Principal's Message
Greetings Vikings
Congratulations to the class of 2016. We celebrated their graduation on Friday June 3rd at UMBC. What a joyous day. There will be opportunity for those that need to complete a credit or two to finish over the summer and participate in the August Graduation Ceremony.
Students in Grades 9-11 will be finishing strong with the time remaining. Remember the 4th quarter GPA determines your eligibility for fall sports, for the 2016-17 school year.
As we develop next year's schedule students have many opportunities for internships, CCBC and Advanced courses. You need to work with your counselor to make sure you college & career path is planned accordingly.
The last day of school is set for June 17th. Finals week will be June 10th- 17th. You must participate in the final exams so your Final Grade is not lowered.
If you are going to EYLP (Extended Year Learning Program) to earn back a credit, this will take place at Lansdowne Middle School. We will not have any student activity here at the high school because of the Window Replacement Project. The summer programs are held at the middle school from June 21- July 29th.
I would like to wish everyone a safe and relaxing summer.
Ken Miller

Congratulations to Ms. Amato on being named the June 2016 Inspirational Educator of the Month.
Ms. Amato teaches a wide array of classes here at LHS, including ESOL and Algebra 1. She's a natural for teaching ESOL, as she previously taught Spanish I, II, III, and IV at another school before coming to LHS. She also coaches soccer here (she enjoys playing soccer recreationally as well), and is a high ropes instructor.
Ms. Amato's inspiration to the teaching vocation was inspired by her experiences volunteering for a year in Peru. She says that teaching high school felt surprisingly natural, and that developing relationships with those students got her "hooked on being in the classroom." Anyone who has seen her with her students knows that she devotes herself tirelessly to building those relationships here at LHS also. Further evidence of this comes from her citing the ESOL population and the teachers who are so willing to and amazing at connecting with them as her favorite things about this community.
Ms. Amato calls Baltimore her hometown, and stayed within the state for her higher education. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree at Mount St. Mary's University, before going on to earn her Masters of Arts in Teaching from Goucher College.
We count ourselves fortunate to have such a talented and brilliant educator here at LHS. It is with great Viking Pride that we celebrate this award for Ms. Amato. One can imagine her celebrating with some of her favorite homemade hummus. Congratulations!

I studied Modern Standard Arabic at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California back in 1989 and now that I want to study Arabic again, Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya is the best resource I have found. Trust me, I've reviewed so many books out there - This is honestly the best one that I've seen. The DVD is a great plus.
If you are trying to learn Arabic on your own, from scratch, I think you will be in for a rude shock. Perhaps you'll learn some tourist Arabic, but that's about it. If you have access to a teacher/tutor of Arabic, then get the book, Alif Baa, go through that and then tackle Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya.
Good Luck.
PS. A great way to supplement your vocabulary is to use the "Before You Know It" software program from [...] (I think that's the URL) - it's the best software program I've seen for building vocabulary as you get to see/hear the word in a flashcard format. I would definitely use this program in conjunction with Alif Baa and Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya.
-The majority of vocabulary words are not interrelated, which makes memorizing a list of thirty or forty words rather difficult.
-The grammar concepts are not explained well. In addition to the poor explanation, the book often revises what one has learned in previous lessons later in the book. The order in which grammatical structures are explained is absurd: why would one wait until the 8th lesson to explain word roots? The concept of roots makes memorzing and learning words so much easier -- not to mention the fact that knowing a root allows one to guess new words based on the root.
-The DVDs are a nice feature, but the actors often talk too quickly and there is no script provided so that the student may follow along with the video.
Overall, if you are using Al-Kitaab with a talented instructor, this textbook is tolerable. From sources that I know, the University of Michigan is going to be publishing a much more organized, easy-to-follow introductory level Arabic textbook soon. It might not be a bad idea to wait until that textbook series comes out.
If you are looking to 'teach yourself' Arabic, start with 'Alif-Baa' or some other alphabet book of choice. Even then, I wouldn't recommend 'Al-Kitaab' for self-study. There are simply far too many nuances of the Arabic language that this book fails to address. The poor organization and terrible grammar sections would make self-study with this series torture.
The Arabic language, while difficult for non-native speakers to master, is such a beautiful one: do yourself a favour and find a talented instructor from whom to learn this language (or if you're a self-learner, find a different textbook series).
Secondly, the type is rather 'fuzzy' and important short vowel and pronunciation symbols (written above and below the main script) are often either left off or completely illegible. While it is true that in advance Arabic these symbols are often not shown, for a beginner they are very important.
Another poor design charastic of the book is that the table of contents is listed almost exclusively in Arabic so if a beginner needs to make a quick reference to something they can spend hours trying to find where it is located in the book.
The accompanying DVDs are a great idea but not very well done. The language is given too quickly - more at the rate of an intermediate or advanced level - and there is no accompanying written dialogue to help the student figure out what is being said.
The Vocabulary on the DVD often times has a huge, long sentence to show how to use a single, small word. BEginners learn more easily and much more quickly when they are given small, bite size bits that they can easily digest and use in everyday conversations. (I created my own work around to this by having native Arabic speakers record the vocabulary words for me on an MP3 player)
While the grammar concepts tend to be well explained, there are not enough exercises to practice the concepts after the explanation. A really great idea would have been to have lots of exercises WITH answers so that the student could immediately check their work and see if they are on the right track or not. Instead the student has to buy the answer key... and the answer key is very difficult to read!
Also, the end of each chapter should have a brief synopsis of all grammar points gone over in the chapter so if the student wants a quick glance to refresh their memory, they aren't leafing through countless pages of fuzzy, black and white print.
This book seems to be the standard at the moment for a lot of colleges and universities offering Arabic language courses and I'm not sure why it is. In a day of Adobe Illustrator and other text languages it would be fairly easy to create a nice text with color type to highlight important points and other key grammar issues.
In summary:
Lacks practical conversation practice.
Has very poor type quality
Offers no way for students to check their work
Poor table of contents
DVD soundfiles too much for beginner students.
On the plus side, it does explain grammar points well.
The DVD is the main highlight:
-They have DVDs, which I noticed the other "competitors" of the series does not have. This way I get to listen to the language. The book and DVDs focuses on the Egyptian dialect, so if this is the dialect that you want to focus on then that is a big plus.
-The DVD uses everything that you have learned in the chapter: vocabulary and grammar
Another good thing:
-The book presents culture (hidden within the DVDs) but on the other hand my professor is the one that pointed out the culture for us to see and took us on field trips.
The bad:
-For the book to be really "effective," a good teacher is needed. This is far from a self-help book.
-I completely agree with an earlier review which said that the vocab is not interrelated
-I would think that vocab should be equivalent to the student's level in the language. For example, I learned how to say "United Nations" before I ever learned something more useful to a beginner, such as "house." (To be fair, there is a book that comes before this book. "Alif Baa" teaches you the alphabet and some basic vocabulary, but still not enough to be by any stretch a prequel to Part 1. But I did not use this book in my first semester of Arabic and I don't think many other Arabic programs do either.)
-It was two weeks of the alphabet and then straight into this book. This was extremely overwhelming for me and others in my class. Parts of the table of contents were in Arabic and already within the first several chapters are full texts in Arabic... Too much of the book is in Arabic--it's like they think I will "catch on" or something
-The grammar is unorganized and often times made no sense.
-The organization of the book is horrible. For example, if I wanted to look up grammar I learned a while back it is difficult to do so both because of the condition of the table of contents and because the text just blends in with everything else (put the grammar in a box, bold it, or something!)
-The glossary absolutely stinks. Some of the words in the book are not listed in the glossary.
Unfortunately, this book has become the standard at the university level and as a result, no matter how bad I think it is and how bad my professors think it is, I'm going to see this series for a long time...I'm starting part 2 out of 3 in a few weeks.
It's a decent book but previous comments about the grammar instruction are spot-on. While all the guys in my class find Maha 'hot,' both genders agree that she is annoying and pathetic. Khaled is a bit better. The DVDs are great learning tools and the best way to figure out how to accurately pronounce the vocabulary-- if they didn't try to sneak in extra vocabularly throughout the chapter. You do develop a rather strange set of vocabulary without much rhyme or reason to it. Watch the DVDs *before* class to get the most out of them.
Remember two things before you drop your Al Kitaab out the window to fall on the head of some poor unsuspecting German language student:
1) It's called 'the book' for a reason. Right now, this is the best we've got.
2) Arabic is a tough language and it's not at all intuitive to non-natives. In French, you can often guess half the words. Not so with Arabic. Thus, as the preface tells you, you need to be studying 2-3hrs for every hour of class you have. Few people actually put this time in; those that don't suffer the consequences. No textbook can teach you Arabic if you're not willing to do the work yourself.
My recommendation for learning Arabic would be to start with an intensive, find a great teacher, forget you have a real life, make friends with your classmates, and get a tutor. Learning Arabic isn't a summer project-- it's a multiyear commitment. Don't bother with it unless you're really passionate about learning it because the payoffs can be a long time coming. This book, however, can work. I've seen several students go through the sequence and come out with an impressive knowledge of the language. A lot depends on the instructor.

There was a time, back when I first began seriously aiming at a life as an author, that I thought I'd have to select a pseudonym. Well, I knew I'd have to – writing under my birth name would lead to far too much potential violence, and it is never good PR for a writer to thump readers over the head with their latest bestseller during signings. Any of you who have last names that inspire tired old jokes repeated as if they were a comedy revolution will know exactly what I mean.
But that wasn't the main reason why I planned to change my name. Nor was it the fact one of my characters had filched my first name and refused to give it back.
I'm a woman. This is why I felt I had to use a pseudonym.

Led by a school record-tying score in the first round, the Georgetown University women's golf team is tied for fourth place among 10 teams after the first day of play at the Birdies for Breast Cancer, being hosted by the University of California-Riverside at Oak Quarry Golf Club in California.
Host UC-Riverside fired a 6-over par 582 - rounds of 2-over par 290 and 4-over par 292, respectively - and took an eight-shot lead after the first day of play, which comprised two rounds. California Baptist was in second place at 14-over par 590, with CSU-Northridge in third at 17-over par 593.
Georgetown was tied for fourth place with Western Kentucky at 25-over par 601.

Our family has created many wonderful memories in our Gulf Front condo. We first fell in love with the views from this 2nd story condo and decided to completely renovate the unit. The 12 ft sliding glass door provides a spectacular view of the ocean that you can enjoy from sunrise to sunset. The rear of the unit faces the intercoastal waterway, which allows you to also have a peek at the intercoastal from your bedroom.
The luxurious top to bottom renovation of our spacious two bedroom, two bathroom unit was recently completed. The upgrades are endless, all countertops are granite, stainless steel appliances, NEW furniture and 18' porcelain tile throughout, and the bedrooms and living areas have been equip with ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, en suite bathroom with a walk in shower and 32' cable TV. The second bedroom has plush queen and full sized beds and a 32' cable TV. The second bathroom is equip with double sinks and a bathtub/shower combination. The spacious living room is setup for entertaining and has a 50' cable TV with DVD player. The oversized 17 ft balcony is perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing.
Holiday Villas III is a resort with a year round heated oceanfront swimming pool. The view from the pool is virtually unobstructed and steps to the white sandy beach. It is truly the best on the beach. If you chose our condo, we will also give you access to our beach chairs, beach toys, rafts, boogie boards or any other item in our patio closet. The resort includes: charcoal BBQ grills, tiki huts for family gatherings, beach volleyball, shuffleboard, off street reserved and guest parking, and last but certainly not least a PRIVATE FISHING PIER and a day dock for boats.
The Disney theme parks in Orlando or the Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa are a perfect day trip activity from Holiday Villas III. Our Grandson Donovan's personal favorite is the local star, Winter, at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. The Indian Shore community offers fishing, golf courses, and water sports. If you are a sports enthusiast, you can catch a football game at Raymond James Stadium, baseball game at Tropicana Field or a hockey game (a favorite of our Canadian son-in-law Bill) at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Finally, Indian Shores is conveniently located near three airports: Clearwater/St. Pete (PIE - 15 miles), Tampa (TPA - 25 miles) and Orlando (MCO - 110 miles) Airports.
My husband, Dick, and I live in Woodsfield, Ohio along with our two sons, Louie and Ryan. Our Daughter Abby and her family currently live in Columbus, OH. Go Bucks! We have two grandson's Donovan and Dalton who have become professional sand crab hunters. In the fall of 2013, we added our granddaughter Elin to our family of beach lovers. She made her first visit to Indian Shores and is an official beach bunny!
Karen Sulsberger purchased this condo in 2011
We have been vacationing along both of Florida's coasts for 20 years. The quiet and friendly atmosphere of Indian Shores is unmatched. We have really enjoyed all of the great restaurants. One of us could even fancy ourselves a food critic of the shore between Clearwater and St. Pete Beach.
The sparkling waters of the Gulf Coast are just as beautiful as the Caribbean beaches we have visited. The view from our condo is fantastic; being on the second floor gives you a closer connection to the beach. The pool at Holiday Villas III is truly unique because it has a great view directly to the ocean. This is a view you won't find at many other properties along the gulf coast.
My children and I just spent a week in this beautifully renovated condo. The pictures accurately reflect the condition of the condo, just as Karen assured us, which was excellent. The condo has been beautifully updated and they managed to keep that home away from home feel. We found it to be very comfortable, cozy, and clean. The beds were comfortable and it was well stocked. I loved the kitchen, and the walk in tiled shower in the MBR, actually loved everything about it. The only downside was the elevator which at times was slow but being on the second floor made it not so much an issue. Karen was so very easy to work with and responded promptly when a problem with the Internet connection occurred. Minor fix I might add, just unplugged it and restarted it. I would like to thank Karen for sharing her beautiful condo with us and thank her for making the entire rental process worry free and so very easy. Would not hesitate to rent unit 206 again and would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice vacation. Thanks again Karen. ⛱😎🌞👙
My family and I just returned from a fabulous, restful vacation in this condo! Everything was just as it was described in the listing. Karen and her husband were wonderful to work with and made sure that everything was just as they said it would be. We have stayed all up and down the coast of Gulf Blvd. for the last 6 years and my husband said that this was his most favorite condo by far! We loved the shade on the balcony as we could still sit out during the heat of the day. We will definitely be back!
This condo was just as advertised. beautifully decorated and fully renovated and very comfortable. kitchen was state of the art and fully stocked. great view from the balcony of the beach and the gulf. close to shopping, restaurants and other attractions. close to golf courses. would certainly return and would recommend this condo to anyone.
Beautiful updated condo in a perfect location. My husband loved the private fishing dock. The condo was beautifully decorated and the view from the balcony was post card perfect. We enjoyed every minute and look forward to returning. The beach is gorgeous and the pool refreshing. Also the location was great for restaurants and bus stops. We rode the bus on several occasions to other attractions and restaurants . Karen was extremely easy to contact and work with.
beautiful location and proximity to the beach with lots of available chairs and toys for the beach. Handy location to shopping and local attractions. The interior is very tastefully decorated and comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. The kitchen is state of the art, granite counter tops and beautiful new cabinets. Balcony provides exquisite views of the sunsets. Karen was a joy to work with.. Over all, you cant go wrong renting this unit. We will be returning.
This is our second time renting this condo and were even more satisfied with our stay this time. The location is great...right on the beach and close to restaurants. It's obvious the owners take very good care of the condo and keep it well stocked. All photos are accurate and represent exactly what the condo offers. Karen and her husband were extremely nice and easy to work with. This condo is a real winner!!!

Step 8 of How To Manifest A Million Dollar Husband In 10 Magical Steps
in Spirituality
Follow My Lead To Magically Manifest
A Million Dollar Husband - I Did It And You Can Too!
I used to be in the position of having notable accomplishments in my life - graduating cum laude from a state University, finished my Masters in Business Administration, released my CD audio series and book, Immigration Magic & Immigration Success Secrets: How to Overcome Immigrant Challenges...
and starting my own business, consulting and coaching others...
and yet...
I always attracted the wrong man to support my vision and spiritual path. I had two "complicated"
ex-boyfriends and an abusive ex-relationship.
I knew I had the ability for attracting the man of my dreams but lacked the "how". I didn't know HOW to manifest the man of my dreams, having someone I love, AND love me unconditionally for who and what I am.
Sound familiar??

We are more capable of being happy and healthy.

ISLAM & SLAVERY INTO THE 21st CENTURY
in Spirituality
It was not until 1962 that all slavery practice or trafficking in Saudi Arabia was prohibited, BUT NOT ABOLISHED!
According to the U.S. State Department:
Saudi Arabia is a destination for men and women from South and East Asia and East Africa trafficked for the purpose of labor exploitation, and for children from Yemen, Afghanistan, and Africa trafficking for forced begging. Hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Kenya migrate voluntarily to Saudi Arabia; some fall into conditions of involuntary servitude, suffering from physical and sexual abuse, non-payment or delayed payment of wages, the withholding of travel documents, restrictions on their freedom of movement and non-consensual contract alterations. The Government of Saudi Arabia does not comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.
By legitimizing slavery and - by extension - traffic in slaves, Islam elevated those practices to an unassailable moral plain. As a result, in no part of the Muslim world was an ideological challenge ever mounted against slavery.
This is a subject that HAS BEEN TABOO AND CONTROVERSIAL ...sooo HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS!
Call to voice Your Opinion On Any of the following statements OR JUST SAY WHAT YOU THINK:
SLAVERY emphasizes the Idea of OWNERSHIP and Control by a MASTER
SLAVERY IS A Relationship whereas One Person has absolute power over Another Person and controls His Life, Liberty and Fortune.
SLAVERY means being the Property of Another in any Language
The ability to convince a Human Being that they are better off as another Persons Property can only result in Self Hatred on one end and A Superiority Complex on the other hand...

Tuned In Tuesdays - with Wise Spirit
in Spirituality
There are times in our lives when we could use some extra guidance, clarity and direction. Unfortunately, life does not always provide us the answers that we need in black and white. At times it is in that "gray" area that we seek someone to help clarify the meaning of what our soul is trying to show us.
Wise Spirit provides you with the necessary tools to unlock the secrets that will enable you to create the life you deserve! If you are not living your life to its fullest potential, it's time to jump start your passion and change your life. Wise Spirit delivers the direction that you need to help you understand the bigger picture and set in motion practical solutions that will help you to bring out the "inner" you.
My shows are touching, hilarious, thought-provoking, energetic and did I mention...FUN! I talk about everything on my show and have a ball meeting new folks. Please join me, you won't be disappointed!

About Spirituality
If spirituality can be considered a movement, it's one of the fastest-growing in the world, and one of our most talked-about topics. Perhaps it's because it has the power to be a conduit for self-definition, born of an inner longing to cultivate a purposeful life and a deeper connection to the universe. Choose from hundreds of shows featuring interviews with world-renowned professors, holistic health professionals and authors, like famed New Ager Deepak Chopra, and spiritual teachers and psychics like Sylvia Browne. Chat with kindred spirits journeying along on how they pursue higher levels of consciousness, through light, energy, chakras, angels, reincarnation, prophecies, alternative medicine, pilgrimages and more. And unlike some religions, spirituality allows for interpretation: your third-eye awakening could manifest in the calm that comes from spending time with your dog, practicing yoga, preparing a sustainable meal. Yes, BlogTalkRadio provides plenty of shows to nourish your mind, body and spirit.

As families engage the next generation in their foundations, donor advised funds, and other forms of family enterprise, there is an increasing need for clarity, communication and multigenerational collaboration. While these endeavors are wonderful opportunities for families to work together, challenges can and often do arise when multiple generations and family members with relationship dynamics begin to make decisions together. 21/64 offers facilitation, speaking and tools to assist families during these times of generational transition.
Read more about our services, or visit the Audio/Visual resource section of our website to explore videos from featured events.
Whether new to philanthropy or experiencing a transition into a new stage of life or leadership, we understand that individuals often need assistance and can benefit from life-long coaching and education including peer networks. 21/64 provides individuals with a strategic framework, innovative tools, resources and relationships to explore their personal identity, their role in their family enterprises, their assets, and their philanthropy.

What Am I Inheriting? allows family members to learn their family stories from previous generations, as well as pass those stories on to the next generations. Discover and share the family inheritance, beyond the financial, and in terms of the traditions and values that inform your life today.
There's a NEW addition to the 21/64 Toolbox: roleplay!
Created by 21/64 in partnership with Youth Philanthropy Connect & The Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation, roleplay is an interactive tool that leverages the powerful act of play to help youth, next gen funders, families, giving circles, foundation and junior boards, or any groups making decisions together gain awareness of how they act in different roles—both personally and as a funders—to make mindful choices about the roles they want to play.
