Signs of Self-Harm and 3 Risk Factors
November 16, 2015
When you think of self-harm, do you think only about physical harm? Head banging? Cutting? Burning? Self-harm is not only physical but also psychologically harmful and becomes more damaging over longer periods. Difficult feelings from emotional pain are usually dealt with by inflicting physical wounds or indirect self-harm.
It's estimated that about one in 12 teens engage in self-injurious behaviors. In the United States, an estimated 10 percent of young people self-harm, with girls being at a greater risk for self-harm due to repressed emotional distress.
Signs of Self-Harm
You may ask yourself why anyone would want to self-harm. Most people think it's done to seek attention; however, teens often self-harm to make themselves feel better and cope with emotional pain.
Self-harm is a maladaptive way to cope with unbearable tension and guilt, to distract from overwhelming emotions and difficult situations, and to feel something besides numbness. The following are signs of direct and indirect self-harm and what to look for:
Direct Self-Harm
- Skin cutting
- Skin burning
- Ingesting poisonous toxic chemicals
- Hitting oneself/head banging
Indirect Self-Harm
- Gambling
- Substance abuse
- Extreme risk-taking
- Starvation or binge eating
- Staying in an abusive relationship
- Engaging in unsafe sex
- Reckless driving
What to Look For
- Scars from burns or cuts
- Bruises/ unhealed wounds
- Isolation and extreme irritability
- Being alone in a room or closed-in space for a long period of time
- Wearing long sleeves or long pants, no matter the climate
- Having many "accidents" to explain their injuries
- Blood stains on clothing/towels/bedding
3 Risk Factors of Self-Harm
It's a misconception that self-harm is done to seek attention or to act out if a teen isn't getting their way. However, prolonged self-harming is usually a sign of underlying issues that go much deeper than attention-seeking behavior. The following are three risk factors of self-harm:
1) Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma such as sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and neglect often plays a primary role in self-harm or self-injurious behavior. Numerous research studies show that the majority of teens who self-harm have experienced sexual and/or physical abuse, with about 90 percent of this behavior occurring in teen girls.
2) Social Problems
Whether it's being a victim of bullying, feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, relationship struggles, personal identity issues, unstable sexual identity, having friends who self-injure or promiscuity, teens who experience these social problems are often at a higher risk for self-harm behavior than teens who don't struggle with these issues.
3) Mental Health Problems
Often a mental health disorder contributes to self-harming behavior. The most common co-occurring mental disorders for teens who engage in self-harm include:
- Borderline personality disorder
- Anxiety disorders
- Substance Use Disorder
- Depressive disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
Getting Help for Your Teen
Whether a teen is struggling with childhood trauma, social problems, and/or mental health problems, self-harm is a serious condition that should be cared for immediately by experienced mental health professionals.
At Teen Treatment Center, our board-certified staff has experience treating teens, especially teen girls, for self-harm and self-injurious behaviors (except eating disorders) along with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

Paper Dolls A paper doll is a two-dimensional figure drawn or printed on paper for which accompanying clothing has also been made. The Golden Age of Paper Dolls
The 1930s through the 1950s can perhaps claim the title "Golden Age of Paper Dolls," as their popularity during those years has never been equaled. During the Great Depression, paper toys could be afforded by all. celebrity You can make your own fashion details wardrobe There are many different ways to make a self-portrait – it doesn't have to be a traditional drawing or painting of your face. We will be making our self portraits into paper dolls.
What will your self-portrait say about you?
Making a self-portrait is a great way to express and explore your identity. It's not about what your parents, friends, teachers, brothers or sisters think you should be. • It's about who you think you are. Think of the things that make you what you are:
* the clothes you wear and the way you look
* the music you listen to and the music you make
* the words you write and the images you create
* what you've been through and how you feel now
* where you live and where you belong
* the things you love and the things you hate
* your passions, politics and beliefs
* your family and friends
* the things that make you laugh and the things that make you cry
* the places you like and the places you fear
* the people you admire and the people you trust
* the messages you write and the messages you receive
You might think that your bedroom, your clothes, your diary or even some of your favorite objects, photographs or documents say more about you than any mirror image could describe. Since the Renaissance, artists have used self-portraits to answer the basic question, Who am I?
A mirror or a photograph can tell a person what he or she looks like, but that outer image rarely reflects the whole self.
Self-portraiture asks artists to think carefully about personality, character, mood, and physical appearance in order to make decisions about how to represent themselves. Self Portraits a portrait of oneself done by oneself. How to make a self portrait Why do artists make self portraits? Ideas to get you started: In your self portrait you need to be the real you.

Starting at the Ashern Motor Hotel, the poker will begin at 10:30 am. Each hand goes for $5, or three hands for $10.
Afterwards, riders will take off on one of two trails towards 'Matty's Cabin', named after former Fire Chief Matt Baker, where there'll be lunch.
Fire Chief Ken Falk says this poker derby has been happening for quite some time.
"We have been putting this on for a number of years, too many to count. But, it started off small as more of a fun thing to do, but it has grown into a pretty good fundraiser for us."
Chief Falk says last year, the derby raised just over $1000 dollars towards new equipment for the Fire Department.

"Stop-and-go" e-payment facilities will be provided at Aberdeen Tunnel's manual toll booths from September 24, the Transport Department announced today.
Motorists will be able to pay tolls by Octopus or contactless credit cards issued by local banks.
The department said the facility will save time otherwise spent on cash counting and receiving change.
Two sets of card reader panels will be installed at each manual toll booth to serve vehicles of different heights.
Cash payment will still be accepted.
Aberdeen Tunnel will be the second tunnel to implement the "stop-and-go" e-payment system after the Shing Mun Tunnels.

Modern Family star Julie Bowen has heaped praise on her TV daughter for the way she's handling the drama surrounding an allegedly abusive ex.
Sarah Hyland was granted a temporary restraining order against Matthew Prokop after claiming he threatened her life and terrorized her verbally and physically during the last four years of their relationship.
In court documents, Hyland reveals her TV mom Julie Bowen helped her end the relationship in May (14) after Prokop, who briefly appeared on the show, pinned the actress against a car during an argument about her outfit, grabbed her throat and spat four-letter expletives at her.
Bowen reportedly agreed to pay a visit to her TV daughter's home to help her "peacefully end the relationship" and urged Hyland to leave as Prokop allegedly lost his cool.
Now Bowen has opened up about the drama, revealing she was more than happy to come to her co-star's aid, stating, "The reality is I'm just nosey. I stick my nose in anything and everything. I love my kids, my fake kids and my real kids, so if anyone needs help I'm a soft touch."
And the actress admits Hyland is in a much better place now the drama is behind her and Prokop has been ordered to stay away.
Bowen tells Us Weekly, "Oh my God, Sarah is so great. She's an angel. Just love her. I love her.
"I personally made a million dating mistakes when I was young... but I made them when I was young, didn't get married, didn't have babies, and moved on. I think that's the time to make them.
"Your twenties are for really just effing (screwing) up... and Sarah is not even 25; she's already way ahead of where I ever was, so she's in great shape... You can rebound and do great and I did, and she's awesome and I'm awesome."

Yippee! My package finally came in. Can you guess what's in the box?
I'll give you a hint. There are two things inside, and they are tall, rectangular, and flat, haha. Aaand...the revealing picture is literally a couple of centimeters away. :)
Poster frames, woot, woot!
Boy oh boy have I been waiting a while on these suckers. These poster frames were necessary for the very first project idea that popped into my head when I started thinking about elements to add to our girls' bedroom. Kinda funny that it turned out to be one of the LAST projects I would get to do. If it weren't for saving money, I would've totally picked these things up in the store, but they were at least $7.00 cheaper by ordering them online and having them shipped site-to-store. I couldn't believe they wanted $10.00 (or maybe it was $12.00) a piece for these things in store, when you could get a set of two online for $13.00. Those super stores will getcha if you don't watch out. Too bad site-to-store runs as slooow aaaas molaaasses....
Anyway, I was over the moon that they arrived in time, so imagine my disappointment when I took them out of the box and saw this:
I seriously almost hyperventilated. Okay, not really, but I was a little ticked off. BOTH of the frames came out of the box looking this way. I took off the outer layer of plastic to investigate them more closely and I could feel the deep scratches on them. Ugh. I was really sad. But knowing it was now or never, I decided to just go ahead and see what would happen if I did the project with one of them, anyway.
And I got SUPER lucky! Turns out that there were TWO protective layers of plastic over the frames, and once I peeled off the second layer the scratches just disappeared. Hallelujah! Crises adverted.
First things first. I had to take the sides of the frames out back and give them the old Krylon treatment. :)
It was freezing cold and windy and horrible and nasty and the last thing I wanted to do was stand outside and spray paint something. After learning my lesson a couple of times, I did a very thin first coat and reluctantly left them alone for ten minutes to dry between coats.
Ah, much better. Those half-painted frames were making my skin crawl. I fed the girls' their respective lunches and waited until they were fast asleep before I brought in my pink rod thingys. I seriously don't know what to call them. You know what I'm talking about. :) It was starting to snow at this point, so they definitely needed to come in! (Further illustrating that I'm a lunatic for spray painting in January.)
To make my lovely wall art I busted out a new decorating favorite: wrapping paper. Oh, so many uses for this wonderful stuff. This princess print would be the background for Evelyn's hanging. I just cut it to size, so it looked like this:
And then I fetched the crowning glory. Can you guess what's in the box? (Again?) Haha.
Well, I'll show you what's in the box.
It's a baby Evelyn!
I ordered 16x20 posters of each of the girls to hang on either side of the window on the focal wall. I decided on this size because just before Christmas Walgreens released a $5 off coupon code exclusively for this sized poster. Hooray! I could have just gotten 16x20 poster frames for them, but the idea for this project was that they would take up lots of wall space on two very blank stretches of wall. So in the end I chose the standard size poster frame. (I found the princess wrapping paper at Dollar General for a buck!)
If you ever plan to have posters printed at Walgreens, be forewarned that most Walgreens stores do not offer this service. You'll be able to search their website and find the stores that can offer posters in your area. Where I live, the nearest store location that will print posters is in Fairview Heights, IL, with the next closest in Arnold, Mo. Otherwise, they can be shipped to your home!
So here is what the frame looks like with the sides put back on. Notice that the corners don't match up exactly. I had expected this from what I read in the reviews of this product. I plan to cover each of the corners with some flower embellishments so they don't look so ghetto fabulous. (Am I allowed to say "ghetto fabulous?" Well, I did.) Evelyn's hanging a little crooked, haha, so that will need to be fixed before we put her up on the wall. But she sure is cute. :)
I did the exact same thing with Grace's wall hanging, only I decided to use the same wrapping paper print that I backed the bookcase with. I'm really pleased with this decision, because the two pictures would have been a little too matchy for me otherwise.
Do you recognize this paper? :)
Oh, so cute. Nice lights. ;)
So after all the waiting, after ordering prints and going out of our way to pick them up, after searching for just the right wrapping paper patterns and spray painting in the freezing cold, I give you Miss Evelyn Lily and Miss Grace Violet:
Evelyn likes them. :)
And this picture totally messes with my head:
Whew! I can't believe I'm DONE with the big projects. But there are still a few more little details that I'll share with you all tomorrow, and then it'll be big reveal time on Monday. Eee, I can't wait! I've already done some furniture rearranging in the room because of outlet placement issues...but what was a problem at first turned out for the best. I LOVE the slight difference to the room, already.
Oh, and remind me to tell you the lamp story tomorrow, haha. And no, it's not the story about Evelyn destroying the table lamps I made. (Those are fixed, by the way!) No, it's about me being a total FOOL. You sure wouldn't want to miss that. :)

Shoulder Pain
Of all the joints in the body the shoulder is the most mobile and flexible, which makes it vulnerable to injury through over-use or trauma. The main component of the shoulder is the glenohumeral joint, which is where the top of the arm meets the rest of the body; often described as a golf ball sitting on a golf tee. The shoulder complex also includes the collar bone (to the front), shoulder blade (to the back), muscles, ligaments and tendons, nerves and blood vessels.
With so many components to the shoulder there are many injuries that can occur, some of which are detailed below. Symptoms can range from pain, aches, weakness, numbness, restricted movement and tingling.
- Frozen Shoulder: Inflammation in the glenohumeral joint. Often movement is greatly restricted and accompanied by severe pain.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of a tendon. Occurs with most shoulder injuries and pain tends to get worse during arm movement.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of a 'bursa' (liquid filled sac). Generally characterised by hot swelling, and associated/present with other shoulder conditions.
- Instability: When a shoulder is able to move outside of its natural limits, i.e. joint dislocation.
- Muscle Tear: When the trauma causes the muscle(s) associated with the joint to tear.
- Rotator cuff: This is a specific muscle tear, generally following a trauma and is extremely painful. A common sports complaint.
- Impingement Syndrome: Inflammation caused by a reduction of space within the shoulder joint itself. This is associated with osteoarthritic changes to the bones and is most often accompanied by joint instability.
Your chiropractor will take an in-depth case history which will include questions on the exact location of your pain, types of pain, exacerbating and relieving factors, referral pattern of pain, probable causes, family history and your past medical history. A full physical examination will be made involving: postural observation, spine and shoulder joint palpation, soft tissue assessment, orthopaedic and neurological tests. X-rays may be taken if deemed necessary. Once a diagnosis has been confirmed the Chiropractor will discuss specific treatment options with you.
This will most likely include a few stages involving spinal adjustments to the cervical and/or thoracic spine to reduce joint inflammation. Specific joint mobilisation of the shoulder to regain normal joint range of motion and soft tissue work to the tight/weak associated musculature which will not only reduce shoulder joint tension and minimize the chance of re-occurrence but also further reduce your pain levels. The combination of spinal adjusting, joint mobilisation and soft tissue therapy will allow your joints and muscles to relax and function properly and ultimately removing not only the pain but also the underlying cause. Your Chiropractor will also recommend work adaptations and/or rest, the use of ice packs to reduce inflammation and then once healing is underway heat and ice packs, rehabilitation exercises involving home stretching and strengthening exercises will be prescribed to improve strength, endurance and stability.
It is important to be patient with your care as it can take weeks and sometimes months of treatment to improve and correct. Continuity of care and attending your appointments is very important as the treatments work on retraining and strengthening the muscles and ligaments that support the joints. Put simply, each visit builds on the one before.

The vast majority of Oscarologists polled by Gold Derby – 18 out of 23 — believe that Melissa Leo ("The Fighter") will win Best Supporting Actress. However, there are some formidable pundits among the naysayers who believe Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit") will pull off an upset: Dave Karger (Entertainment Weekly), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), Kris Tapley (In Contention) and Anne Thompson (Indie Wire).
When upsets occur at the Oscars, they often wreak havoc in those supporting categories. Recent examples: Marcia Gay Harden ("Pollock," 2000), Kim Basinger ("L.A. Confidential," 1997), Juliette Binoche ("The English Patient," 1996) and Marisa Tomei ("My Cousin Vinny," 1992).
Melissa Leo may seem invincible after recently winning the Golden Globe and SAG Award, but beware: Lauren Bacall ("The Mirror Has Two Faces," 1996) won both prizes, too, then got skunked by Binoche at the Oscars.
Academy voters do like young women in this contest. Tatum O'Neal was 10 when she won for "Paper Moon" (1973); Anna Paquin was 11 when she won for "The Piano" (1993) — in an upset. Steinfeld just turned 14 years old.

Well they could use characters from the New Jedi Order era but still create original stories within an era that already has a good amount of material depicting what happens in that era. The Clone Wars animated series (R.I.P.) proved that you could create 5 years worth of entertaining stories within an era that was already done to death. This includes new possibilities such as new and original characters like Ahsoka Tano who's fate leaves many possibilities even one where she could very well live to see Luke Skywalker & Co. and maybe fight alongside the Rebel Alliance/New Jedi Order. The same also goes for The Force Unleashed, we still don't know what happens to Starkiller, Juno Eclipse and Rahm Kota.
Besides, JJ Abrams/Michael Arndt/Kathleen Kennedy can't just ignore all the pre-existing post ROTJ lore in the form of novels, video games, comics etc. They will have to acknowledge them at one point when further development occurs. If they completely retcon them, a good amount of fans who appreciate that material will create a large backlash. If they learnt anything from all the prequel haters, being hated by Star Wars fans will screw you up in the long-term(looking at you George Lucas!).
As for having the Sequel Trilogy revolving around Jacen falling to the dark side they don't have to go that route. The movies could start with Jacen Solo already as Darth Caedus along with Lumiya and the legion of Sith they are gathering as the bad guys of the movie. They could incorporate a twist that Jaina/Ben/Luke/Han/Leia etc don't know Jacen is Darth Caedus and they find out in the same manner as Luke finding out who Vader was in The Empire Strikes Back.

This past year was filled with excitement for ABQLA members, and it goes without saying, for its President. And it is with great pleasure that I reported on this at the Partnership meeting in Toronto. For those who are not familiar with the Partnership, it is a group that consists of the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and Executive Directors of every library association of every province, territory, and region of Canada. We meet twice per year to discuss national issues and do much valuable networking.
First, I was pleased to report that our 2011 one-day conference on mobility was a smashing success and that we were already way ahead in the planning of our 2012 conference to be held on Thursday May 3rd at The New Residence Hall at McGill University. This year's theme is Opening Up, Innovation and Access and it looks as promising and as timely as our mobility theme. I also reported that in 2012, ABQLA will be celebrating its 80th Annual Conference. This was cause for many positive comments from the members of the Partnership as was the distribution of our conference flyers prepared for the Congrès des milieux documentaires. And just between you and me, due to last year's success, I recommended that they sign-up early since space is limited.
In addition, I was happy to report that we sponsored a session at the 2011 Congrès des milieux documentaires. Cathy Dempsey's talk entitled Marketing Messages That Matter attracted some 50 participants. I explained that we were very pleased with this turnout because the Congrès is a gathering that mainly welcomes French-speaking delegates.
In December, the annual CODE fundraiser also gave us reason to celebrate. ABQLA teamed up with CLA's Montreal Network and SLA's Eastern Canada Chapter to organize the annual fundraiser in support of CODE, following a tradition that is now on its 28th year.
This time there was the added excitement of having the event at Phillips Lounge, a new downtown venue that provided a fantastic setting for the evening. This edition of the fundraiser was highly successful and the CODE committee is extremely grateful to everyone who supported the event.
All this renewed interest in our association got us thinking that it was time to refresh our look. The Communications Committee came up with a new logo approved by the Board that will reflect a more dynamic image of our association. The new logo is more aesthetically appealing for use on the website and on print material. And with this new logo a redesign of our website which is already underway became evident. So come and visit us at www.abqla.qc.ca in the next couple of weeks to discover our new look.
The Partnership had also asked us to reflect on our challenges as an association. Most of us shared one main challenge and that is concerning a succession plan for our associations' committees. How can we guarantee the survival of our associations mainly supported by volunteers? Perks to the job such as attendance at conferences like the OLA Super Conference and the CLA annual conference is certainly a major draw but other perks may need to be offered to help welcome new people and new ideas to our boards and committees.
This full day of discussion with the Partnership was followed by the annual OLA Super-Conference held in Toronto on February 1st to 4th. The theme this year was Innovation, Imagine. Innovate. Impact. The buzz words were The Future is Here. I will not attempt to summarize this totally thought-provoking 4 day conference but will invite you instead to visit the OLA website at www.accessola.org and download any session that might interest you.
As I am writing this last President's Message, I am wondering what else I could have wished for during my term as President and I have come to the conclusion that just seeing the renewed interest in our events and a fresh, new optimism from everyone I worked with this past year was extremely rewarding and that I could not have asked for more.

Members of the local community in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders came together throughout March 2008 to explore the legacy of the Waverley Line. The workshop was led by David Freer and Neil Wallace of O Street Graphic Design and resulted in the publication of a leaflet focusing on memories associated with the rail line.
^ The workshop group.
To set the scene, the workshop began with a talk on the history of the Waverley Line and its route. RCAHMS archive material, such as historic photographs of the railway, aerial photographs of the areas through which it passed, as well as books and pamphlets stimulated discussion and created a starting point for sharing experiences. RCAHMS staff involved in surveying the line prior to building work commencing also shared their specialist knowledge with the group.
Participants came from communities that will soon line the re-established train route. The workshop encouraged the group to share memories of the railway line before it was closed in 1969, to discuss the significance of the rail route at that time and to reflect on the impact it made to the local area and their communities.
^ Some of the sources of inspiration used in the workshop.
RCAHMS staff member >
and one of the participants examine archive images.
For 120 years, the Waverley Line connected isolated communities throughout the Scottish Borders. It was operated by the North British Railway and ran from Edinburgh to Carlisle. The section from Edinburgh to Hawick was built between 1847-49, with the line extended to Carlisle in 1862.
The railway linked the great woollen towns of Galashiels and Hawick to the markets in Edinburgh and to the south. The northern end of the line was heavily used by the coal industry, with several collieries located close to the route, such as Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange.

During the 1960s, the British Government attempted to reduce the cost of running the railways. This, together with an increase in the demand for road transport, resulted in the closure of the Waverley Line in January 1969, despite much protestation. Its closure left the Borders area without an active railway station within its boundary.
There is a future for the route once again however, through the Waverley Railway Project, which began in 2002 with the aim to re-establish a rail link from Edinburgh to Tweedbank as a commuter service. The new line, which is planned to open around 2012, will have new stations at Shawfair, Eskbank, Newtongrange, Gorebridge, Stow, Galashiels and Tweedbank. It is intended that re-instating the line will provide much needed public transport links in the area.
^ An oblique aerial view centred on Redbridge railway viaduct, taken by RCAHMS in 2007. DP025655
As well as finding out more about the history of the Waverley Line and the survey and recording work RCAHMS is undertaking in advance of construction, much of the workshop focused on noting down the participants memories of the line. Time was dedicated during each session to writing, with memories recorded both as a group and individually.
The personal recollections revealed funny, interesting and poignant stories.
"We used to sleep in the luggage rack – get up and climb into it."
"I also remember the sound of the trains struggling to Tynehead from Waverley, an extra engine shoved the train over Watershed, and the train clattered down Gala water to Gala."
"The mills chartered trains for workers' excursions in the trade holidays."
"We took the Pullman train (to London) from Galashiels to Melrose to get home on a Saturday night (if you missed the train you walked the line home)."
< Putting their memories on paper, ready to be included in the leaflet.
"Guard used to climb on to the guards van to pick apples from wild apple tree at Belses."
"There were great noises: distinctive puff of engines, blast of steam building up; clack of wheels on rails."
"Smoke billowed past the windows, there were spouts of soot, as a result the seats were manky from the smoke!"
"The local doctor told the story that if you need to go to hospital in Edinburgh a horse drawn ambulance collected the patient from the local hospital. Hawick station was telephoned to take out two rows of seats to put the stretcher in. Doctor said if you survived the journey to the hospital you probably weren't that ill!"
During the workshop, the graphic designers and the group worked together to create the leaflet. The resulting 'Waverley Route Memories' leaflet captured some of the reflections and stories written by the group, creating a strong piece of graphic journalism.
No level of design experience was required by the group at the outset, just enthusiasm to take part. Over the course of the workshop, participants were provided with an easy introduction to basic graphic design, including logo, poster and map development.
To gather the content together for the leaflet, the group explored the RCAHMS archive material, as well as personal photographs brought in by one of the participants. Some of the best images were selected for inclusion, creating a collage of memories.
The participants all actively contributed to the publication's design, with everyone investigating their own ideas for the leaflet's layout. The graphic designers ensured that the final design incorporated these suggestions. The printed leaflets will be distributed around the local communities for the public to read and enjoy.

What are Affirmative Action compliance services?
Minneapolis, MN business litigation attorney, Ryan Olson, explains the concept of Affirmative Action compliance services.
Email: [email protected]
Phone: (612) 373-8514
Affirmative action compliant services I throw them into five general buckets. The first bucket being that you have general obligations that a covered contractor has to comply with. Second, and this is not for all contractors but some contractors have to have a written affirmative action program so that's kind of the second bucket. Thirdly, we certainly help contractors who have to have them implement those plans. No matter how good of a written program you have if it's not implemented it doesn't do you any good. Fourth, we assist _____ contractors with compliance reviews or more causally known as an AUT. We help contractors with those and then, lastly, the Affirmative Action compliance services tale generally also includes like reporting obligations and our assistance in counsel with clients with those reporting obligations, which vary depending on whether it's a federal requirement or a state requirement.

Okay, here are a few important tips and answers to common IELTS Speaking questions.
IELTS Speaking Test is not a test of content or knowledge. It is a test of your language ability. Students are often worried about the quality of their ideas. Do not worry whether your answer is relevant or not as long as it is delivered in correct English.
Moreover, it is not a test of how accurately and truthfully you give an answer. In other words, you can LIE. Just make sure you do not make any grammar mistake or lose fluency while thinking of something creative.
Do not repeat your statement and/ or words. "I believe the sports are important because ….. important because …….". No. You'll lose score for that. Even if you've said something wrong, do not try to correct it. Doing so will unnecessarily create stress and will consume energy that you could have used in delivering the right answer (right = correct English).
Should I repeat the question statement? Well, try not to. Repeating the question statement is often construed as the candidate's inability to present an answer in her own words. Practice speaking in your own language. Develop your vocabulary.
Speaking English is not meant for the IELTS class only. I advise students to speak on various common topics at home. Observe the things around you closely – family, technology, neighbors, city, television, newspaper, furniture, clothes, jewelry, books, college, job. The list is endless.
Record your voice and you can share it with me. I'll be happy to offer some feedback. My WhatsApp number is +91 9888922203.
The more you practice speaking on these topics, the better will be your command over the language. This will not only give you greater firepower to extend your answers, but also develop the ability to talk about likes, dislikes, habits, and opinions.
Best wishes for your endeavor!

What a fun day it was! Lysia from Sassilu, Mardi from Little Luv, Jo from Sac du Jour, and I all had some new stock photos taken a few weeks ago on the same day by the very clever (and patient!) Cath Leo from Cath Leo Photography. Given the mountains of stock we (or do I mean I?) had brought we all did very well getting through so much in the time we had. The photos are great, and hopefully soon some new ones will be gracing my website. Thanks again to Mardi for the use of her house as standby studio and the absolutely delicious fennel and leek tart. I'm planning on making this tart later today, so you never know, you may see it blogged here! I'm feeling a little ready for a Masterchef challenge all of my own!
The clothesline, once again in use. This time with my drawstring bags. Mental note to self: must make more for my OWN children.
Red, white and blue bunting. The best seller. Another mental note to self: Get more cut out in readiness for Mathilda's...
Yep, love my clothesline!

Ch... Stupid night. Hate those bastard yellow lights that shower everything in that pale, piss colored hue. It's what gives them their ability to survive here. That damn light.
Just sitting at my house, eating some friggin' takeout and I hear this horrible groaning sound, like someone pushing over a tree. You know, that achy, moany sound that you hear right before it falls. That's when it started. Those damn coffins started popping up all over town, slithering out of the ground like some cement serpent looking for food.
At first I just thought it was one of those bomb tests at the nearby airbase, the rumbling I mean. I really didn't think of the groaning, I was daydreaming, nibbling a bit at my pizza, watching a bit o' TV. But I digress. Soon after the rumbling stopped, is when all hell broke loose. People shouting, screaming, a few gunshots, and then silence...
I sat there a moment, trying to strain myself to hear another sound, even the TV seemed to go quiet. A few minutes went by and again, nothing. What had I heard? Some idiot pilot huck a bomb at the wrong area? What about the gunshots? This neighborhood wasn't known for violence of any kind... What the hell was going on?

Welcome to a page of various media. Featured heavily are documentaries produced for ABC Radio National, plus a video scattered here and there.
Radio Documentaries –
Just click on the titles below to listen.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go for a drive in your car, or pop into the corner shop for a loaf of bread, naked? For nudists to be naked is to be free and natural but when you want to do it in company – and many nudists seem to be quite sociable – you want to be sure it's in a supportive environment.
In this program producer Kevin Klehr goes "Swimming with Nudists" and invites listeners to grab a towel and learn about the extraordinary rules nudists must abide by in their quest to feel free. Whether nude bushwalking, playing frisbee or attending an inner-city dinner party, you must never forget the Code of the Nudist.
This program won a Silver Medal at the New York Radio Festival in 2002.
Transient Tales (Video below accompanies this radio documentary)
Tonight, while many of us are tucked snugly in our beds, countless numbers will be seeking refuge under a car, a railway station bench, or a public park. These are the people with no fixed address, learning to live on the streets.
In this program we hear tales from the homeless. Ex-military men explain how they ended up without shelter, while another individual reveals that his family have no idea that he's dropped out of the rental market.
Jhyimy makes the cliffs of Bondi his home. He shares his stories of surviving without charity. We hear how he feeds himself and his seagull companions, and why a set of golf clubs can be the most important possession in the world.
Everyone deals with the loss of a loved one differently. But how do funeral directors deal with our grief? And what kind of impact does the constant reminder of death have on their lives?
We spend time with people who've made death their business to find out how they first got involved with this particular line of work and what the hardest part of the job is.
Mitzi Gets Married (Video below accompanies this radio documentary)
After twenty years drag queen Mitzi Macintosh is about to hang up her heels. Her glamorous frocks and outrageous personality have delighted audiences in Sydney's gay venues.
Her alter ego, Graeme, has married his Welsh partner, Neil. Like most couples they share a house, two dogs and a close circle of friends but they're about to trade their Sydney lifestyle for a cooler climate. They're moving to London, leaving Mitzi behind.
Graeme shares both his make-up tips and the secret to putting on a good drag show.
Tears Before Bedtime (Warning – Strong Adult Themes)
For centuries, people have sought sexual expression through bondage, discipline, and sadomasochism. And in every city and town today, you can find (albeit behind closed doors) people turning pain into pleasure, inflicting corporal punishment on a willing victim, or even just being tied up in a room for hours on end.
Some call it recreation, while others regard it as weird and deviant. This feature, clad in black leather, enters the world of Masters and Mistresses, Submissives and Slaves.
This program won a Gold Medal at the New York Radio Festival in 2005.
The Australian Catholic University is the first local institution to implement the ideas of Earl Shorris, an American who believes in teaching the humanities to the poor. He said that by teaching the disadvantaged literature and art, you would help move them from their journey of poverty.
We join lecturer Michael Griffith and director John Gibson as they introduce their students to the Michael Gow play, Away. This is the final stage of a literature course, and they have to perform a rehearsed reading of the play in order to pass.
Our adult students talk about their lives and share their poetry, as we eavesdrop on their journey to discover the inner thespian.
Several times a year North Melbourne Town Hall is spruced up in coloured lights and disco balls, ready for a night of entertainment. People have marked their social calendars with the words 'Club Wild Dance Party', and anticipate an evening of watching performers, grooving to DJs, singing along, and maybe shaking about in their wheelchairs.
For people living with disabilities this is a night away from feeling different, there is no need to explain why someone has a walking cane or may have difficulty seeing. Once the music begins everyone is dancing, without limitations.
Among the live entertainers are members from this community, specially trained for this night of nights. We visit the initial performance workshop, where we meet three colourful characters who take us into their private world, then onto the stage.
Erin has lost her peripheral vision, and with her parents, shares with us the importance of 'travel training'. Kevin and his wife have bi-polar disorder and talk about life in a one-room bedsit, in a home for people with special needs. Almost-blind Phil tells of dealing with his independence, living alone in his own house.
We revisit the women's movement of the 1970s with self-confessed feminist Dorothy.
As a teenager, Dorothy becomes pregnant and endures a backyard abortion. Many years later, while married with two children, she decides there must be more to life and begins to volunteer at Elsie Women's Refuge and then to provide abortion counselling to others.
In today's program, Dorothy recounts her feelings of awkwardness and excitement within the women's movement and its effects on her family.
Love On The Menu
A fun short that I entered into Tropfest many years ago. Sadly it didn't make the final selection. Please excuse the absence of music, but a lesser video quality version with music added lives here.

The Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary is located some 162 km from Pune.The Phansad Wildlife sanctuary is located in Murud and Roha talukas of Raigad District. It is located with the coastal stretch of Arabian sea.
Forests of the Sanctuary were earlier Hunting Reserve of the erstwhile Janjira State and were famous for the wildlife that they sustained.Prior to 1948,this sanctury was the game sanctury and well protected by Nawab of Janjira. Due to excessive hunting and other indiscriminate use of the forests now show signs of degradation. Situated on low hills of the Malabar Coast, west of the north Sahyadri with the uniqueness of vegetation normally associated with high altitude and inland areas, it ranks high among biodiversity hotspots of the Western Ghats ecosystem, in terms of number of moist zone species regionally endangered and endemic to the Western Ghat. It was created in 1986 to preserve some of the coastal woodland ecosystem of the Western Ghats and consists of 6979 hectares of forest, grasslands and wetlands.
The forests types in the sanctuary are southern moist bearing forests, southern moist mixed deciduous forests and Riparian fringing forests. The area has more than 700 plants species. The floral diversity is abundant in the sanctuary. The name of Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary is taken from the large number of Garcinia Talbotii trees. There are four main trails through the sanctuary that take in the main waterholes, Gunyacha Maal, Chikhalgaan and Phansadgaan, that are some of the best places to see wildlife. The "Sacred Groves" are located near Supegaon. Pockets of open grassland, called mals, occur throughout the sanctuary.
I was excited about wild life, espcially birds and indian wild animals. We have gone through night life of sanctury. also had walk through surprising lake in middle of sanctury.
Entire forest area grown with paradise of birding. Must visit once !!
For food and residencial ammenities have to contact local people of forest area.

All this month, I'll be writing drabbles about various fandoms (Buffy, Preacher, Star Trek, Marvel, etc), as close to 100 words as possible.
In honor of today being JoCo Day, Drabble the First is Jonathan Coulton-themed.
His lower lip curled slightly, giving his mustache a tiny roller coaster ride as beeps and boops oozed out from the keyboard. "But my bear claws love bearclaws, and–wait. I'm not sure about this key."
"Try jumping a step," Christine's voice floated from the next room. "What's this one about?"
"A bear wakes up late and finds the doughnut shop sold all his favorite doughnuts." He marked something with a pencil in the worn, dog-eared notebook next to him.
"Where does the bear keep its wallet?", she asked.
Jonathan blinked at his coffee mug, surprised. "I…may need another verse."

Daylight Saving Time brings fatigue, maybe heart attacks
The clocks are about to play a nasty trick on us again with Daylight Saving Time
The annual tradition of losing an hour's sleep in the spring first appeared during the First World War as a money-saving measure, but these days the time-shift seems to cost us in health.
A 2008 Swedish study found a higher incidence of heart attacks in the first three workdays after the clocks 'spring forward.'
Researchers chalked it up to a lack of sleep, and did find a similar decrease in the number of heart attacks when clocks 'fall back' later in the year.
There's also a theory about drivers and pedestrians who have lost an hour of sleep creating a potentially-dangerous combination of sleepy people behind the wheel and those on foot being not as sharp as they might normally be.
However, Dr. John Vavrik, a psychologist with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, says that daylight saving time doesn't appear to be as big a factor in crashes as it used to be.
"The good news is that we're seeing less and less of an impact of the DST change. Maybe people are getting the message, or maybe we're just sleep-deprived all the time and so the DST doesn't seem to be making a huge difference anymore."
The time change can also create confusion between provinces that do adopt the convention, and those that don't. People in Saskatchewan stay on standard time year-round.
Some say the best advice for reducing time-shift fatigue overnight is to exercise, lay off the caffeine before bed, go to bed at a regular time and put down the smartphone.
Another good piece of advice? Set the clocks ahead on Saturday night.

Out of Aggravation Came Promise
I woke up this morning at 7am on the dot, mostly because my alarm told me to. It usually rings at 6:30 but apparently I hit the snooze button and went back to sleep, which I don't remember doing.
Jumping up, I woke Peanut who then bounced out of bed saying, "I'm going to get dressed downstairs." Then he called from the closet, "Mom, what kind of temperature is it today?" When he heard my response of "tshirt and shorts," I heard a Woohoo then clomps down the stairs as he descended. It's his new routine to go hang out with my mom, watch Arthur and get dressed while she heats up Ego Mini's for him. He loves the dunk appeal.
At 7:30 we left the house to pick up Kazu. He loves going for rides and walks so that's quickly becoming one way to get through to him and get him socialized. I gave him a bath last Saturday which he didn't particularly like, but afterwards I could tell did him a world of good in the physical therapy sense. He walks hunched and pulls something terrible though, as if always expecting the worst. Think of cops barging into a house, guns drawn, tag-teaming corners and large empty rooms; that's the same kind of cautious behavior Kazu exhibits all the time. I know that if I were to ever accidently let go of the leash, he'd be long gone with no hopes of a return.
Anyway, I had to get gas after I got Kazu, but that wasn't the problem. It's Memorial Day weekend and everyone and their sister is out on the roads. Yesterday I sat in traffic for 25 min while people rubbernecked and this morning I sat in traffic for 15 min for a reason I didn't get to see. That might not seem like a long time to those of you accustomed to DC-like traffic, but it's a long time when you don't have the time to give.
So I got to Prevent a Litter at 8:45 instead of 8:30, dropped Kazu off and explained how not cat-friendly he is (to the point that we know he'll kill them in one snap) and that he's shy, but not the biting kind of shy. The guy is wonderful; he even gave me 2 kisses on the way in and started acting puppyish (he's only 2) which made me very happy. Heck, he even kissed Peanut's hand just a little which made Peanut very happy.
I made appointments for the 3 kittens we now have and for Nascar's kittens and Casper. Then I got to leave.
We got in the car; I had 5 min to get Peanut to school on time. We made it considering his school is literally 2 blocks behind Prevent a Litter but sometimes traffic in Carytown can be a bit much, even that early in the morning.
I dropped Peanut off in the hallway that led to his class then walked into the cafeteria to give the lunch lady some money for his breakfast/lunches. Just as she saw me she said, "You're baby is out of money."
She laughed when I pulled out a check for $20.00 courtesy of my mom who sometimes helps me with money for Peanut since damn, I just don't have much. (But not for long!)
Then I hauled ass to my parking spot for work, walked the 6 blocks or so to the bus and finally arrived here at 9:40am.
So yeah, it was a harried morning but I got to recieve kisses from Kazu and see him act puppyish if even just for a second.
That made the whole morning worth it for me. :)

Two New Vice Principals for Mira Costa
Jun 05, 2017 09:34AM ● Published by Jeanne Fratello
Jessica Bledsoe, left, and Tara Grings
Grings, appointed by the MBUSD board on May 17, filled the vacancy created by the departure of Ms. Kristin Wolberg. Bledsoe will fill the vacancy created when Karina Gerger was nominated as the new principal of Pennekamp Elementary School.
Grings has been teaching since 2006 in both middle school and high school. She has been an English teacher, choral director, and musical theater teacher in the Los Angeles Unified and Hawthorne School Districts. She has been working with UCLA Center X working on culturally responsive teaching and schoolwide multi-cultural programs. She also has the unusual claim to fame of having sung the national anthem at Dodger Stadium.
Bledsoe has been a science teacher at Mira Costa High School since 2010. She has served as department chair of that department since 2011. She has been leading the science department's transition to the Next Generation Science Standards. Bledsoe has also been a key leader on Mira Costa's Social Emotional Wellness Committee, charged with helping students to reduce stress and lead more balanced lives at Mira Costa. She has been teaching a highly innovative and hands on biotechnology course at Costa.
Dr. Ben Dale, principal at Mira Costa High School, said, "We are bringing in two outstanding leaders in Tara Grings and Jessica Bledsoe. Tara has an infectious energy and enthusiasm that lifts everyone around her. Her smart and dedicated approach to leadership creates safe learning spaces for all students. Jessica is a student-centered leader. She has compassion for students and staff while holding them to a high standard. Her passion for schools is outstanding."
"I am proud to be named the newest vice principal of Mira Costa High School," said Bledsoe. "For the past six years I have built meaningful and lasting relationships with teachers, counselors, parents, administration, and students. This experience has afforded me a unique perspective and I feel well equipped to perform at a high level beginning on day one."
Grings said, "Working at Mira Costa is a dream come true for me. Here, a team of talented students, educators, parents, and community members work together to uphold Costa's great history. I am so excited to be part of that legacy, and humbled to serve the future leaders of tomorrow. Go Mustangs!"
Mr. Brian Lucas, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources noted that there was a strong applicant pool, with over 70 applicants from across the state. "Ms. Bledsoe and Ms. Grings impressed a diverse panel of teachers, staff, parents, and administrators, and their references are incredibly strong. I look forward to bringing these two leaders onto our management team," he said.
Grings' employment with MBUSD was approved at the May 17 school board meeting. Bledsoe's approval will be on June 7 regular board meeting agenda.

Data from Generator Research, an analyst group, suggests that Apple will pass the current leader - Nokia - in smartphone share in 2013.
The research company predicts that Nokia's share will halve from 40% today (due chiefly to the N95) to 20% in 2013. iPhones are predicted to hit 33% of the market at the same time.
That's not quite as big a deal as you might think - this is only smartphone share, lower-end handsets are still dominated by Nokia. Also, the research company displays Apple's logo proudly on its website under "customers", so you can guess who's funding the survey.
However, it's worth asking the question - has Nokia lost it? The iPhone is universally praised by everyone, with the exception of Nokia's UK general manager, Mark Loughran, who's on record as saying:
"The new iPhone is an evolution rather than a revolution and for people trying to decide whether to get a Nokia N97 or an iPhone, it comes down to a decision on performance and value for money".
"The new iPhone seems to have the same design and colour,
upgrading from a sub-standard two-megapixel camera to a still low 3.2-megapixel camera, and is probably a disappointment for many people given the high tariff and lifetime ownership costs".
Pocket-lint's review found the company's flagship device - the N97 - lacking. Despite packing excellent specs, the software simply wasn't good enough. However, Nokia's 5800 seems to be doing rather well in the lower end of the market, and it has plenty of other smartphones too.
The iPhone's one-handset-fits-all approach can only gain so many fans. A diverse portfolio of devices should, in theory, help Nokia hold onto market share that the iPhone - if it continues in its current philosophy - shouldn't be able to match.
One thing's for certain, the iPhone has proved disruptive, and as a result it's the standard bearer for the current smartphone generation. How that will evolve remains to be seen. For now, we're placing no bets.

These gospel musicals were written by Tony Goy during the mid nineties where they were used in for Sunday Services at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. The original musicals were produced and directed by Cindy Hope Ryan (who now resides in Ireland)
Recently the backtracks of the Songs were all redone, and extra songs have been written. Examples of this is Esthers 'You can make a difference' to give an overall theme to the Esther musical and God of Israel for Ruth which increases the moment of her salvation (which can be assumed from scripture)
Although there is nothing particularly wrong with charging for Christian Media, the heart of christianmusicals.co.za is to assist the global church in having free access to christian resources so as to further the gospel. We believe that we are on a united purpose to advance Gods Kingdom and the Lordship of Jesus on the earth. That if we are always trying to find ways of making money that we can lose the very heart of that for which Christ chose to die.
The author has found that musicals are not only good evangelical and teaching tools, they create unity and a feeling of belonging in the actors. Memories of past productions live for a long time in the hearts of the participants. Biblical stories are presented in a way that will encourage the reading of the word, and the songs teach great truths that hopefully will remain in the minds of the listeners.
We hope that you will enjoy using these tools in your youth group.
