In this clip, Mia Buljan works with her students on a number talk, using a mental math approach to multiplying a two-digit number and a one-digit number. She encourages her students to identify regularity among the various approaches identified, and guides them toward identifying the commutative property.
3rd grade math - interpreting multiplication & division
Mia Buljan, Glassbrook Elementary School, Hayward Unified School District, Hayward, California
Lesson Part 1c
MIA BULJAN: Um, girl, boy, I need a girl. Enmy, what did you do?
STUDENT: I counted by fives.
MIA BULJAN: Oh, tell me a little bit about that.
STUDENT: So I counted, I counted by fives like 5...
MIA BULJAN: How many times did you count by 5?
STUDENT: Fourteen.
MIA BULJAN: Fourteen times? Boys and girls if we look at her picture do we see fourteen 5s?
STUDENT: Yes. That's what I did.
MIA BULJAN: Do we see fourteen 5s or do we see five 14s?
STUDENT: Five 14s.
MIA BULJAN: So Enmy, how did you know that you could also do fourteen 5s instead?
STUDENT: Because...maybe it was easier.
MIA BULJAN: So it was easier to count by fives. So you made your problem easier, but does anybody remember the name of the thing in math that lets us switch it around like that?
STUDENT: You can add the 5 and the 5 to make it a double.
MIA BULJAN: Okay. So you're talking about a strategy, I'm talking about an idea. Hold on one second Monique I want to hear about that. Uh-huh?
STUDENT: I kind of did the same thing.
MIA BULJAN: Okay but how did you know you could do that?
STUDENT: Because you could just say like...you could count it by 5s?
MIA BULJAN: Mm hmm. I understand your strategy but I'm wondering how did you know that you could also think of it like this? This is what you did, you did 14 groups of 5.
STUDENT: All the same answer.
MIA BULJAN: It is going to be the same answer but what's that thing in math that gives us the same answer? Andrea. We have it for addition too.
STUDENT: The...that you can, you can do, you can do addition and multiplication in like different ways and switch them.
MIA BULJAN: And switch them. Do we have to do them in order when we're adding and multiplying?
STUDENT: No.
MIA BULJAN: No. Can we switch them around in subtraction? Can we just switch it in subtraction?
STUDENT: No.
MIA BULJAN: Okay, so subtraction does not have this but multiplication and addition do have this. Do you remember the math name for it?
STUDENT: Um...
MIA BULJAN: You're going to kick yourself when I write it. You want to hear it? Commu...
STUDENT: Commutative.
MIA BULJAN: Commutative, that's right. The commutative property of multiplication says if it's easier for me to get the answer, once we understand what it's saying, if it's easier for me, I can do it in any order.
MIA BULJAN: Rogelio, how many people counted by fives to solve this problem? Excellent. Enmy, what did that look like for you? Tell me what you did. Chase you're going to have to put that away sweetheart, at your desk, not in your pocket, at your desk. Please don't let me see that again, okay? Go ahead.
MIA BULJAN: Count with her.
STUDENT: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, right there.
MIA BULJAN: How did you know to stop? Who said right there and how did you know to stop?
STUDENT: Because I waited until you get to 14.
MIA BULJAN: Were you counting on your fingers like 5, 10, 15?
MIA BULJAN: 35, 40... (laughs)
MIA BULJAN: Count it out loud so we can hear her. Listen to her count. Do it again.
STUDENT: Uh, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
MIA BULJAN: It's probably a parent. Sorry, hold on.
MIA BULJAN: Could you hear her counting?
STUDENT: No.
MIA BULJAN: Okay. Enmy, nice and loud. But listen, listen. Shhh. What? No. Nice and loud.
MIA BULJAN: Hold on. Did anybody hear her make a mistake in her counting?
STUDENT: Yes, yes, yes.
MIA BULJAN: And she heard it too. So everybody let's count together again.
MIA BULJAN: And did it work out that time?
STUDENT: Yes.
MIA BULJAN: I had collected the answers "69," "70," "56," and "65" for the answers to the problem I presented (5 x14). Enmy is the third student I call on to share her strategy. More than half my students used her strategy to solve the problem. Sometimes I feel like our education system is so obsessed with the "basic facts" that we miss opportunities to develop our students' conceptual understandings. Just because 5 x 14 and 14 x 5 make the same product does not mean that they are the same thing. I want to focus their [the students'] discussion on the math property that lets us switch our factors around (commutative), and I want to make sure that I'm modeling the repeated addition and skip counting for counting by fives so they can visually see how the two things (5 x 14 and 14 x 5) can be compared and contrasted.
Because so many of my students used this strategy, I wanted to focus on the discussion and the practices of being precise and critiquing the arguments of others.
In order to help the students situate their understanding of the commutative property, I am using the Sociomathematical Norm of continuing to ask questions until it makes sense. I first ask how she knows she can do 14 groups of 5 instead of 5 groups of 14, and it takes the whole group to articulate the idea that "it can be switched" or turned around, which I name as commutative. We immediately connect this word to how the commutative property works with addition and how it doesn't work with subtraction.
When the discussion turns toward why we use the commutative property, I set it in the context of CCMP 2 [Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Standard for Mathematical Practice 2, Reason abstractly and quantitatively]. In other words, once we understand the problem, and contextualize it, we can step out of the context and use any number of strategies to solve for an answer before we step back into the context and see if our answer makes sense. Even though 14 groups of 5 doesn't match the context we set with Marlene's visualization of five equal groups of 14, we can articulate, with precision, what properties of the mathematics let us solve it this way.
I ask Enmy about how she knows when to stop counting by fives, and while I'm recording the skip counting on the poster we discuss how she kept track of the number of fives she had used on her fingers. It may seem odd that I appear to be forcing Enmy to count by fives in front of the whole class when she is struggling with it. However, it's a normal part of the class culture to think about our math out loud, to want to prove and understand; so it's not so odd for my students to struggle in front of each other. We embrace and applaud that struggle as part of learning. By having her count the fives out loud, I'm asking the rest of the class to listen to Enmy and see if they understand her and if they agree with her. Everybody heard the mistake, including Enmy, when we slowed down and listened to her count. The support comes after we identify the problem, when we all count by fives chorally.

I just want to start off by saying that I want to be as honest as possible. I've gone through a lot, as everyone does, and I really do just want to be honest. SO HERE I GO.
I've lost 40lbs, I gained 15, and I just lost another 10, leaving me at a total of 35lbs lost.
Let me start forrealzies at 2008, me at 20 years old:
Aside from my obvious love of Taylor Swift & Katy Perry I was a LOT smaller than I am today. Went out going to a lot of cool kid clubs and had fun without drinking and being sober was actually preferred. Then I turned 21 and it actually wasn't so bad, here's a picture of me in 2009 on the way to a Halloween party
Still a bit chubby, I noticed I was getting a bit bigger but it didn't really bother me. I felt like I could walk around just fine, keep up with my friends whether it was doing cool kid clubbing or staying up all night doing what cool kids do. It wasn't until 2010 that things actually got out of hand so0o0o0o0o…
I started to party and drink a LOT. I gained 50 lbs in 2010 and it wasn't pretty. I was already pretty heavy but I started to notice a lot of changes in my body and the way I felt. My moods were different, I always felt like I was out of energy, and I just didn't care. I have no one else to blame but myself. I will never blame anyone but myself.
This is what my meals would look like from Burger King for example:
1. 2 double cheeseburgers (or a double whopper)
2. large fries
3. onion rings
4. 2 orders of chicken tenders
5. large vanilla milkshake
I don't know why, but I never thought about the consequences. Not once.
I would also order a venti white chocolate mocha with an extra 2 shots, and passion tea lemonade sweetened just because I could.
Now that I think about it, by the summer I looked pretty different. I don't think it took me an entire year to gain that 50lbs, and I actually noticed from the pictures I'm going to show you that I think I weighed more than I thought I did. I'm pretty sure I weighed more than I thought. Here's some pictures of me in 2010:
Those were all taken at "flattering angles." Even the one where I'm wearing a black and flowery dress. This is where I started to notice something was off. I was doing some auditions back then and I actually found them recently… this is at a "normal" angle.
Jumping ahead to today, I felt sick watching myself like this. I remembered how I felt and hearing how I sounded (which was sick.. literally I sounded like I was sick for most of that year) It was really hard to watch myself in those videos and it made me feel so crappy.
In 2010, I started to feel my heart racing, I noticed it hurt to walk sometimes, I felt like I couldn't breathe and a lot of the time I would stay up very late at night thinking I wasn't going to wake up the next morning. I would leave the lights on because just in case someone walked in and I had died or something bad happened, they would see me. I didn't want to be alone, and he doesn't know this, but I would sometimes sit next to my brother while he slept and his presence helped ease my anxiety. I had gone in and out of the emergency room at least 5 times that year. I always felt like I was going to have a heart attack. When I finally saw my doctor, she told me that I was feeling anxiety. I never felt anxiety, let alone knew how it felt, and I never knew what a panic attack was, but I sure felt like I was going to die.
This was a huge wake up call.
On one of my trips with just me and Ryan in December 2010, I noticed that my heart was doing this weird thumpy thing just from walking around and having a couple of drinks. I thought I was just being paranoid, but turns out I was having heart palpitations. Apparently it's not alarming with every case BUT it was alarming to me. Why the hell was my heart pumping like this?? With everything I was feeling anything that seemed off in my body I got scared QUICK. I was so scared that I didn't drink the entire trip (two days in LA and a stop off in Vegas) and anything I ate was "minimal" I went from being like LA LA LA I'm gonna eat everything to buying apple slices instead of chips and just getting ONE thing from any restaurant we went to.
I unofficially changed the way I ate by changing things here and there but after about two weeks I stepped on a scale for the first time in months (before the weight gain so maybe it was almost a year) and I saw that I had gained 50 lbs. I never thought to think I gained more than 50 lbs until recently because there were still those two weeks where I had changed the way I ate but wasn't keeping any record of it. I saw the number on the scale and I cried. I refuse to say what the scale said because I'm not at my goal yet. WHEN I REACH MY GOAL, YOU'LL KNOW THAT PART OF THE TRUTH. Before anyone starts making assumptions, YES I am not comfortable with saying how much I weighed SO SHUT IT WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT. Hahaha, I know weight is just a number… but it's not sometimes. To me it's a reminder of how I let myself go down that road and it honestly makes me uncomfortable.
ANYWAY, after seeing my "starting" weight, I decided to cut the following things out cold turkey:
1. Alcohol/going out to bars
2. Fast food
3. Coffee/Caffeine in general
4. Hot Cheetos/chips but I mostly ate Hot Cheetos and LOVE IT STILL OMG.
5. Eating at restaurants
6. Processed foods
7. Sweets (wasn't really a big sweets fan so that was easy)
8. High sodium crap
I ate the following things everyday and this is when my cooking sKyLLz got better:
1. Salmon with rice and broccoli
2. Low sodium teriyaki chicken with rice and broccoli
3. Baked potato with chicken breasts
4. Suh-LADS
I never added salt or butter to anything. I didn't know that I could have tasty foods without it being unhealthy. All of this was new to me. While I would eat my food, I remember paying very close attention to my heartbeat. I know now that when you try to pay attention to your heartbeat/look at a heart rate monitor at a doctor's office, that it'll go up and you'll panic if you're like me LOL.
I also think this is around the time I started to eat spinach and chose it over lettuce in my salads. Lettuce can be so gross sometimes… My salads consisted of spinach, carrots, chicken, ranch dressing, croutons, and cheese. I have since then taken out the ranch and if I feel like I actually *need* dressing, it's a tiny bit of Caesar. I don't like the taste of lemon in salads. It's not happening…. k I'll try it someday.
After a month or two, I started having some "normalish" food again (in moderation) and by March 2011 I looked like this:
I think within that time period I had already gone down 25lbs. I already looked healthier. First picture I had a few drinks but.. it was my friend's birthday LOL. Still a big change though! I went from drinking almost every weekend for funzies to none for 3 months. I would say I drank maybe 4-5 times through all of 2011. I started to notice that it wasn't hard for me to breathe and that I could walk around without feeling all heart palpitation-y and I'm pretty sure somewhere in all of this I was exercising.
Gym stuff is all a blur to me lol! I think this is around the time I did Zumba for the one and ONLY time. In high school, I did hip hop for a year and one of my friends from back in the day taught me hula and I even joined her halau for a bit so when I went in to do Zumba I went in FULL FORCE because I thought I could handle it because I loved to dance. BIG MISTAKE, ME! After 30 minutes, I felt like I couldn't breathe and I got so anxious that I had to step out. Jumping is not my friend. I was so proud of myself for trying, but so disappointed that I couldn't last. I can be a bit of a perfectionist sometimes and I do think about "ALL or NOTHING" quite a bit, but I had to remind myself back then that I hadn't been active for so long that I needed to take it SLOW. I can also be very impatient so taking things slow was hard.
My weight loss slowed down and I plateaued a bit but for the most part, my weight loss was consistent. I went to the gym as much as I felt like, but to be honest… many of you know this but I can be very stubborn. When I feel like I am exercising I get annoyed and I just don't want to do it sometimes. I need better willpower and discipline, and I know it too. (You don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful… does that mean that since I know that I need willpower and discipline…that I have it? What?)
So instead of working out at the gym, I went out for walks and even spent a lot of time at the mall. It wasn't exactly good for my wallet, but it really helped. I get anxious if I don't know the location or where I'm walking or how far it is. Steep hills make me anxious whether I'm driving or walking so places like San Francisco make me feel really uncomfortable.. I really only go for the Giants games anyway so no driving or walking up hills for me! (except when I'm on an elliptical or treadmill… ugh)
I would to the mall with my brother or sister just to go look around at most places like the Great Mall or Oakridge….Target… just so I would get out off my butt and walk around and we would spend hours out on our feet and they were big supporters. Since honesty is such a big thing with this post, I'm pretty sure this is where my Target addiction stemmed from LOL.
By September/October 2011, I looked like this:
Tyler Hilton & Me on the set of One Tree Hill. He was so nice! LOL! Remember how I was talking about those "normal" angles? In the screencaps of my audition tapes from 2010, I was wearing makeup. I don't know if the lighting worked miracles.. but I wasn't wearing much makeup in this scene and I just feel like I look so much healthier. I was much healthier. By this time I had lost 30lbs. People might say "GLORIA?! ONLY 30?! YOU CAN LOSE MUCH MORE THAN THAT!" But LET ME JUST SAY THIS: I know myself, through the bajillion diets I've done in the past, I lost weight quick and I gained back twice as much just as fast. This is a lifestyle change to me, I will NEVER put myself through that again.
I noticed around this time I was feeling so much more confident about myself. I was finally feeling something other than bitter, and I started to feel self worth. Growing up I was always a fairly confident girl. I did things because I liked doing them, whether or not liked people liked it. I just wanted to do what I liked, so I did. I honestly couldn't tell you right this second what happened but I got into a really dark place and I really did let myself go. Everything about me was so different in 2010. I didn't care about what would happen to me. Around this time I was tired of being stuck at 30 lbs lost, so I knew I had to change something. This was also when I started having feelings for Ali btw LOL.
I started caring in 2011. By the end of 2011 I looked like this:
I started fitting into smaller clothes, that was a new top from Torrid that I got. It didn't run up my stomach like my clothes used to. I was a much happier and confident person by December 2011. In the span of a year I lost 30 lbs, stopped partying, became more productive with my life, and was allowing myself to feel lo0o0o0ve! LIKE REAL LOVE, NOT THE STUFF I PUT MYSELF THROUGH PREVIOUSLY.
In January 2012, a few friends and I went to Vegas. I was so excited because I was planning to drink, have all the fun in the world, and one of my best friends was getting married! While I REALLY enjoyed her wedding, the rest of the trip I felt SOOO CRAPPY! I was in tears a lot, and from what I can remember it was because I felt like I couldn't keep up with them. I have no idea what happened here, but for some reason I felt like my weight loss wasn't happening fast enough and when I drank I was feeling so anxious. I think deep down I knew what I was doing wasn't right for me. I couldn't handle partying anymore. Maybe it reminded me of the last trip I had to Vegas when I felt very sick. I don't think I've been to Vegas since then lol!
I had been with Ali (virtually) since the end of 2011, and everyone knows he's really into fitness… We counted the other day, and he has 15 CrossFit shirts…. lol anyway!
Despite the Vegas shenanigans, I grew into feeling confident, being happier and becoming *myself* again. I had something to live for. I fell in love quick (again, not good at being patient on my end) even though I hadn't met Ali in person yet. Even though he has seen me through my smaller side, my weight gain, and my weight loss he was always there for me and was very encouraging. In 2012, I wanted to be alive to be with him too. It wasn't just about me at this point. By May 2012, he visited and by this time I lost another 10lbs getting me down to my smallest weight since 2010.
This was the smallest I've been in a long time. Even today but I am literally 10 lbs away from being there again.. but more on that later.. I also hope my math is right haha!
He pushed me into eating healthier and exercising more. He was never mean about it and was so encouraging. He inspired me. Positive reinforcement always worked with me. So to those of you who think "OH HE'S A FEEDER." "HE'S GOT A FAT GIRL FETISH." Stop. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
I kept the weight off, going up and down 5lbs because well that's what happens when you PMS, LOL!! Later in the year, we threw a murder mystery party!
Happier & healthier! Even if I get all double-chinny in pictures it's not as bad as it used to be! I always wanted to plan something like this, and tbh my confidence was making me feel like I could do ANYTHING I wanted so we threw this thing together and it was so GREAT!
And in December 2012, I visited Scotland for the first time!
This makes me happy. I literally just scrolled up to my 2010 pictures and back down. Writing about my progress has helped me remember to stay on track and that I actually have made progress.
When I was in Scotland, I'm pretty sure I lost weight the first couple of weeks.. then I discovered their restaurants and that basically every place delivered so… I took advantage of that. Any weight I might have lost in those previous came back LOL! I did notice a change in my portions though. In the UK, the portions they serve are much smaller. I remember we went to this place called Ketchup this first week I was over. I was so sad to see that their CHIPS were literally like 5 pieces of potatoes! After being there for a month, I got used to it and we went back there before I left. I didn't realize I was used to the portion sizes because when we went back, we ordered 3 servings of chips. One for each of us and one to share. I. COULDN'T. HANDLE IT.
I remember coming back home, going to dinner with Chastity at Chili's and was so shocked by the portion sizes! I had only been gone for 6 weeks but JEEZ!
In 2013, I'm sure I got used to American sizes again because I started to gain weight ONCE AGAIN *sigh* Sometimes life happens. My weight gain wasn't anything significant, but it was slowly going up.
My Mom & I on my 25th birthday on April 24, 2013. CHEESECAKE FACTORYYYYY!!!!!!
My face always seems to show my weightloss/gain first. ANNOYING! Why can't it go to my butt or my chest? I got a smaller booty and a smaller chest… SO.
Life happened, I got busy and I just got busier once Ali moved over! Once Ali moved it was nonstop of busy life! We got engaged on August 24 and from then it was taking Ali to his campus, planning the wedding, taking classes, and trying to fit WORK somewhere in there. We hardly had time to cook, but when we did we started doing meal prep. I guarantee you this is the only reason I didn't gain all of my weight back but only some of it. We made turkey chili for either lunch/dinner and when we were out we would have a sandwich. We also had Chipotle, I'm craving Chipotle. Even though it's not the HEALTHIEST, it tastes so damn good and it's better than going to Burger King and ordering what I used to!
The rest of the year was pretty boring in terms of me and weight loss. It was very repetitive. But here's what I looked like!:
In 2014, thinking about the wedding and my overall health, I started these weekly walks with a group of subbies!
It was really cool having a group of people to do at least SOME form of exercise with and I'm still in touch with so of these awesome people ❤ ❤ ❤
March 1, 2014. BLURRY! Remember when I said that jumping wasn't my friend? At the very beginning of this class, the warm up involved using a jump rope. I was like OH OK THIS'LL BE AWESOME I'M GONNA GO FULL FORCE AGAIN! I went full force, jumped my life, and I felt a huge crunch in my knee. I almost couldn't stand but I pushed through it (which I shouldn't have) and continued because I didn't wanna be a quitter. I should have stopped. It did NOT help, and my knee has JUST started getting better. SO0O0O0 all I could manage at this point was hopefully maintaining my weight.
I believed in making little changes. My cousins and I made a little support group and share what we would eat, what exercise we did and it felt really good! Ok, here's something else…
I started sharing my little changes on my glowpinkstah fb page here and there and immediately got amazing support from everyone! But of course, with the support comes those few who think they know EVERRRYYYYTHIIIING.
I got comments like:
"Gloria, you should be doing this."
"You should be doing that."
"You're gonna die if you don't do this."
"You fat f***ing pig eat a salad."
To be honest, these people most likely had no idea what I've been through or that I had been trying to lose weight for so long. It got discouraging. SOMEEETIMES I just wanna share stuff with people I know (subbies too) and don't wanna have to hear/read from people and their damn supposed "constructive" criticism LOL! I WANT A LIFE THAT IS MIIIINE! Just thought I'd rant on that for a bit hahaha! FELT GOOD!
The wedding was coming up, and when I went in for a fitting, the seamstress said that I lost weight because my dress fit much better on me now. I have no idea why, maybe it was stress from the pressure of everyday life.. but I did NOT step on a scale, I knew it would make things worse LOL!
WEDDING TIIIIIME! June 28, 2014
Happiest day of my life 🙂 BUT shortly after this I stepped on a scale and saw that I gained 15lbs UGHUGHUGHUGHUGHUGHGUHH!! What's even worse, is that I stepped on a scale that was 10lbs OFF and saw that I was 25lbs up and nearly had a meltdown!! Hahaha! It was so scary to see that I had gotten so close to my "starting weight" and new something had to change again…. But not until after our honeymoon LOL!
Let me just say this: I was swollen from the sunburn, it was HOT HOT HOT outside but I still look happier and much healthier than I was at my heaviest. I don't always think that way though.. sometimes when I look at pictures in my present time, whenever that is, I don't see progress and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything.
From July – September I wasn't really into my health like I should have been, but I know I wasn't eating as badly as I was. I wasn't exercising because my knee was still giving me issues. I can't really walk up hills (which is ok with me cuz like I said I hate steep anything) or stand on it for really long periods at a time. By the end of September, we bought a scale and I have no idea whether my weight went up or down or WHAT but I knew that now that I had one available to me, I would feel more comfortable with starting back up.
At one point a couple of years back I got obsessed with weighing myself every morning, every night and it wasn't healthy… don't do that.
We've been eating more home cooked meals, when we eat out we don't overdo it… even though I do that sometimes… I've been meal prepping our dinners, my salads, and instead of having 2 ginormous servings, at dinner I'll have one. If I haven't had time and I ran out of food I might overdo it but something I'm doing currently must work! I plan to share more of my recipes on here and hopefully you'll get a chance to read them! I'm no fancy cook, I just follow recipes I think might taste yummy and change what I think needs to be changed.
Since then I've lost weight and I just feel more confident again!
Last night I did some hula dancing and my knee was cracking a bit here and there but for the most part I could do the moves and that is yet another accomplishment I need to remember! Stepped on the scale and saw that I was down 10lbs yesterday and I took this victory picture:
BABY STEPS! What I've done so far has worked for me and I'm ok with that. I just need to work on having more discipline and willpower and I'll get to my goal slowly but surely. Thanks to everyone in my life for your amazing support. Thank you for being there for me helping me push through the pain to get closer to my big goal.
I'm much healthier, happier, and confident now!

Nashville's New Tune: Investing in Health
Nashville is known as the home of country music. But these days, the industry that really makes the city move is health care. More than 20 large health care companies are based there, including the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), one of the country's largest hospital chains.
Health care revenues account for more than $29 billion a year, a fifth of the city's total economy. But when it comes to its own health, Nashville is a beat behind. Nearly 28 percent of its adults are obese, and another 36 percent are overweight.
This disconnect has alarmed city officials, health advocates and business leaders — not only because obesity and its related ills are consigning tens of thousands of the city's citizens to unnecessary illness or disability. They also realize that poor health is expensive, and can harm economic development, both in the short and long term.
"If your company has a lot of people with chronic disease, you're spending a lot of money," said William Paul, the city's health commissioner. "If you can prevent those diseases from happening, you can save a significant amount."
At the same time, he said, a healthy population can be a major draw for companies looking to relocate or expand.
"Nashville wants to attract new business," said Paul. "If we're known as a healthy city, that becomes a positive thing for economic development. If we're known as a city that thinks about the health of our workforce, that will be a big plus for companies."
To improve Nashville's long-term prognosis, the city government, along with businesses and nonprofit groups, have undertaken an ambitious effort to increase residents' physical activity and improve their eating habits. Combining money from the city budget with more than $7 million in federal funds, Nashville is adding sidewalks and bike lanes, making healthy food more widely available and encouraging citizens to get more active.
While the central goal is improving Nashville's health, saving money is also crucial, said Alisa Haushalter, a nurse with the health department who is project director for the program. "Everything we do takes economic impact into account," she said. "It's the old adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Encouraging Exercise and Better Nutrition
City officials are focusing on changing systemic policies rather than just introducing specific, time-limited programs. For instance, instead of starting an exercise program that will end when funding runs out, the city passed a Complete Streets law, which encourages street improvement projects to include sidewalks and bike lanes.86 The goal is to change the overall environment in which people live, work and play, making it easier to exercise and eat healthy foods.
This year, Nashville also allocated $30 million for parks and greenways, a 30 percent increase from the year before. Nashville is planning to build 25 miles of new walking trails, and has allotted $3 million for 19 miles of new bike paths and $12.5 million to build or improve 19 miles of sidewalks.
In addition, the city helped set up 80 urban vegetable gardens around the city, to encourage both exercise — gardening burns calories —and healthy eating. Many of the gardens pair teens with senior citizens as a way to create social bonds that might not occur otherwise.
The health department also bought 126 bikes, which will be stored around the city on racks near bike paths and greenways. The bikes can be used by any city resident for a few hours at a time, at no cost. To ensure that the bikes are not stolen, those who want to use them must first register online. In addition, the parks department is improving signs and markings along many city trails and bike paths.
This summer, to make sure that residents know about this work, and to encourage them to change how they live, the city rolled out "Nashvitality," a media campaign with radio and TV ads, as well as a web site.
In addition, the health department is working to improve food in neighborhoods that have little access to healthy food. In these areas, many residents end up shopping at convenience stores, which typically sell few nutritious products.
In partnership with Community Food Advocates, another local non-profit, Nashville is helping 29 of these stores improve what they offer. The city provides coolers to each store and offers advice on how to choose, stock and market fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as other items such as whole wheat bread.90 "Before, all you could buy in these stores was chips, candy and beer," said David Campbell, one of the project's coordinators at the city health department. "There was hardly any fresh fruit or vegetables."
Nashville's mayor, Karl Dean, has taken a leading role in improving the city's health. Earlier this year, he started "Walk 100 Miles with the Mayor," a program that challenged residents to walk that distance over the course of several months. This spring and summer, he took part in 28 public walks around the city, all betweentwo and 10 miles. So far, more than 4,000 residents have signed up; together, they have walked more than 100,000 miles.
"This is a difficult problem, but obesity comes down to issues we can control — what we eat and how much we exercise," Dean said. He takes the message personally: he lifts weights almost every other day, and does cardiovascular exercise several times a week.
Businesses on Board
Nashville is also focusing on the workplace. Health department officials, along with the Chamber of Commerce, are talking to 10 of the city's largest companies and institutions, including Vanderbilt University and HCA, which together employ tens of thousands of residents, about how to encourage physical activity and smarter eating.
Among the options being discussed: increasing nutritious options in vending machines; requiring water and healthy food at meetings; subsidizing gym memberships and mass transit passes; allowing employees to exercise during work time; and installing bike racks on company grounds.
Vanderbilt has already developed an extensive wellness program for the 43,000 participants in its health plan (25,000 employees and 18,000 family members). Seven years ago, the institution created "Go For The Gold," a program that pays people up to $360 a year if they provide information about their health and lifestyle and receive instruction in how to get healthier. Almost 90 percent of those in the school's health plan participated in at least part of the program.
In 2008, the program received the prestigious C. Everett Koop National Health Award.95 The university is also revamping its cafeterias, subsidizing some nutritious foods and prominently displaying healthier choices. In one building, they replaced a McDonalds with an Au Bon Pain.96 Vanderbilt has also developed a pilot program designed to help those most at risk. It started 30 employees, all recently diagnosed with diabetes, on an intensive exercise and nutrition program. All participants improved their cholesterol and blood sugar measurements, and nearly a quarter were able to stop taking all their medications. "We've seen dramatic changes," said Dexter Shurney, MD, who helps direct Vanderbilt's wellness program. "We're pretty excited about this."97 He is now working to expand the program.
"The question," he said, "is how to scale this up for 43,000 people. But if we can get more of our population to do these intensive lifestyle programs, we can see substantial savings."
HCA is also trying to cut costs by improving workers' health. This year, the company, which insures 148,000 employees and 72,000 dependents around the country, began offering a $250 health care spending credit to those who complete an online health survey and assessment. So far 65 percent of workers have taken part. About 15,000 were found to have increased risk of a chronic disease; they were advised to see a doctor and to visit a company website with disease information.
The company is also testing a pilot program for people with pre-diabetes or diabetes. Once a month, about 350 workers receive individual coaching from a certified diabetes educator on how to reduce risks through exercise, healthy eating and medication. HCA researchers found that compared to a control group, those who were coached had a nearly 50 percent drop in emergency room visits, and a five percent drop in overall health care costs. None of the pre-diabetics who were coached became fully diabetic, and 57 percent stopped being pre-diabetic altogether.
Yonnie Chesley, who is in charge of HCA's wellness efforts, said the pilot program will soon expand to 1,000 people. If that proves successful, the initiative will go company-wide next year; overall, the company has about 17,000 pre-diabetic or diabetic employees.
Improving Children's Lives — and Saving Money
The city is also investing in ways to improve the health of the city's future workforce, with efforts aimed at children and schools.
Improving the health of Nashville's children will do more than reduce costs in decades to come; it will also help cut current costs. Childhood obesity is expensive: a recent study calculated that in the United States, each obese child costs the health care system nearly $300 a year more than a healthy weight child. The researchers calculated that reducing the rate of childhood obesity by just one percentage point would save at least $1.4 billion annually.
And because obese adults tend to use even more health care resources, helping obese children lose weight before they grow up will eventually save even more money. "Helping them learn healthy habits will really help down the road," said Haushalter, the city's obesity program director.
"It's a long-term economic solution." Last year, the Nashville school district lowered sugar levels in flavored milk, a reduction of 22 calories per carton. Because of the change, Nashville's 77,000 public school students will ingest 50,000 fewer pounds of sugar a year. In conjunction with a local non-profit, the district is also working to improve the nutrition of products sold in school vending machines.
More than 40 schools have set up vegetable gardens, which are tended primarily by students. This summer, 20 of the district's cafeteria managers, who together are responsible for food at more than 140 schools, received training on improving nutrition. Many of these schools are adding salad bars, and most are increasing the number of dishes that are prepared from scratch or with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Other changes are on the way too. "Nashville is like most places," said Campbell. "The food you eat in a school is generally not very healthy — tater tots, hot dogs, french fries. We want to move to salads, fresh fruit and vegetables."
In addition, the city is targeting children who aren't yet old enough for school. The health department is working with eight Head Start programs, which together have nearly 2,000 students, to incorporate physical activity into learning and teach children about good nutrition.
Paul, the health commissioner, is confident that the combination of Nashvitality and private sector efforts will yield results. "If we can have even a small effect on health care costs," he said, "it's going to be a big payoff, for a relatively small investment."
Haushalter agrees, but preaches patience. "We are in an epidemic that has occurred over several decades," she said. "We have to be very diligent. This will take many years to change."

While it is probably a little early to be reviewing a year in some circles, in my life the pace is still up and before I know it the year will be gone. I have been considering this post for a while now and trying to reconcile my compulsive need to put everything in order and chronologically correct when it is not the "when" that is important, it is just the fact that these things happened. So I have decided to put the moments in my life down here in no order other than the way they come out of my mind and depending on what the previous moment prompts to the front of my memory.
If you have read my ravings at any time during it's existence you will know the main themes. Life revolves around my family and riding bikes. I like to keep it simple if I can. I am not smart enough to live a complicated life and I certainly don't have the time or energy spare to have to "try" and live a life. My family is the thing in life I am proudest of, bikes keep me sane.
Spencer gets a special mention here though. He started as my mechanic for bike stuff, quickly became a friend and riding buddy and has stayed that way. He said yes to the Terra and in doing so helped me find out a lot about my self and I think learnt a lot about himself too. What is not common knowledge is that Spencer also set up my deal with Giant. Yep I owe him for that one! I probably owe him more for the pain and suffering I put him through on the Terra.
I have come out of 2010 a much stronger person. Thanks for reading and have a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

It's without a doubt that the biggest selling and most popular franchise of this generation is the Call of Duty franchise, more specifically, the Modern Warfare iterations of it. Now onto the third and final chapter that tells the story of the world's battle against a psychopathic Russian terrorist named Markov, Modern Warfare 3 is bigger and better than ever.
Like anyone at the top, its easy to try to pick apart Modern Warfare 3's flaws to try to chisel it down from the throne. The campaign in Modern Warfare 3 is still a mostly linear affair, and you'll still have to accomplish things by the way the folks at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games designed. Cheap game play mechanics like artificial triggers in a firefight which cause you to fiight off seemingly endless waves of enemies are definitely still here, but it's also not as apparent. The graphics also begin to show their age, and while the character models look really good, the world is filled with plenty of polygons and poor textures that don't hide the aging engine. But we're nitpicking, because when you stand back and look at Modern Warfare 3 it truly does what it knows how to do best - intensity.
From the very first mission on the ground in NYC fighting your way downtown to the New York Stock Exchange to a battle on a bridge in Paris underneath the Eiffel tower, the pure adrenaline rush the game gives never lets up. Modern Warfare 3 has gone from having the battle in your home town to having the battle in every one's favorite town making it decidedly more epic. And while the graphics engine might be showing its age at certain times, several scenes like that from the New York harbor are simply jaw dropping in its scale and beauty. You WILL feel like you are part of a larger war on the ground, despite playing as one of four different, often superhuman, characters.
The Modern Warfare games are known for their slick weapons and Modern Warfare 3 doesn't disappoint here either - whether it's a gun that has a variable scope, a remote controlled turret tank, or taking control of the guns of a helicopter from miles away - the game never lets you down with cool toys to play with. When you combine this with all the aforementioned locales and insane scenarios like an assault with an impending sand storm, I can only describe the game as War Porn, if such a thing were to exist.
Of course single player is only a small piece of the puzzle and it ended for me after six and a half hours. As the credits wrap up you are greeted with a new message - "Continue on to Spec-Ops," the game's cooperative mode. There's a renewed focus here on the co-op which features sixteen missions to play with a co-op partner either locally or online. On top of the sixteen missions, half of which need to be unlocked by earning stars in the previous missions, you also have a survival mode which can be played on 16 maps which are based on versus maps.
There's a lot to like here in the Spec-Ops missions, which are clearly designed with replayability and perfectionism in mind. While a perfect playthrough of a mission might only take 3 minutes end to end, it's getting to that perfect playthrough that's the challenge. You and your co-op partner will be tasked with kidnapping the Russian President in an airplane, strapping on bomb suits and disarming chemical weapons, or simply taking out everything that moves. Where Spec-Ops clearly separates itself are the missions designed for players to work together in separate ways.
One such mission has a player on the ground hacking laptops found throughout a warehouse district. Each successful hack allows the other player to control a camera and turret to cover the player attempting to hack. A mission like this becomes thrilling because of the level design; the player on the ground has limited visibility thanks to tight corridors and dark areas. This means the other player needs to communicate enemy positions and movement to the player on the ground.
Completing these missions earns you experience and unlocks for the Spec-Ops missions - while these aren't used in the standard scenario based missions they carry over to the game's survival mode. These unlocks consist of access to better weapons, different perks, as well as special support abilities. The survival mode reminds me a bit of a love child between Counter-Strike and Horde mode in Gears of War. Enemies come at you in waves, with each successive wave of enemy being more and more difficult. After each wave you have a half a minute or so to find different shop points throughout the map to buy weapons, ammo, and other gadgets to help you survive. Then it's back to the action.
While initially the waves start off pretty harmless, things ramp up quickly as enemies come strapped with dynamite, chemical weapons, or even in support helicopters. Of course the king enemy is the juggernaut - who drops into battle armed in in a bomb disposal suit made of heavy armor making him a tough cookie to crack. As the waves progress the enemies being to gain more hitpoints and come in greater numbers - so those items you've unlocked from your previous play throughs and mission play throughs become crucial. Turrets, air support, predator missiles and more are all at your disposal - using cash earned from the previous waves to beef up your arsenal. Things ramp up quickly and stay fairly intense all the way through. All in all I found Modern Warfare 3's take on the survival co-op modes strangely addictive.
Of course the biggest draw for most people in Call of Duty games are the multiplayer versus modes and while there's a handful of new ones at play, my personal favorite being Kill Confirmed, I just can't get interested in it. If you like Call of Duty style multiplayer, you are bound to like Modern Warfare 3's offering. Add in the new Call of Duty Elite website and service and you'll be playing MW3 for months to come.
Sometimes it's tough to be at the top for so long, everyone is always looking at you to fail. I've even read that the developers felt as if they were the underdogs this time around, and I think because of this philosophy they've delivered the best Call of Duty game to date. Both the campaign and Spec-Ops are incredibly satisfying first person shooter experiences. Now the only problem the series has on its hands is - how does it top itself next year?
This review is based on the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost
Two Men and Me
Over the years at various times in life I've wanted to come to grips with why I'm attracted to the message of Jesus. I've come to find that I like the home-spun stories and parables that resonate with my life story and the learning parables I've experienced. I gravitate to the healing events, the mystery events, and the teaching moments that captivate my attention and speak to my inner curiosity in life. However, time and again I find myself drawn into the journey of Jesus because he rubs shoulders with the most broken, fragile, undone, messy people in his path. In today's Gospel reading, Jesus is kind and grace-filled and compassionate enough to want to reach out to some who were "confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else." Why would he waste his time with them? And then I ask myself, "Why would he waste his time with me?"
I find myself drawn to both of the characters who are central to the parable. How many times has my ego pressed me to want to exult in myself, my accomplishment, my success . . . only to feel as the text suggests. The Pharisee seems so alone, so empty, so distant from others. The text doesn't have to elaborate on the Pharisee's experience. I know only too well how lonely he really must be.
On the other hand, how many times have I wanted to sit next to this tax collector as he slides into the church pew. No blustering, no pompous fanfare, no moral superiority. Simply an open soul willing to face his own issues, his own shame, his own guilt, and his own need. His words offered in prayer shower over me, and I want to make them my own: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner."
As a boy, my heroes were the sports stars who commanded attention through their athletic abilities. I've changed as I've aged. My heroes now are the humble, those I've met or known who have served, loved, taught, healed, prayed, visited, cooked, sewed, sweated, and more—with no fanfare, applause, crowds, or notice—only an exalted place before God.

The truth is that for weeks are waiting for more news about Motorola's new handsets later this year, fundamentally new information about new Moto G and Moto X.
Well, during the day has come a leak from Chile it brings some data which could be two new smartphonesthat actually behave as variants of the current generation . Its launch would be scheduled for next month, ie, by August, and is not known whether this would occur worldwide or limited to certain countries so. What terminals speak? For the Motorola Moto X Sport and New Moto G , two simple names and avoid confusion with previous generations.
Motorola Moto X Sport
According to the filtered images, this terminal would have a 5.2-inch screen , as happens with current X Moto, although some improvements arrive, especially focusing on the cameras. While the current generation has 13 megapixel and 2 megapixel front and rear, the new generation Sport increase its power up to 16 and 5 megapixels respectively , which is quite significant.
In addition, the smartphone would have aquad-core 1.5 Ghz processor instead of the current 2.5 GHz , implying that it would be the new Snapdragon 615. But why Sport? Everything indicates that it could bring some reinforcements to withstand bumps and drops , including a sportier design, although this information has not been confirmed.
With this device occurs more of the same, if only the rear chamber be improved, rising from 8 megapixels to 13 megapixels , and 2 MP sensor on the front remaining. With respect to the processor, the speed increase slightly because instead of riding a quad-core 1.2 GHz, ride the same quad-core 1.4 GHz but reaching . In short, would a Snapdragon 400 to 410.
According to the source , the terminals are in the next catalog operator Entel, which will tell if these Motorola actually come to Europe.

The word Manipur is derived from the two words "Mani" which means 'Jewel' and "Pur" means "City or place", so, in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, Manipur is the "Jewel of India" which described its meaning too.
The place is so beautiful and attractive that Lord Irwin called Manipur as "Switzerland of India" Mrs. St. Clair Grimwood accolades Manipur as "A Pretty Place more beautiful than many show places of the world". The tourism of Manipur gives immeasurable enjoyment and pleasure with its exotic landscape, undulating hills, green valleys, blue lakes and dense forests situated in the northeastern region of India and surrounded by Upper Myanmar in the east, Cachar district of Assam in the west, Nagaland in the north and Mizoram in the south.
Tourist Attractions in Manipur
Manipur tourism is richly endowed with natural beauty of waterfalls, lakes, streams, evergreen forests surrounded by nine sub-Himalayan ranges that attracted the tourists from all over the world for its many other tourist attractions. Some of the famous tourist attractions of the capital city of Manipur are Manipur State Museum, Shahid Minar, Shri Govindaji Temple which is dedicated to Lord Krishna; Khwairamband Bazar is the largest women's bazar in the country famous in the world for handicrafts and handloom wears; the War Cemeteries commemorates all those British and Indian army who died in the second world war which are maintained by the Commonwealth War Grave Commission.

127 To reach this state of stability, both hydrogen and oxygen atoms create covalent bonds with each other, as illustrated in the diagram on the right. In a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom. But because the oxygen atom is larger than the hydrogen atom, its attraction for the hydrogen's electrons is correspondingly greater so the electrons are drawn closer in to the orbit of the larger oxygen atom and away from the hydrogen orbits. This means that although the water molecule as a whole is stable, the greater mass of the oxygen nucleus tends to draw in all the electrons in the molecule including the shared hydrogen electrons giving the oxygen portion of the molecule a slight electronegative charge. The orbits of the hydrogen atoms, because their electrons are closer to the oxygen, take on a small electropositive charge. This means water molecules have a tendency to form weak bonds with other water molecules because the oxygen end of the molecule is negative and the hydrogen ends are positive. A hydrogen atom, while remaining covalently bonded to the oxygen of its own molecule, can form a weak bond with the oxygen of another molecule. Similarly, the oxygen end of a molecule can form a weak attachment with the hydrogen ends of other molecules. Because water molecules have this polarity, water is a continuous chemical entity. These weak bonds play a crucial role in stabilizing the shape of many of the large molecules found in living matter. Because these bonds are weak,
they are readily broken and re-formed during normal physiological reactions. The disassembly and re-arrangement of such weak bonds is in essence the chemistry of life. Water is a universal solvent due to the marked polarity of water molecules and their tendency to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. To illustrate water's ability to break down other substances, consider the simple example of putting a small amount of table salt in a glass of water. Table salt, also known by its chemical name sodium chloride [NaCl], is an example of an ionic compound, which means that one of the atoms involved stole a valence electron from the other. In this case, the chlorine atom [Cl], stole an electron from the sodium atom [Na], resulting in the creation of an electronegative chloride ion [Cl-] and an electropositive sodium ion [Na+]. The two ions are bonded together because of the attraction of opposite charges. better understand ionic bonds After salt is placed in water, the ionic bond between the sodium and chloride ions is broken due to the competitive action of the water molecules that outnumber the salt molecules. The electronegative oxygen pole of the water molecule is attracted to the positively charged sodium ions [Na+], and the electropositive hydrogen pole of the water molecule is attracted to the negatively charged chloride ions [Cl-]. As with the example of table salt, water has the ability to dissolve many unwanted substances that have accumulated in our bodies over time, such as solid waste and toxins, and to flush them away through the body's natural elimination channels such as lungs, colon, kidneys, liver, and skin.
111 The alkaline diet, which is primarily plant-based and avoids sugar, dairy, wheat and other high-gluten grains as well as an excess consumption of fruits, while emphasizing fresh vegetables and vegetable juices along with cruciferous vegetables and greens, changes the body's intracellular pH to come close to the ideal blood pH of 7.3/7.41 - a key metabolic accomplishment on the path to longevity whether you have cancer or not! An alkaline diet based on vegetables and fruits creates a less-than-optimal environment for cancer proliferation, while at the same time strengthens the immune function and supports healthy cells in the body through improved nutrition.
The second step is to use some nutritional mechanism to move the internal cancer cell pH from the optimal mitosis range of pH 6.5 to 7.5, to above 8, which shortens the life of the cancer cell. As described by its proponents, alkaline therapy neutralizes the acid waste of the cancer which causes so much pain, interferes with the anaerobic fermentation of glucose that starts the self-feeding acidic cancer wasting cycle called cachexia and in time, can induce remission. If this theory of alkaline therapy holds true, it should be possible to address cancer without chemotherapy, radiation or surgery and use alkaline therapy as a primary cancer treatment.

Alternative country
Alternative country can refer to several ideas. Most generally, any musician that plays a sound unlike the dominant trends in country music at the time plays "alternative country". By this standard, for example, the Bakersfield sound was alternative in the 1950s, and the Lubbock, Texas musicians were alternative in the 1960s.

Hey there, thanks for visiting my website! If you've landed here you're likely looking for a way to improve your time or money situation, and create more freedom in your life.
My name is Bethany (you can call me Beth for short). I'll tell you a little bit of my story and why I started my online business here!
How it all Started
I was first introduced to personal development when I was 17 years old and my mom took me to a conference called "The Millionaire Mind Intensive." After that experience, I was hooked. I was constantly searching for new information and ways to expand my mind.
My entrepreneurial journey started a few years after that. At 20 years old I was introduced to a sales opportunity doing door-to-door sales.
Had it not been for the personal development I had already been introduced to, I likely would not have accepted the challenge. I was a fairly shy and quiet spoken person, so the though of sales alone scared me, never mind knocking on peoples doors.
This experience truly expanded my mind and it was the first time I was paid for my results instead of my time. I had always been a hard worker and seeing what I could create when I really put my mind to it was truly inspiring.
My First Financial Success
Fast forward a few years later, a friend and I became business partners and started our own direct sales company. With a very small team of 2-3 people, we took it from launch to earning over $60,000/month consistently in less than 2 months. We maintained these numbers consistently over several years, and built a massive client list in several different territories across western Canada.
This was the first time in my life that I would consider myself to be financially successful. But something was still missing. I wasn't fulfilled by the work we were doing. I still felt empty inside and needed to find something that made me feel like I was making a lasting impact on people.
This feeling really made me search within and get really clear on what it was that I DID want. After becoming accustomed to that level of income I knew that I had to find something with significant financial potential.
There were several things that we did that made us consistently profitable over the years, such as having a system that we used and followed to the "T". We also hired help from time to time, which never failed to increase our profits by less than 30%, so leverage was also something that I was looking for in a new opportunity.
A New Beginning
I wanted to find an opportunity where I could use what I'd learned to positively impact as many peoples lives as possible. It would have a solid business system and encompass leverage, so that I could have a large reach without being restricted by location or time.
It would be something with a higher purpose than just earning money, something that would truly make a lasting impact in peoples lives. I wanted to help people learn, grow, and discover their true potential.
After running a business that required a lot of time on the road, working extreme hours, and having to deal with physical products and returns etc.. I wanted to find something more flexible and portable, so I could work from where ever I wanted, and when ever I wanted. I wanted something I could work on my own schedule, and it would likely be something digital so I didn't have to deal with buying, selling or shipping physical products.
Our Business Opportunity
And so that brings me to the opportunity I have aligned myself with here. If you are looking for something to help you reach your full potential and either find your purpose or take you to the next level on the path you're on, then we may have something to talk about.
We are looking to work with people who are passionate, big thinkers, and teachable and coachable. If this is you, you can feel free to click the button below to request more information.
Because we do offer free training and coaching, we are required to take you through a brief interview to get to know you a little bit better, and to make sure that we are investing our time into the right people.
So, if you would like to learn more and request an obligation free interview, go ahead and click the button below and I will get in touch with you shortly.

The mission of GlobalWise Communities is to inspire interpersonal behavior change for better outcomes, using learnable and applicable skills. We have identified seven core skills, usable in everyday life and work situations with people from all backgrounds.
Global Knowledge
Understand how "I" am connected to others by acquiring an awareness of cultural differences and basic knowledge of language, political, religious, geographical, historical and other differences.
- Recognize behaviors with cultural and historical origins versus those with innately human or biological origins.
- Develop a broad foundation of global knowledge to better understand how norms and behaviors originate from a particular set of local circumstances.
Interact with people from other cultures and backgrounds through recognizing and understanding cultural similarities and differences.
- Distinguish basic types of cultural similarities and differences from across the globe.
- Practice finding common ground with another person regardless of differences, cultural or other.
Global Communications
Effectively communicate across different cultures and perspectives by achieving a working knowledge of interpersonal and intercultural communication behaviors, norms, and styles.
- Learn to clearly distinguish and utilize interpersonal and intercultural communication techniques with people from backgrounds and cultures different from your own.
- Recognize and interpret both your own and others' cultural and background influences across a variety of communication methods.
Global Technology Effectiveness
Utilize multiple technological platforms to effectively interact and communicate across different languages, backgrounds, cultures, perspectives and professional environments.
- Practice communicating via email and other modern digital communication tools with people from other cultural and other backgrounds.
- Recognize that English is not the same around the world and many different meanings can be read into the same set of words, even when utilizing the "same" language.
Global Thinking
Identify and understand global and intercultural situations and comfortably act upon a solution.
- Recognize situations with a global or intercultural context and understand how cultural, background and other differences affect the situation at hand.
- Formulate a plan of action utilizing learned skills and resources to positively navigate the situation at hand.
Global Collaboration
Interact with people in all environments (ranging from local to global) to achieve mutually agreeable outcomes while recognizing and accounting for cultural, background and other differences.
- Recognize and understand cultural differences among team members from different backgrounds.
- Communicate effectively within a diverse (culturally and other) team to achieve a goal or goals in a positive and timely manner.
Global Leadership
With a working mastery of the other six Globalwise skills, lead diverse (culturally and other) projects, teams, organizations or groups of people.

"Well, Tyrion and Dany will intersect, in a way, but for much of the book they're still apart," he says. "They both have quite large roles to play here. Tyrion has decided that he actually would like to live, for one thing, which he wasn't entirely sure of during the last book, and he's now working toward that end—if he can survive the battle that's breaking out all around him. And Dany has embraced her heritage as a Targaryen and embraced the Targaryen words. So they're both coming home."
That "coming home" should get fans excited—unless Martin was merely speaking metaphorically. (The Targaryen words are "Fire and Blood.")
