(defn constantly "Returns a function that takes any number of arguments and returns x." {:added "1.0"} [x] (fn [& args] x))
any examples of when this would be useful? I think it is weird to want a function that always returns "x" regardless of the number of arguments passed to it - however since this exists in core I'm sure it is sensible, more a case of I've not enough experience to appreciate its value.
I asked about use cases for this function in #clojure and got a good response from amalloy:
Say you want to call a library function that asks you to pass it a function; it's going to call that function ten times with different arguments to decide how to populate a list it gives you. But your program is really simple and you want the list to just be full of zeroes. So you call:
(libfn (constantly 0))
Hope that's useful!
(constantly 1) is often useful when it comes to testing. You can think of it like you would a "stub".

Notes from the ground, Mad, Wi and other random thoughts.
Because of a right-blogosphere campaign to silence me, I have been forced to commit Identity Suicide. I have never supported or advocated violence for any purpose other than self-defense against terror attacks by the armed wing of the American Right. I support peaceful, legal, nonviolent, creative direct action and always will.
Hereafter I delete all sites in my name anywhere. Anyone who wishes to contact me can do so through my institutional affiliations or in person.
Ann Althouse and Meade advocate torture, attack against nonviolent protesters, police-state crackdowns on citizens exercising their constitutional rights, class privilege, race privilege, and basically the full spectrum of assaults against American democracy advocated by the radical, revolutionary wing of the republican party. They are unkind, unChristian and anti-American.
I was quite angry about this, and drafted a letter expressing my just and righteous indignation over their so-called reporting on the events at the #wiunion rallies. In it, I used foul language against, taunted, baited, expressed contempt for, denigrated, and threatened with legal forms of resistance the traitors Ann Althouse and Meade. This I do not regret. I do not regret for a second using militant rhetoric when we face a threat that is militarized through and through. What I do regret is that in the agnotological, idiot right blogosphere this has been interpreted as a threat to initiate violence, rather than to respond in kind to the violence that they and their likeminded stooges so quickly rally to anonymously threaten me with.
I am not afraid of being named. I am not afraid of being outed. I am not afraid of being bandied around in thug circles as a bad little boy. If they want my birth certificate, they know where to find it I'm sure.
However to defend all of my innocent friends and family who do not care one way or the other about operation:countertroll and Ann Althouse I will personally cease all activity related to Operation:Countertroll. Althouse believes that it is illegal to organize against her, and she will enforce this imaginary law with threats against anyone who tries to do so. She will see that we live and die through the forces of ideas, not individuals. Operation:countertroll is out there. A lot of people feel the same. I didn't write down a word that I hadn't already heard in the streets. I am not Operation:Countertroll. And because Althouse has decided to make me prove it, I will.
I HEREBY COMMIT IDENTITY SUICIDE UNTIL THE RIGHT BLOGOSPHERE RECANTS ITS THREATS AGAINST MY IDENTITY. I deny them this target. I have destroyed all ID cards, mutilated my fingerprints, and now wear a mask whenever I appear publicly. I will live only through my organizational ties until the right recognizes that it is the power of us together, not me alone, that shape my life.

Google to Kill Off Google Voice for BlackBerry
Article Comments
Mar 13, 2013, 6:26 PM by Eric M. Zeman
Google today announced a second round of spring cleaning that will see yet more services discontinued. The most significant mobile app being axed is the Google Voice application for the BlackBerry platform. Google recommends that BlackBerry owners still interested in using Google Voice switch to the browser-based HTML5 app, which Google says is more secure anyway. Google will end support for Google Voice for BlackBerry next week. The HTML5 app is compatible with BlackBerry Browsers version 6 and up. Other products that have limited days remaining include the CalDAV API, Google Building Maker (tool to model 3D buildings on maps), Google Cloud Connect (plug-in that helped users save Microsoft Office documents to Google Docs), Google Reader (RSS feed), the Search API for Google Shopping, and Snapseed for both Windows and Mac OS. Google says better alternatives for all these services are available elsewhere.

Cedar Point announces GateKeeper, new Wing coaster for 2013
Written by Robert Niles
Cedar Point today announced the name and details for the new Bolliger & Mabillard Wing coaster it's building for 2013: GateKeeper will open on the Wicked Twister Midway and feature a 164-foot drop and a top speed of 67 miles per hour on a 4,164-foot track, making it the longest, tallest and fastest B&M Wing in the world.Tweet
Here's Cedar Point's official POV computer simulation:
Where do you think this new coaster will rank among Cedar Point's coasters, after it opens? How will it rank among other coasters around the country?
Readers' Opinions
From 126.96.36.199 on August 13, 2012 at 2:25 PM
Looks Amazing! I'm planning my first trip to Cedar Point after Gatekeeper opens.
From James Rao on August 13, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Looks like a fine addition to the park, and a huge step up from the "disaster" it is replacing. Not sure I like the name very much as it conjures up images of Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver...probably not what the park intended. Any chance a Keymaster attraction will be added at a later date?
From the POV the layout looks like a real winner, especially the foot and head chopper elements. However, the thing does seem to peter out at the end and finish with a whimper, not a shout. Moreover, I do hope B&M improves the restraint system from what is in place at Dollywood (Wild Eagle), cause those ever tightening shoulder straps are unforgivable.
Still, I can't wait to ride!
From Nick Orlando on August 13, 2012 at 5:13 PM
I think it looks like a solid ride with a great 1st half. I agree that the ending looks a little weak, maybe that last helix will pack more of a punch than it seems.
While the coaster does look solid and will be a crowd pleaser without a doubt, I do not see this coaster as being one of the top wing designs. It is more of a old school coaster, one with no theming what so ever. Compared to the natural beauty of Wild Eagle's flight through the woods, Gatekeeper has the same appeal as Scream! out at Magic Mountain (built in a parking lot). None the less, I can't wait to ride!
From Russell Meyer on August 14, 2012 at 7:40 AM
This does look like a nice custom coaster for Cedar Point. However, it's not the game changer I think the park needed to add after being relatively stagnant for over 5 years (Maverick opened in 2007). Breaking records for a coaster style that only has 2 other US installations is not anything special in my book. What would have made this truly big would have been B&M's rumored 4th Dimension concept, which is the natural progression from the wing coaster design.
I do like the dive loop right off the lift hill (almost identical to X-Flight though) and the corkscrews through the slotted pillars (again similar to X-Flight). However, a little more could have been done to theme the coaster better. The best Cedar Point could do was to have two industrial-looking concrete towers with a coaster track running through them? This coaster design lends itself to some incredible theming opportunities, and Cedar Point, who had been putting some good ideas together with Dragster and Maverick, kinda dropped the ball on this one.
It's certainly an improvement over Disaster Transport, but will this one ride really draw coaster fans from around the world to Cedar Point in 2013? Probably not, because in reality Gatekeeper is just a slightly bigger and less themed version of X-Flight.
From Derek Potter on August 14, 2012 at 1:06 PM
What it does do is bring a much needed shot of life to that section of the park, which has been underutilized for a long time. There are a ton of revenue streams over there (games, gift shops..etc), but there weren't really any major rides, and hardly any people over there for any period of time. It might have some parking lot as foundation, but it's way better than what they had. As far as visuals, I think there are plenty of them coming to the park soon. You can also bet that the lake views will be pretty neat
It will definitely help to disperse some of the crowds in other sections of the park.

The gap between pink slip and red lips
An extremely thought provoking article which just reinforces with certainty the fact that the only way to escape these never ending travails of material life is to take up the Varnasrama mission which was Srila Prabhupada's dream. A dream that is being relentlessly & admirably pursued by His Holiness Bhakti Raghava Swami Maharaj! Varnasrama might look like a distant and remote possibility for most of us. But it's time to realize that it's an imminent reality and it would be wiser for us to take it up willingly and lovingly before we are forced into it without choice. Even though a pink slip is usually warranted as an eye opener for most of us… thanks to Vrinda Mataji for helping us get there without having to undergo the trauma that she did. Thank you so much Mataji!

This afternoon, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released an HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report: Estimated HIV Incidence among Adults and Adolescents in the United States, 2007 – 2010. These estimates, based on data collected from 18 states, two cities and the District of Columbia, indicate that new infections of HIV remain stable at 50,000 new infections per year. However, there are a couple of notable differences by sub-group. HIV incidence has decreased among women, particularly Black/African American women and women who were infected through heterosexual contact. HIV incidence has increased among men who have sex with men (MSM) over all and particularly in the 13–24 age category. Young Black/African American MSM accounted for more than half of the new infections among MSM aged 13–24. Continue reading

Even if his counterpart on the popular Netflix series "House of Cards" didn't have much to say in defense of a swipe taken at Long Island wines in a recent episode, Congressman Tim Bishop says he takes exception to the line. (more…)
Even if his counterpart on the popular Netflix series "House of Cards" didn't have much to say in defense of a swipe taken at Long Island wines in a recent episode, Congressman Tim Bishop says he takes exception to the line. (more…)
Some familiar faces will be looking for the Republican nod for Congress this fall, with the winner getting a shot at longtime incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop.
Congress is considering a bill to strengthen public school procedures for preventing, detecting, and treating student-athletes who suffer concussions while competing in games and practices, a bill Congressman Tim Bishop supports.
Mr. Bishop (D-Southampton) joined fellow Democratic lawmakers today to introduce legislation to strengthen k-12 schools' procedures for preventing, detecting, and treating student-athletes who suffer concussions while competing in sports.
Primarily, the bill would set minimum safety standards for concussion management in public schools across the country with plans that educate students, parents and school personnel about how to recognize and respond to concussions — something the Congressman called a first.
"Concussions are an unfortunate reality of competitive sports from the sandlot to the Super Bowl," Mr. Bishop said in a press release. "This legislation addresses the clear need for nationwide standards and new tools for students, coaches, and teachers on concussion prevention, management, and recovery."
Mr. Bishop said he was the original sponsor of the bill when it was first introduced in 2009 and the Senate approved similar legislation earlier this year.
The National Federation of State High School Associations estimates that about 140,000 students playing high school sports suffer concussions every year, though many go unreported.
A fact sheet on the bill is available at: http://timbishop.house.gov/uploads/Concussion%20fact%20sheets.pdf
The full bill text is available at: http://timbishop.house.gov/uploads/11.13.13%20BISHNY_027_xml.pdf
While large portions of the federal government remain ground to a halt as federal lawmakers stand across the bargaining table from one another, Calverton National Cemetery has been unaffected since the day the so-called "shutdown" began Oct. 1.
But sometime next week, that could change.
If no deal is reached in Washington, D.C., two-thirds of the staff at Calverton National Cemetery, the country's largest burial ground for veterans, will be furloughed Oct. 22. In that event, the cemetery's work force would drop from 100 to just over 30, resulting in delayed interments.
While veterans affairs could be considered a nonpartisan issue — especially compared to Obamacare, the issue at the heart of the shutdown — Congressman Tim Bishop (D-Southampton) said last week that he doesn't see the logic in passing legislation that would before a final deal is made.
"There have been a series of bills Republicans have brought to the floor to reopen a slice of the government," he said in a conference call Friday with members of the media. "What we say is, 'Let's reopen all of the government.'
"Should we allow burials to slow down at Calverton? Of course not. But the answer should be to reopen the entire government. Not pick and choose which parts we want to," Mr. Bishop said.
The cemetery is funded through the National Cemetery Association, which falls under the purview of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The department is funded in two-year cycles — unlike most departments, which are funded year-by-year — so operations at Calverton, and much of the VA, have so far not been impacted by the impasse to the same degree as the rest of the federal government.
The Calverton cemetery conducts approximately 30 to 40 burials per day on its 1,045 acres, about 800 of which need to be maintained on a regular basis.
Kristen Parker, a spokesperson for the NCA, said that in the event that the shutdown hits national cemeteries, the government would "do whatever it can not to delay a burial. And it would likely be a day or two. Not weeks."
Funeral homes would be responsible for holding the bodies of deceased veterans while they await their final resting place, according to Parker. In addition, she said, relatives of those who died would still be cared for during any delay in the process.
But many veterans have already had enough. Just after the shutdown hit, a group of vets arrived in Washington to find that they had to remove barricades at the World War II memorial, which had been shut down. And last weekend, Reuters reported that veterans groups took it one step further, removing the barricades and placing them on the lawn of the White House.
"I don't even know if the government would feel bad [if burials were delayed]," said Frank Bania, who runs Boots on the Ground NY, a veterans group that organizes PTSD support groups, motorcycle cavalcades and other efforts to help veterans.
The former commander of Riverhead VFW Post 2476, Joe Edler, said, "I have a funny feeling this should be settled fast, or else I think they're going to hurt a lot of veterans."
If no deal is reached by the end of the month, Mr. Bishop said, the country may not be able to pay out $12 billion in active duty and veterans benefits.
State Senator Lee Zeldin, a Shirley resident who lost a 2008 run for Congress and has since served two terms in Albany, will be taking another run at six-time incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop (D-Southampton) next year, as the Republican has the support of party leaders for the 2014 congressional race.
Mr. Zeldin, 33, announced his candidacy on Monday morning, launching a website along with a video telling voters why he's seeking higher office. He earned 41 percent of the vote in his 2008 run against Mr. Bishop, before defeating state Senator Brian X. Foley with 57 percent of the vote in 2010.
At a time when a large portion of the federal government is not functioning due to a political gridlock in Washington, D.C., U.S. Army Reserves major and former paratrooper states in the video that "we can end the era of fiscal insanity and D.C. dysfunction."
Zeldin said on Monday that financial issues such as "out of control debt and spending" concern him as a candidate, and working in public office over the past few years has prepared him in regards to the political process and issues.
But on Monday morning, Mr. Bishop laid the blame for the current impasse at the feet of a faction of the House Republicans, calling it a "manufactured crisis by the Tea Party wing of the Republicans, who have simply taken over."
Mr. Zeldin will face George Demos in a primary next year. Mr. Demos, a former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer, will be entering his third primary in the First Congressional District after earning just 13 percent of the vote in 2012, and coming in second place with 30 percent of the vote in 2010.
Mr. Bishop, who defeated Randy Altschuler in the last two election cycles, said on Monday morning, "It certainly looks as if Lee Zeldin and George Demos are going to have a very spirited primary. As of now, I'm 100 percent focused on doing my job, and look forward to facing whoever comes out of that primary."
County Republican chairman John Jay LaValle said on Monday morning that Bishop will face his "first real challenge in public office" with the party-backed candidate in Mr. Zeldin, adding that no other candidates had been thoroughly considered to challenge Mr. Bishop.
He also pointed to a recent investigation by the House Ethics Committee into the incumbent congressman that could prove to benefit Mr. Zeldin's run.
"When you're running against an individual who has never served in public office, with no name recognition, that's one race," Mr. LaValle said. "It's another race when individuals like Lee Zeldin – a sitting elected official – steps up."
The following list of local offices and services impacted by the federal government shutdown was provided by Congressman Tim Bishop's press office. We will update it as more information, including reports on the Plum Island research facility, becomes available:
Social Security District Office
The office in Patchogue is open to handle urgent issues such as appeals and benefit applications. Applications for a social security number and to replace a social security card (about 100 requests are received per day) will not be processed.
Social Security benefit payments will not be affected, and will be delivered on time.
Army Corps of Engineers
The Superstorm Sandy supplemental appropriations legislation will continue to fund work on Sandy-related construction projects including the Fire Island to Montauk Point Study and the emergency project to stabilize the beach in Downtown Montauk. Impact on Sandy construction projects and other future operations could be affected in the event of a prolonged shutdown.
106th Rescue Wing at Gabreski Air Base
All or nearly all of the 218 "dual status" technicians who had been previously furloughed due to sequestration budget cuts will now be furloughed for the duration of the shutdown.
Calverton National Cemetery
Operations at the Cemetery are fully funded until Oct.15. Should the shutdown continue past that date, approximately two-thirds of the cemetery's 100 employees will be furloughed, leading to reductions in the number of burials performed and maintenance such as groundskeeping at the cemetery.
Stony Brook University
The direct student loan program will not be affected.
The payment management system at the National Institutes of Health, SBU's largest source of research funds, will be available, but administrative support will not. Researchers can draw down money from their grants unless the request needs to be reviewed or approved. New grant applications can be filed but they will not be acted upon until the workforce returns.
Federal Wildlife Preserves
Fire Island National Seashore will be closed to visitors. Residents and contractors will still be able to access Fire Island at Robert Moses State Park.
Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley and Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Noyac will be closed.
IRS Facility
The IRS field office and the Taxpayer Advocate Service is also closed, employees are furloughed.
US Customs and Immigration Service
The USCIS field office in Holtsville and the entire agency is operating at full capacity because they are primarily funded by user fees.
The following is a statement released Tuesday by local Congressman Tim Bishop (D-Southampton) on the government shutdown in Washington:
"The House GOP has voted to ensure a harmful, and completely avoidable, shutdown of federal government operations beginning today. It is deeply reckless that the House leadership and its Tea Party-dominated caucus have abdicated their responsibility to govern and, instead, have chosen to pursue partisan political goals at the expense of the American people's interests.
"I share the frustration of my constituents that Congress failed to reach an agreement to keep the government operating. However, having failed repeatedly to overturn the Affordable Care Act through the democratic and judicial processes, the House GOP has taken the government — and potentially the nation's full faith and credit — as a hostage. Funding the authorized operations of the government and paying our bills is not a concession to Democrats. It's our job.
"My GOP colleagues should not demand a ransom for simply fulfilling their responsibilities. That is not negotiating or governing in good faith. Giving in to these unreasonable demands would not only jeopardize affordable health coverage for millions of Americans but also further embolden those willing to use destructive tactics to get their way.
"I remain hopeful that there will be a change of heart among my colleagues and the destructive effects of this shutdown will be reversed soon. My offices on Long Island and in Washington will remain open to serve my constituents during this period. It is important to note that Social Security payments, and Medicare and Medicaid coverage are funded through a mandatory appropriations process and will not be affected."
Lawmakers from New York, and one more from Connecticut, pitched a plea to the federal government yesterday, asking the head of the entity in charge of selling Plum Island to sign an executive order to block the island's sale.
Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Southampton) joined Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as Connecticut Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Vernon) in calling for the order, writing that – considering recent zoning restrictions placed on the island by Southold Town leaders – a sale "would do virtually nothing to offset the cost" of a National Bio and Agro Defense Facility, which is slated to be constructed in Kansas. Costs of the new facility have reportedly ballooned to $1.2 billion, up from an original $450 million estimation.
At the end of August, the Southold Town Board voted unanimously to split the 850-acre island into three parcels, essentially keeping its existing uses as a research facility while conserving the majority of the untouched island. Also at the end of August, the federal government reaffirmed its decision to move its Animal Disease Research Facility to Kansas in a formal record of decision, also confirming its decision to sell the land to help defray new construction costs.
Despite the zoning restrictions, a Bishop spokesman clarified on Wednesday that while the congressman is not opposed to the sale of someone who would operate it as such, a high bidder with deep pockets could always challenge the town, possibly resulting in an outcome beside what's currently in mind.
"If it's sold to the highest bidder, potentially they could challenge the zoning instituted by Southold Town," said Oliver Longwell, a Bishop spokesman. "It's not a likelihood, but it's a possibility.
"This is a way to get the administration on record about whether they believe a public sale is required by law, as the General Services Administration is contemplating now."
Supervisor Scott Russell said he supported the letter to the head of the Office of Management and Budget, Sylvia Burwell, adding that the notions of selling the island and opening a new animal research facility should not be one in the same.
"The issue of Plum Island and its future should be separate and distinct from the construction of the NBAF facility," Russell said. The construction of the Kansas lab, he said, "doesn't mean NBAF has to pursue all research under that one roof."

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Barbara J H. passed a background check on 1/28/14. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Barbara J, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Hello, I am Barbara J., a former high school English teacher who has a law degree that is quite helpful to me in many ways, even in tutoring. I taught all levels of juniors and seniors for 10 plus years; this included students who took Advanced Placement English Literature, AP Language and Composition, Honors English, Regular English students who needed remediation as well as gifted students.
As a published, award-winning teacher of juniors and seniors in a large public school system, I was also responsible for preparing students to take the English portions (essay writing, reading, vocabulary, grammar, etc.) of all standardized tests; special emphasis was placed on the ACT and the SAT.
I love teaching and empowering young people, but I also love writing, and that is why I retired in 2007, quite early, to pursue a writing career.
Since 2007, I have written two books: Journaling: Twenty Plus Reasons Why You Should Start Now, was published in 2008; my second book, Coming Full Circle, was published in late January 2012.
Although I retired in 2007,I voluntarily tutored two home schooled teens,a sister and brother,from 2007 until they graduated in June of 2011.I became a certified tutor with WyzAnt in January of 2011,because I truly enjoy helping students become successful,life long independent learners and thinkers who realize that learning really can be loads of fun!
In preparing students for the English portions (reading, essay writing, vocabulary, grammar, etc.) of The ACT, SAT, or The AP Exam in English, I first give students a timed -40 minute- diagnostic writing assignment that quickly reveals their strengths and weaknesses in thinking, organizing and writing their ideas;the diagnostic results allow me to get right to the problem.I also give the students pretests in the subjects, and I systematically give timed practice tests so that they can get a real feel for the exams under exam constraints and conditions; after testing, students and I analyze responses to determine why their answers are right or wrong. Students are also encouraged to look for patterns (good and bad) in their responses so that they can focus on eliminating the bad patterns (not reading the entire question or all options before making a selection,or overlooking key words, for example) and enhancing the good ones. Needless to say, this approach is extremely helpful in building students' confidence. As a result, their scores on the practice tests improve considerably, and because the practice tests are based on actual past exams, students' chances of success on the real tests are increased significantly.
This methodical approach to test taking gives the students the help needed to exercise the discipline and develop the confidence necessary to stay focused on their test preparation until the test is taken.
Needless to say, I spend much time preparing activities, writing prompts, etc., for each session; accommodations are also made for a student's individuality, including preferred, and or dominant learning style(s).
I know how concerned you are as parents about your child(ren)'s education, and I applaud you for taking the extra measures to assure his/her/their success. You should know that I have always taken my responsibilities seriously, and that is why I give to your child(ren) as I'd give to my own.
Continue to encourage your child(ren) and accept nothing but the best from him/her/them;you know better than any one what their best looks like.
Working together, I believe we can help your child(ren) reach his or her highest academic goals!
ACT English is designed to determine, in large measure, a student's readiness to compete successfully at the college level in English, a course that all incoming college students are required to take unless they have tested out by taking and passing a specific test, i.e. The AP English Literature and Composition Test, for example.
A student's devotion to studying over the years is very important, but there are also some strategies and test taking tips that have proven to be quite helpful.
As a high school English teacher for several years, I have considerable experience in preparing students to take this all important test.
Regular sample tests are administered and analyzed to determine why students' responses are right or wrong. Students are encouraged to identify patterns in their responses that are causing them to make the same mistakes repeatedly; tips are given to help eliminate the faulty patterns.
Several timed (same amount of time as allotted on the test) tests are given throughout the preparation process, and these are evaluated by both student and teacher to determine why answers are right or (especially) wrong.
This methodical approach to preparation gives the students the confidence needed to stay focused until the actual test is taken.
It is believed that reading a large and varied amount of information over the years, and writing on a variety of progressively complex subjects, are the best ways to prepare for standardized tests, and when those actions are combined with the processes mentioned here and others I employ as a tutor,the student's success on the test is assured.
ACT Reading, like SAT Reading, is a most important test for students,and it requires focused concentration and comprehension in order for students to receive high scores.
During the first session,students are given a timed diagnostic reading test that reveals their reading strengths and weaknesses.The weak areas become the focal point of the remaining tutoring sessions.
Throughout the sessions, many timed sample tests are administered;samples are graded and analyzed by students so that they can identify patterns that need to be corrected, and to determine why their answers are right or wrong. I oversee this process and frequently, I have shown the students some faulty pattern(s) that they did not detect.
For example, I have found that often time, students overlook key words, unintentionally omit important parts of the passage, or do not know correct meanings of words found in passages.
All of these issues are addressed during the tutoring sessions, and the students are given many strategies and tips to help them over come the weaknesses discovered so that they reach or get closer to their desired scores when the actual test is taken.
Having mastery of English is very important for many reasons: It is one of the most widely spoken languages, and it is the language that identifies its speaker as one who is 'Americanized' or one who respects and considers important the major language of America.
The more fluently one handles English, the more personal opportunities he/she makes possible.
All languages have value and merit, but for those of us who are Americans, speaking fluent English tells everyone that the language is a vital part of the culture and the Country. As a former award winning high school English teacher, I took great pride in helping my students see the importance of mastering English so as to increase their chances of becoming successful in their chosen fields.
Now more than ever, a strong command of English is vital to all who desire to succeed.
As a tutor, I continue to impress upon my students the importance of mastering the English Language.
(Good) grammar, the way by which we effectively express our ideas orally, is such an important skill. Without a clear understanding and command of grammar, it would be virtually impossible to succeed in any field requiring oral communication. No matter what career or area of employment one enters, oral communication is vital, and the facility with which ideas are communicated will determine whether, and how quickly, one advances. Not only is a good and accurate command of language important in the 'work place', it is equally important for social advancement.
Of course, there is a more relaxed atmosphere in most social settings, but even so, using correct grammar is still expected of all, by all.
As an English teacher of all levels of juniors and seniors for several years, I gladly accepted the responsibility of teaching my students "Standard English", even when they preferred not to use it. Exposing them to great, well written stories, novels, essays, etc., by popular authors for example, made it easier for me to teach them the importance of good grammar, and as a result, they knew how to express themselves when talking to their peers and adults, such as the principal, other teachers, or the superintendent of education. We are not only rated and evaluated by how we look; we are also judged and graded by 'how we say, what we say.' Having a good command of language, then, is helpful in every area of our lives;this is especially true if we desire to improve or retain our social status or advance in a chosen career.
I have studied, read, and taught all types of literature, in the high school curriculum, from 9th through 12th grades, including the classics, and contemporary writers. I know that reading widely on many different topics is one of the best ways to develop strong thinking, writing, and reading skills.
These goals are upper most in my mind as I tutor my students in their literature assignments, and whether it's helping them to more fully understand and appreciate Antigone, or a modern work, I meet them where they are and help them to move forward in their understanding, written responses, and thinking, as well as their appreciation of the work.
Preparing students to succeed on standardized tests is a major responsibility that I take seriously, and I have done so for several years. Like all standardized tests, the PSAT is very important because it highlights specific skills that are important to a student's success in school and in life.
A methodical approach, that helps the student grow in confidence as competence increases,is the manner in which I approach this test.
For example, several timed sample tests are given; the samples are similar(many times actual former tests) to the test the student will take;as a result, continuous progress is experienced,and because this is so, success on the actual test is assured,and students,knowing the importance of the test to their advancement in school and in life, make conscious decisions to do their best.
As a life long reader, I believe that reading is key to any success in life,regardless of the trade or business. My love for reading is a major tool I use in helping my students to develop a love and growing appreciation for this all important skill. It is my belief and experience that any type of material can foster good reading and good reading habits.
I therefore, am very open minded about what my students read,and as a result of my love for the written word, it is quite easy to influence my students. Knowing the right questions to ask, at the right time, is made quite easy when one reads widely and frequently.
SAT Reading is a major skill one has to master for college entrance,and for success in college and life.This obvious fact is stressed in the first session, and if it is revealed in my first diagnostic test that the student has weak reading skills, I give him/her high interest, YA novels and stories to read, in addition to their regular class reading; this is done for obvious reasons.
No matter where the students are in their reading, I believe I can help them advance when they are focused, and committed to doing their best, and I have found that most of the students are quite serious about doing their best on this and other standardized tests.
As a SAT Writing tutor, I give students a diagnostic test during the first session; the results tell me where the students are and what skills need to be improved.
Writing, like reading, is so important to a student's overall success in college and in life, and the students are given many opportunities to improve in those areas that are identified as being "weak" during the diagnostic testing. The amount of time the student is given to write, and the type and complexity of the writing prompts, are the same as what appears on the actual test.
Each timed writing is subsequently evaluated so that the student can see what has improved and what needs more work.
This feedback is done consistently,and as a result, students can see their steady progress.
It is always my goal as a tutor/teacher to instill confidence in my students by helping each of them to experience consistent, measurable progress.
Spelling is a very important skill that should not be overlooked. I have found that when basic spelling rules and phonics are taught and reinforced early, no major problems exist, and students can be taught to spell almost any word, regardless of the number of syllables.
The problem occurs when the student does not get exposed to phonics in the early grades, or there is a problem understanding the concepts.
It has been my policy, so far,to only tutor high school students who usually have a good understanding of spelling basics. Sometimes, though not too often, I get a student whose spelling tells me that phonics was not taught or mastered. When this happens, I review some of the basic spelling, and phonics rules with the student. I will often direct the student to specific references that can be used independently.
Spelling is such an important skill that directly impacts many areas of learning;comprehension is one of them; that is why correct spelling must be stressed at every level of learning.
I am a life long learner who understands the importance of acquiring the proper study skills that foster success in whatever endeavor that is undertaken. Throughout high school (Diploma), college (Degree), law school (J.D.),and sundry classes (Gifted Education Certification, etc) after my formal education, I attribute a large portion of my successes to the study skills I was taught, and those I subsequently developed, as primary factors in my overall success as a student,former high school educator, lawyer,and now, author(of two books)/speaker.
No matter what the task, where studying is involved, one needs a quiet consistent place, the proper tools (books, paper, pen, dictionary, thesaurus, etc) a specific goal in studying, i.e. to complete an assignment, study for a test, work on a project, etc., a specific amount of time, focus or sustained concentration, and the ability to prioritize, among other things.
Over the years, I have taught students how to develop good study skills, and as a result, I have seen tremendous improvement in their work products as well as an increase in their confidence and self esteem. I am positive that what I have learned about study skills as a life long learner can be of inestimable help to those WyzAnt students who need to develop these skills.
Teaching vocabulary is very important since no new knowledge is acquired without new words.
One obvious way to expand the "word base" is to read a wide variety of materials that challenges and holds the attention.
As a former high school English teacher for several years, I consciously made "Vocabulary Building" a major part of my curriculum because I know that an extensive vocabulary helps in any area of study or career.
As a Wyzant tutor, I make available, in the first meeting, a list of one hundred (100) words that all high school graduates should know.
The student is told to first go through the list identifying all the words with which he/she is already familiar.Throughout the sessions, the students define,provide at least one synonym and antonym for the words(they are asked to work with at least three words each time) and they are also asked to use the three in one sentence.
Because words change forms and functions, the students are asked to provide various endings; for example, I will ask them to change a noun to an adjective, or an adjective to a noun. Roots and origins of words are also included.
As a student works through the word list, he/she begins to see the importance of having an extensive vocabulary which is especially helpful when he/she begins working on writing assignments, specifically, the SAT, or ACT essay.
When the student has specific vocabulary to study/learn, the same procedure is usually employed; one of the main things added is the use of context clues (when a specific text is assigned) to help with the meaning.
So many fun ways exist to increase one's vocabulary; I have used crossword puzzles, word finds, the jeopardy game, unscrambling words and many others tools to grow and to improve students' vocabulary.
Not only do they have fun with the tools used to expand their vocabulary; they actually "remember" what they have learned long after the fun has ended.
Writing is my passion! I retired from teaching early because I wanted to write, and since retiring, I have written and published two books.
So much can be said about writing.For example, it is a reflection of one's thinking, organizing, and knowledge. I have found that the more clearly one thinks, the more fluent and coherent the writing and organizing.
As a Wyzant tutor, I give my students a forty (40) minute writing diagnostic assignment during the first session, and while the student is writing, the parent/guardian and I discuss their expectations.
The writing is evaluated within one day,and a written analysis is e-mailed to the parents/guardians.
The diagnostic writing is so valuable because it helps me to get right to the problem(s), thus saving both time and money.
So far, most of the students I have tutored need help in several areas,but the main three problem areas are: using a simple vocabulary, not providing enough details, and not using transitions-or appropriate ones- to connect ideas.
Writing is one of the most intimate and effective ways to communicate, and the written words tell each reader much about the writer. One of the main goals in writing then, is to make sure that what is written expresses the writer's ideas in the most accurate, and effective manner.

The organisers of Sir Paul Holmes' funeral say they've taken into account the love and adoration the country has for the broadcaster.
More than a thousand mourners are expected to pay tribute at Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral this afternoon.
With five big screens inside and outside the cathedral, best efforts have been made to make sure people will be able to see and hear the service.
The Very Reverend Jo Kelly-Moore says as Sir Paul touched the hearts of so many, they've had to balance the public's desire to say goodbye, with the family's grief.
"And also we recognise our nation is grieving - somebody who has been in all our homes, and part of all our families in that way.
"So, I think we've worked well together in achieving that."
Jo Kelly-Moore says this funeral, like any other is about loved ones saying goodbye.
"Priority of course is to work with Sir Paul's family, and to care for them in this journey, and that's the heart of our preparation."
EXTRA: Newstalk ZB will be broadcasting the service live from 1pm. Click here for more details

Photographing Star Trails From Space, At 17,000 MPH
These AMAZING photos offer us a glimpse of Earth from the International Space Station. As the ISS circles Earth at roughly 17,000 miles per hour, Flight Engineer Don Pettit takes 30-second exposures with a stock digital camera, then stacks those exposures into single frames that capture 10-15 minutes on the ISS. The rotation is fast enough for long exposures to blur the earth into gilded landing strip beneath a steady rain of stars—a scene I would have never imagined as beautiful before today.

A satellite image of a phytoplankton bloom stretching across the Barents Sea off the coast of mainland Europe's most northern point, Cape Nordkinn. Free-floating phytoplankton highlight the whirls of ocean currents in spectacular shades of blue and green. These microscopic marine organisms that drift on or near the surface of oceans and seas have been called 'the grass of the sea' beca…use they are the foundation of the oceanic food chain. Phytoplankton are able to convert inorganic compounds such as water, nitrogen and carbon into complex organic materials. With their ability to 'digest' these compounds, they are credited with removing as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as their plant 'cousins' on land - therefore having a profound influence on climate. They are also sensitive to environmental changes, so it is important to monitor and model phytoplankton into calculations of future climate change.

A satellite image of the Canary Islands with unique cloud formations, created by 'Von Karman vortices', off the coast of Africa (right) in the Atlantic Ocean. These vortices, named after aeronautical engineer Theodore von Karman, form as air flows around an object in its path, causing it to separate and create eddies in its wake. The clockwise and counter-clockwise spirals in this image were created as wind blowing from the north over the Atlantic was disturbed by the archipelago. The islands are (left to right): El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. © ESA

The 2012 Living Planet Report says we can create more just and equitable societies - providing food, water and energy for all - through the sustainable management of the Earth's natural resources. Everyone - from governments, companies, communities to individual citizens - can accept the challenge to make a difference to our planet. We have the capacity to connect and inspire others to create the future we want.
There is only one Earth. What are you willing to do to protect it? Re-think and re-act.

This image of the Russian east coast (Kamchatka Peninsula) was shared on the Earth Hour Global Facebook Timeline page, just as the world's largest country kicked off its first Earth Hour celebration for 2012. The event took place 9 different times in Russia, as the clocks reached 8:30PM in the various timezones. Organisers say some 15 million Russians took part this year, 40 per cent more than in 2011. These images were shared to celebrate Earth Hour reaching space for the first time, with Astronaut André Kuipers observing the world switch off from the International Space Station.

Super Bowl XLV might as well be renamed "Wing Bowl XLV" given that we consume 1 BILLION chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday! It's definitely on the menu at my house, though instead of the normal deep fried wings, we'll probably marinate and throw them on the grill.
I'm all about the savory/sweet wings; Scott goes traditional with the Buffalo Wings (he's from the Buffalo area, so there's no messing around with tradition) and the boys like anything with lots of cheese, like the Baked Parmesan Garlic Wings.
More Super Bowl stats from Tree Hugger:

BBQ Central's Smoky Sweet Wings

Messy Moroccan Chicken Wings (Apartment Therapy)
Piri Piri Wings (Nibble Me This)
Fire Roasted Sriracha Wings (Nibble Me This)
Do you have a favorite wing recipe? I'd love to hear about it!
My favourite is using soya sauce and thai red curry paste as marinate. I haven't eaten wings in years though.
You have compiled a very interesting collection of wings. With so much wings consumed there must be an abundance of the rest of the chicken.
Pingback: Tweets that mention Chicken Wing Recipes For Super Bowl | Steamy Kitchen -- Topsy.com
One of my favourites is good ol' fried chicken wings, bronzed to perfection. Five spice, Chinese wine, soy, honey, crumbs – heavenly. I'd imagine those sticky versions would be a winner for kids.
Too many to choose from!! They all look so lovely.
Thank-you for your great post, its really intresting and mouth watering. Its easy to prepare and very intresting to read. Definetly ill try this tonight.
I love chicken wings. I use a Restaurant recipe cook book for a lot of my favorite recipes. Check it out. You will to. http://www.nowtvonpc.com/cookbook/
My two all time favorites are 1) Symon's sriracha wings and most recently, 2) piri piri wings.

Education - Colloquium - WPI Only
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Higgins Laboratories
The underlying premise of Nam Suhs axiomatic design is that there is a best design solution for a set of functional requirements (FRs). The selection of the best solution is based on two axioms: first, maximize the independence of the functional elements, and second, minimize the information content. These are two axioms that can be applied to all design problems to find the best solutions.
These design axioms were first postulated by Nam Suh when he was an ME professor at MIT in the late 70s. Nam went on to, among other things, head the engineering directorate at NSF, get an honorary doctorate at WPI, chair ME at MIT, and most recently retire as president of KAIST.
The axioms often can be applied qualitatively to good advantage. A structure is used to apply the axioms rigorously to large design problems. The essence of the structure is a top-down hierarchal decomposition of FRs and the design parameters (DPs) that fulfill them.
Scientific disciplines have a few self-consistent axioms, or laws, that can be applied to a wide range of problems. The axioms transform design from an experiential to a scientific discipline. This makes axiomatic design easier to learn and apply than other design methods. It also makes it easier to evaluate designs and to advise or manage design projects.
Brown earned his PhD at the University of Vermont in 1983. His dissertation was on chip formation in machining. He then spent four years in the Materials Department at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology studying machined surfaces. For two years he was a senior research engineer working on product and process development at Atlas Copco's European research center. Since the fall of 1989 Chris has been on the faculty at WPI. Chris has published over a hundred articles on machining, grinding, axiomatic design, sports engineering, and surface metrology. He has patents on a fractal method for characterizing surface roughness and on an apparatus for friction testing. He also develops software for surface texture analysis. He teaches grad courses on axiomatic design of manufacturing processes and on surface metrology and an undergraduate course on the technology of alpine skiing. He advises senior design projects in mechanical engineering that use axiomatic design. He also consults and teaches courses for industry on axiomatic design and surface metrology. Chris co-chaired the first two International Conferences on Surface Metrology (2009 and 10) and the first two Seminars on Surface Metrology for the Americas (2011 and 12) all at WPI. He is currently chair of ASME B46, Committee for Classification and Designation of Surfaces; and he is Director of WPI's Surface Metrology Laboratory and of WPIs Haas Technical Education Center for CNC machining.

Advice From Josh (To Prefrosh)
My name is Josh. Not to be confused with Josh from FM's Advice to Josh column, which you should check out (here, here, or here). Anyways, I'm a very different Josh, though I too am a freshman here at the College. "The College" obviously refers to Harvard College. As you'll soon learn, Harvard has its own lingo for everything (here's a guide to get you started).
Harvard Alumni We Want To Donate a Building
As the construction of Leverett House comes to a close, there's no better time to reflect on all the new buildings that have recently graced our campus. From Quincy's Stone Hall to the Smith Campus Center, the 2013-'14 school year has seen the architectural philanthropy of alumni with, let's be honest, pretty bland names. Here are some alumni we'd prefer to see christening a building sometime in the future.

Bad Trend Alert: Active Freshman
In the days leading up to Housing Day, the average House listserv will be bombarded with emails. There will be an interminable debate over the color of the housing day shirt. There will be emails demanding you wake up early for housing day. Later, there will be emails demanding you come to Annenberg to scream at the freshmen.
Scene and Heard: Harvard's Drug Class
I had high hopes (pun intended) for the History of Science 140v: "The Historical and Cultural Lives of Drugs in the U.S." lecture I was sitting in on. Would we discuss the pros and cons of doing various drugs? Would we learn that Ben Franklin secretly had a coke problem? Would there be free weed? The possibilities were endless.

It was March 11, and by 2 p.m. the temperature had reached a scorching 55. The ice on the ground had turned to puddles, the birds were chirping, and the flowers were practically bursting into bloom.

Only She Cums Answers A Question
Posted 2 years ago
I couldn't figure out how to reblog a questions OnlySheCums Answered so I did this.
Has he given up cumming forever, or is it short term denial games you play? Do you find she has more and stronger orgasms when she knows, she is cumming for both of you.
We do it because its loving fun, and I don't see the fun or love in NEVER letting him cum. I tease him at least every day, and while he might not get to CUM every day, how many husbands can say they get that kind of action from their wife EVERY DAY? I think he appreciates the attention I give him, which is why he gives up his orgasms to me… I make it worth the wait. He gets to cum, but only when I say he can… it varies from multiple times a day to every other month, depending on what kind of mood I'm in. The longest he's gone without coming is just short of three months, but that was because of a dice game that wasn't going in his favor (I loved it!), and once I start a game, we stick to it until it's finished (no pity-cums for him). I try to switch it up so he never has a clue when the next one will be, which works the best to keep him hoping, and hoping to cum keeps him horny. And yes, I cum harder when I know he's insane with horny denial… that's my favorite turn-on. What could be any more sexy than super-tight cum-stuffed blue balls powering a raging denied hard-on that's dripping with pre-cum… and it's all because of me… waiting for my sole permission to explode? Tell me. What could possibly be sexier than that?

Three thousand American troops on the ground in Liberia will provide limited assistance in the fight against Ebola. It may not be enough to eliminate the disease from the region, but will undoubtedly help strained healthcare authorities regain momentum. But American forces in Liberia do more than just fight Ebola, they also help us to comprehend the grave threat that disease poses to our way of life. We must ensure that their sacrifice is not in vain. Now is the time to prepare.
