Notes and TriviaEdit
- During early season six, Ellen Pompeo was pregnant and showing, so most shots of her are above the chest or her belly is covered with something.
- She was given four weeks off and the writers allowed her to return for only short times in the following weeks.
- It is the first season to not feature T.R. Knight as George O'Malley and Goodbye marks the first episode to not feature him.
- This is the last season to feature Katherine Heigl as Izzie Stevens, also marking several episodes without Izzie. She remained credited for those episodes until she was released from her contract and thereby got removed from the credits.
- Izzie being fired in Invasion and her absence in the consequent three episodes was to give Katherine room on her schedule to film the comedy movie Life As We Know It. She briefly returned for one episode, only to be absent again for two episodes.
- She returned for I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked, which was supposed to be her final episode before her maternity leave. However, while she was scheduled to return for the last five episodes of the season, Katherine didn't return to the set as she was released from her contract per her request.
- This season has the highest number of episodes that are not narrated solely by Meredith, with 6. This record is shared with season ten. In this season, it may also be a result of Ellen Pompeo's pregnancy.
- The voice over of Goodbye is narrated by all main characters at the time.
- The Give Peace a Chance, State of Love and Trust, and Death and All His Friends voice overs are all narrated by Derek Shepherd.
- Richard Webber narrates the voice over of The Time Warp.
- Owen Hunt narrates the Suicide is Painless voice over.
- Jessica Capshaw was promoted to series regular after previously recurring.

I began following specific House Bills (HB) & Senate Files (SF) shortly after I began observing our legislature. I decided that was the best way to get to know the thinking of the legislature and its members. As I did this I began to sense that my background gave me the opportunity to speak up and maybe even add to committee deliberations. For example I have run large organizations, taught both as an instructor for two years and as a flight instructor, and worked large budget processes.
Along the way I have also attended selected interim committee hearings around the state. The result is that I have seen some "inner workings and hidden mechanisms" of the legislature.
I feel like the man in the Norman Rockwell painting above who stood up in a town meeting and spoke. You wonder if you have an impact. The good news for Wyoming is the process of our legislature is one that does allow one to have an impact, if one speaks carefully, from experience & the heart, and keeps it short & sweet.
One conclusion I have drawn throughout my time observing our legislature is that those that get legislation done speak to that. While those that get little done explain it away with words like "I'm fighting for you." As if hot air influences the process.
Here are the bills I spoke up on in our recent 63rd Budget Session.
SF 14 Student Data Privacy - Fail
Spoke up from my background as a Search Warrant approval authority as a Commanding Officer. Spoke neither for nor against. Spoke to the Senate Education Committee to ensure the committee understood the key issues of a search warrant; because there were many, many people intending to speak to the House Education Committee, I chose not to speak so that I would not slow things down. The presentation of this bill and all of those wanting to speak up took all of the time available to the committee. I then sent a detailed email to House Education Committee Chairman Northrup.
HB 73 Suspension or Dismissal of Teachers for Felony Prosecution – Fail
Spoke regarding the Professional Teaching Standards Board process.
SF 4 Military Service-member Protections - Pass
Spoke up neither for nor against but rather on a related issue: that of protections for spouses. Later asked by the Chairmen to submit a proposed interim topic and it was approved. I am now working to develop this into actual legislation with the WyNG Adjutant General's Office.
SF 11 Youth Challenge Program (e.g. for full funding) - Pass
Spoke in favor in the Joint Appropriations Committee. Chairman Harshman & one other member nodded in agreement as I finished speaking. This is mentioned in a separate Pull Down Tab.
SF 45 Rural Health Care Districts Funding Authority - Pass
Spoke up as VP of Sublette Rural Health Foundation supporting this bill.
HBs 55 & 56 Nurse Compacts - Both Pass
Spoke up in favor briefly noting the military system that requires a license in one state but then medical personnel practice worldwide; this was a 'no brainer.'
SF 24 Supplemental At-Risk Funding for Early Childhood Education - Fail
Spoke up and both committees voted unanimously for 'Do Pass' yet it failed at the goal line in the House on another issue, this failure surprised me yet the unanimous 'Do Pass' from both committees indicated a degree of success. Rep Kinner later talked with me and thanked me for speaking up because it allowed him to frame things well.
HB 66 Retired Firefighter License Plates - Pass
Spoke in favor given my experience as a veteran who fills out similar paperwork.
HB 40 Watercraft operation under influence of alcohol - Fail
Spoke up in favor from my background as a Flight Instructor.
HB 86 Repeal of Gun Free Zones Act - Fail

It is against the law to ask a girl in a bikini for a date.
The law states that "no female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway unless she is escorted by at least two officers of the law or unless she be armed with a club". An amendment to the law says that "the provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor to females exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."
Lexington - It is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket.
Owensboro - it is against the law for a woman to buy a new hat without her husband first trying it on.

Καλή Λευτεριά!
«Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν· ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ· καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν, ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ σατανᾶ.»
(Αποκάλυψις Ιωάννου 2:9)
«Ιδοὺ δίδωμι ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ σατανᾶ τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν, ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται· ἰδοὺ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ἥξουσι καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἠγάπησά σε.»
(Αποκάλυψις Ιωάννου 3:9)
«The kingdom of the Khazars vanished from the map of the world many centuries ago.
Today many people have never even heard of it yet in its day the Khazar kingdom [Khazaria] was a very major power, indeed holding sway over a large empire of subjugated peoples. It had to be reckoned with by the two neighbouring superpowers of that day. To the south and west of Khazaria the Byzantine Empire was in full flower with its Eastern Orthodox Christian civilisation. To the south-east, the Khazar kingdom bordered on the expanding Moslem Empire of the Arab Caliphs. The Khazar's influenced the histories of both of these empires but, far more importantly, the Khazar kingdom occupied what was later to become a southern portion of Russia between the Black and Caspian Seas. As a result, the historical destinies of the Russians and the Khazars became intertwined in ways which have persisted down to the present day.
In case you have never heard of the Khazars, I think I should mention where you can look to learn more about them. In 1976 a book about the Khazars was published by the British writer [a Jew] Arthur Koestler. The book is titled, The thirteenth tribe – The Khazar Empire And Its Heritage. The American publisher is Random House, New York.
History records that the Khazars were derived from a mixture of Mongols, Turks and Fins. As early as the 3rd Century AD, they were identifiable in constant warfare in the areas of Persia and Armenia. Later, in the 5th Century, the Khazars were among the devastating hordes of Attila, the Hun. Around 550 AD, the nomadic Khazars began settling themselves in the area around the northem Caucasus between the Black and Caspian Seas. The Khazar's capital of Itil was established at the mouth of the Volga River where it emptied into the Caspian Sea, in order to control the river traffic. The Khazars then exacted a toll of 10% on any and all cargo which passed Itil on the river. Those who refused were attacked and slaughtered.
With the kingdom finally established in the Caucasus, the Khazars gradually began to create an empire of subjugated peoples. More and more Slavonic tribes, who were peaceful compared with the Khazars, were attacked and conquered. They became part of the Khazar Empire, required to pay tribute continually to the Khazar Kingdom. Tribute by conquered peoples has always been a feature of empires, of course, but not in the fashion of the Khazars. The so-called great empires of the world always gave something in return for the taxes they extracted. Rome, for example, made citizens of those they conquered; and in return for the taxes they levied, they brought civilisation, order and protection against attack from would-be invaders. But not so in the Khazar Empire. The people who were subject to the Khazars received only one thing in return for their payments of tribute, and that was a shaky promise – the Khazars would refrain from further attacks and pillage so long as the tributes were paid. Therefore, the subjects of the Khazar Empire were nothing more than the victims of the giant protection racket.
The Khazar overlords were therefore resented universally and bitterly throughout their domain, but they were also feared because of the merciless way in which they dealt with anyone who stood up to them. And so the Khazar Empire expanded northward to Kiev [Kiev now the capital of UKRAINE, on the Dnieper River. It is Ukraine's largest city and a major port. One of the oldest European cities, it was a commercial centre as early as the 5th century, and became the capital of KIEVAN RUSSIA in the 9th century and westward to include Magyars, the ancestors of modern Hungary.]
In about 740AD, a stunning event took place. The Khazars had been under continual pressure from their Byzantine and Moslem neighbours to adopt Christianity or Islam, but the Khazar ruler, called the Khakan, had heard of a third religion called JUDAISM. Apparently for political reasons of independence, the Khakan announced that the Khazars were adopting Judaism as their religion. Overnight an entirely new group of people, the warlike Khazars, suddenly proclaimed themselves Jews – adoptive Jews. The Khazar kingdom began to be described as the 'Kingdom of the Jews' by historians of the day. Succeeding Khazar rulers took Jewish names, and during the late 9th Century the Khazar kingdom became a haven for Jews of other lands.
Meanwhile the brutal Khazar domination over other peoples continued unchanged. But then a new factor appeared on the scene. During the 8th Century there came coursing down the great rivers – the Dnieper, the Don and the Volga – the eastern branch of the Vikings. They were known as the VARANCIANS, or the RUS. Like other Vikings, the Rus were bold adventurers and fierce fighters, but when they tangled with the Khazars, the Rus often ended up paying tribute like everyone else.
In 862 a Rus leader named Rurik founded the city of Novgorod, and the RUSSIAN NATION was born. The Rus Vikings settled among the Slavonic tribes under Khazar domination, and the struggle between Vikings and Khazars changed in character. It became a struggle by the emerging nation of Russia for independence from Khazar oppression.
Over a century after the founding of Russia's first city, another momentous event took place. Russia's leader, Prince Vladimir of Kiev, accepted baptism as a Christian in the year 989. He actively promoted Christianity in Russia, and his memory is revered by Russians today as 'Saint Vladimir;' and so a thousand years ago Russia's tradition as a Christian nation began. Vladimir's conversion also brought Russia into alliance with Byzantium. The Byzantine rulers had always feared the Khazars, and the Russians were still struggling to free themselves. And so in the year 1016, combined Russian and Byzantine forces attacked the Khazar kingdom. The Khazar
kingdom was shattered, and the kingdom of the Khazars fell into decline. Eventually most of the Khazar Jews migrated to other areas. Many of them wound up in eastern Europe, where they mingled and intermarried with other Jews. Like the Semitic Jews some 1000 years earlier, the Khazar Jews became dispersed. The kingdom of the Khazars was no more.
As the Khazars moved and lived amongst the Jewish people, the Khazar Jews passed on a distinct heritage from generation to generation. One element of the Khazar Jew heritage is a militant form of ZIONISM. In the view of Khazar Jews, the land occupied by ancient Israel is to be retaken – not by a miracle but by armed force. This is what is meant by Zionism today, and this is the force that created the nation which calls itself Israel today. The other major ingredient of the Khazar Jew heritage is hatred for Christianity, and for the Russian people as the champions of the Christian faith. Christianity is viewed as the force that caused the ancient so-called Kingdom of the Jews; the Khazar kingdom [Khazarial] to collapse. Having dominated much of what is present-day Russia, the Khazar Jews still want to re-establish that domination – and for a millennium they have been trying continually to do just that.
In 1917 the Khazar Jews passed a major milestone towards the creation of their own state in Palestine. The same year they also created the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. There followed a Christian holocaust, the likes of which the world has never seen. The Khazar Jews were once again in control of Russia after more than 900 years, and they set about the task of destroying the Russian Christians – over 100-million of them, at the same time over 20-million religious Jews also died at the hands of the Khazar Jews. This is what the Russian Christians were up against in their 60-year struggle to overthrow the atheistic Bolsheviks, but they finally succeeded in their overthrow program, and now the 1000-year-old war between the Russian Christians and the Khazar Jews is reaching a climax.
On August 19, 1979, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum died in New York. He died in the morning, and was buried the same afternoon. Very short notice, and yet 100,000 Jewish men arrived in time for the funeral. It is hard to imagine how many more hundreds of thousands could not arrive on such short notice. A month later, September 18, his followers placed a memorial tribute by way of a paid advertisement in the "New York Times," and clearly it spoke for many Jews. Among other things it said, quote: "He was the undisputed leader of all Jews everywhere who had not been infected by Zionism;" and also, quote : "With a courage all too rare in our time, he called the Zionist state 'a work of Satan, a sacrilege, and a blasphemy. The shedding of blood for the sake of the Zionist state was abhorrent to him."These words were spoken by Orthodox Jews mourning for their fallen leader. And the new Christian rulers of Russia would agree, for they too regard the Zionist state of Israel as a counterfeit, a cruel and dangerous hoax for Christians and Jews alike.
The Khazar state called the "Kingdom of the Jews" [Khazaria] a thousand years ago was a parasite, living on the tribute from conquered peoples. Likewise today, Israel depends for its survival on a never-ending flow of support from outside. Left unchecked, the Russians believe that the Khazar Jews will destroy Christianity by means of Zionism; so Russia's Christian rulers are on the offensive against their enemies of a thousand years – the Khazars.
We Americans who call ourselves Christians have not cared enough to open our eyes to try to save our own country, or to defend our faith. So our land has become the battle-ground of the Christian Russians and their deadly enemies – the Bolsheviks and the Zionists. And like it or not we are caught up in this all-out war.»

2:9 Ξέρω καλά τα έργα σου και πως σε κατατρέχουν και πως είσαι φτωχός — κι όμως είσαι πλούσιος. Ξέρω πως σε διαβάλλουν άνθρωποι που ισχυρίζονται ότι ανήκουν τάχα στο λαό του Θεού· αυτοί όμως δεν είναι δικοί του, γιατί ανήκουν στη σύναξη του σατανά.
3:9 Υπάρχουν μερικοί που ισχυρίζονται πως ανήκουν στο λαό του Θεού· αλλά δεν ανήκουν, λένε ψέματα· στην πραγματικότητα ανήκουν στη σύναξη του σατανά. Αυτούς θα τους κάνω να 'ρθούν και να γονατίσουν ταπεινωμένοι μπροστά σου, για να μάθουν πως εγώ εσένα αγάπησα,
12:7 Έγινε τότε πόλεμος στον ουρανό· από τη μια ο Μιχαήλ με τους αγγέλους του κι από την άλλη ο δράκοντας. Ο δράκοντας με τους αγγέλους του πολέμησε 8 αλλά δεν επικράτησε, κι έτσι δεν του επιτράπηκε να μείνει άλλο στον ουρανό. 9 Έτσι ρίχτηκε ο δράκος ο μεγάλος, ο όφις ο αρχαίος, που λέγεται διάβολος και σατανάς και παραπλανάει ολόκληρη την οικουμένη, ρίχτηκε κάτω στα γη, και μαζί του έριξαν και τους αγγέλους του.

Last week, we asked you to vote for your favorite Oakland Athletic of all time. There were lots of notable choices but your favorite won in a landslide — over 1,000 of the 2,565 votes were for the eventual winner.
We also included five honorable mentions that you brought up in the comments. But whether your favorite made the top 10 or not, all A's fans can agree on one thing: There are few franchises in Major League Baseball that can boast the number of bona fide legends that the A's can.

Key to the Table Above
The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a unique and widely used international resource of the results of 6540 chronic, long-term animal cancer tests on 1547 chemicals. The CPDB provides easy access to the bioassay literature, with qualitative and quantitative analyses of both positive and negative experiments that have been published over the past 50 years in the general literature through 2001 and by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program through 2004. The CPDB standardizes the diverse literature of cancer bioassays that vary widely in protocol, histopathological examination and nomenclature, and in the published author's choices of what information to provide in their papers. Results are reported in the CPDB for tests in rats, mice, hamsters, dogs, and nonhuman primates.
For each experiment, information is included on species, strain, and sex of test animal; features of experimental protocol such as route of administration, duration of dosing, dose level(s) in mg/kg body weight/day, and duration of experiment; experimental results are provided on target organ, tumor type, and tumor incidence; carcinogenic potency (TD50) and its statistical significance; shape of the dose-response, author's opinion as to carcinogenicity, and literature citation.
Only tests with dosing for at least ¼ the standard lifespan of the species and experiment length at least ½ the lifespan are included in the CPDB. Only routes of administration with whole body exposure are included. Doses are standardized, average dose rates in mg/kg/day. A description of methods used in the CPDB to standardize the diverse literature of animal cancer tests is presented for: 1) Criteria for inclusion of experiments 2) Standardization of average daily dose levels and 3) TD50 estimation for a standard lifespan.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (Reuters) - Massachusetts State Police troopers found two bullets and a .22-caliber handgun near the body of a man prosecutors say former National Football League star Aaron Hernandez killed in June 2013, the officers testified on Friday.
Sergeant Kevin Halle said he excavated soil in an industrial park where the body of Odin Lloyd, a semiprofessional football player, was found on June 17, 2013, and discovered two projectiles near a patch of dirt marked by a red-brown stain.
"I was screening the material to be taken out and, looking at the screen, there was a projectile," he told jurors in the Massachusetts Superior Court trial in Fall River. Prosecutors showed photos of the bullets in court.
Investigators earlier testified that they found empty .45-caliber shell casings around Lloyd's body at the industrial park in North Attleborough, Massachusetts.
Another state trooper, Steven Gallagher, said he and fellow officers found a .22-caliber black-and-silver pistol while searching a wet, wooded area near a road a short distance from where Lloyd's body was discovered by a teenage jogger.
Hernandez, who lived nearby, has been charged with murdering Lloyd, 27, who was dating his fiancée's sister, Shaneah Jenkins, at the time. Jenkins has testified that the two were in the early stages of a friendship and sometimes smoked marijuana together.
Hernandez, 25, had a $41 million contract with the New England Patriots when he was dropped from the team after his arrest on murder and firearms charges.
If convicted, Hernandez could draw a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors contend that Hernandez and two friends, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, picked up Lloyd at his Boston home on June 17, 2013, and drove him to the industrial park where his body was found later that day. The gun used in the killing has not been found.
Wallace and Ortiz have also been charged in Lloyd's death and will be tried separately. All three have pleaded not guilty.
Earlier on Friday, Associate Justice Susan Garsh ruled that jurors will be allowed to watch surveillance video of Hernandez sitting in a car with one of his lawyers at a North Attleborough police station a day after Lloyd's death.
According to prosecutor William McCauley, the video shows Hernandez dismantling his phone and using his attorney's phone to make calls to Wallace.
Hernandez will face a second trial later this year on charges he killed two Cape Verdean men outside a Boston nightclub in 2012.

Min Daeby Craig Jarvis / 11.11.2009
Being conscripted into the apartheid era SADF was a kak deal. The legacy of National Service is one of pain, hardship, suffering under the hands of tyrannical sergeants, lieutenants, bombardiers and RSM's, border skirmishes, contacts, suicides and horrific stories of torture and inhuman behaviour, conducted on behalf of a corrupt government. Many young white boys came out of the army scarred for life, twisted and mentally disfigured form what they had seen and experienced.
Although Private Green ended up doing his service in and around the red sands of Lohatlha, in the Kalahari Desert at the Army Battle School, he managed to keep his sense of humour firmly intact, and his book is pretty damn funny.
Private Green, being the product of a liberal middle-class family and a graduate of one of the country's first multi-racial schools, is not sold on the philosophies of the apartheid system and the need to fight for the cause. In fact all Private Green wants to do is surf, and so is determined to be stationed at Natal Command, a stone's throw away from his beloved waves.
Through gross ill advice, Privaat Groen and some of his Durban cohorts find themselves heading for the red sands of Lohatlha, Kalahari Desert for a long stint in the Army Battle School. Still determined to do as little as possible for the military machine, they embark on a hilarious 2-year journey of failures, hi-jinks and dodging responsibility at every turn, while continually getting caught, getting kakked and yet living to see another day.
His descriptions of every day life in the army his fellow soldiers as well as the Permanent Force fools he had to deal with on a daily basis will have you laughing out loud. From crazy guard duty scares, to going unofficially AWOL for a few weeks, supposedly searching for missing army vehicles but instead surfing in Durban for the whole time, to the absurdity of his Citizen Force duty, Green sees the whole two-year episode for what it really was, a time to lay low and learn how to dodge responsibilities of any sort.
Now a 47-year-old Durban-based entrepreneur, Gary Green has an easy and unaffected writing style, delivering a mellow page-turner. And for anyone who actually had to do their national service there will be some wry, knowing smiles as well as a few outbursts of laughter.
Clearly Gary looks at life through comical "Green" goggles. Every situation demands a humourous response. Can this man ever be serious? Absolutely not! –

I think conscription should be brought back for everyone leaving school, but not miltary conscription general public service: teachers aids, nursing, policing etc.
The government needs all the help it can get and it teachers people to respect their country!

There's a great need in this country for a national civil service. Compulsory non-military training, just skills training so that our youth can build roads, sewage facilities, build houses, plant vegetable gardens, infrastructural development, uproot alien trees, etc etc. And what could be better nationbuilding than thrusting all the youth of our nation, no matter where they come from, together for a year to build and develop South Africa… this would solve many of our problems quickly. But it would have to be very, very well organised and this government has not shown any capability to do so. Alas…

well, what's the ANC Youth League doing, aside from enriching itself and pandering to that fat little grub they worship?

You silly people, we're already doing community service! Well, at least those of us with jobs who pay taxes. The harder we work, the more we contribute to the fiscus, the more that our government can afford to provide for everyone (well, in theory at least, this is the South African government after all).
South Africa has already tried community service in one profession by forcing graduate doctors to work for the state immediately after they qualified. That was an unmitigated disaster because many of those graduates emigrated immediately and deprived the country of essential skills which we are still struggling to replenish.
Anyone have any other smart ideas?

Obama departs for NATO summit
U.S. President Barack Obama leaves Washington for a NATO summit where the long-standing alliance is facing growing criticism that Europe is not pulling its weight. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: U.S. President Barack Obama will seek to show a united front with his European partners at the NATO summit in Warsaw, but the long-standing alliance is facing growing criticism that Europe is not pulling its weight in the coalition. While U.S. officials have complained for years that other NATO members need to spend more on defense, attention to the issue has intensified after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused NATO allies of "not paying their fair share" and called the alliance "obsolete." Of the 28 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, only five countries are meeting its target of military spending equal to at least 2 percent of gross domestic product, according to NATO figures. Those countries are the United States, Greece, Poland, Estonia, and the United Kingdom. In the wake of Britain's vote to exit the European Union, the White House has stressed its relationship with Britain and the alliance remain unchanged. But Britain's decision, and the accompanying economic uncertainty, could widen the gap in defense budgets in the alliance.

A lot of articles and blog posts have been written about the benefits of attending a conference. Studies and surveys that have been conducted by organizations like the British Council focus on the impact of conferences on attendees. Positive contribution to professional development, enrichment of knowledge in new ELT techniques, networking and exchanging ideas with other ELT professionals and a feeling of confidence and achievement are among the most significant benefits that ELT professionals gain by attending conferences around the world.
Now the question is: What are the criteria for which conference we choose to attend? Is it the destination? Are the reviews of the fellow colleagues who have been there before? Is it a recommendation from a good friend? A good promotion on social media? A combination maybe? Whatever the reason one thing is for sure. The experience is unique. And sooner or later we must jump in the chance of living it.
For me, attending the 25th Annual IATEFL Hungary Conference was an unforgettable experience. My personal reason for choosing to participate in this major event was above all the fact that the Association was celebrating its silver anniversary this year. And as it usually happens with celebrations the atmosphere of festivity is in the air. On the one hand it is an opportunity of a retrospect. The title and theme "Looking forward, looking back" suggests this idea of reflection before proceeding. But, on the other hand, it is a fantastic chance for something special to be organized. So, I knew from the very beginning that this conference would host exceptional plenary speakers, would hide surprises and be fun-filled of course.
I was very lucky to see prominent ELT personalities on stage as Alan Maley, Marjorie Rosenberg, Russel Stannard and Ádám Nádasdy who generously shared their considerable experiences on various ELT fields and filled us with motivation and knowledge of how learning from reflection can help us understand our development as teachers and professionals.
As I have already mentioned above there is no celebration without festivity atmosphere and surprises. The committee members not only proved that they can organize a fabulous event but also they got the chance to explore their talents in singing and acting and they prepared a surprise performance for us! The play was actually a series of hilarious sketches around the theme of different teaching methods and teacher personalities which were written and acted out by the members. And for the finale all the attendees we were asked to sing along the song which was composed especially for the event. Its title: "Looking forward, looking back"! The party went on with lots of singing and dancing (and drinking of course) at the Eötvös Loránd University's club.
Another highlight prepared for this special anniversary was the Nostalgia room. Twenty five years of IATEFL Hungary were displayed in an exhibition tenderly organized and put up by Zsuzsa Lindner, ex-President of IATEFL Hungary. Photographs and programmes created an imaginary trip to the past. The best part was the props corner, where the attendees had the chance to try on and take a souvenir picture wearing one of the funny glittering gigantic glasses or a carnival hat. I did not miss the chance of course.
For me the 25th Annual IATEFL Hungary Conference will remain unforgettable for another very important reason. I was given the opportunity to participate in this major event as a speaker which was a huge honour and a great pleasure at the same time.
I offered two talks. The first was related to the educational value of performing arts in ESL class through the prism of Street theatre. Getting inspired by the theme of the conference "Looking forward, looking back", I looked back at the roots of the first street theatre groups and I briefly examined the sociopolitical and philosophical reasons of their formation. Furthermore, I explained how street theatre's theory is connected to pedagogy and why performing arts are considered to be a powerful vehicle as far as the educational perspective and the learning process are concerned. Finally, I gave examples of using performing arts in class by presenting a project I did with my students few years ago.
The second talk was about a game we designed with my dear colleague Marianthi Tsepeli and played with young learners during the summer campaign which was organized by the Central Public Library of our hometown, Serres, in 2014. The idea of the game was originally presented at the TESOL Macedonia Thrace Annual International Convention in 2015. Slightly changed this time Marianthi and I put some light on the theory behind the designing of the game and the reasons why we decided to create a storyline. Entitled "Superheroes on a mission: Let's join forces to save the wor(l)d!", the game invites learners to work in teams and co-operate in order to solve riddles, do quizzes, search for clues and create digital comics.
All in all the 25th Annual IATEFL Hungary Conference was a unique experience. The welcoming, friendly as well as celebrating atmosphere would always be memorable. I hope to have the chance to go back there again someday.

The Gulf College participants take to the stage at the iconic Wales Millennium Centre.
Cardiff School of Management ran a five day course in lean leadership, using the Welsh National Opera (WNO) to demonstrate lean principles in action, for a group of guests from the University's collaborative partner, Gulf College, Oman.
The course, arranged by Siân Rees, CSM Associate Dean (Enterprise), innovatively moved away from lean in a manufacturing environment, taking course participants to the home of Welsh National Opera in the Wales Millennium Centre, to hear the challenges and issues associated with managing the 3rd largest opera company in the UK and the only one with a commitment to touring and supporting the arts in the regions.
To complement classroom content and discussions, it was seen as important that participants heard from lean leaders working in industry about their project management practices. The course also included contributions from Cardiff Met's Professor of Computer Science and Public Policy Tom Crick and the University's Professor of Marketing Mark Goode, who spoke about information sources and innovations in management practices.
Dr Julia Fallon, Principal Lecturer in Marketing and Strategy at Cardiff School of Management who set up the visit with Welsh National Opera said: "This course offered a fantastic opportunity for our guests from Gulf College Oman to learn about applied Lean Leadership in a very interesting setting, whilst at the same time, giving us the opportunity to showcase our wonderful capital city.
"Both Peter Harrap and Jan Michaelis at WNO made time to share their experience in managing the complexity of planning, producing and touring a major opera in the face of ever more constrained funding, as well as sharing valuable insights into how they had adapted lean production techniques and lean leadership approaches to meet these challenges.
"The group visited the WNO building in Cardiff City centre to see lean processes and leadership in action in a creative context. They were also treated to a backstage tour of the stunning Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay – home of the WNO – where they heard about the meticulous planning and multifaceted choreography of delivering a fully staged opera for a live performance."
Cardiff Met expects to be repeating this programme in the future for those interested in lean leadership as a feature of Cardiff School of Management's portfolio of Lean, Leadership and Project Management short courses.

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Should Be Reading.
The idea is to:
Grab the book you are currently reading.
Open it up to a random page.
Share two teaser sentences.
Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning.
"The black-shrouded specter stood, dark folds rustling, one ghostly hand on the rusted gate, watching me. Its darkness was as enormous as the night."
Page 76.
I used to be your average, everyday girl but all that changed one night in Dublin when I saw my first Fae, and got dragged into a world of deadly immortals and ancient secrets. . . .
In her fight to stay alive, MacKayla must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over the worlds of both the Fae and Man. Pursued by assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she can't trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and powerful men: V'lane, the immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as irresistible as he is dangerous.
For centuries the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them.
Totally just realised that I hadn't posted a teaser today - very bad of me. So I have just started the second book in the Fever series. The first book wasn't what I was expecting but I did enjoy it lets see how the second book goes.
That's all for now.

The other day as I looked at the charging dock full of iPods and tablets on the shelf I thought back to when I was a kid and the Atari 2600 was the only technical device we had. We didn't have DVD players in the car or even close to 20 different kid channels to surf on the TV.
So I thought of the simple things my brother and I would do to entertain ourselves when we couldn't play Atari because my parents were on the only TV in the house. The one thing we could laugh with for some time was Silly Putty. I can remember the squeaky sound it would make as I would twist it, or the way it would bounce off the walls and floor when rolled into a ball. I think the most fun though was just the putty and a black & white print newspaper. When the putty was flattened out you could press it onto the paper and the ink would then pull up from the newspaper revealing a mirrored image on the putty.
Silly putty is still available in original and the glow in the dark so why not spend the $3 and see if your kids will enjoy it the way we did, my guess , probably not.

There is nothing more satisfying than reading a book while sipping a hot cup of tea.

Review: Journey Under the Midnight Sun
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
SPOILER ALERT. Read it only if you have read the book.
"Some people walk forever in the sunlight, and some people have to walk through the darkest night their whole lives.... I've never lived in the sunlight....No, there never was a sun in the sky over me. It's always night...."
Excuse me, while I puke because these sob lines are spoken by one of the most sadistic, manipulative, cold-blooded b%*#s I have come across in books. The woman who uses men and then throws them over and who gets her female competitors raped really wants us to believe that she has had a hard life. This one doesn't spare even her friend. Why? Coz the friend one day turned smart and beautiful and started garning male attention. And, of course, our self-pitying female couldn't bear it, and so got her sexually molested by her pet-dog Ryo, who would go to any extent to satisfy her- murder, rape, betrayal. She even gets him to rape her underage step-daughter and if that wasn't enough, forces herself also upon the young girl.
And what is her rationale? Because she was sexually abused as a young child so, of course, everything is justified. Even killing her foster mother because the old lady was lingering on.
And Ryo? The boy who killed his father when he saw him sexually assaulting a young girl, in the end rapes a young girl himself.
Giving it two stars only because of my loyalty towards Higashino and because Kazunari was able to manfully resist Yukiho (Three cheers for him).
First Line: Sasagaki left the station and headed west along the tracks.

Oh, what a shame this one was such a disappointment, Neeru. I like Higashino very much, too, and was wondering about this one. Hm.....Now I think I'll wait and see what comes next.ReplyDelete

Having been the proud owner of the later Orc War Wyvern I never really tried that hard to procure F'yar - the War Wyvern is one of my favourite O&G minis (also one of the first I ever bought) and I was never that excited about the earlier Ackland sculpt of F'yar from what I had seen.
Mr Ackland, I take it all back! Having seen the mini up close I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love it! F'yar himself oozes character and the Wyvern was a fair bit bigger than I expected.
Although still a little diminutive compared to the later War Wyvern, I am now an Ackland convert and can't wait to get some paint slapped on.

Skype in the Classroom
Skype in the Classroom
Skype in the classroom is a free, global community to help teachers use Skype to help their students learn. It's a place for teachers to connect, find partner classes and share inspiration, and was created in response to the growing number of teachers using Skype in their classrooms.
Conor Delahunty, Interaction Designer; Duncan Gough, Developer; Justin McMurray, Strategist and Project Lead; Isaac Pinnock, Creative Director; Anjali Ramachandran, Community Strategy; Cath Richardson, Producer and Customer Development; Paul Sims, Service Designer; Andy Walker, UI Developer. All from Made by Many. Petr Zaparka, Developer, Unboxed Consulting.
Education is a very complex and challenging service design environment. And, although this submission feels a little like a user experience brief to a service design problem, 'Skype in the Classroom' has delivered some impressive results in a very short time frame. The service has a lot of potential and a long way to go. We love the BETA approach and would encourage Skype in the Classroom to be constantly eliciting feedback, as well as spending more time in the classroom gaining valuable insights that will drive the design of the service as well as the site.
Skype in the Classroom
1. Summarize the problem you set out to solve. What was the challenge posed to you? Did it get you excited and why?
Our client Skype set out with several goals. They wanted to increase interaction between educators, to extend their network, and to help position the brand credibly within the education space. They were also keen to demonstrate that they are universal and useful, and to help motivate and inspire those not yet using Skype in the classroom. It is very important to Skype that their relevance to this influential audience is brought out through a genuinely useful tool, and we were excited by the potential to create something that will be useful not simply at the point of launch, but that will become increasingly effective as time goes on.
The idea of applying our experience of community-building to a major client with massive network potential really appealed to us. Finally, teachers are tremendous innovators, and we were looking forward to the enjoyable, interesting and satisfying process of research that would bring us into contact with many inspirational educators.
2. What point of view did you bring to the challenge? Was there anything additional that you wanted to achieve with this project or bring to this project that was not part of the original brief?
We approached with an attitude that teachers are radical thinkers, and the belief that if we could avoid being too prescriptive and simply supply an interesting toolkit, educators would naturally find wonderful and ingenious uses for this technology. Skype requested a means of capturing teachers' stories, but we wanted to create something of even greater scope that would benefit educators directly.
We were interested in identifying what teachers wanted and needed from the service, and aimed to help them to make these discoveries themselves. For example, what began as a simple directory of teachers developed into a service based around profiles and projects, with easily navigable interactive maps. Only when our particular process of simple prototyping and repeat iterations was complete did we ask teachers to bring their stories back into the project. While changes were made as a result of our testing, we were keen to maintain a light touch throughout, allowing the teachers' ideas to take centre stage. So, as well as looking at the client's expectations, we set out to listen to Skype's audience from the start – after all, if the teachers tell us what they want quickly, then we can deliver it quickly – and if they get what they want, they will continue to use the service.
3. When designing this project, whose interests did you consider? (Discuss various stakeholders, audiences, retailing, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, etc., for example.)
The interests of the worldwide community of teachers dictated this project, making them both the audience and the authors of the site. We set out with a basic directory of educators, and the belief that they might want to share lesson plans and other resources, but during the course of our research it became clear that the users wanted – and needed – more than this. They wanted to share their expertise as well as their resources, and were keen to partner with other classes through a fast, intuitive network that put them in touch with their contemporaries around the world.
4. Describe the rigor that informed your design. (Research, ethnography, subject matter experts, materials exploration, technology, iteration, testing, etc., as applicable.) If this was a strictly research or strategy project, please provide more detail here.
We believe the best way to serve a client's financial interests is to look at the requirements of its audience. In Skype's case, this has meant allowing our design decisions to be guided by educators' needs and usage patterns. Following the teachers' lead has allowed us to quickly assemble a very simple product which evolves iteratively in direct response to user feedback.
As an agency, we take a lean approach to building fast and simple products, researching the audience, and returning work to the client regularly. The goal is to work quickly with as little wasted effort as possible, respond to changes as they happen and release a functional product at the earliest point. With Skype Education, this meant a quick and dirty BETA followed by more research prior to the current version. Almost 12,000 teachers have joined worldwide since launch.
Our research process involved two rounds of interviews and surveys with 55 educators teaching over 20 subjects in seven countries. Our findings suggested a need for a sharing network and that most teachers wanted to find other teachers (28%), or a partner class (25%) or simply to help each other (23%). Only a minority wanted to learn how to use Skype (11.5%). Over 50% of teachers surveyed thought the concept would be "very valuable" and believed they would be "very likely" to take part.
As well as actively inviting teachers' input, we keep a constant eye on how they use the system. We spotted some using their profile pages to talk about school projects, and responded by enabling project sharing via a searchable ideas pinboard that now sits at the core of the site. We also introduced an email function after it became clear that teachers wanted to communicate with each other without having to log onto Skype immediately. There are now about 500 different projects appearing on the site every month.
It is worth mentioning here that although we have introduced some additional features at the request of teachers, we have advised the client to avoid feature overload and to keep the site as simple as possible.
5. What is the social value of your design? (Gladdening, educational, economic, paradigm-shifting, sustainable, labor-mindful, environmental, cultural, etc.) How does it earn its keep in the world?
The chief value is educational, and clearly the value of education in society is unquestionable. Teachers themselves are a key resource on the website, bringing considerable expertise and contacts to the network, and Skype allows their ideas to be distributed widely, enriching classroom experiences for students who wouldn't ordinarily have access to those resources. As a direct result of these shared materials, lessons will be livelier, students will have access to new ideas and people, and teachers can benefit from a support network. The design is democratic; the entire project is founded on the principle of sharing and connecting. It's important to stress that the project is not about showcasing individual teachers, rather what can be achieved through the integrated, Skype-using community.
6. If you could have done one thing differently with the project, what would you have changed?
While Skype video calls were entirely appropriate as a medium for interview, the inclusion of more face-to-face interviews could have added to the richness of understanding and information gathered. We visited schools and spoke in person to teachers, which was invaluable and it would have been really useful to shadow teachers for longer than the project schedule allowed.
Our hope is that this project represents the beginning of a long-term collaboration with Skype to develop similar idea-sharing sites for diverse worldwide communities.

Take Five And Meet Multi-published, Award Winning Author Maris Soule
26 comments:
Thank you, L.A. Sartor for inviting me to appear on your blog. It was fun thinking back to what inspired me to write ECHOES OF TERROR and how the story finally took form.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wonderful interview! I think so many of us are like you...walking the dog but really having intense conversations with our characters and stories. Mine like to do it while I'm driving and only when I'm alone!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Melissa,Delete
I usually have my ah-ha fix-it moment in the shower. I really must get a waterproof tape recorder or diver board to write notes.
Melissa, I also zone out while driving, which isn't always good. Although I'm on auto pilot watching the traffic on the road, my mind is working through a plot point, and suddenly I have no idea where I am.Delete
Congratulations on book number three-zero. What a great accomplishment. Your writing process pretty much mirrors my own. We never quite know what our characters are going to come up with, do we? I'm like you in another sense too, in that I get a LOT of writing accomplished while on my daily walks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Margo,Delete
I find after only 7 books that I'm plotting out the major beats and turning points, but then the characters take over and create the day-to-day story.
This has been quite a revelation and change for me, but it seems to be working better.
Congratulations on your many, many books, Maris. I too wonder about Elizabeth Smart and others like her. When I'm out walking, I like to push away my writing problems and enjoy the outdoors, knowing that my unconscious is hard at work. And then, all of a sudden, an answer to an unspoken questions arrives, and I'm headed home to write. Thanks for sharing your work and ideas.ReplyDeleteReplies
Susan, yes! Living in Colorado, and right next to the Flatirons, hikes beckon me and clear my mind. Usually after I get home, I have a glass of ice tea on the patio and within minutes am grabbing the laptop or iPad and fixing problems. Somedays it does take longer, but I've learnd to trust that it will work out.Delete
Susan, the workings of our subconscious absolutely amaze me. When I started writing, I didn't realize how helpful the brain (and the Universe) could be. Now, when I hit a wall, I simply stop worrying about it, and sure enough, in time the right answer shows up. Actually, sometimes it's spooky.Delete
A very interesting interview! Congrats on successfully writing 30 novels! Best wishes for your continued success.Replies
Excellent interview and helpful, too. I brainstorm a novel much as you do, Maris, but lag a bit in the number published. My nineteenth novel will be released in 2018.ReplyDeleteReplies
Congrats, Irene. 19 rocks!! Then there is #20....Delete
Great to see you here.
Ah, but Irene, how many years have you been writing? It took me over 30 years to reach this number. Besides, the number really isn't as important as the quality. Look at Harper Lee. With 1 book, she surpassed everything I've accomplished.Delete
Maris, dare I ask how long you've been writing? I've been writing since I was young, then tried to publish in the 90's, gave up because I was getting the same comments from agents, I was too sophisticated a writer. Then learned and wrote screenplays and 5 years ago tried the indie route, which I love.Delete
I have to bow to you there, too, Maris. My first book, a children's book called To Rainbow Valley came out in 1969 so that makes 48 years for me to reach 19 books. The fun thing is, that little book is still in print. Just got my royalty statement from Perfection Learning and To Rainbow Valley sold 367 copies in 2016. After this long! Makes me smile.ReplyDeleteReplies
Leslie Ann, like so many writers, I started making up stories when I was in grade school, tried writing those stories when I was in high school and was discouraged. I didn't think about being a writer until I was married and had two preschoolers and wasn't sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. :-) I started writing with the intent of being published in 1980. My first book was published in 1983, the giveaway for the brand new Harlequin Temptation line. That now seems like eons ago. I've had a few years, here and there where I wasn't published, and I've worked for 5 different publishing houses, but I keep hanging on. Next step, self-publishing???ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Maris, on #30! That's unfathomable to me. Loved the interview, especially how your setting and primary protagonist materialized. Also, love your cover--perfect for the storyline! Good luck in your journey with your latest release: Echoes of Terror.ReplyDelete
This is interesting about how you put several disparate events together to create this story. And Happy 30th book birthday.ReplyDelete
Thank you, SusanD. I find my stories become a combination of events I read about, hear about, see or experience. I have a sweatshirt that says on the front "Anything you say may appear in my next book." It is very true.ReplyDelete

Malaysia And Japan Awarded Quarterfinal Berths In Thomas Cup
KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (Bernama) -- Malaysia and Japan were awarded Thomas Cup quarterfinal berths from Group B by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Monday following Nigeria's absence yesterday in their opener against the hosts.
Malaysia were given a 5-0 win against Nigeria while Japan were awarded the same although they would still play against Nigeria this evening.
The Nigerians arrived only last night after their earlier flight were cancelled, missing their evening tie against Malaysia.
"The result of Japan-Nigeria tie will not count in the final positions in Group B but each of the individual matches will count towards the world ranking.
"This decision will also apply to the Malaysia-Nigeria tie," BWF chief operating officer Thomas Lund told reporters Monday.
The decision was made by the management committee comprising Lund, tournament referee Mojmir Hnilica and Paisan Rangsikitpho.
Lund said even if Nigeria managed to steal a point off Japan, the scoreline would still be 5-0 to be fair to both Japan and Malaysia.
A fresh draw for the knockout quarterfinals would be held tomorrow night after all the group matches were completed.

Client :
Fanta's Saving Play campaign took to the big screen recently and reminded teenagers just how fun it is to be a kid. With cinema serving as a platform that targets individuals when they are most engaged with the content, the Saving Play campaign centered on Fanta's global comic book called 'Save the Play'.
The comic is about a group of teens that need to save the world from boredom by reminding everyone how fun and important it is to play. "Teens these days have so much responsibility that they have forgotten how to be kids," says Amy Ford, Account Manager for Off-limit Communications. "Fanta wanted to send a fun message that was bigger, better and more fun."
Saving Play hit the big screens, capturing the essence of play in the biggest way possible. The result was an increase in Fanta sales during the period of the campaign.

Quite often we hear how nationalism is dangerous. Bad. Wrong. It has negative connotations, and is associated with both the world wars. If you want to see how far the SJW poison has spread google nationalism. Negative images and Nazi flags abound. Yet nationalism is rising across the world. Brexit and Trump are two clear examples. Also, nationalist governments have been elected in Austria, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Catalonia has a separatist movement that appears to be growing in strength. So is nationalism really that bad? And why is it on the rise?
A Look Back at History
Let us examine World War One. Surely the clearest case that shows nationalism is bad? Different countries, each with a notion of their superiority, squaring up to each other and being belligerent. Eventually it spilled over in to open war. But was it really nationalism? Most of the countries involved had some kind of Empire. Britain certainly did. France had overseas territories. Russia had a land empire, as did Austria Hungary. The Ottoman empire had held sway over the middle east, parts of North Africa and Europe. Germany had some colonies but badly wanted an empire. Britain was afraid of losing hers. Russia was always looking to expand, and draw in more Slavic peoples. The Ottomans wanted to win back territory, and vie for more land with Russia.

text: Though Thailand wasn't my favorite of the trip, I have so many good memories of the days we spent in Bangkok and Koh Tao. I was happy to get to spend New Year with so many friends from back home. I had my most memorable meals there as well as the most expensive yet delicious cocktail overlooking the city and welcoming the New Year. In Koh Tao we quickly adjusted to the island life mode, spending the days at beach, driving around the island with what I called a toy scooter, but mostly just relaxing.

{see my original Fall Bucket List post}
Fall should just be called October. Best month of the whole year. AmIright?! Shawn and I are burning so many fall-scented candles in our house right now. I don't hate it. And yesterday we made some hot, spiked cider, which was strong, but pretty tasty! Yes, it's officially fall up in the Ritter household.
Here is a quick update on my fall bucket list:
// Try a pumpkin spice latte.
// Try a new restaurant.
// Blog every day in October. In progress! Join Blogtober14 hosted by Helene and Taylor.
// Make a burlap wreath or some other fall-inspired DIY project. This calls for another D-I-Wine Night.
// Go to Columbus Oktoberfest or drink my fair share of Oktoberfest beer. Samuel Adams Oktoberfest if our go-to. We missed this event. Fail.
// Recreate at least five outfits from my Fall Fashion pin board. I'm loving these looks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
// Have a bonfire and make s'mores.
// Tailgate on campus for an Ohio State game.
// Finish Gone Girl and see the movie.
// See Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and
// Go hiking in Hocking Hills.
What's on your fall bucket list?
