During the drilling of highly permeable, highly fractured and low pressured zones; loss of the drilling fluid as a result of the migration through the drilling formations is known as lost of circulation. The risk of drilling wells in areas known to contain these problematic formations was a key factor in the decisions to approve or cancel exploration and development projects. A wide variety of materials can be added to the drilling fluid to seal off the lost circulation zones. This book is divided into three studies; the first one is the synthetic polymers, the second one explains the lost circulation control property of water-soluble natural polymers and the third one is investigation of water-insoluble natural polymers as lost circulation control agents.

Tell Me a Small Christmas Story
It's a well-known fact that the things we remember from events that are supposed to be Big Events are rarely the planned-for memories. When you look back on all the Christmases of your past, what populates the home-movie-screen behind your eyelids are small moments, no? Tell me your story. By the way, you can read some of my own small-but-big moments by clicking on the pic.

What It Looks Like
Sometimes what it looks like is a gray stone wall. You know there's light because some of the gray is grayer (shadows), but you don't see anything you'd actually call light. It's just a wall of ugly rock, sheer and taller than tall — tall without end — and even if you had your spiked climbing shoes, what could be the point? Behold the cliffs of Mordor.
And so you are still for a while, and that's fine. Stillness, even scary stillness in a fetal position, can be part of how the soul accomplishes some of its quiet work.
Eventually, you can no longer be still, and so you shout and rage and cry. This is also good. We would not have these vocal tools if they, too, did not have their place in the fascia that connects our worldly and spiritual experiences.
Or maybe you gave it your best in-the-name-of-the-father shot once or twice and concluded no one was listening. But now here you are, Mordor before you and a desert of despair behind you. With nothing left but your hands and feet and broken heart, you pray in ragged words. You shout out "Help!" Or: "GOD! Help me, would you?"
And in your desperation, you think you're asking for a helicopter to deliver you back to the world you knew before you woke up at the base of the infinite rock. You think you're asking even for a godforsaken rope ladder, the kind you're supposed to have in your bedroom to escape from fires. You think maybe you're even asking for part of the rock to suddenly topple down and crush your head, because that would be better than the lightless rock face and the desert.
So here is what I believe. When we ask for help at the base of the cliff, sometimes we get the helicopter. And sometimes we get just enough energy to lift a leg and find a foothold. We get footholds and crevices to grip. I think we become inspired to move a little and maybe we're struck with the sudden wisdom to stop looking for the helicopter, and to just keep groping for purchase and moving up. We get the temporary relief of a distracting and beautiful memory, something to make us stop grimacing for a moment while we climb.
But whenever I have asked or shouted or raged for help, or pleaded in a little-girl voice, or awkwardly muttered for it, help has arrived. Sometimes it has been in a very direct, "Your meal is served, ma'am" way, and sometimes in a form of grace that I wouldn't have dreamed up on my own. So I've decided it's best not to be too specific when I ask.
I don't know I don't know I don't know. There's so much I don't know. But when I woke up, feeling (as perhaps you did) that today I needed to do something about other people's pain, I knew this: I can ask for God's grace to be delivered to them as they climb the cliff face. Grace, in all its disguises, will arrive.

Drawing Ladies
When I was a kid who liked to draw, what I liked drawing was fashionable ladies. Then I kind of stopped drawing for a while. And when I returned to it, as an adult, I knew that drawing all kinds of things — buildings, people, flowers, patterns — was important because to me it was all about illustration, and you never know what you're going to have to illustrate.
Recently I got a job involving the illustration of some costumes, which sent me immediately to books about fashion illustration. And then it sent me to drawing ladies in fashionable clothing (and men, too), and it all came back, like the way the aroma of a just-opened box of crayons whisks you back to third grade.
I had so much fun imagining outfits and trying to make the lines look elegant. Unlike my child's approach, I studied what made some fashion illustrations so great — so artful — and that allowed me to do a few things in my own drawings that kind of mimicked the look.
To be clear, fashion illustration is its own discipline. I am not a fashion illustrator. But for a while, for this project, I remembered the joy of a kind of drawing that captured my imagination for a while as an unfashionable kid. Lovely.

Does Your Newspaper Mean More Than You Think?
"Boo-hoo," you say?
Stay with me. Please. I'll keep it short. Ish. I'll keep it shortish.
Or not.
If you're lucky enough to live in a place with a decent local newspaper – not even a really good one, like my Plain Dealer, just a decent one – then you are privileged. But the sell-by date on that privilege may be fast approaching, and it is time to take action.
I'm not going to reiterate the cultural and economic issues that plague print newspapers. If you've made it even this far, you already know them.
What you might not know, or quite believe, is that however long you've lived with your local newspaper, and however much or little you have read it, the paper has been making your community better. That's right: EVEN IF YOU NEVER READ THE PAPER, IT HAS MADE YOUR LIFE BETTER.
How can I be so sure? Because simply by existing, the newspaper has reached readers – your neighbors, friends and community leaders – and explained their world to them. It has informed their votes, pointed them to new restaurants, and opened their eyes about corrupt politicians. Perhaps the mere existence of the press has even inspired some such politicians to stay on this side of the law. (We'll never really know, but it's possible.)
Now, perhaps you have some beef with your local paper. Everyone does at one time or another. My beefs can be stirred up by something as small as a typo that I think should absolutely never have seen print, and DOES ANYONE EVER EDIT THIS THING FOR GOD'S SAKE?
Perhaps your beef is beefier. Perhaps the newspaper did a story you think misquoted a friend involved in some controversial issue. Perhaps you think the writers and editors are in the bag for your political opponents. (I can find you plenty of people on the other side who say the same thing.) Perhaps you find yourself yelling at their football columnist every week. Or you think they don't do enough investigative work. Or they write too few positive stories.
I have a list, collected over decades, of the typical gripes that people nurture about their local newspaper. I don't laugh about them or mock them; people feel very passionate about these things, and I respect that.
But if your grievances have soured you to the point where you think your community is better off without the local rag, I'm here to tell you that you've lost your grip. And that you are – and I say this with affection and love – wrong with a capital WRRRRR.
Whether you love everything the paper does or not, every day that its reporters ask questions and meet captains of industry and transcribe the first versions of history, your community is better than if they weren't doing that. Not a little better, either. A lot better.
And every day that the paper comes out, and you don't at least glance at it, and find at least a story or two to read, you consent to making your world a little smaller than it should be. You're a little less of an asset to those friends and neighbors who count on you to know stuff and be involved and act as a good citizen acts.
Guilt trip? So be it. Just as I passionately endorse your right to be pissed at the local paper for the ingredient they left out in last week's recipe on the food page (does your paper still have a food page?), I passionately believe that it is impossible to be a contributing member of a healthy society without reading the local newspaper.
And don't tell me you get all you need to know from the local TV news. TV news serves a fine function, but it does things differently. And it doesn't come close to serving the citizenry in the way a daily or even weekly newspaper can do.
While I'm at the whole judgment-slinging thing, I will add that just as it's also not really cool to boast how bad one is at math, it is SO uncool to boast about how one doesn't have time to read the paper. So if you are one of those people, please be properly abashed. And if you hear one of those people boasting, tell them they're far less sexy than you had previously thought they were, and there is absolutely no chance now that you will ever hit on them.
Here is what I'm asking.
If your local newspaper isn't doing a good job, complain. Gripe to the editor. Write a letter. Call them to better behavior.
But for crying out loud, keep reading the paper. Challenge it to higher standards, because their writers and editors ARE the fourth estate and carry power and privilege for a reason, and it's not to justify their mass comm degrees.
Subscribe, because for now that's still how newspapers tell advertisers how many people read their effort. And it matters.
Buy an ad. Buy an ad for your church rummage sale. Buy a graduation announcement for your niece. Buy a big full-page display ad for your thriving business, if you're lucky enough to have one. Be a part of the ecosystem of an informed public. It matters.
And no, it's not too late. Our culture has slowly learned to accept the myth that newspapers are dead. But accepted ideas change all the time. Look at the Arab Spring. Look at leg warmers. Look at how people view cigarette smoking now versus just a few decades ago.
Finally, if you are a passionate newspaper reader: Thank you so much. On a personal note, you ensured a great career for me and for beloved colleagues for a long time. That's a nice thing, though it is not the crucial thing.
Far more importantly, you get what it means to be informed, to be a reader, to think and engage and connect. If you're a newspaper reader, you've made things better.
So thank you. And carry on.

I enjoy painting scenes from the beautiful campus at the University of Chicago. I've painted this one from the gargoyle's perspective atop Cobb Gate. Cobb Gate is a neo-Gothic archway at the northern entrance to the Main Quadrangle of the University of Chicago campus. The gate, complete with gargoyles, was donated by Cobb to the university in 1900. According to university lore, gargoyles at the bottom of the gate represent first-year students, second and third-years climb the gate, with this large griffin at the top representing fourth-year students. This painting is one of a series of cityscape paintings that features the Main Quadrangles on the UChicago campus. Previously displayed at "That Gargoyle on My Shoulder" exhibit, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, the University of Chicago. In order to keep shipping rates low, this painting is shipped as a rolled canvas. The rolled canvas is wrapped around wooden stretcher bars that can be used to re-stretch it after arrival.

I think overall I am a little disappointed. I just think these doctors do go through years of medical school to earn the big money, but a lot of doctors, especially including this doctor forget that it is still a service industry. We came in with our newborn and this doctor only looked at and spoke to to my wife despite us both being there. I am just as concerned for my newborn and I just think its kind of rude and wish they would get additional training on this. I think he has a wide amount of knowledge but they should remember it is still a service industry and I had better service at McDonalds.

Montez Development Grant
Update 1:
About Anna Thew
Born in Sheffield. Studied F.A. Painting at Chelsea School of Art, London and Italian & German at Manchester University and Perugia University, later Anna Thew began working with film receiving grants from the arts council, BFI and channel 4 with sponsorship from Kodak.
She has shown widely in international film festivals, including Berlin, Edinburgh, London, New York, Sydney, Locarno and Montreal; in galleries including the Serpentine and Tate Gallery, London and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and in touring programmes in the UK, France, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil and USA. Retrospective and one person shows of single and multi-screen works include BROKEN PIECES, Zagreb and Dubrovnik, 2002, ANNA THEW MULTI-PROJECTIONS, Villa Capriglio, Turin 2000, the LUX, London, 1999, the International Festival of New Film and Video, Split, Croatia 1997 and Akademie der Künste, Düsseldorf 1995.
She has independently curated programmes of artists' film and video in the U.K. and abroad and taught at Goldsmiths college and Central St. Martins.

Update 2:
A pillow book for a dream film
Our collaboration with Anna Thew revolves around the ambition to produce, in the artist's words, 'a pillow book for a dream film – one that if you flick through it, has the effect of musical variations, with shuttling sequences and moving frames as you might view ideograms or pictograms', which appropriately describes Anna Thew's associative style and method as the material act of of assemblage/montage.
Image: Anna Thew, film still - Rome Movie, (1983/1985), 23 mins, colour super 8
First seen as a teenager living and studying in Italy, her fascination with the intermingling of residual political slogans and posters on the peeling walls of Trastevere in Rome, found its way into her early abstractions, collaged paintings and subsequent films.
By piecing together notes, drawings, texts, sketches for sound(s), Super 8, 16mm film and digital video, the archive of Anna Thew and her work produced from the late 70's, throughout her active involvement with the London Film-makers' Co-operative (LFMC), to the present, portrays the complete picture of an artist who has intuitively filmed and made single and multi-screen film with multiple narratives.
With colour and gesture, both textural and textual, she has explored the lived experience of love, death, loss and bereavement, HIV/AIDS and the commercial privatization which saw the demise of such collective organizations as the LFMC, through performance and film.
Through juxtaposition and intercutting of diary extract, literary text, spoken word, abstraction and figuration, frequently referencing painting, the history of cinema, music, and literature, her films and writings reveal the traces and structures that produce ideology and belief.
It is the importance that Anna Thew gives to voice, text, colour, gestural movement and the deconstruction of figuration and narration which prevent the erasure of necessary discussions surrounding sexuality, gender and economics for which abstraction has historically been used to mask over.

Update 3:
Words, Words, Words
This month we celebrate Anna Thew as the first artist to perform as part of a multi screen installation and performance of BLURT at Tate Modern's star auditorium as part of the larger programme "Real to Reel, Women and Feminism at the London Film-makers' Co-operative: Trapped in Language".
The event incorporated a mobile Super 8 projection of a TV boxing match between famous fighters Bugner and Frazier and a live performance of a Kabuki howl in front of the screen by Anna Thew herself. Look out for a video excerpt of BLURT on our website, coming soon.
Below, see an excerpt from Yann Beauvais' article LIKE A SONG, concerning Thew's use of language in film. See also the complete article on our website, coming soon.
Language, in all its forms, is seen as an essential element of Anna Thew's cinema, manifesting itself either in the shape of the sound or as graphic sign, such as in Blurt (1983) and Blurt Roll 2 (1987). Word and language - but here we should speak of languages, infiltrating every element of the films. But if language invades the film space, it is done in an exceptional way. We are never in the presence of a voice which would overwhelm or provide the image with its meaning. Rarely does the voice dominate, excepting in the "conversations" with Steve Moore in Assemblage for Eye Drift (1996), or with the mother's voice in Hilda. The voice is always plural and functions according to the classical polyphony found in the Fugues of J.S. Bach.
Anna Thew's work in sound is marked by the multiplicity of languages spoken, sung or written. This multiplicity highlights the distinctiveness of each of these languages, their scansion, their dynamic and their poetry. This collision of languages in the body of the film, whether it is Italian, German, or French, in the same breath, questions the insularity of the dominant language. English becomes one language amongst so many others.
The film-maker speaks by means of this polyphony. Consequently the original version is also plural, in the manner of the pieces of music and film from which she composes her works. Each film is coloured by the places, the towns which the film-maker passes through, the memories, the men, her desires, which she documents in a distinct way and which she assembles in mosaics from which the joins, flare outs and scratches are not discarded. The film must be understood as a body, and consequently a body which is malleable, endlessly transforming itself. This constant renewal reveals itself in Anna Thew's films in the re-cycling of sequences from one film to another. This method acts on the notion of motifs as much as it performs as a rhythmic element, permitting the films to be seen as cinematographic poems which, from individual experience, are freed to make way for other songs.
Update 4:
The Spirit of the LFMC
To mark the close of this year's LFMC 50 Years anniversary of the London Film-makers' Co-operative at the BFI/National Film Theatre and Real to Reel at Tate Modern, we take a look at Montez Press grant recipient Anna Thew's 16mm films, Broken Pieces for the Co-operative (double screen 1985 -2001) and LFMC Demolition (2004). These films document the demolition of the old Gloucester Avenue railway building, which occurred the same year that the LFMC ltd was tragically forced to the wall. These reels revel in Co-op film-making, in underground Super 8, 16mm and 35mm film, in Co-op Cinema and Archive as an act of resistance. Here are some words from the artist:
Though the LFMC was destroyed as a limited company and registered charity in 1999/2000, its funding cruelly withdrawn and its donated equipment and precious film collection wrongfully appropriated, the LFMC as a Co-operative was never ever legally dissolved by choice of its members; film-makers with films in the Co-op archive. Therefore, the LFMC as a co-operative still exists by virtue of its open constitution. Its members and life members are still in contact with one another. Dedicated Co-op film-makers still exist. Therefore, if young film-makers and artists want the LFMC to exist for them, the Co-op spirit and its concept are indestructible (See 1978 Constitution). The LFMC can simply revitalize.
The LFMC Facebook page was launched this year with the initiative of finding filmmakers and artists who support the continuation of the LFMC. This site is meant to serve as a platform where films can be uploaded and pledged to the collection, as well as a place in which lobbying to save the disappearing collection of precious avant garde film can be organized.
So the spirit of the underground lives on…and on. The peeling screen, demolished doorways, the old café and film archive are a pile of rubble haunted by a mirage of flickering frames.
Montez Press is pleased to announce a new Grant scheme offering authors, artists and practitioners the opportunity of funding for six to twelve months in order to facilitate research towards an eventual publication.
The first recipient of the Grant will be artist and film-maker Anna Thew.
The research will explore her foundational use of sound and image, assemblage and collage throughout her career as both linguist, performer, painter, writer, musician and film-maker.

Best of all, Pioneer says that because of the way the technology works, there's no sacrifice in panel brightness.

So true, Thespa. Maybe sometimes it really is good to not be the type of person who has a ready snide remark to someone's even more snide words.
I guess it's a blessing to have at least appeared to have taken the higher road. ;-)

1. Why is there still meat on the menu?
A: Dining services will not take meat off the menu in the dining room because there are still people who want meat. We do not force you to go Meatless on Mondays, as we want you to make an active decision as a consumer to eat meat or not. We will never take meat off the menu on Mondays, or any day, until students demand an entirely meat-free day.
2. Do I need to worry about getting enough protein on Meatless Monday?
A: No. Protein deficiency is very rare, even in full-time vegetarians. Electing to eat a meat-free diet one day per week has been found to be both safe and beneficial for health in scientific studies. As long as you're eating enough calories to maintain a healthy weight, and following Health Canada's Food Guide, you're almost certain to get enough protein.
3. Do I need to combine certain foods during meals to ensure protein quality?
A: No. Although most vegetarian protein sources provide only some of the essential amino acids, it isn't necessary to combine foods to create "complete proteins." If you follow Health Canada's Food Guide, your body will have all the amino acids (and complete protein) it needs.
4. What about iron or B12?
A: Going meatless for one day a week is unlikely to create iron or B12 deficiencies. Iron is present in high quantities in many vegetables (dark greens, lentils, beans) and deficiency is rare, even among full-time vegetarians. People who never consume animal products of any kind (i.e. vegans) may need to supplement with B12. For more on nutritional considerations of a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, contact one of our dieticians Monique Lauzon (email@example.com) or Suzana Bubic (email@example.com).
5. Is a meatless diet automatically healthier?
A: No. Eliminating meat doesn't automatically make your diet healthier. It's still important to eat the right balance of healthy foods and to limit your intake of unhealthy foods.
6. Is a diet including fish, eggs, or dairy considered meatless?
A: Yes and no. All of these foods, on average, have greater environmental impacts than vegetables. While many fish are certainly healthy, the current fishing of many types of seafood has been deemed unsustainable. As well, eggs and dairy products both require more resources and are more polluting than a vegetable-based diet. To review some of the literature yourself, see our collection of Scientific research.
Granted, it can be difficult for some people to remove all animal-based foods from their diets. You can make the Meatless Monday pledge and continue to eat these foods, knowing you are still gaining many of the health and environmental benefits of excluding other meat. Take an extra step by choosing Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label or other sustainable seafood and reducing your consumption of other animal products.
7. Will going without meat cause me to lose weight?
A: Not necessarily. Depending on how they're prepared, vegetarian protein sources like beans and legumes can be lower in fat and calories and people who eat less meat tend to have a lower body weight. However, meatless diets aren't necessarily lower in calories. Follow Health Canada's Food Guide to manage your calorie intake.
8. Should I avoid exercising if I'm not eating meat?
A: There's no need to avoid exercise with Meatless Monday. A healthy meatless diet will provide more than enough energy, protein and other nutrients to fuel all of your usual activities— including your workouts.
9. What about eating out?
A: As more and more people are choosing meatless lifestyles, it's getting easier to find meatless options on restaurant menus. Most restaurants now offer at least one vegetarian entrée. Indian, Asian, Lebanese, and Mexican restaurants usually have many meatless options. Montreal has many excellent and affordable restaurants catering to vegetarians. See Vegan Montreal for a great listing of omnivore and vegetarian restaurants also offering veg and vegan options.

When having your cataracts removed, can you have a lens put in to improve your vision?
Yes, that is routine: A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens. Virtually all cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and placing an artificial intra-ocular lens (iol) implant in its place.

Night glare with cataract lenses?
Possibly: I assume you mean intraocular lens implants.

Women's Day offers ideas for an easy-breezy brunch, brunch for a bunch and two options for the more detailed-oriented chefs among us. Nosh ideas include pomegranate punch, ham and cheese strata, spring greens with Parmesan crisps, herb biscuits and lemon tart with strawberries.
Stick to your southern roots (and guts!) with these modern options from Southern Living. Watercress buttermilk soup, cornmeal chive biscuits, scalloped potato and herb tart, and jasmine-buttermilk panna cotta are just some of the delights you can find here.
The always relevant Martha Stewart offers up tasty treats like yeasted cheese and sour cherry coffee cake, bacon with citrus glaze, bacon cheese quiche, oven browns, and green bean ham and cheese frittata.

The two most obvious winners are Zahrat Dubai, trained by Saaed bin Suroor for Godolphin, and Peter Chapple-Hyam's Mother Of Pearl, whose handlers have started the season in rather different veins of form. Godolphin already have a Classic to their credit, while Chapple-Hyam has sent out an unusually high number of losers, but even one day could make quite a difference. Defeat for Zahrat Dubai could set off whispers this year's Godolphin team is not as strong as we have come to expect. Success for Mother Of Pearl, on the other hand, and perhaps another winner or two for the yard, would suddenly have punters talking about the "in-form" team from Manton.
Such is the fickle nature of the racing tribe, who like to worship a different idol from one week to the next. Those who answer their prayers, meanwhile, simply receive twice as many demands in return, which is why Zahrat Dubai, a filly whose only outing to date saw her finish sixth in a Newmarket maiden will go to post today with the burden of favouritism on her back.
Yet if the reports of her progress in the Emirates this winter are accurate, Zahrat Dubai (3.10) will justify the punters' faith. She did not necessarily head off to Dubai greatly in arrears of today's rivals anyway, since her only race was one of the best maidens of the year. Easaar and Tobruk - one of Chapple-Hyam's two winners this season - and Alrassam, who beat Killer Instinct at Newbury, were all in the field, and while Zahrat Dubai finished sixth, she actually won the race on the stands' side.
"She's a nice filly, she'll be well suited by the distance and she ran very well in our trial in Dubai," Simon Crisford, Godolphin's racing manager, said yesterday. "Obviously we'd have a little more confidence if the two fillies we ran in the Guineas had fared a bit better, but having said that, Pescara ran a very good race and this filly was just beaten by her in the trial. She's improved since then and over this trip, we're hopeful she can get the job done."
Godolphin's main Derby hope, though, the ex-American colt Adair, will not now run at the meeting at all. The Dante Stakes - for which Glamis was yesterday confirmed a runner - and the Glasgow Stakes had been floated as his possible starting points.
"He's taken longer than some of the others to acclimatise," Crisford said. "Hopefully he will still get a run under his belt before the Derby, but if he doesn't he'll go straight there, if we think that's the right thing to do. We're three week away from the Derby and now is the optimum time to be running them. After York it's getting a little close, though obviously there's Goodwood and a few other possibilities."
The remainder of today's televised card comprises three handicaps, but as always seems to be the case at this track, all are strong and intriguing events, none more so that the 10-furlong event which follows the Musidora. Four of the runners have had just the three runs which are required to obtain a handicap mark, all are saddled by leading yards and the three of them who have yet to tackle this trip seem sure to improve for it.
But while National Anthem, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, is a 5-2 chance this morning, Regal Exit (next best 3.40), who stands as much chance on the limited evidence to hand, is 9-1 with Coral, which is surely worth taking. The opening event, meanwhile, includes possibly one of the each- way bets of the year in Montecristo (2.05). Rae Guest's six-year-old has been out of the frame only twice in his last 17 outings, and despite his advancing years and rising handicap mark, his latest reappearance implied that he may still have a pound or two in hand.
Calcutta, who runs in the seven-furlong handicap, will be the only horse on many punters' minds this morning, after an unlucky run in a similar event at the Craven meeting. A better value bet, though, could be NOW LOOK HERE (nap 2.35), who started the season with an entry in the 2,000 Guineas. He did indeed turn up at Newmarket on Guineas day, but finished all of 65 minutes after Island Sands, when fourth in a decent handicap. He showed enough there, however, to suggest that he is the one to beat today.

Our Tradition of Adventure
Camp Burgess & Hayward's Adventure Trips programs have been empowering youth since 1986. Our Base Camp location is on Cape Cod, just one hour south of Boston in the historic town of Sandwich, amidst over 300 acres of forests, meadows, sparkling freshwater ponds and adjacent to the Camp Burgess Farm. All programs are co-ed and serve youth ages 12-17. We operate year-round and offer a variety of one-week and weekend programs, where everyone has the opportunity to be challenged with engaging activities, make new friends, gain independence, and learn valuable life skills, all while experiencing adventure on Cape Cod and beyond. We invite you to visit during one of our Open Houses or take a Virtual Tour!
Our Philosophy
Outdoor adventure, experiential learning, and leadership development form the foundation of our program. We strive to foster an atmosphere of trust, cooperation and inclusive group membership among all trip participants and trip leaders as well as provide the opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection during a memorable week of relationship-building. Each trip provides countless learning opportunities as individuals are encouraged to set personal goals, step out of their comfort zones, and work towards acquiring new abilities and achievements. Participants will accept responsibility for planning and cooking their own meals as a team, gain benefits from giving back to the community, and learn a variety of useful skills such as fire-building, knot tying or fixing a flat tire! Along the way they will boost their self-confidence, gain independence, enhance their leadership qualities and maximize their potential as they reflect on their personal progress throughout the week. We also aim to instill an appreciation of nature and cultivate curiosity, while stressing the importance of safety during all adventures. With a great range of summer and year-round opportunities – from surfing the waves or skiing the slopes to surviving on a 'deserted' island or just chillin' – individuals are encouraged to choose the trip that is right for them.
Our Staff
We employ a dynamic team of role models from across the United States and abroad. Our leaders are safety-minded mentors and experiential educators who come to us with a range of skills and diverse backgrounds. They each possess a passion for adventure and a background in empowering youth. Staff must be at least 21 years old, have a clean driving record, and currently hold First Aid, CPR/AED, and Lifeguard certifications. Strict background and criminal history checks are diligently performed on all applicants in the US, as well as home countries for international staff. Our leaders also participate in a two week training program that includes safety and emergency procedures, YMCA camp policies, logistics management, skill refinement, and much more. We believe that a high quality and well-trained staff results in memorable and rewarding adventures for all!
Experience the adventure with us!

Trend Report: Paris Fashion Week 2017
Paris Fashion Week is in full swing right now, and we couldn't be more into what we've seen so far. Many of our favorite designers have showed us a preview of their fall offerings, and we're starting to pick up on some trends. Here are a couple of our top picks:
-Long sleeved, high-neck dresses. At first read, this may sound boring, but the ones shown off in Paris were anything but boring. For example, Valentino showcased several designs that were very covered up, but popped with bright prints, and hugged the body perfectly at the waist. Pure elegance!
-Menswear, reimagined. Stella McCartney did a great job at this, as did Celine, who sent a perfectly tailored blazer tucked into a patterned skirt down the runway.
-Girly details – frills, sheer, and ruffles. Giambattista Valli definitely showcased a super feminine collection, including many dressed featuring delicate floral prints with major ruffling at the bottom. Dior also showed up in soft shades of navy blue, with just as soft ruffling and sheer detailing.
So far, this is definitely a fashion week to remember… Designers are pulling out all the stops for their Fall 2017 collections! Which are your favorites so far?

Aims and Objectives
English is a subject that is exciting because it celebrates the breadth of the human imagination and the extraordinary power of language. It explores the most central human concerns: the relationship between individuals and communities, the difficult choices we all face in life and our emotional and intellectual development. The main focus of our department is to foster pupils' understanding of the personal and social importance of spoken and written language. Language gives pupils power over their own lives and empathy with the lives and experiences of others. We encourage this understanding through the study and enjoyment of a wide range of Literature, Non Fiction and Media texts.
The English Curriculum
Key Stage Three
At Key Stage Three, all pupils will study a range of poetry, and a class novel. In addition to this, pupils study the following units:
Year 7: The Theme of Other Worlds and Cultures
- Other Worlds (an introductory unit, exploring reading, writing and spoken language skills).
- Publishing Unit (studying and writing about a range of media texts for particular audiences).
- Novel study (for example: The Other Side of Truth, King of Shadows, The Dark Horse, The Silver Crown)
- Shakespeare's The Tempest
- The Poetry of Other Worlds and Other Cultures
- Narrative writing (e.g. Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected)
Year 8: The Themes of Horror and Conflict
- Gothic Unit (reading and writing about a particular genre of writing, including texts from the English Literary Heritage)
- The Poetry of Conflict (including an introduction to some poems from the GCSE specification)
- Non-fiction (historical and contemporary reportage e.g. Malory's Morte d'Arthur, Captain Bligh's account of the mutiny on the Bounty, wartime speeches of Churchill and Colonel Tim Collins)
- Novel study (e.g. The Graveyard Book, Noughts and Crosses, Caught in the Crossfire, Unique, Private Peaceful)
- Shakespeare (e.g. Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet)
- Film (how the theme of conflict is explored through the medium of film)
Year 9: The Theme of Identity and Experience of 'the Other'
- Non-fiction: travel writing across the centuries (including Laurie Lee's As I Walked Out One Midsummer's Morning, Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes, Mary Kingsley's Travels in West Africa and Joe Simpson's Touching the Void)
- Novel study (e.g. Of Mice and Men, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Adventure of the Speckled Band/The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Pearl, Jekyll and Hyde, Animal Farm)
- Shakespeare (e.g. )
- The Poetry of Identity (including an introduction to poems from the GCSE specification)
- Language Study (how language changes and contributes to personal and national identity)
- Film unit (how the theme of identity is explored through the medium of film)
All pupils in A4, A5 and Z4 classes in Years 7, 8 and 9 receive an extra allocation of English lessons. Where possible, these classes are taught all their lessons by the same teacher so that the additional literacy intervention is seen as part of the normal English curriculum. These classes give pupils the opportunity to explore texts such as Tolkien's The Hobbit, Benjamin Zephaniah's Face, Film Trailers, Graphic Novels and Traditional Tales in addition to securing the foundation skills of spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Over the course of the year, pupils will complete 'standalone' assessments in reading and writing. While we do not 'teach to the test', these assessments do draw upon reading and writing skills that have been covered during classwork.
All Key Stage 3 pupils are invited to take part in an in-house public speaking competition, with the best team from each class competing against one another in the Rotary Youth Speaks competition, from which the winning team goes on to compete at district level. All Year Eight pupils also enter the Rotary Creative Writing Competition.
The English Department uses the highly successful Accelerated Reader course with a range of classes in Key Stage Three. The scheme allows us to evaluate the reading age of pupils, guide them to books appropriate for their ability, test their understanding through an online quiz system and guide them to another choice of texts.
Indeed, the English department places a great deal of emphasis on the importance of reading for pleasure. There is an inter-house reading challenge and we also invite authors into the school to speak to Key Stage Three pupils about their work in order to encourage pupils in their reading of newer texts. We have also set up a reading group in conjunction with the Library for the CILIP Carnegie Reading Award. All pupils have access to the library and all classes are encouraged to read on a regular basis. The library is well stocked with a range of fiction. The library staff are experienced and always willing to help pupils to choose a book appropriate to their age, ability and interest.
Key Stage Four
In Years 10 and 11, there are nine teaching groups following the AQA GCSE specifications in English Language and English Literature (8700 and 8702). These specifications are single tier and are assessed entirely by written examination at the end of the course.
For English Language GCSE, pupils study a variety of high quality fiction, non-fiction and literary non-fiction texts. Descriptive and narrative writing will also be important components of this qualification. Speaking and listening skills are assessed in this specification but are accredited through a separate qualification.
Link to AQA GCSE English Language specification:
For English Literature GCSE, pupils study a range of high quality literary texts from the past and present, including:
- Poetry (from the AQA Poetry Anthology and unseen poetry)
- A Shakespeare play
- A 19th century text
- A modern text
Link to AQA GCSE English Literature specification:
Over the course of the year, pupils will complete formal and informal tracking assessments. While coursework or controlled assessments are no longer components of the new GCSE specifications, our tracking assessments still allow us to gauge progress in the various units completed.
The English Department offers after school 'drop in' sessions for pupils in Years 10 and 11 between October and February. These sessions are run on an informal basis, where a member of the department will help with any aspect of GCSE English Language or Literature.
From February until May, these after school drop in sessions become more formalised revision sessions which are aimed specifically at Year 11 in the time leading up to their final examinations.
A Level English Literature
At A level, the English Department offers highly successful courses in English Literature and in Film Studies.
- In Year 12, students follow the OCR English Literature syllabus (H072) and prepare for two external examinations which contribute to a standalone AS qualification. The first of these is focused on Shakespeare and pre-1900 poetry. The second assesses students on a modern novel and post-1900 drama.
Link to AS Level English Literature specification:
- In Year 13, students follow the OCR English Literature syllabus (H472) and prepare for two external examinations for a separate A-level qualification. A level study deepens students' understanding of the areas they studied in Year 12 as well as introducing new pre-1900 drama texts and additional novels for a comparative and contextual study. There is also a non-examined component which allows for students to produce their own creative writing as well as a study of contemporary literature.
Link to A level English Literature specification:
A Level Film Studies
The Film Studies group follows the WJEC A Level Film Studies specification.
In Year 12, pupils complete two coursework pieces throughout the year (one practical two minute film and one analytical essay) exploring genres and cinematic styles of their own choosing. Pupils sit an external exam covering three key areas of: production and audience, British comedies, and American Westerns.
In Year 13, pupils have the opportunity to create another practical project (5 minute film) and a research product exploring the concept of the auteur in film as coursework options. Pupils sit an external exam covering: urban stories of power, poverty and conflict, spectatorship in early cinema (pre 1917), and issues and debates in global cinema.

Many small businesses offer services that require orientation and training, and need the ability to have a meeting place for their customers. EasyCom's conference bridge can handle up to 100 callers, making it easy to facilitate training sessions for customers.
EasyCom makes virtual meetings easier to achieve with a secure conference bridge that your company controls.
- Your company will get its own dedicated conference bridge number to give to attendees, and you can change the password as often as you like.
- You can put together an online meeting and invite participants to join your call without the assistance of an operator.

Dan and Angela Becker became involved with The Arc after their son Michael, who had Down syndrome, was born in 1965. As parents, Dan and Angela served as role models and were ahead of the times. They believed that no one should be left behind and made sure Mike was involved in the community. They also were exceptional volunteers and served on the boards of Greater Boston Arc and The Arc of Massachusetts. Dan was a particularly active force on the Government Affairs Committee. As committed advocates, they worked to ensure that parents' voices were heard. In 2014 The Arc of Massachusetts dedicated the Center for Advocacy in honor of the Becker family's decades of advocacy.
Dan and Angela worked hard to make sure that Mike would have a good life long after they had passed away. When he predeceased them, their legacy became a gift for our entire community. In this spirit, the Becker Trust will advance family advocacy for innovative programs that promote lifelong community supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
