each other to some extent. When you look at some of the dynamics we've set up so far, you see like you would with any real group of kids that people like Ike and Zoe are going to have an uncomfortable relationship with people like Hunter and Casey. Then you've got people like Jade, who someone like Casey would immediately feel very protective of, or someone like Jun, who Hunter would naturally want to bring into the fold more. These are all natural relationship patterns that would be drawn out of these characters…in the beginning. We're still very early in this story. So, like in any real relationship, things will change, and the way characters view each other will be altered.
But for now, this is a nice, sweet story. I like Hunter and Casey. They make sense to me, and it makes sense to me that they would feel this connection. Now, whether or not it's a romantic connection remains to be seen, but for now, Casey needs somebody more than she realizes. She's going through a lot, and she's internalizing a great deal of it. So the door's a little more open to a guy like Hunter now than it would be at some other point in her life.
I may be outing myself as being behind with the kids and their crazy Rock N Roll music, but what is this song that Hunter is singing after he's successfully asked Casey out?
This is Yeasayer's "Ambling Alp." Yeasayer is one of my favorite bands, and it was just a fun song to put in. I thought it was very apropos for a variety of reasons. It seemed like the kind of song Hunter would like and certainly the kind of song that you would blast on your iPod after something good happened. So just a fun little pop culture reference. I think Hunter would have pretty good taste in music. It was fun to get to do this issue. I'd said it was a crowd pleaser, and we got to do some fun high school young love moments here in a book that's been about a lot of big mysteries and scary moments and people getting disemboweled or having their brains exploded. It's nice once in a while to write a very sweet scene of two teenagers awkwardly agreeing to give it a go. I think that's a good thing to do.
Let's talk about the flashback and the Hurley experience here. I think it's great that you're willing to wear your influences on your sleeve. Some people would constantly be trying to lean back off things like "LOST" as influences, but do you feel pretty confident that you can describe how different this series will be from the things that influenced it without having to deny those influences?
I think anybody that reads this book can see how we walk that line between being influenced and ripping something off. We walk it very well here. It's one of the things I'm proud of here. The book is very much about wearing its influences on its sleeve. That's a big part of the storytelling method. It's got a wide variety of influences. We talk a lot about the "LOST" connection, and that certainly is a big one, but there's also a lot of "The Prisoner" here. There's a lot of "Runaways" and John Hughes movies of the '80s, and there's a lot of the '90s teen slasher movies — "Scream" and "The Faculty" and "Disturbing Behavior." All of that stuff is in the mix here.
We're very open about that, and to me one o the best comparisons is Kevin Williamson's first "Scream," in the way the characters were very much aware that they were part of a story and that they were playing by the rules of a story. That's always really connected with me because I feel like if these kinds of things were happening to you suddenly, you would draw on your pop culture experience more than you think. You would use that knowledge as personal experience in informing how you'd respond and react. Sometimes they do it in a tongue-in-cheek way, and sometimes they do it in a serious way. But I like the self awareness. I like giving the readers a wink and a nod when I can. This reference is a bit on the nose, and I don't think for legal reasons I'm allowed to say exactly who that is. [Laughter] But if it were, that'd be fun. Hopefully that's a sign that we're not taking ourselves too seriously and we're just having a good time with it.
What's interesting is, "LOST" itself would do this all the time. Damon Lindelof would always have somebody reading a book or referencing something that had inspired "LOST." He and Carlton Cuse were big fans of doing that themselves.
In more important matters unpacked in the flashback, we're getting some real exploration of Hunter and his dad's relationship. When we first met Hunter, he seemed like a really nice, well-adjusted kid whose dad was a huge jerk. Can we assume that the revelations of this issue — that his dad harbors ill will for Hunter missing out on so much of his mother's death — is a pretty face value reason for that relationship deteriorating?
There's a lot about the relationship between Hunter and his dad that we're going to explore over time. When I was dreaming up the backgrounds for these kids, it's one of the elements that came right to me and was immediately of interest to me. So we'll keep coming back to that, and I think it'll be an interesting relationship to explore because I think what people are starting to see is that it's not a sensational story. Hunter's dad is not beating him, and he's not a villain per se, but we can tell that there's a little less than healthy dynamic between the two of them. It's clearly a big part of Hunter's life, and he talked a little bit about it with Casey in #4. It's something that's a key part of who he is, and it's one story that's really interesting to me personally. There aren't a lot of stories about those strained relationships between parents and children that aren't driven by a huge event or something physical that you can easily put your finger on but are instead made up of a lot of small problems. I think that this moment — which we'll certainly find out a lot more about as we go on — of Hunter missing his mother's funeral is a pivotal thing for the character. We'll find out why later.
The other thing that I can't imagine has a concrete answer right now but I can't help but ask is: what's up with 8:13? What can we do with this number at this point aside from roll with it?
It's a "roll with it" moment. It's the seed for a long term thing. What I will say is that it's not a random number. The number in question has significance. The time in question is going to have great significance for Hunter down the road.
We've got another thread in this issue of Hunter dealing with some bullies, led by someone we learn is Jun's twin brother. There's a few different ways we can look at all this stuff, but the phrase that stands out to me strongest is, "You're the captain, after all," which makes it seem like there's some greater organization behind the other boys at the Academy. In what way does this idea play into the school hierarchy we saw in play last month with the cheerleading squad, and what can we infer about how the Glories will work their way into that hierarchy?
That's a big part of the next couple of arcs to come. It really starts here. In addition to learning about the Glories' past, one of my first goals of this arc was to deal with their initial interactions with other students. In the first arc, the other classmates were in the background, and it was all about these six kids versus the faculty — and only a couple of members of the faculty at that. As we go on, this is a very big school, and there's a lot of people to deal with. Anyone who went to high school remembers that who you deal with is a big part of the experience. We're going to pull that camera back a bit and deal with their interactions a bit and how they fit in to the social hierarchy of the school. The school has certain things that are very defined in that sense, and the captain line is the first hint of that. But there will be a lot more of that to come. As we do, we'll see that some of our kids are going to adjust, adapt and integrate into the school much more successfully than others. For some of these kids, they're going to be a fish in water. For some of them, it's going to be difficult. And neither side may hold the kids you expect. This is the beginning of something you'll see through all of the first season — their relationship with the faculty and the other students. We'll see more of both over this arc.
I feel like I should be keeping a running tally of "This is a fact that we can hold on to." [Laughter] And for this month, the fact that we can grasp on to is that Hunter, at the very least, is biologically different from other people — if not all the kids. One question I'd been asking myself with the cone and the prisoner is whether the sci-fi elements here would be physics based or theoretical science. This is a cross-genre story, for sure, but do you have any specific sci-fi ideas that inform how this all fits together?
I know what it is, but one of the things that I really like about this story is that I think it's good for the people reading to not know. That does heighten some of the mystery and suspense in that they can't tell which direction of science fiction or fantasy we're going in, and it makes it that much harder to get a handle on it. It makes it more dizzying. I like the fact that people pick this thing up every month, and they're not sure if on the last page one of these kids is going to be flying or if it's a time travel story or if it's a multi-dimentional story. Is it a Philip K. Dick story or a Ray Bradbury or a Robert Anton Wilson? What kind of science fiction is this? For me, that's part of the fun. When you go into something like "Existence 2.0" or "The Infinite Vacation" we make it clear what kind of genre you're getting into. One of the things I like about "Morning Glories" is that because we don't give you that option, it really feels like anything can happen. It's good to see people wondering.
And yeah, this is a hint of something. It certainly opens up some new possibilities. Is it a genetic thing? Is it a brainwave thing? What she's seeing here is something that we're not making clear yet, but there's something there certainly.
You pull in two pages of pure darkness punctuated by dialogue balloons only, which I enjoy because it's the kind of scene that is pure comics and can't be done in any other medium. How did you go about laying out this dialogue to make it work on the page?
It was a little tricky! I remember putting that hood over Hunter's head so he couldn't see where he was going, and I thought, in terms of building the suspense and keeping the confusion going, it might be fun to literally put the readers in the dark with Hunter. So I just plotted it out as normal, but with no panel descriptions, and Johnny [Lowe] did a nice job in terms of his lettering spacing and making it look right on the page. I really liked the effect. It was a fun thing to try, and I don't think we were the first people to do it, but I like going outside the box a bit.
So, the last page — should we just assume that someone's going to get cut up in every issue of this arc?
[Laughs] I thought you might ask me something like that. I think part of the fun now is, maybe you're expecting that. This is the second time in as many issues we've seen somebody get violently killed with these words appearing next to them. It seems like something's going on. Kids are dropping like flies, now, and it may not have anything to do with the faculty, which is something we haven't seen before these issues. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Something's going on for sure, and I will say that by the end of this arc, you're going to see the reaction to this. This is all happening very quickly, and what the response is is a big part of what's coming.
Here's my best shot at a question that can get a definite answer: is the killer somebody we've seen on panel before?
There's a definite note to go out on. Well, except to say that next time out, we get Jun's story, and it appears that we'll be unpacking the revelations from this month.
I recognize that we're telling a long-form story, and the trick to doing a long-form mystery is answering questions as you go along while asking new questions at the same time. Next issue does that. You'll get some definitive answers. This is one time where you'll get an answer that you don't have to wait three months to understand. You'll get what's hopefully a very satisfying conclusion to one of the mysteries, but some new things are going to pop up too. It's a fun one. I think people will be happy with getting something concrete at this point. I understand the nerves of a lot of readers thinking, "Is this going to be a big let down? Is he just throwing things out randomly?" At least next week, you'll be able to say that from one of those early cliffhangers, we'll get a clear answer.

Interestingly over 90% of these are endemic however a further 68 species have been introduced since European settlement.There are no major differences between butterflies and moths - they are common names given to a group of insects called Lepidoptera (from the Greek for 'scaly wings'). But some generalisations can be made: moths usually hold their wings flat while resting, have feathery antennae, and are active at night. Butterflies are more colourful, have clubbed antennae, hold their wings upright over the body while at rest, and fly during the day. Ross Curtis @moaimages.co.nz All Rights Reserved.

But, did you know that Ditas is running for City Treasurer for the City of National City. Her candidacy was endorsed by PSAR, along with National City Firefighters IAFF Local 2774.
"I feel good about the race and I'm looking forward to election day on Tuesday," said Ditas. "I'm running against the incumbent who has been in office for eight years and run unopposed twice. My main priority is to ensure that we live in a fiscally responsible city and that our taxpayers are informed on how our tax dollars are spent. I want to be a voice for the people and promote participation in our community. I will ensure that our sales tax sufficiently funds public safety to create a better quality of life."
Since 2015, Ditas has served as one of seven Planning Commissioners for the City of National City, overseeing land use, permitting and zoning changes. She also is currently serving as President of the National City Public Safety Foundation.
In addition, for the past three years, Ditas has served as a member of the Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee for Proposition "O," a $644 million bond measure voters passed in 2008. Prop. O is financing construction improvements for the Sweetwater Union High School District's.
The family has operated a business in National City since 1991. Then, in 2000, she moved her residence from Chula Vista to National City and became involved with the National City Chamber of Commerce, serving as its President in 2008. She also has served as President of the Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce of San Diego County.
Ditas was born in the Philippines. "I grew up very poor and I didn't like that life so I worked very hard to seek opportunities and have a better quality of life," she said. While attending the University of Santo Tomas in Manila as a medical student, she worked in the TV industry as a producer and director of variety shows showcasing young talent. At age 18, she competed in the Binibining Pilipinas Universe, a qualifying pageant for the Miss Universe pageant representing the Philippines. She was one of the finalists from among about 60 entrants.
In 1988, she moved to the U.S. and got a job as a flight attendant for United Airlines. "I flew international routes for 16 years," Ditas said. "Unfortunately, flying internationally is hard on your body and I retired in 2004 from an injury."
In 2002, she earned her real estate sales license. Two years later, she became a broker. "Like many people, we got hit hard during the recession when the bubble hit. Now, we're more prudent and diligent in our investments and in compliance matters," Ditas said.
Ditas and her husband Rey recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. "Our son Darrell works for the City of San Diego and our daughter NikkiRae, a graduate at Sweetwater High School, is attending San Diego State on a full scholarship, studying for bachelor's degree in International Security and Conflict Resolution. Also, she has been accepted to Oxford University in England for a course on international studies and to prepare for law school," Ditas said. "Best of all, I'm a new grandma and our grandbaby Olivia is a bundle of joy."
Ditas currently operates several businesses. Since 2002, Ditas has operated National City Realty Services and Premium Real Estate Services since 2010. She also is Publisher and Editor of a new local news magazine called "The Southbay Times." In addition, in May of this year, Ditas was named Broker Executive Officer of Coastal Front Realty, a real estate company in National City that now has about 30 agents. Robert Acuna serves as the office general manager.
Ditas' passion is helping young professionals. She is currently mentoring two partners with Coastal Front Realty, including Stacy Fuertes, Assistant General Manager/REALTOR®, and Nelson Gian Labsan, President/REALTOR®. "Young people are the lifeline of the industry and I enjoy helping them achieve their dreams," she said. "Some of our agents might not stay with us forever, but at least we had a chance to mold them."
Another passion of Ditas is supporting PSAR. "We have an outstanding Association that helps our members achieve phenomenal success," said Ditas. "I'm thankful that PSAR continues to strive to offer our members the most up-to-date resources and educational opportunities to ensure outstanding results."

Voices of Young people
Art Competition – Winner!!
Art Competition – Voices of Resistance!
We think that female genital mutilation (FGM) is everybody's business and that young people's voices and views are essential to ending FGM. We believe that resistance, change, perseverance and survival are essential elements in the FGM campaign. What do you think?
a 16 year old who is part of Women's Health Family Support (WHFS); is our art competition winner.
Nadia says:
I am a feminist, who believes that every one of these women who suffer from these horrific and scarring moments are simply diamonds in the rough. They are humans who have value and worth and are much more than just living, breathing creatures. I feel that it is my duty as a steward to protect my sisters whom I share the blood of, the blood of a female. I strongly believe that this pain, torment, agony and affliction should be immediately put to a halt. The people of humanity should be educated that we as children of our ancestors, should make a difference to our world, to our community and to our brothers and sisters who face a fearful fate. Those should not fear as a brighter future is within their reach. However we as citizens of the world must take the first step in helping our neighbours and that no voice small nor large should be ignored when it comes to help. I believe that there is no measurement of help and that a good deed is a good deed. Even when you feel like you could have done more always remember that "If anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind": Qur'an. We are humans, we have free will, YOU make a choice.

What You'll Get
Your car relies on you to maintain it regularly and not to gun it across any rivers, even if there are free Thickburgers on the opposite bank. Keep your vehicular promises with today's Groupon to Swedish Motors in Marietta. Choose between the following options:
- For $45, you get an intermediate maintenance service including an oil change (up to a $108 value).
- For $49, you get an express service detail good for cars or medium-size SUVs (a $99 value).
Swedish Motors' ASE-certified technicians take pride in restoring vehicular functionality and cosmetic appeal. A 45-minute intermediate maintenance service swaps out the auto's exhausted lifeblood for up to 6 quarts of premium synthetic blend oil, and also replaces its filter cartridge, drain plug gasket, and toothbrush along the way. An included inspection provides a meticulous once-over on remaining fluid levels, belts, brakes, hoses, and tires, noting the condition as well as any wear that would benefit from additional attention. The positive crankcase ventilation system receives a pressure test to guard against sludge buildup and overachieving emissions and wiper blades shed performance-hindering grime via a thorough wipe down. The technicians' dutiful eyes also scan for flaws in the suspension and exhaust systems, before conducting a thorough testing of all exterior lights in a sensory deprivation chamber.
For cars that are frequently lauded for their winning personalities, the express service detail spends up to three hours beautifying combustion carriages both inside and out. A hand wash and wax restores luster to the vehicle's pelt, and a wheel and tire dressing ensures that autos meet the road in style. Windows blink away dirt, restoring their once-perfect vision as interior surfaces subject themselves to a snappy cleaning and vacuuming. An on-site waiting room plies waiting car parents with complimentary coffee, snacks, oxygen, and wireless Internet access during their wait, while free loaner vehicles can also be arranged when requested and available.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires May 6, 2012. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. By appointment only. May apply value for upgrade on express detail option. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.

China National Children's Center
Beijing, China
This Luckey Climber occupies the courtyard of the China National Children's Center, a building which was once the private house of Mao Zedong's fourth wife. The structure is a steel coil which terminates at either end in tails which bend in opposing directions, inspired by taijitu symbol (yin and yang) and the strokes of Chinese calligraphy. The platforms are hand-stained in vibrant colors resembling fireworks.Client:

The Padres are ice-cold (4-13 in their last 17 games), the Rockies are red-hot (10 game winning streak), and the Giants are playing solid baseball (9-3 in their last 12). The Padres had a six game lead over their Giants 2 weeks ago, and they are now tied after the Giants beat the Padres today. The Rockies were 10 games back as recently as a few weeks ago, and are now only 1.5 games out.
It would seem that the Padres have no chance and are about to be cast aside by the Rockies juggernaut, but things can change quickly. The Padres could remember how to hit or an injury could disrupt the momentum of the Rockies or Giants. Even if a giant reset button were pressed tomorrow for every team, their schedules could still end up determining whether they make the playoffs or not.
It's not looking that good for the Padres on this front either. They've been a good road team this season, although they have lost 5 of their last 6. The fact that most of their final games are on the road wouldn't be such a big deal, but they are playing some of the best home teams in the league.
The Giants, meanwhile, have most of their final games at home, and the teams they're playing aren't great road teams (and being a great road team almost always results in fewer wins than being a great home team anyway).
You have to wonder how much longer the Rockies can keep this up. In 2007, they played well in late August and early September (although they were barely over .500 on September 1st), but didn't really turn on the jets until September 16th, when they began an 11 game winning streak (following a three game losing streak), eventually winning 14 of their final 15 and making it to the World Series.
Even during their recent hot streak, almost all of their winning has come at home (only 6 of their last 20 games have come on the road). If they have any problems at home, they could be in trouble. It looks like it's coming down to the wire, and the Padres-Giants series in San Francisco from October 1-3 to close out the season could be the series of the year.
