Lama, Live at Maples Pavilion
Originally uploaded by benho.
For whatever reason, I found myself agreeing with everything he said. I had four hypotheses as to why.
- Chinese/Confucian/Taoist/Buddhist legacy of my upbringing.
- Just a generally sensible upbringing
- The New-Agey, post-hippy, political correct, California culture that I live in today
- The Lama is hitting upon some universal truths.
- The purpose of all living things is to seek happiness and ease suffering.
- Humans are different than animals because they have mental faculties and intelligence that facilitate this purpose.
- We should embrace science for effectively solving much of our material suffering.
- But material well being is not a sufficient condition for happiness. We should have affection for our fellow man, but at the same time not let affection divide. We should treat all humanity as one body.
- It is easy to be tempted by negative thoughts. Strive for positive thoughts
- Have respect for all faiths and systems of beliefs. Be moderate and do not judge.
But in the end, the Lama has a whimsical winning personality, and in Q+A was quite amusing and surprising. He basically talked about the unity of religious and spirituality; how he lectures Christian priests about God. An odd but interesting question, "Would you favor genetic engineering of people that removed desire and thus remove suffering?" His answer was surprising. I would not favor, only because the experimentation would be painful and cruel. But if science could eliminate desire and remove suffering (ala soma) he would be all for it. He also freely admitted the primacy of science over Buddhist texts, lamenting how he wasted so much time memorizing Buddhist cosmology when now we know from modern physics that all that was nonsense.

The official Authentic Chinese Cuisine review thread
Vegetarian bbq "pork" - I used the baked gluten pieces for this and the flavor is f'ing amazing on this. It really reminded me of the days I used to eat this as an omni.
Baked gluten pieces - Do not overbake these like I did! They end up super chewy but I still liked them.
Spicy braised yuba - This doesn't have a ton of flavor but it is still really good and is super quick. I love the texture of yuba and the taste of fermented black beans so this is a winner.
Spring rolls - Super yum!! I love spring rolls and they are so easy to make at home. Eat these with plum sauce and you'll be head over heels in lurrrve.
Dan dan noodles - I've had a few peanut butter noodle type dishes but this is the best one by far. The TVP topping is soooo flavorful and there's a hint of peanut butter but not enough to be overwhelming. This recipe really does make only 2 servings so if you want more, double it.
Mapo doufu - Now this is my shit. I used to eat this all the time so I have high standards and this recipe is awesome! I love the texture of soft tofu and TVP.
Sichuan kung pao "chicken" - This was definitely tasty and will definitely be made again.
Hunan-style "duck" curry - I used canned "duck" and Japanese curry (S&B brand) because that was all I had on hand. Man this was sooo flavorful, I want it again. I have a Malaysian curry powder that I want to try in this recipe so I need to make it again to see how it tastes.
Potstickers - Yeah! Loved these and folded them by hand. I can't believe people use a potsticker press for this. Seriously, it only takes a couple minutes to get use to folding by hand and then it goes quickly. Besides, it looks better.
Spicy dipping sauce - Perfect compliment to the potstickers and has great flavor.
Sichuan spicy tangerine "chicken" - Didn't like this at all, it was just plain and the only thing that stood out was the zest.
Chow mein - Basic, good chow mein. Nothing to rave about but it's good.
Pineapple sweet and sour - Fantastic flavor, probably due to the 1/3 cup of sugar but this dish is worth the indulgence.
Hunan tofu with fresh garlic - Enjoyed this but had to double the sauce since I like things to have a lot of it but other than that, this is a dish that goes great with sriracha.
Beef and broccoli - This was alright but I wasn't enthusiastic about it.
Sichuan tofu - I've been making a variant of this dish for a couple of years so I decided to try this recipe and it's just as good. I always add some boiled edamame cause that's how I was taught to make this. Try it if you make this.
I was supposed to say that the Beef and Broccoli review above was for the black bean sauce version. Here's the review for the regular sichuan beef and broccoli - Seriously, anything with 6 cloves of garlic is going to win me over. This is always good to make when all you have is some seitan and broccoli.
Chinese style "beefy" seitan - This really does taste like beef, I was completely surprised. The method of cooking is unliked anything I've tried for seitan before but it works and it ends up with like a thick syrup like glaze on top which is so delicious.
Beef and broccoli in oyster sauce - This tastes just like takeout but way healthier and overall better. I really recommend making the seitan from this book for this dish cause it comes out insanely good.
Asparagus tofu with black bean sauce - I love fermented black beans but this was just lacking in flavor. I had to add a lot of soy sauce and sriracha to get it to be edible but I couldn't say I was glad I at least tried it.
Fried rice - Fried rice is always good and this recipe is no exception. I like that scrambled tofu is added, definitely gives it more flavor and helps out the texture.
Stir-fried "chicken" and snow peas - I think I would try this again with veggie broth instead of water cause I thought this was so bland. The other thing is make sure you stir-fry the snow peas first and get them to the tenderness you want them. I follow Bryanna's instructions and found them way too crunchy.
Stir-fried "chicken" and mushrooms - Anything with oyster sauce seems to win me over so of course I really enjoyed this. Besides, tofu and mushrooms is always a great combo.
Hunan hot and sour "duck" - Ok this is not hot at all but with all the extra sriracha I put on it, it definitely ended up hot. Good, filling dish with great flavor.
Chili green beans - They weren't spicy and very flavorful. I'm still on the hunt for a good Chinese green bean recipe!
Braised tofu with Chinese black mushrooms - I've been making a dish like this that I learned from an ex-gf years ago so I decided to try this and this tastes almost exactly like my version. The only thing I do differently is add a handful of defrosted edamame.
Stir-fried vegetarian duck - I hate bell pepper so I used an onion in its place but that's the only change I made. I love the premade duck seitan and this is a great way to prepare it. It's so easy to make since you can buy the seitan instead of having to make it from scratch.
Stir-fried chinese broccoli - This seems like a lot of work and it is. I don't do it often but every now and then it's worth the extra steps. I love how it looks from not being chopped up and the sauce that goes with it is great.
It's on page 132, it's on the left hand side of the page under Variation. "Beef" and Brocccoli in Black Bean Sauce.
Where's your reviews woman?!
which black bean sauce version? I can't find it :-\
Where's your reviews woman?!
http://www.emoticonzone.com/msn-emotions/animated/tsktsk.gif, fb
I am very bummed that my library does not have this cookbook after seeing all these amazing reviews. :(
Hi everyone, I really think this book needs more positive reviews! I'm not at home right now but will review what I remember from the top of my head and will add to that when I've had a look at the reviews I've scribbled into the book
Breast of Tofu "Chicken"
Easy, quick, liked the method. Good to prepare and I liked the taste.
Sichuan Kung Pao "Chicken"
This is what I use the breast of tofu chicken in. Absolutely love this recipe! The sauce is the best.
Baked Seitan Balls
this was a completely new method to me and I really liked how the seitan balls puffed up and had a texture that was unlike any other seitan I have ever tasted. I always plan on trying variations on this, like seasoning the seitan instead of using the plain gluten+water variety.
Vegetarian "Barbecued Pork"
This was very intense tasting bur really good! I might cut back a little on the 5 spice next time though. Used this as a filling for the steamed buns and I could not stop eating them.
Steamed Savory Filled Buns
The dough recipe worked very well for me although I usually dislike any recipes that measure in cups. (really prefer weight)
Green Tofu Filling
Used this also for the steamed buns, also very much delicious.
Pearl Balls
Unusual but tasty snack. I remember them being a little heavy on the ginger but will have to check my notes to make sure.
Chili Green Beans
I really liked those. I browned them thoroughly in the pan and I think that did the trick. Great, easy side.
Zucchini with Ginger
Simple, easy, nice side. Tastes pretty much like zucchini and ginger (it is a really simple, straightforward recipe)
Okay, I have now looked up my notes in the book and would like to add some additions to my previous review.
Spicy Braised Yuba:
I must have made and liked it as it is marked in the book but to be honest, I don't remember well. So it was probably good but not spectacular.
Steamed Savory Filled Buns:
Maybe useful information: one filling recipe makes enough filling for one dough recipe (=16 buns = 8 servings)
Flower Rolls:
Well, it's just steamed white yeast dough and I did not like the plain kind very much. The filled buns are just so much better.
Velvet Corn Soup:
I used smoked tofu for the tofu in this recipe and it was pretty good.
"Beef" and Broccoli in Black Bean Sauce:
I liked it.
Crispy "Pork" with Sweet-and-Sour Sauce:
Another of those recipes I've made but do not remember well. I made it with tempeh as the 'meat' and it probably worked well. The notes say that I liked it.
Red Pepper Tofu:
Liked it, noted to use less sherry and light soy sauce next time though so it was probably a little too salty.
Green Beans with Garlic:
This one is marked with a heart in the book so I really liked it. If I remember correctly it was a quick and lovely side.
Mapo Doufu:
That one was good!
Now I have all recipes covered I've ever tried. I really need to use this book more again, so many lovely recipes still to try out...
sweet and sour dipping sauce- I made this for some sweet and sour chicken balls... you know the battered and deep fried stuff. I thought it was okay... an okay substitution. I must say i prefer the neon orangey red stuff you get from a chinese take out
mapo doufu- YUMM! i totally underestimated this dish judging by the ingredients. I didnt expect much. But it was sooo goood. I have to agree with the other poster. I love the soft texture of it. It was something new to me and very pleasant. I had this with boiled white rice and broccoli.... oh and i also added peas to the dish. Peas are a nice addition to it :)
oh and if were getting super technical.. subbed red pepper flakes, added vegan worchester sauce and a bit of sushi rice vingegar and a touch of brown sugar sweetener. :)
baked seitan balls- Just made these strange little things. chewy,crispy in places, small, cute and quite interesting. i added soy sauce and chicken seasoning just to add a little flavour.
I've not used these in any dishes yet i just tried them straight out the oven.
Not sure what im gonna put them with yet...
Kind of want to try the deep fried version, as is used in the crispy sweet and sour pork recipe..
I just want something crispy on the outside and moist on the inside to add to this jar of kung po sauce ive got... determined to recreate the kung PO chilli mock chicken from my local chinese.
The dude that owns it knows me as the regular veggie girl now... i eat wayyy to much chinese takeout haha ::)

The Martha Graham Dance Company will perform The EVE Project at Jacob's Pillow in Becket, Mass. from August 14 -17, followed by a site-specific version at The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass. on Sunday, August 18.

Reggie Wilson's "POWER," premiered on July 10 at Jacob's Pillow, is a feast for the eyes and ears.
The Brooklyn-based choreographer and his Fist and Heel Performance Group performed the hour-long work before an appreciative audience in the Pillow's Doris Duke Theatre last Sunday, July 14. Wilson created the work, commissioned by the Pillow, during two residencies at the Pillow Lab and by researching Shaker history at the Berkshires' Hancock Shaker Village and elsewhere.
Almost as ephemeral as dance itself are the costumes the dancers wear. Lovingly and intricately constructed out of materials that move and flow with the dancers' bodies, they are often put away into storage after a performance is over, never to be seen again.
That changes this summer, with a new exhibit at the Williams College of Art of costumes and other artifacts from Jacob's Pillow's earliest years. Most of the items have been stored in antique trunks for over 50 years and will be on display for the first time.
One of the most intriguing artistic events of the summer in our region will be the world premiere of "Four Quartets" at Bard Summerscape a new dance collaboration among three of the most interesting modern artists working today. Choreographer Pam Tanowitz, composer Kaija Saariaho and artist Brice Marden have created a piece based on T.S. Eliot's great "Four Quartets," the first such performance to be authorized by Eliot's estate.
Summer in the Berkshires wouldn't be complete without at least a few trips to Jacob's Pillow. Just about an hour from Lakeville, in Becket, Mass., the Pillow's lovely campus, multiple stages, exhibitions, restaurant and cafe, and rich history make for a satisfying all-day outing, well worth the drive.
Culture in the Berkshires and the Hudson Valley doesn't get fully underway until June, but at Kaatsbaan in Tivoli, the dance season has been going full tilt since February, with much more to come in April and May. The weekend of April 14, the dynamic young company MorDance performs, led by choroegrapher Morgan McEwan. There are still few women-led companies, and McEwan is starting to get some traction for her classical ballet-based but very modern work. Free open rehearsal Thursday April 12, performance ($10 tickets) Sunday April 15.
Jacob's Pillow, the Berkshires host to nationally and internationally acclaimed dance companies for 85 summers, is expanding to add year-round programming at its Becket campus, as well as an intensive community-based dance program in Pittsfield. Pamela Tatge has been the executive director for only 18 months, but she's leading the venerated venue into some dramatic changes. A just-announced $300,000 grant from the Ford Foundation will help launch Pittsfield Moves, led by choreographer Paloma McGregor.
Bard College's impressive SummerScape season — which features seven weeks of music, opera, theater, dance, film and cabaret — opened last weekend with the fantastic festival debut of New York City Ballet MOVES, a rotating roster of the company's dancers and musicians.
Summer in the Berkshires is overflowing with options for recreation, entertainment and artistic experiences, more so every year. Dance lovers have to travel a little farther, but whether you prefer classical ballet, edgy urban dance, big names or undiscovered treasure, there are plenty of options.
The Olga Dunn Dance Company will perform holiday shows at the Great Barrington Train Station, 46 Castle St., on Saturday, Dec. 17, at 5 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. Call 413-528-9674.

Beautiful organic necklace made entirely by hand. Black pendant and clasps in tagua nut on a horse hair cord.
This fine necklace was created by Taguarte, an Ecuadorian business named after Tagua, a palm tree nut that grows in the skirts of the Ecuadorian highlands at 56 feet above sea level. Tagua has an incredible resemblance to elephant ivory which makes it an ideal raw material for the design of fine jewelry.
There is no environmental impact in the use of Tagua. After completing its maturation cycle, Tagua seed falls naturally to the ground, where it's collected by hand. In addition to Tagua, this fine necklace was crafted with horsehair, which is cut from the animal's tail. It naturally grows back pretty much as human hair, causing the least damage to animals.
Under a fair trade framework, Taguarte works hand in hand with small associations of artisans from every corner of the country to obtain the natural materials used in their designs. This way Taguarte honors the hard work of dozens of communities. Horse hair for instance is worked by women who belong to the association of artisans of Guangopolo.
Pendant: 1.57 x 0.79 inches / 4 x 2 cm
Necklace length: 18.5039 inches / 47 cm

BIRDS RUN -- A residence on Keats Road in northwest Guernsey County was reportedly destroyed by fire Sunday (Dec. 27) morning despite the efforts of firefighters from five area departments.

Based on exhaustive research interviews, Fog of Sex brings to the screen the real life testimonies of students currently working within the UK sex industry.
Three years in the making, this documentary drama recreates the stories and experiences of nine female sex workers who balance a life in Higher Education, with life as a sex worker. To preserve anonymity the student sex workers are played by actors. All the dialogue however is verbatim, drawn directly from the interview transcripts. This frank and constantly surprising film does not judge and does not take sides - it presents the stories 'as they were told' and leaves room for the audience to decide.
Fog of Sex is directed by BAFTA award winning filmmaker Christopher Morris. The film is entirely researched, produced and filmed by staff, graduates and students of Newport Film School. The film is made as part of The Student Sex Work Project, a lottery funded research study run by Swansea University.

Ex-Dytecna staff find their future with Morgan cars
A FORMER Dytecna worker who lost her job when the company went into administration four months ago, is now looking to the future after finding a new position with Morgan Motor Company.
Hollie Norman, who had worked for the firm for 15 years, was among 60 staff made redundant as a result of the decision.
Recognising the significance of the situation, Malvern Hills District Council acted swiftly to issue a rallying call to companies to help find new jobs locally for the highly skilled Dytecna workforce.
In total 19 businesses in Malvern came forward offering 27 job opportunities collectively. Among them was Morgan Motor Company which has now recruited Hollie as a production planner after she spotted the job advertised online.
Hollie said: "It was all new to me having to look for a job after such a long time and it was a bit daunting at first. The help Malvern Hills District Council offered was very useful and I sent out a lot of speculative CVs based on those job opportunities.
"I've been here about a month now and I'm really enjoying working for Morgan. There's a lot to learn but I'm getting there."
Steve Morris, Morgan's managing director said: "A car is a complex thing to make but Hollie brings a fresh pair of eyes and the opportunity to interrogate our processes and look at the the way we assemble and manufacture our vehicles. Plus, it's always nice to employ local people as and when you can."
Simon Smith, head of economic development at Malvern Hills District Council, added: "The response to our call to help keep the skills of Dytecna staff in the district was overwhelming, with Morgan Cars being the first to come forward to say they wanted to help. It's fantastic news that thanks to Morgan we are keeping Hollie's valued skills here in the district to keep our economy thriving."
A list of local job opportunities is already available on the Malvern Hills District Council website and Dytecna staff are urged to visit the jobs page at www.malvernhills.gov.uk/jobs to find out which employers are recruiting.

HTC Explorer (HTC Pico) | Android Power at Affordable Price
HTC Explorer is for you if you are a first time android buyer or if you have a powerful classy looking 4G phone and you often loose your phones while partying hard. HTC Explorer is an entry level android smartphone which has average hardware specs but has loads of features. This is probably the first entry level phone to officially have android 2.3 (Gingerbread). This is surprising too as HTC Explorer has 600 MHz processor, many hardliners will doubt about HTC Explorer's ability to run Gingerbread smoothly with paltry 600 MHz processor but for most cases this device do run Gingerbread pretty well.

- Astronomy Colloquium
- Here be dragons :The Dynamic Radio Sky
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 4421 Sterling Hall
- Speaker: Geoffrey Bower, University of California - Berkeley
- Abstract: Radio variability probes a wide range of astrophysical phenomena from the solar system to the early Universe including black holes, neutron stars, gravitational wave sources, and relativistic shocks from collapsing stars. Radio follow-up of events discovered at optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray wavelengths demonstrates a rich phenomenology but we lack a systematic and sensitive view of radio variability. Our efforts in recent years with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) have provided the beginnings of an unbiased exploration on time scales from milliseconds to decades. Powered by development of unique digital instrumentation, new algorithms, and new survey strategies, our surveys have defined the shape of next generation radio telescopes and surveys. In particular, these surveys are shaping our understanding of radio supernovae, tidal disruption events, and gravitational-wave sources. Planned surveys with newly commissioned national facilities such as the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA), the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP), and the South African MeerKAT telescopes coupled with the development of new instrumentation will extend our reach into new parameter space.

ATLANTA, Ga.—Senior forward Courtney Hurt continues to add to her list of accomplishments as a VCU Ram. On Wednesday, Hurt was named to the 2011-12 Naismith Women's Early-Season Watch List by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. The list recognizes the top 50 women's basketball players in the country.
The Atlanta Tipoff Club based selections on player performances during the 2010-11 season and player expectations for this year. Last February, Hurt was named to the Naismith Trophy Midseason Top 30 list, the first player in VCU history to be recognized by the board.
Last year, the Conyers, Ga., native posted the nation's best rebounding average with 12.4 rpg, and led the country in double-doubles with 25. She also ranked second in the NCAA in scoring, averaging 23.2 ppg. Her offensive explosion put her on track to break VCU's single-season scoring record, tallying 622 points through 27 games. She finished the season with 720 points. With a current total of 1,474 points, Hurt ranks sixth all-time at VCU and needs just 277 points to surpass the record.
Hurt also holds the Colonial Athletic Association's single-season records for double-doubles and rebounding. She broke the double-doubles mark last spring at CAA-foe Georgia State, posting her 23rd of the season.
Hurt is joined on this year's watch list by fellow CAA members Elena Delle Donne (Delaware) and Shante Evans (Hofstra).
After naming the top 30 players to watch in late February, the Atlanta Tipoff Club Board of Selectors will vote for the four finalists in March. The winner of the 2012 Naismith Trophy will be announced at the 2012 NCAA Women's Final Four in Denver.
VCU opens Colonial Athletic Association play against Northeastern on Dec. 4 at the Verizon Wireless Arena. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m.

(alternative title: look at Megapope's totally embarrassing mold lines that he failed to get rid of on his first tactical squad that are now here for everyone to see, sadly taking away from his awesome decal application skills)
Well my long suffering nerdlings, I hate to break this to you but applying nice looking transfers is almost 100% guaranteed not to net you any sex in life. I am however going to show you some tips, because I'm pretty damn happy about how much better my models look now, and I feel this sort of thing should be passed around.
Even if it won't get you laid.
Varnish! Gloss and matt. I use these particular ones because, well, they were the first ones I laid eyes on when I was in places looking for varnish.
A brush! And a knife! Tweezers could also be useful but I get by without them to be honest, and I'm a 6 foot plus, ruggedly handsome ape man with fingers like German sausages. So if you don't have any tweezers don't sweat it.
Transfers! Well duh. If you're following along with this tutorial and don't have any transfers then frankly you should step away from the computer now and go read a book instead. One with cardboard pages that are chew resistant.
Forgeworld do an awesome range of A4 sized transfer sheets for a bunch of space marine chapters. Well worth the money in my opinion, given the huge range of options the sheet gives hobbyists in making their space soldiers and vehicles look awesome.These should be easily available from your local modelling store. GW doesn't sell it, but any generic hobby model train and plane selling place should do.
Above all else, you need this. This is the magic pixie fairy dust that will turn your crappy, painted over transfers into professional looking pieces of sex that will make your miniatures so scorchingly awesome that your opponents will take one look and slowly back away, their steps squelching wetly in the puddles of their own incontinence.
Above all else, you need this. This is the magic pixie fairy dust that will turn your crappy, painted over transfers into professional looking pieces of sex that will make your miniatures so scorchingly awesome that your opponents will take one look and slowly back away, their steps squelching wetly in the puddles of their own incontinence.
Optional extra: an evil looking cat that dribbles a bit and walks into trees.
So first thing you want to do is apply gloss varnish to the area that you're putting the decal on. Make sure the whole section (shoulder pad, knee, etc) of the model is varnished, as you'll be going over it a few times and it'll become apparent very quickly if you've only varnished a patch. The varnish should be dry before sticking any decals on!
Cut the transfers out, and trim away as much of the surrounding clear space as you possibly can. This photo is kinda hard to make out, but I've chosen Ultramarine symbols to start out with. I painted over the old crappy looking ones on my tactical squad, having decided to bring them up to speed with the better looking models.
Put the decal onto the sponge! It will quickly darken as it gets wet. Phwoar. While the decal is getting all deliciously moist, brush a few dabs of Microset (the blue bottle) onto the area. It's possible to just use the stronger mix, Microsol (the red bottle), but I find that moving the decal around when it's too floppy and partially dissolved is a real pain in the tubes, so Microset is better for this stage.
With the care and precision of a shark ballerina ninja, brush the transfer off the backing. It should come away pretty easily after it's time on the sponge. Spend half an hour swearing as you keep accidentally brushing it a millimetre past where you actually want it.
Finally the decal is in place! See how it sits there merrily. Alas however the Ultramarine symbol is only slightly less stupidly shaped than the tactical symbol when it comes to sitting well on a curved shoulder pad. If you're dealing with anything remotely similar you'll immediately find that bits and corners of the transfer will insist on sticking up in the air no matter how hard you try to get it to lay flush on the shoulder pad.
Now, this awkward not sitting right stage is the part that Games Workshop seems to think doesn't exist when you read through their online decal tutorial. Theirs was basically written by Satan to goad people into murderous rampages, and is along the lines of 'cut transfer out roughly with spoon, slap some water on it, shove it in the vague direction of your marine and panel 4 it looks damn perfect.' Seriously GW, why do you spin this web of lies?
I however am a thoroughly trustworthy individual who helps old ladies across the street** and I'm here to help you. So now we come to the second part of our chemical assault, the red bottle.
So I come back to it as it dries out and becomes less crinkly, every now and then just carefully helping the process by smoothing out a stubborn crinkly edge with a brush. It helps to use something with a bit of shape, not a great big dry brushing one with no control.
Go over the transfer with gloss varnish to seal the little sod in and to make sure that the ravening grubby fingers of the damned don't damage it. Once that's dried, go over it a final time with matt varnish, to take the obnoxiously glaring shine away. And you're done!
Pro tip: make sure the decal is thoroughly dried and set before varnishing. I've found that bits of partially dissolved transfer edging tends to come away in nasty little clumps and mix in with the varnish if it's still in the process of setting properly. I tend to wait for a good half hour to an hour after I'm done mucking about with the decal.
And here is an EXCITING MONTAGE of a bunch of my boys in blue looking spiffy with their transfers all done and stuff. Now get out there and go crazy hog wild! Put decals on everything!
* Both girl and guy nerds have these. Look it up, it's science.
** This is a complete lie.

Following your amputation you will meet with various health professionals, such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists who will help you plan for your discharge and long term rehabilitation needs.
Your Physiotherapist will go through exercises that you will need to continue at home to ensure that you do not get blood clots and to improve the flow of blood while you are recovering, also the exercises will help strengthen the new muscles you will be using when wearing prostheses.
Occupational therapists will visit you at home to see if there are any aids or appliances that will make things more accessible, such as a shower chair, wheelchair ramp or stairlift. If any modification are required to your home then a referral will be made to social services. Social Services will also assess if there are any additional support that is required such as meals on wheels, home carers etc.. and will talk to you about using the direct payments scheme.
It can take several months before you are ready to be fitted for a prosthetic limb, so it is likely that you will be provided with a wheelchair (if you are a lower limb amputee), to get around in.
You should also be provided with the details of your local amputee support group, such as AIM. Support from other amputee user groups can be invaluable, please ask you prosthetic provider for any support or user groups they may be connected with.

So you want to pursue a career in aviation and it has led you to searching the internet for answers, answers to questions such as how do I choose the flight school or aviation program that is right for me? Airplanes, Helicopters, UASs, Airport Management? From experience, I can tell you that making a decision on what aviation program to attend can be challenging and it took me a few tries before I got it right. So after a decade spent developing my career in aviation, here are my thoughts, and a checklist, on how you can choose the right training program for your needs. When you've developed your own checklist, go to www.aviationschoolsonline.com to find your flight schools!
Your Checklist to Choosing the Right School for You
- Set Goals
- Find a Mentor
- Know What You Are Getting Into
- Part 61 or Part 141
- Make a List of a Few Schools, Visit Each
- Take an Into Flight
- Shortlist Your Favorite Programs, Learn About Them
- Set Your Plan For Training
Set Goals
Do some self-reflections and determine what your goals are for your career in aviation. This may sound like a canned answer and intuitive first step, but you'd be surprised how many people move forward in life without any rhyme or reason. Having your goals set for and by yourself helps you maintain the determination and discipline needed to accept and conquer the challenges that wait ahead. Trust me, there will be challenges, just keep your focus on the goals you've set and they will help you push through to the other side and achieve your success.
Find a Mentor
This may be easier said than done, but I believe this is very important in trying to make decisions in life that will ultimately
determine your entire trajectory throughout your future. In this context I would recommend attempting to find someone who has already pursued a path similar to the one you're considering, ask an A&P mechanic, a current bush pilot, or an air traffic controller how they got to where they are and what advice they may have. Without necessarily regretting it, I may have been better off had I pursued the guidance of a mentor when I joined the Air Force rather than accepting the job I thought sounded the "coolest" to my 17 year-old self. There are always decisions in life that can benefit from being well thought out and the advice and guidance of a mentor will always prove valuable.
Know what you're getting yourself into
Know what a career like the one you want to pursue in aviation may entail. Hopefully a mentor can help you discover the details, but keep in mind that learning how to fly, although fun, requires studying and knowing the material in depth. I've seen and heard of many students that have put on a pair of aviators, shown up to their lessons with the excitement that comes with jumping in the cockpit but failed to commit to opening the books and thus couldn't pass their check rides and move forward. Be aware and be ready to be the best student you can be.
Part 61 or Part 141
Know the difference between a Part 61 and Part 141 flight school and determine which is a better fit for you and your goals. There is plenty of information online to fully explain the differences between a Part 61 and Part 141 flight school, but to summarize, a Part 141 program will include a more structured approach with syllabi and FAA record keeping while a Part 61 will allow for some flexibility in your flight training.
Make a list of a few schools and visit each
Most schools, especially the ones represented here on AviationSchoolsOnline.com would be more than happy to host you for a tour to check out their program. You should have the chance to talk to students and flight instructors to get a feel for the program and get specific and valuable input from those who've already experienced the program you're considering. A tour also gives you a chance to see the facilities of the organization, the fleet of aircraft the company is running, and any extra training aides such as flight training devices (FTDs), simulators, weather and flight planning equipment and whatever else you may desire or require.
Take an Intro flight
Be sure to take and introduction flight. Whether you've grown up in the cockpit with a family member or have never actually been in a single engine general aviation aircraft, it's in your best interest to go up for an introduction flight with a school you're considering. It can expose you to the exact environment you will be spending the next few hundred hours of your training in and help you in your decision making process. It may also expose you to whether or not you have the constitution needed to be a pilot, don't be discouraged if you get queasy the first time, but realize whether its just your body adjusting or if you truly do not enjoy the experience as much as you had hoped (although highly unlikely).
Short list your favorite programs and Learn about them
Do your research and set a plan. Learn everything you can about the programs you want to select by doing your own research beyond the student services representative. It's always prudent to research companies you want to work for and programs you want to train at. Be sure not to get side tracked by one disgruntled person who may have failed out and has a bone to pick on an arbitrary forum, but do aggregated research to ensure the program has a positive reputation within the industry and community and will be an asset to you as you move forward in your career.
Set Your Plan for Training
Finally, set a plan for what you want out of your training, what certificates you want to pursue, what companies you may want to apply to and use this information to assist you in your final decision.
We've all wondered at some point, where should I go, how much will it cost, how long will it take, when we're up against a decision such as this. Fortunately, you're not the first nor will you be the last to make a decision on what program to attend. Making a decision such as this will always be a challenge, but hopefully following these steps, the resources found within AviationSchoolsOnline.com and your ingenuity and determination will be an asset to you in your pursuit of a decision and a career in aviation.
Good Luck and Happy Flying!

Risk Management Priorities Change Given Job Responsibilities
Risk management is all about perspective, not just of the company, but of each individual working at the company. The answer to what's valuable and at risk is different depending on who you speak with.
At this year's "Risk Management Smackdown" panel at the 2012 RSA Conference, two of the panelists had switched jobs since last year's smackdown and as a result have a new perspective on risk management, explained David Mortman (@mortman), Chief Security Architect for enStratus and moderator of the "Risk Management Smackdown."
Definition of "risk management" changes given an individual's job responsibility which offers a different perspective on the business and what the risks for the company are, said Mortman.
The goal of risk management is to see and value your vulnerabilities. But you also have to consider who would exploit these vulnerabilities and how likely are they to be attacked.
Modularize your risk management effort
To move from a theoretical discussion of risk management and to put it into practice, there is no quick answer. Of course you need to just start and do it. But it takes time and discipline to pull it off. Find a specific area and do a test pilot, such as your ecommerce platform or website. Don't try to do everything at once. It would be crazy, said Mortman.

The Game: Choose either the Dark or the Light Side of the Force and battle enemy forces in this galactic version of chess that takes place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. (Software Toolworks, 1993)
Memories: In the late '80s, Interplay's Battle Chess reinvented the computer chess genre. In Battle Chess, each chess piece was portrayed by a character on a three dimensional chessboard. The game followed the same rules as the classic board game – the only difference being when one piece captured another, it was visually portrayed on screen through light-hearted animations. Characters clobbered one another in humorous ways throughout the game, and the game's sense of humor along with its stunning graphics and animation launched an entire wave of similarly styled chess games.
One such game was Star Wars Chess, by Software Toolworks. Like all the other Battle Chess clones (Terminator 2 Chess, Cyber Chess, Chess Maniac Five Billion and One, etc), Star Wars Chess replaced standard issue chess pieces with recognizable characters, this time from Lucas' franchise. Each side (light and dark) has unique characters: Luke and the Emperor serve as kings, Princess Leia and Darth Vader act as queens, an army of R2 units and stormtroopers represent pawns, and so on. Although the game's graphical mode is quite dated, the characters themselves are quite detailed and gamers should have no problem recognizing their favorite trilogy characters.
Most graphical chess games suffered from a few common problems, and Star Wars Chess is no exception. The first problem is that, while it is simple to tell what chess piece a character represents before the game starts, after pieces begin moving it becomes more difficult to remember. Is Chewbacca a rook or a knight? What about Boba Fett, or Tusken Raiders? Chess taxes your brain hard enough without having to constantly try and figure out which piece is what!
A second problem Star Wars Chess seems to have inherited from Battle Chess is painfully slow load times. When one piece takes another, first the animation of one piece walking is loaded and displayed, then the animated fight scene must be loaded and displayed, and finally the AI must make its next move. (Also worth noting is that each "capture" only has one animation, taking the cutesy animations from entertaining to boring in light speed.) Chess isn't known for being a particularly fast-paced game, but Star Wars Chess moves like space-molasses, especially while waiting for the computer to move.
And speaking of the game's AI, it's not particularly good. Even moderately experienced players should have no problems making bantha poo-doo out of the computer's defenses. Star Wars Chess does support two-player mode, but you'll have to have to find another die-hard Star Wars fan with a lot of free time on his or her hands to complete even one full game.
Star Wars Chess is only recommended for die-hard Star Wars fans who are also computer literate. It'll take some work to get this game to run on modern computers. The game refused to launch under Windows XP, and I had to install DOSBox (a DOS emulator) and spend several minutes configuring it to get Star Wars Chess to work. The game ran so slowly that I often thought it had locked up, and the game's interface is so sparse that I had trouble figuring out what piece I had selected, or occasionally which side of the board I was playing.
The Force is not strong with this one. Not even a little bit.

The current study aimed to develop a competency-based framework designed to assist elementary school teachers in their efforts to help bullied children. Drawing from extant research, Gregus and Cavell (2017) created an initial draft of the framework that contained 25 components representing a mix of knowledge, attitudes, and skills. In Study 1, I obtained input on the framework from practicing elementary school teachers (n = 26) and researchers who study school bullying (n = 14). Teacher input was gathered via a series of focus groups and researchers responded using an online survey. Both teachers and researchers viewed the framework positively and agreed it offers a potentially useful guide for practicing teachers. Thematic analysis of focus group content revealed themes related to knowledge and training about school bullying, beliefs about school bullying, strategies to help bullied children, and challenges teachers face in trying to help bullied children. In Study 2, I asked elementary school teachers (n = 115) to rate the utility and practicality of the competencies as well as their own level of competence in four domains: knowledge, attitudes, foundational skills, and focused skills. Teachers viewed the competencies as essential and realistic. Teachers' self-ratings of knowledge, attitudes, and skills suggested a reasonably high level of perceived competence. Teachers with higher scores on a measure of self-efficacy in managing school bullying reported higher levels of knowledge, stronger anti-bullying attitudes, and more frequent use of foundational and focused skills. Teachers with more anti-bullying training reported stronger anti-bullying attitudes and more frequent use of focused skills. Teachers with stronger levels of school connectedness reported greater knowledge about bullying. I discuss implications of these findings and the potential for using the framework as a foundation for teacher training and evaluation.

LMS Self-Certification & Certificate Generation
Spark LMS can create certificates for users as they complete modules and you can customise the design to your own requirements. Fields can be grabbed from both the user record and the module and automatically populate the certificate.
You can have different certificates for different modules, departments, etc. and you can have them automatically emailed to user, if you wish to do so.
3rd Party Certification LMS
We have many base modules, certified by 3rd parties.
If certification is provided by a 3rd party organisation, then the results from training completion can be sent to the awarding body automatically. In some cases, the results can also be returned into the system, automatically notifying the user as required. In other cases, the 3rd party generated the certificate and it is sent directly to the trainee.

I absolutely love Milka chocolate and especially this flavor, because it is the first one I ever tasted from Milka. My godfather is German and every time I got gifts from him and his wife, it was always something special and exciting. One time I got a cow shaped, funny looking Alpine milk chocolate bar that was filled with milk cream. It was heavenly; I have never ever in my life tasted anything like that. It was like symphony to my taste buds, so sweet and so fulfilling! I remember I used to carefully save that cow shaped chocolate bar for a long time, because I did not want the amazing experience to come to an end. I always thought that when I finish that chocolate bar, I can always ask for my godfather to bring me another one. But unfortunately my godfather does not live in Germany anymore and I live in a country where they do not sell a lot of Milka chocolate bars, so I have been searching and searching for the perfect place to buy these Milka chocolate bars, especially the Alpine milk chocolate bar. This website is a savior for me, because finally I can purchase my favourite chocolate bars whenever I feel like it!

|The invite.
|The Kizsport cheerful walls didn't really match the whole somber mood that I wanted to portray with my dessert table, but I didn't think that they would allow me to paint the walls grey :P
|Personalized place mats, light saber napkins and R2D2 cups in action.
|Darth Vader and Stormtrooper masks for all guests. Masks from GM Klang.

|A closeup of the layout.
|Starting from the left - Stormtrooper marshmallows. I drew these individually, using edible black food marker.

|Three batches of mini macarons (and never enough).
|The middle of the table. Personalized Kit Kat too.
|Hubby's pride and joy - the Millenium Falcon. Read about this epic birthday cake, here! Hubby wanted the cake to look like it's afloat on a desert, so I slathered the cake board to edge with liquid glucose (as adhesive), and covered it with crushed graham crackers to look like sand. Pipe supports were used to hold the cake up.
|I love how the Imperial Army stood guard in front of the birthday cake. All figurines purchased from GM Klang.
|Proof that the Millenium Falcon was actually a cake!
|Fondant R2D2 cookies. It took me nearly half a night to cut those small individual fondant pieces...

|On the floor beside the Stormtrooper standee, laid our BB8 pinata, and a jet fighter which was a birthday present from Kizsport to Aiden.
|Aiden whacking BB8, while Darth Vader looks on. Yes, I made the pinata stick to look like a light saber too!

How to Send Flowers to a Girl
Explore this Article Your reason for sending flowers Selecting the flowers Sending the flowers Show 1 more... Show less... Ask a Question Related Articles
wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, 17 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has also been viewed 20,307 times. Learn more...
Whether it's a romantic, supportive or friendly gesture, most girls will be happy to receive flowers.
Part 1
Your reason for sending flowers
1Consider why you're sending flowers to a girl. There are lots of good reasons to send flowers but there are also some not-so-good ones, so you'll need to get sorted on the message you send along with those flowers.
- Good reasons for sending flowers: To express your love; to say Happy Birthday; to say Congratulations; to express support for exams/work interviews/try-outs, etc.; to express sympathy for a loss; to say you miss her; to woo her; to ask for forgiveness, etc.
- Times when not to send flowers: To try to woo back an ex who has made it absolutely clear you're both through; where the girl has made it clear she hates flowers; she's allergic to flowers; when you can't afford flowers.
Part 2
Selecting the flowers
1Consider sending her the flowers she likes the most. If you don't know this yet, ask someone who is close to her, like her mom, a bestie or a sibling. Ask that person to keep it quiet.
2Send her flowers in her favorite color. This is a good choice when you really don't know what flowers she likes (and you can't find out) or her favorite flowers are out of season or too expensive.
3Send flowers which have a specific meaning. Many flowers have a meaning. You can find more out about this by reading How to express yourself using the language of flowers.
4Consider fragrance. If the girl likes scents, look for flowers with a lovely fragrance. Ask the florist for help. Commonly liked fragrant flowers include freesias, roses, frangipani, gardenia and jasmine.
5Choose where you'll source the flowers from. There are various options here:
- Visit a local florist. This has the benefit of being able to talk to the florist for advice and you'll be able to see the actual flowers and arrangements.
- Look at online florists. You'll be able to see images of what they send, along with prices and delivery fees.
- Pick your own. You could pick flowers from your own garden and make your own arrangement. This is a lovely gesture that she'll likely find very touching.
Part 3
Sending the flowers
1Decide how to send the flowers. It's standard to have them delivered by a florist or specialist deliverer. However, you can deliver them yourself, either by leaving them at a place where she'll get them but not showing yourself, or turning up and surprising her in person.
2Consider where you'll send the flowers. You could send them to her workplace, her home, or to a place you know she'll be at for an activity such as exercising at the gym.
- Consider sending her flowers if she's on an extended business trip and you're missing her. It'll remind her how much you care. You'll need to find her hotel address.
- Sending flowers to her workplace is a lovely way of showing you care; all of her coworkers will be curious, which adds to the thrill.
Part 4
Adding a message
1Include a card or message note with the flowers. Keep it short and sweet, getting to the point quickly and signing it off (unless you're doing it for Valentine's Day as a secret admirer). Examples include:
- "I miss you!" Love, Fred
- "Thinking of you, hope all is going well." Love, Sam
- "Roses are red, violets are blue, but these daffodils remind me of the sunshine of you." Love, Corey
- "Sorry to learn about your dog, Max. Hope he'll be better soon." Hugs, Jeff
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters left
Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.Submit
- If sending flowers interstate or overseas, online purchasing is often the best. However, always look for a reputable florist with good feedback, so that you can be sure you're getting quality service and good flowers.
- Consider adding something to the flowers if it's a birthday or the holiday season, such as chocolates or a gift.
- Some girls prefer chocolates, candies or a good video game over flowers. Use what you know about the girl to guide your choices.
- Don't be afraid to pick flowers on a walk together and present them to her as a bunch. It's not exactly "sending" them but it's a very sweet and touching gesture.
- If your girl cares about sustainability, consider buying the flowers from local source, such as a farmers market or a florist specializing in locally grown flowers.
- Be aware that unless the boundaries are really clear, such as for a bereavement or sibling to sibling, some girls will assume romantic intentions when they receive a bunch of flowers from a guy, even where your intentions are not so inclined. You may need to use the note card to make it really clear, avoiding any mention of the word "love".
- If in a romantic relationship, be aware that sending flowers early on in a relationship might cause a girl to think you're going too fast too soon.

Published at Monday, December 02nd, 2019 - 05:00:07 AM. Coffee Table. By Denice Leger.
Finding the best wooden coffee tables for your home involves certain criteria and steps you should follow to guarantee you pick the very best one. One of the first steps is to look around at the furniture you have situated in the room you plan on putting the coffee table in.
Whilst these are not too attractive to look at they are a great way to prevent accidents and only need to be used for a relatively small time whilst your child is in their toddler phase. Similarly there are now "bumpers" available that can be run along the edges of any wooden coffee table. These are heavily padded lengths of material that fix to the surface to prevent injury. They can later be removed when no longer needed.

Amazon has ordered five original series, including the political comedy Alpha House starring John Goodman.
Amazon Studios made all of its 14 pilots available for free back in April, and used feedback from Amazon and LOVEFiLM customers to help decide which pilots would be among the company's first original series.
Watch all the Amazon pilots here
"We are thrilled at the enthusiastic customer response to our first original pilots," Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. "We built Amazon Studios so that customers could help decide which stories would make the very best movies and TV shows. It's exciting to see the process in motion, doing exactly what we set out to do. The success of this first set of pilots has given us the push to try this approach with even more shows—this is just the beginning."
Alpha House is about four misfit senators who become unlikely roommates when they rent a house together in Washington DC. The series stars Goodman, Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy and Mark Consuelos, and is written by Pulitzer-Prize winning Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau. Elliot Webb and Jonathan Alter will produce.
Betas stars Ed Begley Jr., Jon Daly, Joe Dinicol, Charlie Saxton as four friends attempting to make it rich in Silicon Valley with their new mobile social networking app. Michael Lehmann will direct and produce along with Emmy winners Alan Freedland and Alan Cohen and Academy Award nominee Michael London.
Annebots is a kids' program about a young scientist who creates three robot helpers to assist her scientific experiments in the back of her dad's junkyard.

Creative Galaxy, from Blue's Clues creator Angela Santomero, is an animated interactive art adventure series, designed to inspire kids' creative thinking through crafts, story, music and dance.
Tumbleaf, targeted to preschoolers, is set in a whimsical land where a small blue fox named Fig discovers adventure, friendship and love around every bend.
In a TVGuide.com poll, Alpha House, Zombieland and Onion News Empire were favorites among Amazon's 14 pilots. The latter two were not picked up.
Episodes of the series will air exclusively on Prime Instant Video later this year and in early 2014.

Schatz: Earmarks are making a comeback
Remember when Congress said it was eliminating earmark spending? Absurd wastes of taxpayer money through pork barrel projects were going to be a thing of the past. Not so fast. These were politicians making those promises.
According to Citizens Against Government Waste President Tom Schatz, earmarks – even if that is not what lawmakers are calling them – are making a comeback. The difference? Now members of Congress do not have to attach their names to the items they slide into federal appropriations bills. If anything, the system is worse than it was before.
A few examples:
Defense officials say they did not request the $1 billion spent on a single Arleigh-Burke Class Destroyer. Someone in Congress told the Pentagon they needed another ship.
Ever heard of the Bilateral Economic Assistance Democracy Fund? It is meant for tasks such as "supporting democratic institutions in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union." Even the Obama Administration has said it is not necessary, has not asked for more money, and wants to eliminate it. This year, Congress gave it $150.5 million.
What about breast cancer research? Certainly a worthy way to spend taxpayer money. It is reasonable to assume money for that kind of research would be directed toward the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or some other health-related federal agency. Nope. Congress directed $120 million this year to the Defense Department, for peer-reviewed breast cancer research.
Based on items in the CAGW list, Congress approved more than $5 billion in what used to be called earmark spending this year. That is nearly $1 billion more than last year. Yet, "There are no names of legislators, no list or chart of earmarks, and limited information on where and how the money will be spent," according to CAGW.
Congress has made it easier to waste our money, not harder. Surprised?
We thought not.

JISH, Israel (CNS) — Aramaic language classes
begun four years ago at Jish Elementary School have
changed the way youngsters experience the weekly
Before, I used to wonder how I would get
through the one-and-a-half hours at church. Sometimes we
would even laugh at the how the priest was praying,
recalled Carla Issa, 9, who has studied Aramaic at the
school for two years. But now I understand what I am
saying. I love it.
Sunday Mass at St. Maron Parish is partially
recited in Aramaic. But Issa and friends also have found
another use for the ancient language: They sometimes use
it when they pass notes to each other in class.
Some 110 students are now studying the language
at the elementary school as a result of years of effort by
village resident Shadi Khalloul, 37, chairman of the
Aramaic Christian nongovernmental organization in
This is our Maronite Aramaic heritage, he said on a recent visit to the school. We are hoping to revive (Aramaic) as a spoken language. Hopefully the pupils will use it among themselves to communicate with each other. It is our forefathers language. It is the language of Jesus, we should not forget that, especially the Aramaic Galilee dialect.
Spoken Aramaic, the root language of all Semitic
languages, is still preserved in parts of Syria, Iraq and
Lebanon — and even by elderly Jews originating from a
region of Kurdistan — but the spoken language has been virtually lost in Galilee, where about 10,000 Maronite
Catholics use it solely for prayer. During their daily
interactions, they speak Arabic.
In all, there are between half a million and 1
million people worldwide who still use Aramaic as their
vernacular language, while another 15 million use it only
as a holy language, said Khalloul.
In Jish some older residents like Issa's
grandfather, who helped her with her homework when she
started studying, have retained their traditional language,
but most Maronites of the village only hear Aramaic on
Aramaic is taught regularly as part of religion
classes by Father Bishara Suleiman, but it was not until
the priest offered a three-month course for adults in 2006
that Khalloul, who had recently returned to Jish after
graduating from the University of Nevada, became hooked
on the language. A small group of adult students
continued studying on their own following the conclusion
of the course and began connecting with other Aramaic
communities in Sweden and the Netherlands.
Khalloul initiated his own after-school classes for
youngsters, then started to negotiate with the Israeli
Ministry of Education to include Aramaic as part of the
formal curriculum.
The ministry now provides funds for the classes
through the eighth grade as part of any enrichment
program already in place. For now, it is the only such
project in Israel. A parallel art class is offered during the same period, but almost 90 percent of the Christian
children choose to attend the Aramaic classes, said school
principal Reem Khatieb-Zuabi, a Muslim woman.
She said classes have proven to be a matter of
pride for the school, and even some Muslim students are
taking the class.

A management majors backpack is essential to their day-to-day life. Hopping around from class to class this major goes from business writing to statistics, these students have a plethora of items from multiple notebooks to external hard drives, management students are always prepared.
Cody Clark is a sophomore Business Management major from Dayton, Ohio. Clark chose his management major because he enjoys being a leader in his everyday life and he loves to problem solve.
"Being in such a versatile major has taught me to be a better leader in all aspects of my life. To accel in business you have to be the top problem solver and the best at managing your people and resources."
Clark starts his Monday at 10 a.m. with a slow morning class: Business Analytics. The class brings excitement to finding ways to cater products to specific companies, Clark is pleased with the creative aspects this class brings to his major. His next class is an incredibly important one to all majors on campus, Ethical Leadership.
"It really helps me grow as a person inside the class and outside because it is teaching me to have ethical morals while running a future business," he commented.
Business majors need to have a background in math to help them further their knowledge, Clark fulfills this with his statistics class. This is one of the more difficult classes so Clark makes sure to pack his calculator and notebooks to take detailed notes. He loves being able to challenge himself in the classroom with this course.
"Business Writing is my final class on Monday and it is one of the classes that tests my skill set since I'm not a writer normally," Clark explains, "but it has been teaching me new ways of writing in the workplace with press releases and memos."
Like most students, Clark's bag is complete with his laptop, a few notebooks, and a bunch of pens. On top of that he keeps some unique items in his backpack that tell more about him as a person. Clark likes to keep water bottles and healthy snacks in his backpack to stay hydrated and have energy throughout his classes. He also is prepared by having a portable hard drive and a laptop charger keeping him ready for anything that will happen in class. Clark is always ready to learn.
A student's backpack can reveal so much about their life, what does your backpack reveal about yours?
