Approximately fifty hardy souls braved Sunday's frigid temperatures to learn more about the proposed Blue Zones Project for Wilton, and to hike the NRVT.
Beverly Brokaw, the resident spearheading Wilton's pursuit of Blue Zone status, addressed the group before the start of the hike, outlining the health and wellbeing benefits the Blue Zone Project can bring to the town. Brokaw said; "Sunday's good turnout in the cold weather is a good indication of the strong interest the Blue Zone concept is receiving in Wilton. Our team is excited about the building enthusiasm in town".
The collaboratively planned "walk and talk" tapped into Blue Zones core principles of movement and community building. Attendees commented that these kinds of activities should take place more often in Wilton, providing opportunities to meet other Wiltonians, benefit from the town's amenities, and participate in a shared pursuit.
Charlie Taney, NRVT's Executive Director, said; "The NRVT is 100% behind making Wilton a Blue Zone and happy to do whatever we can to help make it a reality. It's a perfect fit with the NRVT".
Sunday's hiking group included people of all ages, along with dog walkers and birdwatchers. The hardier members of the group hiked the entire east Wilton Loop of the NRVT, a bit over four miles round trip.

What is a cherry picker?
A cherry picker is a specialist aerial lift in the powered access category that uses a hydraulic arm to extend a platform. Articulating boom lifts contain a bend in the hydraulic arm to allow for greater maneuverability when accessing difficult spots. Articulating boom lifts are commonly called cherry pickers. Telescopic boom lifts do not have a bend in the arm and allow for higher weight loads to be lifted.
Can anyone rent a cherry picker?
Yes. Any member of the public can hire a cherry pickers, however, for health and safety reasons the operator must have an IPAF license.
How does a cherry picker work?
On a basic level, it's a hydraulic arm with one end containing a platform for workers and the other end attached to a diesel-powered hydraulic lifting system.
What is an articulating boom lift used for?
It can be used for multiple jobs including:
- Building maintenance
- Decorating
- Roofing repairs
- Event set up
- Cleaning
How much does it cost to hire?
Cherry picker hire costs start from £350 + VAT, insurance and delivery. The type and size will affect the hire price. Many cherry pickers have values in excess of £50,000 so insurance will provide peace of mind should anything go wrong while in transit or in use. Plant hire insurance is required by all reputable hire companies.
Can they tip over?
If using a cherry picker within its weight and height limits the chances are minimal. Conditions to take into account include uneven ground, windy conditions and sudden consistent movement when at full extension.
Can a cherry picker be used as a crane?
No. Boom lifts and cranes are built to specific regulations that do not make them interchangeable.
What's the difference between boom lift and cherry picker?
A cherry picker is an articulating boom lift.
Boom lift vs telehandler
A boom lift is used to carry people. A telehandler is used to carry material using forks, it is not suitable for carrying people.

I'm Justin Konikow and welcome to episode 140 of The Closers Daily. So this is episode is two podcast recommendations. So what's a podcast? It's a long form audio program you can download on your iPhone or even if you have any other device. You can download them off Stitcher. Or you can usually go to the website and get the programs there too. They're long form audio. Usually interviews or covering topics. And the two recommendations we're gonna have are gonna be for agents specifically. It's Super Agents Live. Toby Salgado is a bit of a character but he interviews top performing agents across the country. You could learn some phenomenal tactics and strategies. And hear the stories about where people came from and the businesses they created. The second one is for investors. It's Bigger Pockets and it actually has some great insights for people that have done it. Mistakes they've made, ways to find money. All kind of different stuff. You know I really believe in having an abundance mindset, sharing everything with the people around you. Which is why I'm not scared to share these amazing resources. I think it'll better our community of real estate agents out there and investors. And I think if everybody does better, the whole economy and everybody in general does better.

How we use Asana to run our agile projects at GPMD
This article assumes the reader has an understanding of Agile Development. You can learn about Agile here.
At GPMD, the web agency I work for, our project management tool of choice is Asana. There are lots of reasons why we use Asana, but those reasons will be discussed in a separate blog post. The aim of this article is give you a top level overview of our workflow and how we use Asana to manage our projects.
In Asana, a workspace is place where users can collaborate on projects and tasks. Because each workspace has its own group of users, we tend to create one workspace per client. By restricting each client to their own workspace, we minimise the risk of sensitive information being visible to other clients or any other member of staff.
In order to be consistent with our process and workflow, we ensure that each workspace is set up in the same way.
For new clients, the workspace is created during the client onboarding process. For existing clients with no prior access to Asana, the workspace is created at the start of a project or around a strategic piece of work , like a yearly marketing roadmap.
Our Account Managers are responsible for creating and maintaining the workspace.
The basic workspace is set up with a Backlog & Action Points project. (In asana, projects are there to help organise your team's work into lists of tasks).
Each client has a backlog area (project). Simply put, the backlog is the common place where we maintain a list of ideas and features for client websites.
The Product Owner should maintain the backlog on a regular basis, scoping each task, writing stories if required, providing full details around each task and prioritising these accordingly.
You can learn more about what an agile backlog is and how to maintain one here.
action points
Each client also has a Action Points area. This area is the common place where we keep all non-development related action points.
For example, if the Account or Project Manager needs to write a statement of work, the task to do so would be created and kept in the Action Points project.
When a project has been signed off, one or more sprints will be required to complete the project. In product development, a sprint is a set period of time during which work has to be completed and made ready for review.
We start our sprints with a sprint planning meeting. The objective of this meeting is to review each task and decide which ones to prioritise in the forthcoming sprint. These tasks are then moved from the backlog into the relevant sprintboard project in Asana.
In Asana, each sprint has a predefined layout which consists of the following sections (aka swimlanes):
- To Do - A list of tasks, prioritised accordingly and assigned to a developer or PM
- In Progress - A task currently being worked on by a developer or PM
- In Review (UAT) - A completed task, ready to be reviewed on a staging (testing) environment
- Done - A task which has been tested and approved by the Project owner
Once the sprint proper begins, we openly discuss progress, issues and anything else by leaving comments directly into the comments field of each task.
Because we regularly update our UAT environment (test environment) with tasks that are ready for review, this enables us to have a quick feedback loop with the client and/or product owner!
Once the sprint is done, all completed work is showcased to the client and/or product owner. This is either done face-to-face or through a video conference call (we use Google Hangouts). We set things up as follows:
- We have the Asana project opened in our first web browser
- In another browser we have the frontend of the website on display
- We have a third browser tab opened with the admin of the website (if relevant)
We then literally go through each task one by one (tasks from the Done section in Asana) and discuss the work that was carried out. If the client and the product owner are satisfied with the quality of the work, the task gets ticked-off in asana.
Once the sprint is over, all completed development work ( in the done section) gets merged into a release branch in Github. It's a this point that the work is handed over to our sys-admin whose responsibility is to schedule a release for the work to be deployed to the production environment of our clients website.
Tags are used to give to the tasks additional context or to group similar tasks for easy viewing.
We use tags to:
Prioritise the tasks - When a task is added to the To Do section of a sprint, we prioritise them by adding one of the following prioritisation tags: Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have. This follows the MosCoW method of prioritisation.
Must Have - Requirements labeled as MUST are critical to the current Project (or sprint) in order for it to be a success. If even one MUST requirement is not included, the project (or sprint) delivery should be considered a failure!
Should Have - Requirements labeled as SHOULD are important but not necessary for delivery in the current delivery timebox. While SHOULD requirements can be as important as MUST, they are often not as time-critical or there may be another way to satisfy the requirement, so that it can be held back until a future delivery timebox.
Could Have - Requirements labeled as COULD are desirable but not necessary, and could improve user experience or customer satisfaction for little development cost. These will typically be included if time and resources permit.
Won't Have - Requirements labeled as WON'T have been agreed by stakeholders as the least-critical, lowest-payback items, or not appropriate at that time.
- We also use tags to differentiate between a new feature, bug and change request - There are 4 different types of tasks:
- New feature: A new product or functionality that delivers business value
- Enhancement: Is an improvement to existing functionality
- Bug or defect (snagging): A software bug is an error, flaw failure or fault causing a system or program to crash or produce invalid output.
- Change request: The request to change something. The change may be desired to add something to the product (usually an enhancement), or take something away (usually a bug)
task estimates
Once the scope of work has been agreed, we then schedule an internal estimation session. All developers and the product owner collectively estimate each task one by one. We use the Planning Poker technique for estimating as this enables us to have a biased free opinion from each team member on how long a task should take to complete. You can read more about Planning Poker here.
We estimate tasks in hours and not story points. We do, however, use the Fibonacci method of estimating the hours. The sequence of numbers are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89. The reason for using the Fibonacci sequence is that it helps to reflect the inherent uncertainty in estimating larger items.
For better visibility, we tend to add the estimate at the beginning of the task i.e [ 6 hrs ] CHECKOUT - fix bug with dropdowns.
time tracking
We use the Asana / Harvest integration to track time directly from within Asana.
Enabling Harvest time tracking is simple: Go to ACCOUNT SETTINGS > APPS > ACTIVATE ASANA.
Start tracking your time: Once we are ready to start work on a particular task, we click on the timer icon to launch to Harvest App.
Once the Harvest App has launched, select the project and task and start your timer.
To stop the timer, you can either click on the timer icon from within Asana or by logging into your Harvest account from a web browser.
...Right, that's about it for now, hope you found this useful.

November's Tutor of the Month - Kimberly Sword
Andson has the best tutors. We really do. And no one epitomizes that more than Kim Sword. Kim comes from Cleveland, Ohio, although having a dad in the Air Force took her all over. "Growing up as a "military brat", I was blessed with the opportunity to travel the world and experience so many things. As a result, I strive to bring a world of experiences to my young learners," she says. Teaching is a second career for Kimberly, her first being in corporate management. Kimberly currently works part time for Mad Science and teaches at Roundy Elementary School. Having a passion for young learners, Kim says, "I want math and science to come alive. I want stories to leap off the pages. I want kids to be excited and challenged by every learning opportunity." There is no doubt that Kimberly is accomplishing these goals. Just take a look at the photos included!
Kimberly lives with her husband, two children, three dogs, two bunnies, and her many fish in Las Vegas. Kim, the kids are so lucky to have you, as are we!
SPOTLIGHT SITE - St. Jude's Ranch for Children
November's Spotlight Site is St Jude's Ranch for Children in Boulder City, NV. We chose St. Jude'sdue to their strong commitment to our community and the dedication of their hard-working staff. St Jude's Ranch is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe haven for children who are victims of abuse, abandonment and homelessness. Children arrive at St. Jude's struggling to keep up with their peers in school and are sometimes as much as two years behind where they should be academically. Andson was grateful for the opportunity to partner with St Jude's Ranch and this is what Christine Spadafor, St Jude's Ranch CEO, had to say about Andson: "Our partnership with the Andson Organization has miraculously helped these children catch up and be competitive in school, and be able to stand toe to toe with their peers academically. With Andson, they have consistent tutors who work closely with the school system, and seeing the same people week after week in helping to reestablish that trust, only furthers help enhance their success in school. Prior to the Ranch's partnership with Andson, we struggled to find a consistent, effective tutoring program for our children, and Andson is the perfect partner for us."
To see more, please watch the short video below:
Dear Friends, (Jan 2014)
Dear Friends: All of us at Andson, Inc. would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the Very Best for 2014. We are so very proud of the many milestones we reached in 2013. And we thank all of our Supporters and Partners who helped us accomplish each of them. We are looking forward to continually working together to deliver our much-needed programs to students across the valley.
We kicked off the New Year with the most amazing party for our team of Board Members, Tutors, Admin Staff and our Community Partners on January 11, 2014. A heartfelt Thank You to Southern Highlands Golf Club and Southern Wine and Spirits for their incredibly generous contributions, support and partnership.
On New Year's Eve 2013, we launched our new website powered by Larym Design. Please do take the time to visit and re-visit it, as it is being continually updated with additional details of our activities and services in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City.
Throughout the month of January, our Academic Team will be busy conducting our very own Aims Web Testing for our hundreds of registered students, while continually streamlining and structuring the Homework Help and Tutoring at our eleven locations in Clark County.
At the same time our Financial Literacy Team will be delivering January's Financial Literacy Lessons to all 25 classrooms at Bracken Elementary School. We continually strive to utilize the most current materials, so lessons are revised on an ongoing basis. We thank our partners, United Way's YPS, Silver State Schools Credit Union, and Bracken Elementary School for this successful collaboration.
Additionally, the Team is gearing up to start the second series of our Financial Literacy Workshops at Desert Oasis High School in the latter part of January. Approximately 1,200 juniors and seniors will benefit from these lessons.
Early February, the Academic Team will launch our Homework Help and Tutoring Program at Sunrise Acres Elementary School through the City of Las Vegas. We are eagerly looking forward to launching a new pilot of our supplemental after school assistance to the students at that location.
Taking on yet another challenge, we are currently developing a GED preparatory curriculum, which will be deployed early this spring. Through a partnership with St. Jude's Ranch for Children, this program will serve young adults currently in transitional housing and/or aging out of the foster care system.
Again, thank you all for continued support, and for making 2013 an incredible year of success. Together we will make 2014 an even better year!
Andson gets big in Texas
It's always a dilemma - the work we do in Financial Literacy is great, why not take it national? Our answer is usually "No," followed by a statement on how you would lose the aspect of mentoring, the quality will be diminished, curriculum less effective etc. But what if we were approached by a group that was willing to recreate the culture of mentorship, and not attempt to use volunteers or one-time teachers for a lesson?
We have had the amazing opportunity of licensing our curriculum to a passionate group of educators. The Comal Independent School District approached Andson to use the Andson Money Curriculum at the Fourth Grade Level for 18 schools. (Aside - how in the world would Andson be known in Texas, you ask? The introduction was made by way of friends at St. Jude's Ranch for Children - they operate campuses both in Boulder City, NV and San Antonio, Texas. Without The Ranch, we would have not been prompted to visit the Lone Star State). Andson co-branded and developed the materials, lessons and presentations to work for the demographic of Comal ISD - a district roughly the size of New Jersey.
What we've realized however is that our goal of supporting Southern Nevada doesn't mean our products and services just stay in Southern Nevada.
Look at this opportunity: First, there is a licensing cost - which means that Andson can have a stream of revenue that goes back to help us develop further products and services; Second, with the right partner, our commitment to mentorship and small, strong quality programs can continue. Comal goes above and beyond to pick the best instructors possible for our curriculum - we went down in early October to train 17 instructors. Some were long time substitutes that have been assigned to a particular school (and know that school's students well), some worked for the local Communities in Schools program, two were even school principals. Needless to say we were able to checkmark the criterion for passion.
Thirdly, and most importantly is the feedback and development opportunity. We have just opened our curriculum up to a feedback loop including 1,250 new students - something that would take a massive staff on Andson's part to facilitate locally. Comal ISD and Andson will continue expanding till we are able to blanket the Elementary level, hopefully developing a feeder alignment and carry these students through their entire schooling with targeted lesson on Financial Literacy.
Exposing our curriculum to new bodies of students means we can move exponentially faster to make our products and services even stronger - nearly impossible to match solely with local staff. Andson, for example, will monitor the Pre and Post Test assessments and will have access to feedback on Parental Engagement via homework assignments. These pieces will go back into Research and Development here locally, and then get rolled out to any licensees we may have in the future.
This may be small win for other organizations that are built with revenues and licensing in mind. But for Andson, the idea that we can build a culture and climate in Financial Education from 2000 miles away, and retain some control, is an empowering concept. We are so excited to open up the doors for licensing and for our new counterparts in the Lone Star State.
Thanks to our friends at St. Jude's Ranch for making the connections, and we hope that Andson will get as big as everything else in Texas!
And of course, if interested in licensing, feel free to contact us via the website - we'd love to explore a new relationship.
Andson Academics needed! Tutoring Landscape Changes for 2013-14
As we wrap up our Summer Reading Program, our amazing Back 2 Class Bash and approach this new school year - our services are proving to be more valuable to Southern Nevada than ever before. The reality is, as state funding to schools and other entities to provide academic support dwindles, there are less organizations providing tutoring and academic support Andson Academics - which makes our role even more critical.A recent article from Education Week reports:
Many companies that once provided supplemental education services, or tutoring mandated at academically struggling schools under the No Child Left Behind law, are now scrambling to find new streams of income, or have already closed their doors, in the past year. Steve Pines, president of the Education Industry Association, said that at its peak several years ago, about 2,500 companies and other organizations were approved to work with students using supplement-services funding allocated to improve students' academic performance. About half of the state-approved providers are "commercial entities," according to Pines. Other providers are a mix of school districts themselves, followed by community and faith-based organizations. Today, Pines estimates that the number of organizations providing those services has dropped by 50 percent.
Andson did think at one point that we may apply for some of these various funding sources, but we never have. All of our funding has come from Sonia's initial investment. That said, we are focused this year on securing new, creative ways of funding our programming to make sure our commitment to Southern Nevada can continue for years to come. Our extremely supportive Board has clearly made "thinking outside the box," a general principle in regard to garnering support for an initiative for this upcoming year.
With new agreements with the City of Las Vegas for SAFEKEY locations, our 9 other locations through Boys & Girls Clubs, St. Jude's Ranch for Children, and Communities in Schools as well as interest from various other community partners - this is only our beginning. This school year we have agreed to 13 total sites, with two additional sites in discussion.
Although we have a business background and can apply some very atypical strategies to fundraising, programming and curriculum, we continue to passionately operate Andson as the organization it is - one truly committed to our community. We are focused, and ready for this school year!
Andson Receives Pinnacle Achievement Award
Just in time for the new academic year, we are elated and honored to be recognized by State Treasurer Kate Marshall and the National Association of State Treasurers for our efforts in fostering Financial Literacy. We have worked, and continue to work tirelessly to develop and deliver innovative curriculums that encourage students to think critically about personal finance. The new school year brings new projects for Andson in the Financial Literacy front and we look forward to expanding our partnerships to give more students access to the knowledge they need to improve their quality of life.
"The Andson Orgaization, in part through the efforts of Matt Hirsch, has been a great community partner, complementing the Treasurer's Office efforts to drive and foster financial literacy education in the Clark County School District. 'The Piggybank Project' has served as a model program for helping kids and parents to understand financial concepts, and to encourage money saving habits, while building decision making skills regarding money."
Are we the new Life Coach for kids?
When we go out and promote Andson to a possible partner or client (aka parents and kids) we try to convey the dynamic of mentorship in all our activities. The reason we are so good at what we do is because there is no off-the-shelf program for our youth - we must connect with them in 2013 and meet them where they're at.
That said, more and more parents (and adults in general) are extremely aware of the lack of life skills that our students and youth receive these days. It's enough to spark the conversation of where these skills can be best curated - home or school, parents or teachers. That's a different article entirely, however.
What I am realizing more and more is that Andson, through providing academic support and performance programs, financial literacy programs etc., isn't just about facilitating curriculum - it's about motivation of young people through our passion.
What we're building here for Southern Nevada is a whole lot more than any program. I'm starting to feel that we are life coaches for K-12. That is, we can inspire, motivate, reward and see how many of the 4,000 students we've impacted this past year succeed through the seeds we plant.
Just look at what we're doing at the Back 2 Class Bash with Raising Canes and the TEAching stand. Yes, it's a beta program - this is the first run at it. We're not looking at this simply as an entrepreneurial lesson, however. Andson is teaching the concept of volunteerism and taking the money smarts you learn through business back to your own personal finances. This lesson is geared toward middle schoolers to learn through immersion.
Whether it's receiving a letter that a high school student is now teaching their mother about banking, or having an elementary student run into one of our tutoring locations to show us their report card, our programs are creating an element of motivation in young people that really parodies what you see out of these adult life coaching programs.
This is a service economy, and we certainly provide a service. Through our continuing passion, however, we are providing more than any single program ever can.
Learn, Act, Learn - Financial Literacy gets rethought for High School Students
Andson Academics has become our flagship service - a tutoring program that scales well, serves our communities, and creates partnerships and collective impact. The Academic Assistance model is constantly attended to - we take pride in the tweaks that make the program better and better.
That said, Financial Literacy has really taken off as a core component of what we do here at Andson. This past year was absolutely pivotal in the way we view and develop our Financial Literacy curriculums. Nearly 2,000 unique students in 2012-2013 have already been directly reached by our Financial Literacy programming.
What we learned from the Piggybank Project at Bracken Elementary was that it's not about just one workshop of programming - not a five to eight week period. Rather, Andson's role in 2013 is to carry a student through multiple iterations of curicula. We start at the Kindergarten grade level and work our way through 5th grade. It was an amazing program that will really prove its effectiveness as we see this year's 1st graders all the way through their elementary graduation.
So, we started thinking, how can we accomplish the same at the High School level? How do we start with tiered curriculum, one that strengthens impact with every year until graduation?
What we've developed is a new way of looking at our high school students' needs. This is no longer a few weeks of interaction - this is about implementation over 3+ years.
At the Sophomore level, we explain the importance of grades, volunteerism in our community, and understanding needs vs. wants.
At the Junior level, we begin to plant the seed of the importance of education on future earning potential, and how to creatively fund your college education.
At the Senior level - we give them the full Andson curriculum, working with them for a greater understanding of personal finance.
What we estimate is that nearly half of the students we start with, we get to work with in their Senior year. For the others (due to transiency rate, etc) they will have seeds planted that they would not have otherwise experienced. This model is a complete work in progress - we've written some grant requests and hope to start this with Communities in Schools in the 2013-14 school year at Chaparral High Sschool.
Andson is committed to the idea of "Learn, Act, Learn" - no two schools or years should ever be exactly alike. Our materials have always, and will always cater to the student. This is how we personally can guarantee the greatest possible impact through our Financial Literacy workshops.
Letter from Leadership
Dear Friends,
I am delighted to share the news of our progress and the remarkable milestones we have accomplished over the last few months. As one of the leading organizations providing Academic and Financial Literacy Education to the children and youth of Southern Nevada, we deliver a full range of unique and innovative learning programs across the valley.
For the past few years, our fundraising efforts have been quite minimal. In many ways, we have been shy about asking others for money before proving results. But April catapulted our philanthropic quest to a whole new level as Andson joined the selected group of charities that benefit from the Annual Governor's Black-Tie Invitational. With a wonderful gift of $80K, the Southern Highlands Charitable Foundation is fueling our work to equip students with the tools they need to achieve intellectual growth and academic success.
May marked the completion of the 2012-2013 school year. Eight months in which over 2,500 students across the Las Vegas Valley received supplemental education through our Academic Assistance program and tailored Financial Literacy classes. We graduated approximately 800 students in our Homework Help & Tutoring program with notable improvements of one to two grade levels in all areas – these students enjoyed pizza parties and received certificates of achievement! Simultaneously, almost 2,000 students from kinder to high school seniors at three different public schools learned the basics of personal finance and money saving habits.
May also marked the installation of a diverse and fully functional Board of Directors. Armed with a new president, secretary and treasurer, we are prepared to embark on a strategic planning process that will allow us to grow sustainably, deepening in breadth and impact. Moving into the summer season, we all look forward to continuing our efforts in education by delivering a summer reading program and hosting Andson's Back to Class Bash on Saturday, August 3rd – sponsored by St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and the Southern Highlands Community Association.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff, we would like to thank you for your friendship and hope that you will consider joining our various initiatives – together we can make a difference!
Kindest regards,[spacing amount=20]
Sonia McTaggart-Anderson Founder and CEO
Andson Academics helps education now.
Over the next several weeks, we will celebrate, as thousands of students graduate from high schools, colleges and universities. Unnoticed, however, will be the additional thousands who will not graduate. With less than 61 % of Clark County's high school students graduating, and a very small percentage of those graduates attending college, we trail the rest of the country in the area of a qualified pool of future employees, and an educated workforce. We, as a community, have much work to do to.
Clark County School District (CCSD) is the 5th largest school district in the country. As of March 2013, there were more than 311,000 students enrolled in our schools, 71% of Nevada's public school population resides in our school district. This disparity creates a tremendous hardship on our school system to serve our students adequately. The fact that our district is underfunded is a much known statistic, one that is being widely addressed in our legislative sessions and political public hearings. Those efforts will no doubt result in increased funding for our region in the near future. Meanwhile, however, we cannot neglect the tens of thousands of students that are currently struggling in their daily studies and are in danger of dropping out of school, and simply go unaccounted for.
Early education, and giving our children the tools to succeed isn't an idea we should strive towards, it's what we need to do. Excuses as to why our children are not performing at national standards are not appropriate at this time. Early involvement has a direct impact on low income and other demographics that are at a high risk of falling behind. Many children arrive at school enrollment already behind. A recipe for failure is already in place, if additional support is not provided to these students to bring them to the appropriate level of knowledge. Building a child's vocabulary, and teaching him or her to count to 100 at the earliest age sets the platform for success in a classroom and, ultimately, in life. As a community, we, the business leaders need to inspire Southern Nevada's citizens to get involved, whether by way of time, and or resources. Together we can give the children of Clark County a better chance to succeed. The students in our district today, will be Southern Nevada's work force tomorrow. Lets give them the opportunity to contribute and build our economy.
English Language Learners (ELL) is a significant portion of our student population, recent figures show that over 53,000 of CCSD students are enrolled in ELL services, but according to teachers' reports, approximately 100,000 students are identified as ELL. These students will ultimately fall behind their peers if additional resources and services are not provided to them. Nevada has the highest percentage of ELL students with little or no resources directed to their specific needs. With such a predominant role in the composition of our student population ELL students' success rates have a direct impact on the performance of our school district and our state. To ignore the needs of this demographic will hinder the performance for the entire Southern Nevada School system.
We have a tremendous task ahead to transform our education system and work collectively to ensure that the children of our community will experience the thrill of "donning the cap and gown with a sense of pride and achievement", and progress to become an educated and successful generation. This will not be a quick fix; it will take us, the employers, community leaders, and entrepreneurs to make the commitment to provide our students with the support, tools, and resources they need to succeed. Our students cannot wait another two or three years, for legislature to take effect. Southern Nevada cannot wait on legislation to improve the value of our city. "Every two years is another two years of students who will not pass the critical third grade reading gauge, two years of dismal sophomore math scores, two years of an unacceptable graduation rate, and two years of widening the gap between opportunity and achievement. We, as a community, need the transformation to begin today"
After school programs such as what we at Andson provide to students, are the roadways to their success. With as little as one hour per day of personal or small group attention, students, on average improve as much as two grade levels in reading and math. Although a large majority of the students we serve are ELL and/or children for low-income families, this need is not limited to these demographics. We live in a world of the Hospitality Industry; most of our professional- working parents are employed within that field. In the evenings, when the children are in need of assistance and discipline with homework and studies, parents are, unfortunately, working. Their children need our support just as much, so that the parents can continue to be part of our educated workforce.
"Homework not only reinforces what was learned in the classroom, it also teaches and develops independent learning skills. In the early years of a child's education, little homework is given. Simple math problems, studying spelling, practicing handwriting, and reading are typical homework assignments of an early learner. These are all skills that are best learned by repetition and practice. These are also the skills that must be mastered before the student is introduced to more advanced concepts. Homework is an effective method of reinforcing these skills. Students who practice their spelling words become adults who can spell. Students who practice their multiplication tables have an easier time learning division. Students who do homework every night learn skills that are necessary for educational success.
Students learn about their own learning styles.
Most children do not like homework. A student's dislike of homework, or rather their like for everything that is not homework, will motivate students to get through their homework quicker to get to the things that they want to do. Though this may seem like a bad thing, it motivates students to find what method of learning works best for them. As children advance through school, more homework is given. Students who have found which methods of learning work best for them will have an easier time managing loads of homework in the future.
Homework is a necessary part of learning. It helps students develop their own independent learning skills and use them in a time effective manner. Skills learned through doing homework will allow students to enjoy success in the classroom and in their adult lives."
Through partnerships with organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, Communities in Schools, St. Judes Ranch for Children, Walter Bracken Elementary School, Vegas PBS, and several others within the valley, Andson Academics provides the assistance, guidance, discipline and reinforcements to hundreds of students throughout the school year. It is our determination and goal to encourage a lifelong love for learning amongst our young citizens and to provide them with the assistance they need along the way. With that foundation in place, and with the support of our business and community leaders, we will produce successful and productive citizens.
600 Desert Oasis High School Seniors' Debt Workshop
Desert Oasis Highschool, Check.Andson lesson built on Debt, Check. 600 High Schoolers, Check (gulp). 1 Day. (Wow!)
We had the opportunity April 23rd to teach 6 sessions to Desert Oasis Seniors on Debt, Credit, and Creative Funding of College education.
While this was a bit different for Andson, it was an awesome day! Not only were students informed on the concept of interest rates, predatory lending, and to "think outside the box" in regards to funding college, but we also had 5 individual students looking for mentoring relationships through our program.
This was one of those days that put a smile on our faces - not only can we make a positive impact on so many students in one day, we can engage with a handful of students to achieve short-term and long-term goals through budgeting and planning.
Here is the lesson we taught:
Thanks to Desert Oasis for having us. Word is, they want our whole course for seniors next year.
Growing Leaps & Bounds - Andson & The 2013 Governor's Black Tie Invitational
We continue to reach milestones on all fronts!
Andson has attended the Governor's Black Tie for the past 3 years. It has always been an amazing event - but this year was something special. This year, Andson was one of 8 beneficiaries selected by the Southern Highlands Charitable Foundation! We were absolutely thrilled about this opportunity.
The recognition as a leader on the forefront of educational activities in Southern Nevada means so much to us. We want to impact as many students as possible, and this fuels our programs in such a meaningful way.
It was an inspirational moment to have Train performing while one of our videos played about the work we do. It doesn't get much better than when the team gets to be on the big screen!
This year we added two new locations to our Homework Help & Tutoring Program, and the program itself went from 180 to 800 students. In addition to the 5-lesson course at Walter Bracken Elementary School, we have now expanded to include workshops at Chaparral High School, Desert Oasis High School and Nevada State College!
We have also been favored by the increased recognition and support of the community; not only in the number of friends and volunteers that genuinely believe in our mission, but in the vote of confidence that generous donors and local philanthropists are putting into our work.
The Governor's Black-Tie Invitational marked a very special milestone for us and it is a perfect example of what a community can accomplish. Over $14 million dollars has been distributed to organizations in our community as a result of this tremendous effort.
And, did we mention Train performed on Friday Night!
A special thank you to all those in attendance. Thank you to all those in support of what we do!
Behavioral Finance and Andson - worksheets alone don't work
A statistics professor in my MBA program made a statement on the first day of class, "I can train you how to be a $10 calculator, or I can train you how to think." Obviously, gone are the days of living without smart phones, auto-correct and calculators.
So why are we still teaching personal finance as textbook terms and definitions? Why are we spending time on the things that students will inevitably forget; more importantly the things that they can easily look up on their phones? (Please Note: We do worry about many students' capability to spell and do simple math, but that's why we created Andson Academics).
We need to teach them that knowledge equals power. When faced with questions about IRA accounts, APRs or the details of an annuity, do some research on Google, instead of believing the salesman. We need to be able to instill that delayed gratification and PYF (pay yourself first) gives them spending choices and spending power.
Behavioral Finance is the term that is gaining ever-so-much momentum right now in this field. That is, instead of teaching a student about textbook definitions, let's teach them how to think about finance.
- What should I be leery of?
- When does an interest rate raise a red-flag?
- What are the fees that will be involved?
- Where can I go for help outside of a payday loan?
All of these are examples of teaching young people how to think about their money. Time Business & Money has a great article right now on the concept of changing behaviors instead of just teaching facts. We couldn't agree more and in fact pride ourselves and our programs on providing more than just a workbook or worksheet.
Roth, who runs the infamous blog Get Rich Slowly admits that he himself learned all the "basic financial literacy," in his senior year of high school, but was no better because of it.
Roth goes on to say that personal finance is something internal for most people - though for many there is definitely a cycle of poverty they need to overcome. What needs to be taught is that in order to make a change, it needs to happen within us. Otherwise it's just like a fad diet - you always end up back at square one.
I myself cannot begin to count the amount of times that we see young people that just don't want to end up in the same debtor situations they've seen friends or family end up in. Many times that's enough and it works. More often than not though, one is the sum of their surroundings; so bringing a fresh way of thinking and perspective into the classroom is more important than ever.
Let's continue with a mission to change behavior in our students, and not just make them calculators and dictionaries when it comes to personal finance.

Having Fun While Learning About Money!
What can we do to make it fun for children to learn about money management? How about add music? That is exactly what the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and the Charles Schwab Foundation are doing, and children are jumping at the opportunity to learn and be apart of the experience. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Charles Schwab Foundation are making an impact on teens that are learning about finances in a fun way. The two organizations have worked together to start the Money Matters Music Mogel (M4) contest that incorporates the Money Matters: Make It Count programs with music, allowing teens to have fun while learning. The Money Matters program teaches teens about money managing skills at more than 2,900 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. The contest has teens take what they have learned in the program and allows them to incorporate the knowledge into original lyrics that are accompanied by beats created by Grammy-nominated Kevin "Khao" Cates.
Once the songs are created, they are put to a vote and the winner receives $1,000 in scholarship funds and $1,000 to his or her BGCA club. Also, the winner will have the opportunity to create a music video to go with the song. Four finalists receive $500 each.
The previous winner was from our very own town of Las Vegas! Syretha Shirley of the Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas won with her song, "Time is Money". Congratulations Syretha! I wonder who the next winner will be?

Missing School Can Have A Huge Impact On Students
Your child has been sick for a few days and now he or she is feeling better, but you think that missing one more day will be no big deal. Think again! Missing school can make an impact on a child's education in the future. Of course, a child can always make up work but will that child really be getting the proper education that he or she will need for the future courses and material learned.
Of course parents are aware that missing school is not a good thing for students, but often times parents do not even notice how many days their child is really missing. And it is not their fault for not knowing.
According to new studies found in a recent article done by USA Today, 90% of students come to school. Though that percentage looks desirable, where are the other 10% of students? Approximately 7.5 million students miss a month of school each year. These "chronically absent" students become at "high-risk" of dropping because of the challenges they face academically as a result of missing school for long periods of time.
Many parents often do not recognize the issue because they are not presented with an overall report of absences. Each parent receives a report card four times a year. The quarterly report shows the individual, quarterly absences, but there is no summary at the end of the year with all the absences on one report. Perhaps making parents aware of the effect of absences on academic performance might result in an increase in the success rate of graduating students.
Children are bound to get sick, and will have to miss school for sick or personal issues, but there must be a way to keep track of how many days a student will be missing. It is important for students to learn the lesson of the day in the classroom environment where he or she will be able to ask questions and get the help he or she needs when struggling with learning. We want our children to overcome challenges in the future.
When did you have your Financial A-Ha! moment?
Some people are born financially savvy, some learn from their parents. Even more, however, may never learn - and hence struggle for years, living paycheck-to-paycheck and paying high interest rates.
When reading Kentin Waits' article recently regarding his financial awareness, I realized that there are such pivotal moments in the lives of young people, that we have got to keep doing what we do, because if Andson can provide this for even one student, then it's all worth it.
Waits, at 13, was allowed to manage the $120 per month Social Security benefit allotted him.
This article isn't pivotal, it's not as if he's a millionaire now. What it gave him, though, was even more beneficial - it gave him the groundwork to think about money; really think about it. You can "be born" with a sense of frugality, but in reality it comes from societal influences and culture - whether in the home or a little further out. Personal Finance is absolutely a learned behavior. Waits was given the opportunity to learn.
I had that same moment at one point in my life, the first time I couldn't pay my credit card off the same month it was due. It took a little longer than Waits, I was 18, but it sunk in nonetheless.
Those are the moments we want to provide to students and youth through Andson's activities. It's why we are working on The Piggybank Project, why we are expanding our reach in 2013 to High Schools, it's why we exist.
So, we ask you, have you had that "A-Ha" moment yet?

Mentoring Empowers. Period.
At Andson, we are striving to diversify our programs and give back in our local and surrounding communities in exciting new ways. Being that we are a small group - this is easier said than done. One area that we want to expand on is mentoring. This has not been a mass effort - nor has it been achieved on a broad scale.
The impacts we've made however, certainly are significant to those we've mentored.
Most youths mean well - they may have a few traits that need "tweaking," or they could even need guidance that is lacking on the home or school front. We want to touch on two cases that were encountered in the past few months where individuals from Andson have made genuine impacts on the lives of young people.
Jason is a youth from a Boys & Girls Club who had his future in order - he graduated from high school knowing exactly what he wanted to do with his life (culinary career), had the certifications to do so (through his unique charter school), and proved to be an outstanding youth in the club, at his school, and in the community. One area that he struggled in, however, were the finer points of reading- as in completing the long, complicated paperwork that many teens have assistance with from parents or guidance counselors. Jason had never moved forward on his FAFSA form; each time, he either had computer issues, or didn't know how to complete a particular section. He was on his own, and the deadline was approaching. An individual here at Andson was able to assist him through this process (as well as document it for our blog) and got his application in on time. It wasn't that he didn't want to complete the application - he knew the financial consequences if he didn't - but he really needed someone there to make sure he checked the right boxes and read through each individual section. He may have not completed this application on time, and may have missed out on a semester of college without our help.
The time then came where Jason wanted to get his driver's license. He called upon Andson to help with studying for the written portion of the test. Confused, but happy to help, we came to his rescue, and found he had failed the driver's test 3 different times. Jason could drive, he was even a good driver - but reading through the questions and preparing for a written exam was not his strength. Here was a young adult that works extremely well in his trade, but needed assistance with 2 very important pieces of growing up.
Bobby is our second example. Here is a boy whose parents had no intention of trying to raise him with any sense of values or morals. At the age of 7, Bobby had never been to school, and had been encouraged to steal when necessary for his "family." Through nothing short of a miracle, he was able to be adopted by another family member and moved to a home that encourages healthy habits - one of those being actually attending school. By finding out about Bobby, we were able to work with him over the summer and help improve his reading skills, closer to that of a first grade level. It was also amazing to see his personality transform so quickly from untrusting and removed, to that of what a child should be. He is now involved in Andson Academics, after- school tutoring program to solidify the work done over the summer.
These are just two examples of how individual-to-individual relationships can change futures. Andson wants to explore methods for mentoring youths of all ages and various backgrounds. We hope to make this a core activity of our organization in the near future.

April 18th - got your taxes done? Here's a list of celebs and athletes that didn't...
During Unit 2 ( Budgeting) of our workshops, we like to take a moment to talk about how even the rich and famous need to budget. Often times we mention Hollywood actors that have lost all their wealth just because they couldn't budget. Most of the time, taxes are a major problem for these stars. The only reasonable explanation that seems likely is that these celebrities don't pay taxes each paycheck like the rest of us - and they spend it faster than it's coming in.
MSN has put together a list of 15 celebrities that didn't make their deadlines for tax day in the past. It's a great read that will likely get incorporated into future workshops for Andson. Here's the highlights:
- #14 - Rapper Xzibit owes nearly $1 million dollars. He claims money problems began due to the cancellation of "Pimp my Ride." The clencher - Xzibit's Range Rover was a lease...
- #11 - Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne owe $1.7 million in back taxes. The saddest part of this story is that their daughter, Kelly Osbourne, already owes $34,000 herself. If that isn't motivation for what the Andson Organization is trying to do...
- #7 - Marc Anthony owes $3.4 million in taxes. This after a 2007 settlement of $2.5 million in taxes.
- #6 - Rapper Lil' Wayne may owe as much as $5.6 million after a recent $1.13 million dollar payment to the IRS.
- #1 - This one comes all the way from Australia - Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan allegedly owes Australia approximately $37 million in taxes!
There's more detail in the article. Go straight to the source at the bottom to read the whole thing - it's definitely an eye-opener.
So, remember that even though your tax bill may be high today, someone almost always has one higher. Who knows, maybe some of these stars will actually make the deadline since we got 3 extra days in the U.S. this year (sorry Mr. Hogan).
Edit: Wow, just a few days after the celebs list - looks like CNBC has put out a list of star athletes that has gone a similar route - 15 Athletes Who Have Gone Broke.

Managing Your Credit (and Credit Score)
So we've touched on how to check your Credit Report before, but the site Lifehacker.com recently posted an article entitled "How to Effectively Manage Your Credit Reputation," which goes into further detail of making sense of the mess of Credit History that we deal with as adults.
We really liked their idea of the difference between your Credit Report and your Credit Score:
The Difference Between Your Credit Report and Your Credit Score.
Your credit report includes all the gory details about your personal financial history. Your credit score is a 3 digit number in the 300 - 850 range (depending on the bureau) that is normalized and used to predict the likelihood you will default on a loan within 12 months. Because each bureau has different data, you actually have 3 credit scores. In addition to the credit bureaus differences, there are also different credit scoring algorithms in use. FICO is the most popular, but there are dozens of different credit scores in use.
Credit scores fall in these general categories:
Excellent: 750 - 850 Good: 700- 750 Fair: 620-700 Subprime: 550 - 620 High risk: 300 - 550
They also say that the best way to get your report is to use AnnualCreditReport.com.
Another really awesome idea that Lifehacker points out that wasn't mentioned in our last article is the dispute process:
There are two things you can do to resolve negative items. First, you should immediately call the credit reporting agency in question and dispute the issue directly (Transunion: 1-800-916-8800, Experian: 1-800-493-1058, Equifax has an online dispute process). Second, if you think you may be the victim of identity theft, you should enable fraud alert protection with all of the credit bureaus. This is a free service - distinctly different from credit monitoring or fraud protection that companies charge monthly fees for.

I am a mother of four lovely children, ages sixteen, 14, 7, and 1. Although they stress me out, in addition they are my supply of happiness. I've additionally seen some marvelous partnerships and friendships between common and special training college students. If both youthful & older lecturers are tortured sufficient they will quit inside 3 years and never be eligible for larger salary or pensions that they deserve. In Peru, there's a great gap between what the government supplies to special needs students compared to normal training students. The Individualized Education Program is designed to develop individual goals for the coed and is modified to the coed's talents and desires.
Students who successfully full all the requirements of our NCATE-permitted, professional preparation applications — including documentation of passing scores on Praxis II in Special Education — might be eligible for certification. All children receive instruction in the identical classroom collectively – all getting the identical education. Through all of those rough times I tried to remain calm and talk with his trainer and her assistant. Data Reports: The IDEA Part B Data Reports present knowledge about children with disabilities served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
And it is unnecessary to assume the district wouldn't, to not less than some extent, try to focus these youngsters within certain buildings, leaving others with under-common greater-cost particular training rates. Additionally, Mandy has been one of the major lecturers for COPAA's Special Education Advocacy Training (SEAT) program for the previous few years. Don't really feel unhealthy in regards to the occasional film, extended group learn aloud, or group craft undertaking when you're quick on trainer aides. You sound like a wonderful trainer who makes that particular connection with every little one.
The Center is energetic internationally by taking part in conferences all over the world concerning various particular education subjects. In 1926 the education boards made scholarships for poor youngsters who were below inspection of special wants. Thus, it is very simple for a instructor or aide within the basic training setting to use them with a student for a quick 1:1 session or throughout down time between lessons. The teacher can not do alone, as the educating professions in developing in most nations are examination based.
Low scores in one area versus excessive in one other may imply a studying incapacity, and the focus of the education plan is on ability development to enhance the training course of. And was thrilled after I discovered this very special area of interest inside Special Education. While SAI set the stage for more college students with disability to be included in the general education setting, it has also created a multitude of disatisfaction among the many educators who have to show it.

Jocketty's hand is back in the Cardinals cookie jar
in his seemingly never ending quest to sign any player that ever wore the Birds on the Bat, former St. Louis GM Walt Jocketty has inked outfielder Brian Barton to a minor league deal.
Barton, who played 82 games for the Redbirds in 2008 with a .268 batting average before being dealt to Atlanta for reliever Blaine Boyer, will serve as outfield depth -- likely in the minors -- for Cinicinnati.
He's had one game played in the majors since the Cardinals let him go -- a 2009 appearance for the Braves in which he didn't get an at bat. Released by the Atlanta after toiling in the minors for the balance of that season, Barton was signed by the Dodgers. But he was released at the end of spring training and wasn't seen at the big league level for the rest of 2010.
Barton's a speedy outfielder with surprising powere. But he's a crummy outfielder with an incredibly poor arm. Factor in balky knees and the fact that he'll be 29 in April and he's a risky proposition as a prospect.

An archipelago of 104 islands located in the Andaman Sea, Langkawi is a part of the Kedah state of Malaysia and offers duty-free shopping for its visitors. It is known as the 'Jewel of Kedah', a title given by Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah, the reigning monarch of the state of Kedah. The islands of Langkawi have an abundance of unspoilt natural beauty, which makes them perfect spots for you to spend a relaxed holiday.
You would truly savour the Nasi Campur served with rice, which is a staple across Malaysia and is a mix of various ingredients. It can be enjoyed during your Langkawi holidays in the Seashells Restaurant, located in a beach town called Pantai Cenang. Another popular dish in the country is Laksa, and the Langkawi variety offers thick noodle with a curry soup prepared using shrimps or fish. You can relish this amazing delicacy in the Laksa Power restaurant close to the Langkawi Airport.
One of the most popular attractions in this part of the world is Langkawi Sky Bridge. This pedestrian bridge measures 125 metres in length and provides awe-inspiring views of the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls and the islets surrounding Langkawi. Another attraction is the 12-metre-tall eagle sculpture at the Dataran Lang near Kuah Jetty. You can explore over 500 species of marine creatures in Underwater World Langkawi, the largest aquarium in Malaysia. If you wish to enjoy some serenity, visit the Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah beaches.
The Langkawi SkyCab ride, Malaysia's longest cable-car ride gives you an opportunity to enjoy scenic views of the rainforest, Indian Ocean, and the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls from over 2,000 feet above sea level. You can go for a jet ski tour on the shallow waters near the Pantai Cenang beach. Snorkelling and swimming can be enjoyed at the Pulau Payar Marine Park with platforms built according to the preferences of tourists. With duty-free shopping, you can buy your favourite items at Teow Soon Huat, located along the Padang Matsirat area.
The cocktail lounges, bars, and pubs are places where you can have an exciting time after dark in Langkawi. They have reasonably priced drinks, friendly crowds and laid-back environs. The D'Reef at The Cliff offers panoramic views of sunset and has the finest choices in juices, beers, wines, soft drinks and cocktails. Sunba Retro Bar is a mega-dance club that stays open until the wee hours of morning and offers an excellent ambience and signature cocktails.
The elegant hotels in Langkawi provide rooms and suites that are well-equipped with all the modern facilities to ensure a comfortable stay for their guests. If you are looking for low-cost stays, any of the mid-range and budget hotels would be ideal. Getting around in Langkawi is made convenient with the help of its efficient public transport system which involves buses, taxis and car rentals.
Many of the hotels and restaurants host parties during Christmas and New Year's Eve. Pongal is celebrated by the Tamil population residing in Langkawi every year. The Hindu community in the region celebrates Deepavali, the festival of lights, during the month of October or November. Eid-ul-Fitri and Eid-al-Adha are celebrated by the Muslim people with great zest and fervour in Langkawi. Other popular events in this region are Chinese New Year, Independence Day, and Langkawi International Festival of Art.

A few months ago, WhatsApp nixed video calling from the Beta version of the App on Android. Some users that had the correct version of the WhatsApp beta were able to make calls, until the feature was disabled.
It appeared that, although some were able to make video calls the first time around, WhatsApp was not quite ready to launch the feature. Video calling was put back into development and postponed for a later date with no word on how long it would take. After several months of testing and refining, the video calling feature is ready for complete public rollout soon.
Today, it appears that WhatsApp has brought the feature back to Android users signed up for the Beta. I was able to sign up for the beta and updated the app right away. I was able to make a video call with another phone running the same beta build. Anyone who has the option enabled can make calls to others.
Meanwhile, the iOS version doesnt have the feature enabled yet. I tried making a call from an iPhone and the option for video call is not there. This is after updating the app to the latest October 19 version.
The most successful messaging platform on the planet, WhatsApp has over 1 billion monthly active users and offers a great way to communicate with loved ones overseas without incurring long-distance charges. WhatsApp is slowly, but surely, adding more features to the messenger as time goes on.
my video call suddenly drop after 1 second i press "video call". it says "call not answered". both are have beta version. disappointed beta version
Next, they will add live video. Just like the one on FB & IG.
Yes Skype may lose some users but skype have security password where whatsapp missing this feature............... Those who want best video calling experience with best security will go to Skype and Majority will go to whatsapp ........... I don't th...

I'm such a sucker for cute and creative toys for kids. I swear sometimes I'm more excited to play with them than my boys! Darn you Pottery Barn Kids! But say goodbye to the days of toy envy (and empty pocket books, for that matter) because I'm here to show you, like days of old, how to use the trusty cardboard box to make some pretty incredible toys. Here are cardboard box crafts for kids.
Who needs expensive playhouses from the toy store when you can make your own fit just for your grand adventures?! Customize it just the way you want. Get the DIY here.
Wild Things
Let your imagination run wild by creating cardboard creatures worthy of Max's island adventures with his Wild Thing friends. Challenge your kids to create their own space droids, Minecraft characters, and more. Via.
Shadow Puppets
Keep your kids busy for hours by creating a shadow puppet show. Have them retell a favorite story or come up with one of their own. Either way, this is one cardboard craft that's more like a card-un-bored craft! DIY.
Perhaps a playhouse is too confining for your kids' great big imaginations? Ditch the walls and ceiling and build things from the inside out instead. Washing machines, stoves, ovens, and more… your kids will get lost in all the fun! DIY found here.
Pizza Box Easel
Aspiring artists will appreciate this cardboard craft. Create an easel with little more than a simple pizza box. Find the picture tutorial here.
Take a break from Legos for a while and build your own unique engineering feat. It's pretty amazing what cardboard, Sharpie, and some hot glue can do! More info here.
Strike a chord of fun with cardboard guitars. The rubber band strings really strum. Kids will love coming up with their own unique designs! Learn more here.
Train Village
Build a mountainous village and more around your wooden toy set. The tunnels are especially cool! Image source.
Viking Boats
Raise the anchors and set sail with cardboard viking boats. These are great on their own but would be perfect for Legos and other small toys as well. Find the blueprints and instructions from IKEA Brat.
Car Garage
Honk honk! Put the pedal to the metal for an afternoon of automotive fun with a cardboard garage. The paper towel roll tunnel is a particular highlight! Image.
All Aboard
All aboard! Hop on in this amazing cardboard train for first class travel to Hogwarts, Narnia, the North Pole, and more. This and more cardboard train ideas found on Recyclart.
The holidays are crazy enough sometimes without making more mess! For those days when your kids want to be festively creative but you just can't handle the sticky clutter of baking, hand them some cardboard and white chalkboard markers instead. Trace cookie cutters for the shapes. Your kids will be just as happy making cardboard ornaments and you'll be joyfully mess free. Via.
Continuing with the holiday theme, use cardboard to help countdown those difficult days leading up to a much-anticipated Christmas morning! Toilet paper rolls make the job easy. I love the tissue "smoke" billowing out of the chimney! DIY.

Healthcare Exchange Set Up Update
Healthcare Exchanges are slated to be in place late this year. A New York Times article by Robert Pear provides update on the status of most states with regards to set up their respective state-based exchanges. – David
Most Governors Refuse to Set Up Health Exchanges
By Robert Pear
Published: December 14, 2012
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that more than half the states had rejected its pleas to set up their own health insurance exchanges, dealing a setback to President Obama's hopes that Republicans would join a White House campaign to provide health insurance to all Americans.
Friday was the deadline for states to notify the federal government of their plans, and administration officials had been hoping that Mr. Obama's re-election would overcome resistance to the new health care law.
Federal officials said they knew of 17 states that intended to run their own exchanges, as Congress intended.

Why Plexus?
I was looking for a part time role with flexibility and Plexus was one of the first in the market with this kind of career offering.
What does flexibility mean to you?
Flexibility means I can fit meaningful legal work in to my lifestyle. I'm still able to pursue travel, friends and skiing. I don't have the responsibility of managing a team or a long-term work commitment to one employer.
Plexus engagements come to an end, so I can have a break before I take on the next engagement. The lifestyle of a Plexus secondee appeals as it allows me to enjoy a full and active life outside of work.
Tell us about your transition to Plexus.
The client doesn't treat me any differently from any other team member here, so I feel like a true part of the team. This is a much more flexible way of working than what I was doing before. I'm able to take more leave and travel more than I otherwise would have been able to. Taking part time secondments has also allowed me to commit to other activities with family and friends during the week and after work; I couldn't do this when working at a law firm.
What are the benefits of working in this way?
I like that I don't take home a work phone or a work computer. I like working on an as-needs basis where the decision to be on a secondment rests with me. And moving from client to client allows me to broaden and strengthen my skillset.
If given the opportunity to take a permanent position it would have to be a better offer than what I enjoy with Plexus and I'm not sure I'd find that elsewhere.
What are your tips for other lawyers?
Give Plexus a go. Sometimes doing something different helps you to learn what you like doing and what you don't and therefore you can't lose. Think about the reasons you're looking for a change from the law firm environment and be open to alternative ways of working. You'll get access to such different and varied work with Plexus.
Chris has been working with Plexus for over 2 and half years on several secondments across a range of industries including transport & logistics, consumer goods and technology.

Nate's Monday Morning Message
Nate's Monday Morning Message
Welcome to this week's edition of Nate's Monday Message! Over the weekend, as I spent time with my family it got me thinking about how we spend our time whether it is at work or at play or simple hanging out at home. Are we really making the best use of our time each and every day? Are there times when if we planned a little better, we could get more done? Do we wish we had more time to spend on the things we truly love? There is a solution to maximizing our time.
Set a goal, create a plan, and then accomplish it. This will be our challenge for this week. If you found 30 minutes a day, what would you do with it? Think long and hard about this answer as this will be what you think about while figuring out what you can change around, do differently, or eliminate from your schedule. Time is the one thing that is equal among all of us. How we use it is what makes all the difference in the world. Use it wisely for once it is gone it can never be replaced. Let's make it a great week!
Take Time
Take time to laugh
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think
It is the source of power.
Take time to play
It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to read
It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray
It is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to love and be loved
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly
It is the road to happiness
Take time to give
It is too short a day to be selfish
"Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them." - Jack Canfield
"In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact." - Les Brown
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow." - Helen Keller

For most of the day various news media outlets along with social media networks have been putting out slightly different versions of how Prince died and/or what caused his death. Some of the reports from those sources may have some truth but we can't know for sure, at least not this soon (or as I write this article). There are reports saying Prince had been ill with the flu for several days. Some reports gave reference to a time when Prince admitted to having suffered with bouts of depression, while others are saying that because he is a Jehovah's Witness, his religious beliefs kept him from getting or accepting medical treatment when it was needed. I saw one post today from someone who thinks Prince may have had a bout of depression that was so serious that he contemplated committing suicide. The person based his assumption on a news story that told of Prince inviting a bunch of people to his house recently. The person said that party was for Prince to say "farewell", for unbeknownst to his houseguests, he had already planned on checking out from this life.
*sigh* I can't with people on social media and their ignorant and still-unproven assumptions. Will everyone just shut the fuck up already?
CHECK IT: I think we should not speculate on what we heard, may have heard, are currently hearing, reading, have been told by someone or what we might assume happen (based on the word of someone else), concerning how Prince passed…that is, until a final and official coroner's report is released and made public. That finding often takes a day or two, sometimes longer. As of this post, no final report has been issued regarding how Prince died. I don't care what the news media is reporting. I recall similar speculations made and so-called "factual reports" issued years ago when Michael Jackson died. We all learned later what really happened to Michael, didn't we?
I suggest we give it a few days or so and see what the official report is on how Prince died and what, if anything, caused his death. Until then, we need to take everything we read and/or hear this soon after his death with a grain of caution. Everyone – including Prince's family, close friends and staff are most likely still in a state of shock. I know I am… and I never knew the man on any personal level! We must consider that there are people with certain self-interests who are eager and willing to publish or announce anything to the public simply to get attention and/or perhaps become "the source" of information…information which could be very wrong.
As I do concerning many things read or seen on television, the radio and most especially on the Internet and in social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, I warn against blindly accepting certain news, tabloid reports, rumors and hearsay, and against passing along that which has not yet been shown or proven as fact.

well this unit particular demonstrate teaching in the field. i have leaned how teaching in classroom goes. i have also got to know how teaching by lesson plan must be carried along. this unit has given me broad idea about how teaching takes place in a classroom and also the use of ESA straight forward method. this shows that with the help of lesson plan teaching in a classroom can go on smooth.Phonetics have always been a tricky part for me and although both in Secondary School and in University we spent a bit of time on learning the phonetic alphabet some, if not most of the things have escaped me. The first part of this lesson was interesting. Learning about intonation and stress while the alphabet I am sure will take more time to master but it does help to explain different parts.
