Over the past two years this seventh-grade team of teachers has taught writing across the curriculum, used common terminology, and assessed writing using a shared rubric, providing students with a basic writing structure that helps support writing across all subjects.
Really helpful article on how to incoprporate Claim, Evidence, reasoning and conclusion into the science classroom. Will be doing this next year in my classroom, helpful!
Kelly (Brewster, NY)
This article is an incredible resource for integrating writing into the science classroom.
Lori C
The authors provide an activity, "The Case of the Missing Meatball", to integrate Claim, Evidence and Reasoning, and adding Conclusion, CERC, and writing arguments to support claims with reasons and evidence. The rubric incorporated student friendly language, though I am not sure it is as precise as it could be. When I presented it to my middle school students for their feedback, they felt many of the descriptions weren't measurable. For example, how do you decide if the thesis "Makes the reader excited to read more." What does that look/sound like? How do you determine "Does not have enough depth" to "Explains in depth?"
When asked how they would improve the rubric, they could not come up with specifics. They finally came to consensus the rubric could probably be useable if definitions were provided at the time the rubric was used. They felt it would be important to use the vocabulary of the topic to help define what in depth would be. The important teaching moment for my students was to realize how they could have a rubric and make modifications to make the rubric useful as a learning tool.
They did like figure 5, "Scientific Explanation Graphic Organizer", to help them sort out their thoughts and put evidence and reasoning that would support their claims leading to a conclusion. I challenged them to use the organizer in Math as well. For example, they were able to use a system of equations and their solution as the claim. The evidence would be the work that supported at least three points on their graph. Reasoning was the steps they took to solve the system.
The conclusion was the graph indicating the areas of intersection. Students that before had just gone through the motions and processes of math began to understand there were reasons behind each step and had to explain the Math behind each.
Sandy Gady (Renton, WA)
Writing across the curriculum, using common terminology, and assessed writing using a shared rubric is what this article talks about. It provides two scenarios, a cross curricular writing rubric, and a student scaffolding chart (descriptions for mnemonics, graphic organizers, writing action plans, conferencing checklists, writing processes, and focused practice on individual sections.) The strength of this article is how it integrates the relationship between the National Science Education Standards, which states, "…students in grades 5–8 can begin to recognize the relationship between explanation and evidence" to the ELA Common Core Standards in which students "write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence". The authors described each step in their implementation of the writing processes in their science classrooms. They discussed why they made changes and it's effect on the students writing processes. The authors also discussed their students strength in writing using their state's ELA scores as evidence to support their claims. This is a great article to help a team of teachers develop their own "writing across the curriculum".

Lyrica is an auditioned choir for young women who love to sing, who want to give a polished performance, and who appreciate beautiful classical vocal repertoire. Lyrica members are focused, committed, energetic, and appreciate learning from professional adult musicians who share the same passion. There is a mini voice lesson every week. The warm ups and vocalises produce the sound Lyrica is known for, and there is a component of the Dalcroze philosophy in every rehearsal. The goal is creating a choir that is comfortable, cohesive, and in tune mentally and physically with each other.
Musical literature for Lyrica includes beautiful classical and seasonal music. Lyrica sings in two, three, and four part harmony. Attributes expected are graceful stage presence and manners, total focus of the music at hand, recall and application of proper vocal production and technique learned during warm ups and vocalises.
Lyrica meets at the CSU - P campus on Mondays, in the tiered choir room from 5:00 - 6:30 in the Music/Art Building. Mrs. Kathryn C. Ward is our wonderful weekly accompanist. Performances are given only in acoustically appropriate venues. Lyrica is usually accompanied by professional adult musicians, performing with string quartets, brass quintets, woodwinds, harp, pipe organ, percussion, and piano played majestically by Kathy Ward.
The concert attire is a beautiful dress in shades of heathered blue, purple and cranberry. Members should be ready to wear their hair drawn back away from the face and to have closed toe, low heeled black dress shoes.
There is a limit of two absences per semester from rehearsal. The tuition is $75.00 per semester, with a sibling discount of $25.00 for one sister. Tuition is paid prior to the start of rehearsals.
Lyrica members reside in Pueblo and Pueblo West, also Canon City, Colorado Springs, and Colorado City. The singers are from public, private, church and home schools. Many of our members perform with their own school choir and band, as well as outside theater programs. The youth benefit from an enriching experience working and performing with other talented singers and skilled professional adult musicians. Many lasting friendships are happily formed with other like minded young musicians.

FRIENDS ver2 part 1
Right, anyway, I just came back from my enjoyable yet tiring 3 days 2 nights chalet @ Aloha Chalet. My muscles are cramping/aching all over by now, shall explain later, yea.
Flashback on the days spent . . .
Day 1
As usual, I'm late, that luckily somehow my pals manage to coax the shutter bus driver to wait for my arrival, **sound so grand**. With me zooming into the bus, we took off and before we knew, we are @ the receptionist, and had to wait for our dear Mark Tan to do some paper work before we can get check-in, and so yea Ruben was kinda starving that he had to dial the Mac-Delivery up, but is sort-Ta weird to just order a meal, and expect them to serve to your door-step, so Soo Chin and I chopped in and order a Double cheese each **my all time favorite burger!**
Shaz and Alex arrived with Mark Tan, with our food for dinner. And here a big shout out to Shaz 'thanks for the ingredients you'd **blan-ja**, that under your mom hands, and **ta-da**, **si-dat** cooking!' and of course a big thank to Alex in helping Shaz up for the preparation of dinner =]
Think if I continue to write this way, it'll be darn lengthy, so here goes the **fast-forward** . . .
And so, its dinner time, we gather around in a circle, because the table is round, **k, that lame, =,=**, what point I'm driving across is that we eat together, with a wok of curry in the middle, so is kind of **family-like** feeling, and man I guess either I'm darn hungry or the food is just so superb that I'd 2 portion of rice! wOOT darn freaking full man, I tell you!!!
There-after some had game of **majong**, others had some gaming over the PS2 that our be-loved Soo Chin had never failed to bring along for all the chalet we had thus far, thx man!
Out of sudden, we realized 2 of our man were MIA- 1 boy & 1gal, wooT!!
Anyway, Ming soon arrived and together with Ruben.**both wet**, they suggested let's go for a walk near swimming pool, knowing their **devious-plan** obviously, I bring along my HP, **outwit** them if you know what I meant, or you latta. Pretty soon, all of us got wet or got dunked into the pool, except me, why, because they'd to pay for the damage of my HP, if my HP is to get damage! Then Ruben asked me to **surrender** the phone, and wana push me down, but but I voluntary said,
'I go down myself'
With a somersault, I'm into the pool **graciously** ,**to get wet, also must pattern-pattern. LOl
Ming suggested
'lets challenge who can hold our breath in the pool longest'
Obviously he got **train**, i think and proposed this challenge, he won of-course.
After-which we head back to our bunk and the 2 MIA peps still MIA.
Soon both return, w/0 much **interrogation** between them, we decided to go for night cycling- an adventure that I never regret though is darn tiring.
After slashing the rental price, we got our bike @ $12 per person for 12 hrs! =]
DAY1 approaching Day 2
@ Near mid-night, we set from our chalet to our destination- Changi Village!
Halfway through, the girls had some injuries, with Ruben the only guy with toe injuries, cox of his long legs that is nt proportionate to the bike and Shan the only she-male who survive the trial! Matter was made worst that our commando Alex had lead us the wrong way!?!?
The girls, Hua, Lian, Shan decided to head back, and the tough guys decided to carry on the expedition, so Ruben and Alex waited at 1 of the **pit-stop**, Shaz and I then escorted the girls back, or rather Shan who in-front leading us back, I need to be behind ma, anything happen then can see =/ with shaz guaring lian
Back at the chalet, grasping some drink, we resumed the journey to Alex and Ruben, this time round with Rongs and FAz who had just arrived, and so the 4 of us are back on the track again!
When we reached the pit-stop, those 2 were **whining**, that they had waited for an hour, and I was like woOah, time passed so fast meh?
With Faz and Rongs arrived the pit-stop, **me and shaz reached first**,
we rested and Faz changed his bike with mine, cuz he using this freaking small bicycle that girls were using just now, I tell you, its so darn tiring to cycle on a small bike! So the trade was successful, a tiny bike for my deluxe bike, T___T
Alex was way up-front, with his own posh bike, and me way behind with Ruben, with Faz, Rongs and Shar wayX3 behind. LOl, at the 2nd pit-stop, we waited for like 8mins and didn't see any shadow of Rongs and Faz, called them and they said they heading back! **we were reaching sOON, is like another 10 mins** so the 3 of us reached Changi village soon after, and do think 2 of them had **char-siew mee** @ 4++ a.m. =,=, shaz and I just had ice-milo.
Heading back was easier for me, as commando is willing to take my small bike and I used his posh bike to cycle back, =]
What fun about night cycling is that there ain't many cars and the whole street is like catered for you only, whats more is at Changi is so **wu-lu-wu-lu** = lighter traffic, and when go down slope is so darn shiok, but of course you had to conquer the uphill first! When we reached back, my hair were like standing up, even though is not jel-ed!
Were spent @ Sentosa, zai wei joined us there, think pictures say louder than words, will upload them soon once I received the photos next week?
It rain that day, and were like #@$@%!
Thank God the rain stop soon-after,
We had a human burial of Shaz and Alex, and I initiated to swim across the beach to the other **island**, none of them want, but soon I reached, Alexstair and Ruben soon followed, guess they saw this **guinea pig** had succeeded and is safe that they tag on, LOl, or more like they saw me alone on the island that they come or else is like ps-ing me. And so the 3 of us are opposite of each other separated by the shore, and guess what we were inspired by the movie 'wild hogs', that the 3 pee in the sea together, mind you this is not g@y stunt, this is really buddy-like acts!, gals don understand this! This is just merely for fun or sought of daring, yea. Admit it all of us, guys had at least pee at least once at sea or public pool, ladies I not sure, wait till 1 dare to confess,@___@
After wash-up had dinner @ food republic and chilled up at Ben & Jelly
The night was still young and we didn't know what to do that we took a super-duper long cut back chalet, we took bus all the way from harbour front to tampines then take bus back to pasir ris then from there take bus to down-town! woOt , my longest sprees on bus thus far!
**can't wait for the photos**
Day 3
Today is spend on more of cleaning up, and breakfast were settled at Ya-Kun, and then home sweet home. Do think that those guys still had the energy to go clubbing tonight, and I had to spend my evening at some TP band concert, friend ask to support ma, and more-ever is more budgeted wise!
Yet to upload those photos taken, next week when shan passed to me,
this is already a fast-forward mode and is still so lenghty =,=
yawn~ muscle cramp cramp, **acting cute**, or goin nuts from isomia
Till then
Take care
wish to have a night cycle with my dream gal on a double-seated bike =]

FRIENDS ver2 part 2

reasons . . .

Relocating can be a fun and memorable experience if done in an organized way. If moving is on the cards for you then there are some things that will make moving easier, if done well in advance. It is best to jot down a checklist of some important tasks to be done before the final day. The best way to go about moving is to make a week by week plan. Based on this practical approach, here is a checklist that will help you prioritize important things to be done before moving.1. Planning goes a long way in ensuring effective relocation. Start searching for a new home, about two months prior to moving. Contact a reliable real estate agent for the same. Make a list of possessions you intend to take along. Evaluate different moving options and make up your mind on whether you would like to move on your own or with professional help.2. Approximately six weeks before moving, get an estimate of the relocation costs from reliable movers. If you wish to do the moving by yourself, compare the rates of different rental truck companies. Formulate a budget and once that's done, book a moving company that fits in your budget or a rental truck for the moving day.3. Before moving, notify your property owner, employer, bank, family physician and children's school authorities about your intention to move soon. Request for your family's medical records and school records. If you have decided as to which city you would like to live in, start looking for a personal physician and school for your kids at this stage. If you've got a pet, get its check-up done and collect its vaccination records and health certificates from your vet. 4. Start getting rid of unwanted clutter. Sell unwanted items online, donate them or simply distribute them to friends and family. Start packing important items early to avoid last minute anxiety. If you have subscribed to any delivery services or club and organization memberships, this is the time to unsubscribe from them. Clean up your drawers, medicine cabinets, backyard storage shed etc.5. Get your car serviced if you have to travel to the new destination by road. If you will be flying to a new city, book your ticket in time and arrange with an auto transporter to get your car shipped.6. The last stages of moving involve confirming with the moving company if everything is as per the plan. Finalize your packing and label all the packages properly. For those with kids and pets, it is advisable to hire a sitter for moving day. Clean and defrost your refrigerator, empty and clean other kitchen appliances, and disassemble large pieces of furniture. Keep valuables and important documents in your custody.7. On the moving day, take one last look around you for items you might have forgotten, read paperwork that you have to sign carefully, keep refreshments and cash handy, and let your truck driver know your new address and phone number. Last but not the least hand over the keys to the property owner.We, at Cloud Real Estate, offer a wide range of real estate services in Killeen, TX. For more information visit 1703 South W.S.

Prospective tenants always show more interest in homes that look well cared for. Some preparation at making the home look warm and welcoming goes a long way. Strike the right chord with your tenants by preparing the house in such a way that they can see themselves living in it. You can also hire a professional to help you prepare your home.
Here are some tips on how to prepare a rental home for a showing:
First impressions are usually the last. Staging a rental home for showing is a great way of improving its curb appeal. Availing home staging services offered by property agents is a great option as it will help you save a lot of time and energy. Furnish the house to give it a warm homely feel. Keep some indoor plants, light up some candles for some good vibes and smell. You will also have to work on the external area of the house. Ensure that the lawn is mowed and the paint is not chipped.
Professional Cleaning
Get the house cleaned thoroughly. Bathrooms and kitchens will need special attention because they are more prone to odours and can have dirty nooks and corners. Ensure that the floors are buffed and cleaned properly. Make them shine as that will enhance the appearance of the whole house.
General Condition
Everything in the house should be in working condition. The lights, taps, flushes, locks, windows and anything the tenant can possibly check out should work well. You might have to get a plumber to fix all pipes, check the drainage and ensure that all the taps are working. It's a good idea to turn on all the lights during the showing as that will make the house look bright and inviting. The carpets and curtains should be clean. You would certainly not want bad odour from a carpet or a dirty looking curtain covering a beautiful window.
Focal Point
If the home has a focal point like a window seat, fireplace, reading nook or even a wall, do your best to make it stand out. Try throwing some colourful pillows on a window seat. Work on the lighting of a beautiful wall to highlight it. Cute beanbags at a reading corner and some plants will make it look inviting.

INSTRUCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:This is most likely the simplest of the reforms that really could be instituted and it's based on the fact that educating our young is a Nationwide Safety concern. During this period the The English East India Firm captured more places of India. We have now a lot soul searching to do. We owe our students the most effective training potential and the refusal on our finish to replicate on why we do what we do just isn't helping. In India for instance, youngsters who have simply realized to walk and discuss are pushed into kintergartens and nurseries and forcibly taught English, when they should be studying their mother tongues.
I am glad to know people who take on-line courses for PhD's are getting a good schooling and are required to earn it. Any one that pays for this system to run won't ever use it for himself or for his household. Lately, there was a debate on the Finnish schooling model where researchers declare that there was exemplary progress. Or really a better training than that, because it's chosen out of riot.
Whereas every of the goals pursued in Schooling 2.zero has merit, something seems lacking. It's adding up that schooling is a useless device that serves no purpose in a job, except for placing us in debt. Our youngsters are extra ignorant of many issues and this has left parents wondering what is the use of training as we speak- youth sees nothing but, but it is now common knowledge that little learning is going down and that the AFrican youngsters are worse-off than not like the Bantu Educated Africans.

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc's planned expansion in Europe would set the video streaming company up for growth, but would increase content and marketing expenses in the near term, analysts said.
The company's shares were set to open down about 2 percent at $442.19 on Tuesday. Up to Monday's close, the stock has nearly doubled in the past year.
At least 14 brokerages raised their target price on the company's stock by as much as $75 to a high of $550 on Tuesday, a day after the company said profit more than doubled in the quarter ended June 30.
Netflix said it planned to expand into Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg in September, taking its international addressable market to more than 180 million broadband households — double the current U.S. market.
"The launch into the six new European markets appears costlier than anticipated," Janney Capital Markets analysts wrote in a research report.
Netflix, which now has over 50 million subscribers, is already present in European countries such as the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
The company added 1.12 million customers in international markets in the second quarter, more than the 570,000 customers it added in the United States.
Netflix's international business was likely to post losses or stay in "early-stage margin mode" for the next several years, RBC Capital Markets analysts wrote in a research note.
RBC forecast that longer term, the business' margins would be similar to that in its U.S. business, which the brokerage said was 27.9 percent in the latest quarter.
RBC kept its "outperform" rating on the stock and raised its price target to $530 from $500.
Of the 37 analysts covering Netflix, 18 have a "buy" or a higher rating on the stock, 14 have a "hold" and 5 have a "sell" or equivalent rating, according to StarMine data.
Netflix has invested in original series such as "House of Cards" and the Emmy-nominated "Orange is the New Black" to square off against competition from Amazon.com Inc and Hulu.
"While we believe in the product and the potential for the company longer-term, we have reservations on current expectations and what is implied in the current stock price," Barclays Equity Research analysts wrote in a client note.
Barclays kept its "underweight" rating and $420 target price on the stock.

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) recently released the findings of an ad hoc workgroup convened to study how local health departments can better integrate syndromic surveillance systems into their operations.
While the group said additional work is necessary before finalizing a set of recommendations regarding syndromic surveillance systems, it said that it would seek input from experts within the surveillance community to develop a list of functionalities that can fulfill the needs of a diverse set of health departments.
The group also pledged to establish the scope and classification of functionalities necessary for standardized systems, as well as whether functionalities should be reviewed with a standardized method.
The NACCHO report said that although syndromic surveillance systems have been in use since the late 1990s and a general framework regarding the systems has been established, no existing documents provide guidance on what functionalities they should include. The workgroup concluded that a white paper regarding syndromic surveillance systems would support system developers in aligning their efforts to meet the needs of local health departments.
The group said it would continue working to modify its list of functionalities.

VIDEO: Kangaroo hops to a Fraser Coast business
A FRASER Coast business welcomed an unusually jumpy customer on Tuesday.
Daisy's Phone Repairs, located in Pialba, uploaded CCTV footage of an eastern grey kangaroo hopping to its store about 1.30pm.
"Had an unusual customer skip by today for a phone repair," the post reads.
"Got talking to her and she said her joey's had dropped the family iPad and they needed it for school tomorrow.
"She'd been to some of our competitors and was hopping mad at the high prices so she thought she'd jump on our latest iPad deal!"
It was not the only business the seemingly disoriented kangaroo passed.
The macropod was seen hopping down Boat Harbour Dr, passed lunching families at Subway, and outside Stockland Hervey Bay.

Breanna got sick while we were there, so she and I just hung out in one of the quiet back gardens on a bench, while the boys went off on their own for awhile. Unfortunately, she didn't get better, so we had to cut out time there short. We'd love to go back and really see it someday. It was SUPER crowded the day we were there though, so it was hard to push through the crowds. Glad you had such a nice time!! The pics are great!ReplyDelete

So says Karen Le Billon, in her book "French Kids Eat Everything." She goes on to say, "The French believe—and have done scientific research—to prove you can teach your kids to eat just like you teach them to read," she told Quartz. "Pediatricians give new parents detailed lists of what kids should be trying. Young children are expected to try pickled pig snouts. It's soft, and healthy," she said. "Taste training is part of the national curriculum and kids get tested in year four; they learn that science shows you need to try a new food many times before you like it. By the time kids get to school, stinky cheese is not going to scare anyone."
Why am I talking about school lunches and eating habits in France, when this is America? Because popular opinion of late would have it, that kids in other countries, particularly France, are superior to American ones in many ways. I don't buy that. There is no disputing that France and other countries have dramatically lower obesity rates than the United States, which they seem to accomplish by feeding their children Boeuf bourguignon and brie with a snack of bread and chocolate at 4pm every day.
The austere differences in school lunches provide some answers: French kids are given time to eat hot, four-course meals that include a wide range of cheeses and artisanal breads while New York City public schools kids race through versions of starch with cheese with an "eat your colors" campaign to encourage fruit and vegetable consumption. If France faces restrictions on how much ketchup can be served weekly, the US government has at various times tried to pass ketchup off as a vegetable.
In my opinion, no country's children are superior over another's. As for how they eat, that is a cultural issue. Europeans tend toward making eating a celebration of sorts. They take time to enjoy a meal with family or friends and to enjoy the fresh grown products of their local areas. Most products for these gatherings or dinners are home cooked with fresh products. The French have a word for food and company: "Commensality (la commensalité), which literally means 'eating together in a group," Le Billon writes. Americans have always viewed eating as a way to fuel the body to continue working. They never have taken the time to truly enjoy a meal. This trend dates back as far as America's beginnings. Home cooking did prevail until the "Fast Food Boom" in the late 1950's and early 1960's, when Americans could eat out quickly and affordably. Following on the heels of fast food came processed foods. Not quite as healthy for you, but good enough to fill you up quickly and cheaply. The obesity epidemic had begun in America.
As early as the mid 1960's articles were appearing in magazines regarding the obesity epidemic in America. Less and less Americans were eating at home and those who were, were using pre-prepared canned or frozen products of less healthy qualities (processed foods). American life was becoming more sedentary, but we were still rushing through meals and overeating because of the rush. Some Americans were eating healthy, but this group came, as in today's society, from upper-middle income and above. Every child wasn't entitled to at least two healthy, government regulated meals at school, so this became America's dining culture.
Children emulate their role models, so the fast food culture spread to our children. We literally taught them to eat just like we teach them to read. They eat and read what they are readily exposed to on a daily basis. American or French, or Asian, or any other child for that matter identifies and prefers the foods they have become accustomed to eating on a regular basis. Unlike the French, we do not start nutrition education with our children from birth. We now wait until they start school, have developed food preferences, and then depend on our schools to rectify an almost unsolvable situation. This, as we are starting to see is causing hardships on school food programs. Just because we try to force them to eat healthier doesn't means they will. Comparisons of a weekly school menu in France with one in New York City, show that most American kids wouldn't identify with or even try the French fare.
|Here's what French kids in Paris 17th arrondissement (link in French) ate this week, compared to kids in New York City:
|New York City
|Artisanal baguette, pork rib in dijon sauce, turkey ham, mashed potatoes, emmental cheese, apple
|Stuffed cheesy bread, marinara sauce, spinach
|Artisanal baguette, green salad, salmon spaghetti, yogurt with fruit, apple compote
|Mac & Cheese, toasted garlic dinner roll, Brooklyn baked beans
|Fresh bread, cucumber salad with cream fraiche, veal sauteed in olives and broccoli, goat cheese, gâteau de semoule fait maison au caramel
|Avi's Burger-ito, baked french fries, kale salad
|Artisanal baguette, tomato, onion and coriander salad, organic beef sauteed in its juice with delicate green beans in parsley, fromage à pâte molle, pear
|Chicken & broccoli, veggie fried rice, crispy egg roll with duck sauce, fresh apple
|Artisanal baguette, omelette with potatoes, salad of carrots, tomatoes and corn, fromage à pâte fraiche, apple crumble
|Pizza (garden veggie), Jamaican Patty, fresh tomato salad
Some American kids would identify with the French cuisine as they already eat some of these items at home, but they are in the minority. If our nation, like the French, started influencing the eating habits of children from birth and in the home, instead of after the fact in school, we may start to see a distinct change in the eating culture of Americans over time. After all, it took a long time for this culture to develop, it will take time to change it again.
This may appear to be a drastic and prescriptive approach, but no more than the HHFKA guidelines are in school dining. If we truly want to make a difference then we need to be all in, not just for 1/16th of a child's daily food experience. Until we take major steps to change the culture, alas, the American version of "Commensality (la commensalité) will continue to be "Miller Time."

The Good Greek Girl review: an intelligent and loving memoir of depression
The Good Greek Girl
Reasons to Stay Alive
Mum, I wish I was Dead
There is nothing uplifting about depression apart from the tales of those who have lived through it and learnt its difficult lessons. Each of these three personal memoirs has elements that are truly frightening. They all describe a pain so intense and surly that the writer was prepared to die just to get a break from its irrational demands. Yet the very existence of these books is proof of a victory, if that's the right word.
Survival is too bland to describe endings that bring both joy and relief to the reader. Cure suggests something too permanent for the fragile truce with reality that depression may sometimes accept. These stories are wise, fearless, warm, often funny and, above all, honest. Honesty is tough medicine but it is often the only one available.
Maria Katsonis was enjoying life as a high-achieving bureaucrat, a member of an undervalued group that actually believes in public service. Such was her standing that she studied at the Kennedy School at Harvard where she thrived. In 2008, depression swept aside her achievements and reduced her to a level of bare subsistence. The expression Katsonis uses is "mental illness cradled me in its arms". The phrase embodies the gentleness she brings to describing her journey.
It is impossible not to enjoy Katsonis' warm and open companionship as she takes us through her life. She loved her parents and describes both of their deaths; she struggled to maintain a relationship with her father after she came out as a lesbian. Even when she finds herself in a mental hospital, she shows an uncanny ability to nurture friendship. She is brave in talking at work about her ordeal. She challenges herself to move on from a career of analytical writing to create something more personal and, in doing so, presents herself entirely without make-up. The result is something generous, intelligent and loving. The world needs the rare kindness Katsonis is able to show to both herself and others.
Matt Haig has an impressive bag of literary tricks with which to entice his experience of depression to come out into the open and make itself known. He is a writer of great verve and dexterity. His wit could snap a steel girder. In this book, he has chosen to deal with his assailant in a terse manner, often employing lists such as "things people say to depressives that they don't say in other life-threatening situations", "things you think during your first panic attack" and "things that make me worse". Indeed, the title of the book suggests the whole thing is a kind of list and in some ways that is a fair description.
Haig's book is an unglossy catalogue of advice, much of it confronting. It is both elegant and of great practical help. Yet, despite the mischievous and self-assured tone with which Haig provides lists of depressive celebrities and witty snippets from questions he asked online, there is no escaping the raw truth at the heart of his book.
There was a long period of time in his 20s when Haig could hardly leave the house. Apart from the support of his heroic partner, Andrea, as well as his parents, heaven knows how things might have ended up. Haig's illness was not brief, came to no sudden end, and eluded explanation. It lends authenticity to everything else he might say about the ambitions of depression in the lives of others.
Family plays a role in all these books, so much so that you can't help considering the plight of those who endure depression without people around them. Adam Schwartz is the youngest of these writers and, in some ways, presents his story with least varnish. Unlike Katsonis and Haig, Schwartz's story focuses mainly on childhood experience. His depression was finally diagnosed when he was 15. Until that time, he had no end of difficulties including, at one stage, an inability to walk. Despite the support of a loving family, he was often lonely and mystified by himself.
Schwartz's account of teachers, parents and professionals is generally positive; God only knows how tough it must be for those whose experience is different. It was bad enough for Schwartz. He has the grace to recognise the ways in which his pain created pain for others. Near the end of the book, he includes a simple but heartfelt letter he wrote for his brother, Nathan. It is a reminder of the ways in which depression, which likes to remain anonymous, sends ripples through many lives. It is an experience that is at once so common yet at the same time so alienating.
Matt Haig is a guest at Sydney Writers' Festival. Michael McGirr is the dean of faith and mission at St Kevin's College in Melbourne.

Gloucester Docks
I've recently been working on a project about living and working in Gloucestershire. My client has a list of the counties features that need photographing, the assignment is taking me all over the county and it's reminding me how lucky I am to live here. A couple of nights ago I popped over to Gloucester Docks and took this 30 second exposure picture. Because it was very windy the water was moving and this makes the water appear smooth. By using the self timer and a tripod lashed to a lamp post I could get the rest of the picture sharp despite the very long exposure.

Hey Everyone,
Did you see the headlines on the latest find on the shores of Lake Michigan? Take a look if you missed it:
Wow! Can you believe that they actually found a 21 foot-long freshwater squid on the shores of Good Harbor Bay? Unbelievable! How in the world did the squid make it to Lake Michigan in the first place? The article tells us:
""This is first time there's been an actual specimen recovered, so this is very exciting", she said. It is believed that a few of the squid escaped from the Cleveland Sea World complex during the great Northeast blackout of 2003 when they were very young, and somehow made it into Lake Erie.""
Amazing! But why didn't they leave the lake and move to other places? The article tells us:
"According to Dr. Polowotski, the squid were kept contained in Lake Erie, as the Detroit River is too narrow and shallow for the squid to swim upstream. "They are intimidated by closed-in spaces. They need a lot of room. You have to remember that this is a very big animal", she said."
Unbelievable! What are the consequences that this giant creature will have on the lake? The article tells us:
""Hopefully the walleye can keep the tiny-giant squid population under control, else there is some cause for concern", said Dr. Polowotski. "Boaters and swimmers really need to exercise some caution"."
Ground Breaking! (Are you starting to feel like you're watching the 1960's "Batman" TV Show?)
Mind Blowing! Can you believe something like this could ever happen? I hope not!
At Reasons for Hope we're always challenging folks to critically evaluate what you see. When I saw this article on a friends Facebook page it immediately smelled fishy, and not just because it was dealing with squid, but because the picture didn't match what the headline was saying.
Take a look again at the photo:
Does anything look out of place to you? Do you notice the kelp on the shore? Lake Michigan doesn't have kelp in it. In addition, the shores of Lake Michigan aren't made up of black volcanic rock!
So, I did some digging and found out that the source for the article is a website called "breakingnews365". When you go to their website you see that it is a place where you can put up an image and make your own headlines.
Talk about "fake news", this takes it to a whole new level.
The lesson is, don't just read the headlines! I don't know how many times we can say this until people will get sick of hearing it. But the fact of the matter is we've got to do just that. Find secondary sources and read the entire article before buying the hype.
In a world that is full of misinformation unless you know the truth, you can be deceived. Christian, get into the Word of God. Study it so that when the fake information is being disseminated, you can immediately recognize it and then neutralize it with the truth of God's Word.
Stay Bold!
