Learning Objectives:
Remember when you were in graduate school and you looked forward to helping people because it was the right thing to do? Then you worked in agencies and eventually had a private practice and you thought: "Hey, there is an actual financial piece to all of this."

Another added benefit…when you make more money, you can create more pro-bono slots in your schedule. These counselors all have an entrepreneurial spirit.

"This is the most intriguing novel I've read in many a year. Irvin Yalom has created a taut, deeply informative page turner. I enthusiastically recommend The Spinoza Problem."
Sir Anthony Hopkins, actor
"Irvin Yalom is the most significant writer of psychological fiction in the world today. I didn't think he could top When Nietzsche Wept or The Schopenhauer Cure, but he has. The Spinoza Problem is a masterpiece." Martin E. P. Seligman, author of Flourish, Past President of American Psychological Association
"I believe Irv Yalom to be the greatest living psychotherapist. He speaks to counselors, psychiatrists, and others with the same depth of knowledge and inspiration. As a brand new counselor, I read Love's Executioner. The rich stories of the relationship with the client really spoke to me. More than twenty years later I read 'Staring at the Sun' and was again deeply moved by Dr. Yalom's views on life, work, and death. His profound and timeless writings not only inspired a young clinician, they helped a seasoned professional to embrace and celebrate the magic of our work."

BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.

Does Creature start feeling KOTR fatigue and slow down at this point? Hell no. This is their wildest part yet. Hell yeah.
King of the Road 2012: Webisode 6

King of the Road 2012: Webisode 5
The mid-way point is a bizarre mix of competition, relaxing, and having a blast. Here's a board toss, high-speed relay race, and the Mystery Guests revealed: Jaws, Ryan Decenzo, Austyn Gillette, and David Gonzalez.

King of the Road 2012: Webisode 2
It would be pointless to rank which KOTR team had the most fun, but let's just say the Creature footage speaks for itself. Here's Gravette, Reyes, Partanen, Hitz, Conover, Bingaman, and Navarrette in ALBQ.
King of the Road 2012: Webisode 1
It's here. The gnarliest, funniest, best KOTR yet. We start off with Antihero in Portland. Gerwer, Pfanner, Roy, Trujillo, Allen, Hewitt, Russo, and Cardiel. If you didn't get the DVD free with the February mag we weren't going to leave you behind. Here we go...

Economic Inclusion
The West Midlands economy is influenced by a complex range of related issues and driven by business, place and people; plus the need to provide a powerful voice for the region.
Economic inclusion is important to supporting a healthy and dynamic business base, improving the places for business and people to thrive and developing opportunities for people to create wealth and employment.
What we mean by economic inclusion
Economic Inclusion is the term used to describe policies, programmes and interventions targeted at groups of people or places which are not fully able to participate in economic life either as a consumer, producer or both. It is not just about being in employment – people can be excluded from other elements of the economy such as access to financial services; many people are in and out of employment on a regular basis.
Our role in economic inclusion
We currently chair the West Midlands Economic Inclusion Panel which pulls together the public, private and voluntary sectors to find new and innovative solutions to high levels of worklessness and drive the Economic Inclusion agenda in the region.
We aim to do this in two main ways: Firstly, our strategic leadership role; that is providing direction on economic inclusion and working with partners; and secondly the use of our resources.

BASF merges water, oil field, and mining businesses; cuts 215 jobs
8:27 AM MDT | March 27, 2013 | Ian Young
BASF says it will combine its water solutions, oil field solutions, and mining solutions businesses, effective 1 April, to create a new global business unit. The restructuring involves about 215 job losses worldwide in the water solutions business, most of which will be at UK sites at Bradford and Grimsby. BASF aims to complete the job cuts by the end of 2015. "The planned measures are needed to achieve cost competitiveness," BASF says. BASF also intends to divest an industrial water-management business located at Lyon, France, as part of the...

With the holidays approaching, I'm going to give this forum a vacation. I'll be back in 2014 to continue these lessons--if you want me to.
It's no secret that I've been frustrated from the get-go by my inability to get more participation. I can't help but think that my lessons need to be more relevant to FaithWriters--but I can't know what you all need if you don't let me know what that is.
My last lesson only got one response--and that was after I went to that person and sought out her input.
Please let me know--what do you need in a writing forum? Is this too easy? Too hard? Too irrelevant? Help!

Published: 05 September 2012
PIGS might fly but according to the Northern Ireland Tourist Board so too can the milk-providing variety of animal as its 'ni2012 cows', part of the world's largest public art exhibition, are being herded to Belfast International Airport (BFS) this week.
The art exhibition involves up to 200 fibre glass cows being transformed into magnificent sculptures by local artists and community groups and NITB's herd of cows have been designed using the now highly-recognisable ni2012: our time, our place colours of pink, blue and yellow.
The ni2012 cows have been visiting towns and cities around Northern Ireland during the summer for one week at a time. After appearances in Portrush, Derry~Londonderry, Bangor, Warrenpoint, Omagh, Armagh, Downpatrick and Enniskillen, the cows are making a flying visit to BFS w/c September 3.
The cows will be grazing in the grounds of the airport until September 10 and NITB is encouraging people across the country to visit the cows until they mooove onto pastures new.
While the cows have been travelling over the summer they have been stopping along the way to visit some of Northern Ireland's iconic locations and tourist attractions to have their photo taken including Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, Marble Arch Caves, the Mournes and Slieve Gullion.
NITB's ni2012/13 manager Siobhán McGuigan is thrilled that NITB is part of the Cow Parade.
"We decided to get involved in the Cow Parade as 2012 is such a momentous year for Northern Ireland. It is a great way to showcase our towns and cities and encourage people to visit the public art sculptures as they graze in different areas," said Siobhán.
"There has been a number of cows on display throughout the cities of Derry and Belfast but the ni2012 cows were the only herd that have been moooving across Northern Ireland to be displayed in different areas and we've had a fantastic response from people coming out to see them," she added.
Make sure that you go and visit the cows so that they're not lonely and post your pictures on our Discover Northern Ireland Facebook page. To follow the cows as they travel around Northern Ireland and to see where they've already been, visit www.ni2012.com, where you can also see a behind-the-scenes video of Mooty's very valiant attempt at surfing at Portballintrae's Runkerry Strand.
More than 70 cities across the globe have hosted a Cow Parade since 1999 but this is the first time it has come to Northern Ireland as well as the first time it has taken over an entire region rather than just one city.
For more information on the Cow Parade and attractions in Northern Ireland click on www.discovernorthernireland.com or visit your local tourist information centre. You can also keep up-to-date with the latest news, images, videos and competitions by visiting http://www.facebook.com/discovernorthernireland.

Irene falls in love with Graham and assumes the task of remembering everything for both of them, while they wait for his memory to come back. But Graham's memory is slow to return.

|A Blessing of Bread
Recipes and Rituals, Memories and Mitzvahs
By Maggie Glezer
Two times James Beard award winning author Maggie Glezer is a woman of many hats.
While Maggie and her family were living in Tucson, Arizona in the early 90's, this stay - at - home mom became passionate and obsessed with the science of baking. As she told us, "instead of drinking too much, she chose baking too much". Her baking addiction evolved into a successful avocation and career. Maggie's interest in artisan bread baking took her to Manhattan, Kansas where she consulted with Tom McMahon, founder of the Bread Bakers Guild of America. an organization with a mission to shape the knowledge and skills of the artisan baking community through education. She contributed numerous articles to the Guild's professional magazine. Then In 1993 she attended the Culinary Institute of America for an intense 10 day baking course with famed French baking expert, Professor Raymond Calvel.
Maggie's dream was to write a book about baking. Now, finally armed with the knowledge to do so, she experienced a "chance" encounter with Julia Child, who was a special guest at a 1998 Baker's Guild convention. And, alongside Julia was her publisher, Ann Bramson. The publisher was bombarded with accolades about Maggie's articles on bread baking, and invited Maggie to submit some to her. And so it happened; Maggie's first award-winning book was born, Artisan Baking Across America: The Breads, The Bakers, The Best Recipes became a best selling reality winning a James Beard Book Award!
After this successful achievement, Maggie's Atlanta friend, Chabad Rabbi Eliyahu Shusterman, suggested that her next book should be about challah baking. And so it is! A Blessing of Bread became Maggie's second James Beard Winner, also received The IACP Cookbook Award and is a "must have" book for bread bakers.
It took her several years to research and test the recipes and it shows. A Blessing of Bread features recipes for challahs from around the world, as well as babkas and honey cakes, bagels and matzot, crackers and everyday breads such as deli rye.
The book is a journey into traditions – bread-making traditions of Jews from around the world: Ashkenazi Jews from Austria-Hungary to Russia. Sephardic Jews from Greece to Syria. North Africa Jews from Morocco to Ethiopia. Near Eastern Jews from Israel to Uzbekistan.
In addition to fabulous recipes, some beginner level, some more advanced, Maggie shares challah and bread baking tips – including types of flour and supplies, stories about the origins and history of each recipe, and detailed pictures on multiple challah braiding techniques– tapered braids, single-stranded, high two-stranded, high four-stranded, twinned pan braids - to name a few.
This is a "must have" book if you love to bake bread, love to read about bread and its history, know someone who bakes bread, or just want to give a beautiful gift.
Maggie has graciously offered to share challah baking advice with KosherEye readers. If you have a question, email it to us at: ContactUs.
Some tips from Maggie:
And Maggie shared her latest bread baking tip with us – she no longer kneads the bread. She skips this step entirely:
Please try two challah recipes from A Blessing of Bread - Czernowitzer Challah and Savory Olive Oil Challah.
Guess what Maggie's doing now? She is following her newest obsession (no not Marshal Arts or Belly Dancing, been there, done that) but she is passionate about her new hobby – gold and silver smithing. We are certain that she will shine!
Maggie's amazing, award winning cookbooks are available on Amazon.com: Artisan Baking and A Blessing of Bread: The Many Rich Traditions of Jewish Bread Baking Around the World

Speaker Curator / Teacher, TEDxTokyo
This conversation is closed.
What is the best way to use a TEDx event to motivate teachers to be more creative, entertaining, innovative, enthralling, etc.?
I am starting to think about the next TEDxTokyoTeachers and I would love to hear what the TED community has to say about motivating teachers TED style. I know there are a lot of workshops and education seminars that focus on making better teachers, but what can I do with a few hours, a few drinks, and a TEDx format to make better teachers?
If you are in the Tokyo area in March I would be more than willing to get your idea on stage.
Oct 7 2012: Get some motivated students to deliver talks where they have been inspired to greatness by something a teacher did or said. It may be hard to find one of these students that has not at least been partially inspired by a great teacher. Might also be neat to fly the teacher to the presentation to hear the talk, and perhaps introduce them at the end.
Oct 7 2012: Hi Robert, I love this idea.
I think at the last event there was talk of this but because of a few reasons, including that this was a later evening event with alcohol served, it was shelved.
But having a student identify a truly inspirational teacher and then have that teacher come out and do a talk would be a great way to kick off the event. I also help out with TEDxYouth@Tokyo so I know some youth who are familiar with the TEDx format.
Thanks for this inspiration!
When I get this happening I will contact you and you can watch the live stream. Cheers!
Wade Crum
Oct 9 2012: I was thinking also about putting the students on the podium. However, I would interview even younger students and ask them what THEY think school should be. Very open ended question. I'd be interested to see what they have to say.
- +1
I may have stated this before in another education post, but I think it's worth offering up again: I would propose to let students choose from a list of mini-courses...early in their education. After completeing a balanced portfolio of these courses, the students might have an idea of which specialties the wish to go further in. At this point let them aquire all the skills necessary to acheive "chosen specialization". Now the student has a reasonable interest in improving his/her education. Learning for learning's sake can be quite bland and over-reaching. Let the student s direct their own curricula.....why wait till college?
Gail .
Sep 25 2012: I can only speak of the US educational paradigm, and what I have to say is not good. Educators seem to be the biggest deterrent to educational reform. They cling to the pedagogical view that teachers are there to teach and students are there to learn. It is a rare teacher (I've never met one, but I love the videos you present and have seen others) who believes that teachers are there to inspire the joy of learning. They simply do not see that as an objective. They use excuses like standardized testing, but a rare few "get it". One can compete in standardized testing while inspiring the joy of learning. It's more challenging. It requires more of a teacher.
- +2
Two weeks ago, I was in my knitting circle and the issue of the Chicago teachers' strike came up. The majority of the group are retired teachers who supported the strike. They also realized that there has to be reform in education, but from their point of view, that means ending standardized testing.
I mentioned that I had only recently understood why that is a bad thing, and that the teachers would do well if they would educate parents about why it is a bad thing. No one in the group would let me continue. They didn't want to hear about Dr. Kaku as he explained it. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LelNYqVEOZQ&list=PL89DA217D574A8362&index=8&feature=plpp_video ) Turns out, they don't know what's wrong with it themselves.
I started to mention a TED video where research is showing that if you put kids in small groups (pods) and allow them to talk about what they are learning, that the kids seem to have visual memory of the events, and they remember things far longer. The group was outraged. Put the desks in a row facing the teacher and let the teachers teach - that's what they're there for.
I've become pretty convinced that teachers should have term limits. A year of volunteerism. Either that, or teachers should have to compete for students like businesses have to compete for clients.
Sep 25 2012: TED Lover,
It sounds like you were in a very conservative group of teachers/people and as an educator I know some teachers like that, but, and here comes the good news, there are a lot of great teachers out there moving away from just memorizing and testing, and getting kids to work together to solve problems, learn from each other and then later reflect on it by writing it down and learning it again. The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) http://www.ibo.org/ is one very large group that has some great ideas around learning.
I like your idea of competing for students, could be a great way to stay motivated and in the game. Term limits would also limit really good teachers...how would you keep them in the system?
Oct 8 2012: I've heard myself saying "term limits" too and share the fear of losing good teachers, but what if we had an educational system where there is encouragement to move up? For example: a teacher fulfils the term (say 10 years) then moves up into a position of training and mentoring, administration (school level or higher) or curriculum development?Oct 22 2012: ...continued...
This is because outside stimuli activates the internal processes needed for learning. The brain must be "in the mood" to learn. We must focus on enhancing the positive "moods" in our child's emotional circuit. In a positive "state" a child will be more apt to absorb, respect, and analyze information being presented.
Another great tool is one on one conversations. Don't just ask a question and wait for the first few to raise their hands. Get involved. Pick a student you know understands the material first when asking questions. This will ensure nobody feels stupid for analyzing the data incorrectly.
Teachers need to be aware of how sensitive children are to information flow. If you project information you better be sure it is "encoded" correctly. If you fail to do this…one confrontation with a child can close him off to you forever. Ensure you have positive relationships with students that aren't superficial forms of "hello and goodbye" . Understand they want your approval and need your attention as they may not be getting it elsewhere.
Target the children who love learning and facilitate more difficult tasks to challenge them. Motivate other children to join these groups that do more difficult work…inspire them to understand the benefits of "difficult work" and "critical thinking". Don't allow them to use social procedure outside of the classroom…inside of the classroom. Take control….do your thing!Oct 22 2012: The best way to motivate teachers is vision. Give them vision if they lack motivation to create or become more entertaining. I would like to believe that anybody taking a lowly wage to teach...loves the job. That's why teachers inspire me. It is not a glam position...but should be.
Vision is not something easily aquired. It is the projection of possibility through a complex web of "what if's". It takes focus and critical thinking to uncover better teaching strategies. The teacher should understand the material...and then understand how to manipulate the data....just that raw data the student needs. We need not format every idea....creative designs can have greater impacts in the academic arena than any text-book.
Let's take a history class.
Teacher A - Mrs.Doubtmired
Teacher B - Mrs.Gogettums
Teacher A has a problem motivating students to stay awake. Her class constantly comes back with bad test scores...and the school staff is begnning to question Mrs.Doubtmired's ability to teach.
Teacher B has no problems motivating her class. Her classes constantly score higher on tests than any other class in the history of the school. Mrs. Gogettums is respected and loved by her peers.
We can think of math...and then reveal a real formula behind teaching strategies.
Mrs. Doubtmired = (d)
Mrs. Gogettums = (g)
(g) - (d) = Solution
(d) Mrs. Doubtmired shows no emotion when she speaks. She uses no visual aids and doesn't seem interested in the material herself. She doesn't mean to be this way. However, she has never taken any time to better her communication skills.
Mrs. Doubtmired doesn't take the time to analyze the raw data. Let's take a look at the raw data and then formulate a solution to our problem.
Raw Data - Children are not recieving/storing an appropriate amount of data.
"Raw Problem" - I need to analyze strategies to increases data flow in my classroom.
Solution Example - Decorating a classroom is shown to have positive impacts on learning.Oct 10 2012: Too often we stray from the central purpose of education which is to foster learning in our children. Have the teachers learn something new at the workshop. Maybe it is how to juggle, how to knit or how to throw an american football. The actual skill does not really matter. Set it up in a way that the teachers will be successful and then engage them in listing the factors that helped them achieve their goal. Then ask them how they can promote those same factors within their own school and communities.
Oct 24 2012: Great advice.
This year I am hoping to have someone teach us how to replace the inside of a toilet, or fix a leaky faucet.
Last year we wanted to have someone show them how to install a window, but ran out of time. But you are right, teaching is for learning, and if they can learn something new, then the event is a success.
Thanks for your reply!
Cara Renna
Oct 8 2012: Presentations that follow the old chinese proverb: tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand. It won't be neat and orderly, but it would be so much fun! Get their hands dirty with resources, break into quick discussion groups immediately after presentations, give them activities to do in their seats related to the presenter's topics. Best of luck, Jason!
- +1
Oct 22 2012: Hi Cara
I really like this idea! I have been thinking about getting the audience to do something in their seats with the people around them...but what to get them to do is the question. Any ideas? What kind of activities?
I was thinking to get them to talk and see who in the group has a great idea worth sharing and somehow getting a round robin where the 'winner' could have the chance to speak stage during the second session.
How to organize this is the question...I will keep thinking.
Oct 23 2012: How about presenting your suggested opportunity to the audience before lunch? You could designate some nearby eating establishments based on areas of interest/expertise so attendees with ideas regarding science could meet at Banzi Sushi (for example) share their insights and vote for a member of their group to mini present at the end of the day? Still a lot of logistics to work out, but something to consider.
One of the best teacher trainings I have ever attended was a full day of presenters walking their talk. The training on collaborative teaching was collaboratively presented, the "keep kids engaged" idea involved us folding and tearing paper into "notebooks" and taking lecture notes as directed by our presenter, a variety of graphic organisers were in our hands for our use as yet another presenter shared with us his experiences in using them. We emerged with presentations, resources and first hand use in trying them from the learners perspective. That was awesome. Maybe some of your presenters would be able to do this as well?Sep 29 2012: I have been teaching in international education for 29 years, and I can assure you that there are MANY teachers who value innovation and alternatives to standardized testing! I view my role as a facilitator in the classroom, while my students work collaboratively to explore big picture topics through guided inquiry. The most valuable learning occurs when they are doing the talking. I also see the relationships within the school community as being paramount to creating a learning environment where children feel free to take risks, make mistakes and learn. Children need to be able to play a significant role in the decisions about how they learn best, and to have experiences discovering this. And parent education is essential in creating a community focused on partnership and mutual respect. I am currently working on a book about these most important aspect of education.Oct 24 2012: have been a Special Education Teacher for 30 years. I never tell my students that they have made a mistake.
I say it's a Miss Take. You can try again! I also sing to my students. Around here we always sit up tall. I say O they say K. One teacher I know sings class class class and the students say yes, yes, yet. A muti-modality approach is best. These strategies are very apparent at the elementary school. We must empower our studentsOct 22 2012: haha thank you Jason :)Oct 20 2012: Maybe to involve them by asking them to go back to their childhood and tell about their most exciting, creative moment?Oct 16 2012: Creating a culture of psychological safety is key, too many approaches to school improvement start from the premise that teachers need fixing. I have had incredible success using a novel peer observation tool linked to executive coaching techniques that have changed teachers lives and created sustainable results. This needs embedding in a structure which uses practitioner research to improve learning for adults and students.

Oct 15 2012: Work your butt off ! Know the hell out of the subject matter. Express to the children that you feel honored to be their teacher. Use every discipline control technique available to maintain order. Be most frugal with humor and juvenile joviality; but don't completely be a prude. Once in a while stray from teaching to explain about appropriate facts of life: How to use Kleenex to muffle a sneeze and cough and why. Teaching the facts of life that are not in a book are golden for gaining respect from children.
- 0
Oct 22 2012: Frugal with humor and juvenile joviality? That is something I am not doing at all...
Can you expand on our Kleenex advice. I am not quite following but am interested.
Sams dad
Oct 22 2012: re Frugal: I am of the school that young students look for serious adult leadership, not a pal. I'm not advocating being unfriendly, just that school time is for learning and not so much for telling jokes and laughing away valuable learning time. Tell a joke at the end of class on Fridays that's AOK with me.
- 0
If you use a kleenex like a flat sheet it is ok for collecting mucus but it will not muffle sound. It needs to be turned into what I call, "a rosette" that is: wadded so that it is a fluffy ball. Then use that to sneeze into or cough into. It muffles sneeze sound and cough sound very nicely. AS such it shows respect for a lecturer or teacher or minister etc. It also teaches those around you that you are a caring person; and it teaches them "good manners" and it shows that you have good manners.
Oct 24 2012: I agree with you on the frugal part, but I slip down the slippery slope joviality too often and see what you mean. Something to improve on!
I will try to get that tissue lesson in...we have some serious hay fever seasons here in Japan so it will be useful!
Thanks for that advice.Oct 10 2012: Inspire by example and bring some kids / students and have them tell their side of the story and how their teachers impacted their lives would be my method of choose.
Oct 22 2012: A different Robert below mentioned this idea...you Roberts are a clever lot.Oct 4 2012: Jason, The US educational system is struggling. I read comments about bad teachers. To be fair there proibally are some. However, the system does not allow a lot of wiggle room. Due to Federal and state intervention, high stake testing, and the need to teach the test to satisfy the new STEM and common core curriculum requirements that have been imposed teachers are stretched to meet the students needs. The result is that to solve the problem has become the goal. The goal IMO should be application. Graduates are not expected to "know" the subject only to pass the test.
The US system is driven by the text book writers and the test developers. All syllabus will reflect what they provide. We can learn a lot from the high results that Singapore achieved in the last PISA exams. The change in philosophy that made the success that they currently enjoy should be explored and the lessons taken to all systems to be evaluated and integrated where possible.
Through legislation and unions the public has been taken out of the public school systems. Parental involvement is limited and volunteers are put in their place and treated poorly. Budgets are dwindling and requiremenrs are growing.
Great teachers have great administrators that support their efforts ... great parents that support the teacher ... and great students that have the desire to learn. Great teachers find a way to involve the parents, community, and bring the administration into the effort.
The answer is not money, motivation, or resources .. the answer lays in finding a path through the maze so that the light at the end of the tunnel is not an on coming train.
We also need to admit that college is not the goal for everyone. We need to embrace manual trades as well. Having a dual track available would resolve many issues and faciltate many students needs in both college prep and manual trades.
I wish you well. Bob.
Oct 4 2012: I understand what you mean by maneuvering through the maze. Great teachers tend to try to "fly under the radar" of short-sighted administrative requirements as much or as long as they can.Sep 25 2012: I would include a qualified speaker who can address what the learning sciences have revealed about how children learn as well as some speakers presenting concrete examples, with video, of effective teaching strategies and tools for a population mix such as your teachers have.
As part of your planning for the event, take a look at the Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences. I am certain you will get ideas for what sort of speakers to invite from the articles you read there. It is not "scientific" material in the normal sense, but it is state of the art in terms of what we know about learning, effective classroom organization, and pedagogy.
Sep 25 2012: This sounds great, but maybe more suited for a traditional conference or a workshop.
We are short on time and last year had speakers max out at ten minutes, most averaging 8. I need speakers who will motivate teachers to seek out this material, either at a workshop, book or online.
I suppose they could do it as a teaser trailer.
Thanks for reply...I will definitely look up that book!

Dearborn County – Last evening a five month long investigation culminated in the arrest of a second suspect in a case where two former casino employees allegedly took over $400,000 from the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg.
Last evening former Hollywood Casino Surveillance Technician Director, Christopher Krabbe, age 42 from West Harrison, Indiana, met State Police Investigators at the Dearborn County Jail where he was lodged on charges of Racketeering-Corrupt Business Influence, Theft and Money Laundering, all Class "C" Felonies.
On Tuesday evening investigators had arrested the former Hollywood Casino Surveillance Director, Michael Burnett, age 39 of Fairfield, Ohio, at the Dearborn County Jail. Burnett was charged with the same three Class "C" Felonies as Krabbe.
The charges stem from the two men allegedly setting up two false security equipment companies. The two would then purchase security equipment and charge repair work from their companies to the casino, often overcharging and double billing for the equipment and work.
Versailles Post Investigators were assisted in the investigation by investigators from the Indiana Gaming Commission.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Saturday, May 07, 2011
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (May 6, 2011) �" ETSU senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) improved by four strokes over her first round effort from Thursday, posting a second round score of 4-over-par 76 and moving up 21 spots on the individual leaderboard Friday at the NCAA Central Regional hosted by Notre Dame at the Warren Golf Course.
The Buccaneers' top performer this season carded a round that included five bogeys and a birdie. She fired a 3-over 39 on the front nine and a 1-over 37 on the back, moving up from a tie for 79th to a tie for 58th by the end of the day.
Muehl said she was much happier with her play in the second round, and was excited to continue that trend in the third and final round.
"It went much better today, and my putting was much more solid," Muehl said. "I was able to make some important saves to keep my score together. My short game is getting better and better every day, so I am excited about that continuing tomorrow. Coach and I are going to enjoy the course for the last time and show what the Bucs can do."
Fans can follow the action of the third and final round at the NCAA Central Regional by visiting Golfstat.com. In addition, ETSUBucs.com will have a complete wrap up of the day's action following play.
