Degrees and Certifications:
Ms. Swick
Who is Ms. Swick? I graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelor of Education. I just finished completing my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction this month!
I spent seven years teaching sixth and seventh grade language arts, in both rural and urban school districts, prior to taking time off to raise my children. I returned to the classroom full time as a fourth grade teacher for three years now, after serving as a district wide substitute for three years. Returning to a fourth grade classroom teaching math, social studies, and science, excites and inspires me. I am passionate about helping your children grow into independent, confident, life-long learners! I can easily say fourth grade is my FAVORITE grade to teach! Watching my students transform from shy and unsure third graders into confident and courageous fifth graders is truly an incredible part of their journey! A common theme found in my classroom is KINDNESS. I have very high expectations of my students in regard to their empathy and respectful treatment toward one another.
When I am not at school, I am a full time, single mom to two amazing kids! My son, Casey, is in tenth grade and an avid baseball player. My daughter, Riley, is in seventh grade and an avid dancer and middle school cheerleader. Both are very active which, in turn, keeps me on my toes, or, at the very least, keeps me in the car! I enjoy watching and supporting my children pursue their passions and dreams. In addition, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends, and supporting my students within the community!

Happy Easter! And here's my addition to your basket, my Easter piece for Cracked magazine, #343, May 2000!
From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
Oh, look, another pharma parody! This one was a rewrite of an old Cracked magazine piece I did. Also inspired by SNL's Happy Fun Ball. They are fun bits to write, as you can just do a stream-of-consciousness run of the various things that can go wrong. It's a staple of comedy, runs of words that play off each over, sound alike, get worse and worse, or more absurd. It's just weird that I submitted this bit so closely after I submitted the other bit. But, when you're trying to come up with material, you can't get too choosy about what and when you send it. But, unlike the Cracked version, the set up is pretty straight forward. It's the disclaimers that go nuts and completely contradict the commercial. Especially the fact that the first three things side effects are the exact things the commercial copy says it doesn't do. Too subtle?

Yeah, the gap between issues is widening.
This may have been the Charity issue. They were so strapped for cash at one point, the editor asked us to donate material so the whole issue wouldn't be reprints.
Also around this time, to compensate for the lack of compensation, I requested and received a title and mention in the masthead, becoming Traveling Editor for a couple of issues. It was the only title I would hold until my day job gave me a bogus "associated director" title.

Iain Duncan Smith to pump £30 million into relationship education
"Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith will this week promise to pump money into keeping couples together, and encouraging them to tie the knot. The pledge to spend £30million on "relationship support" will be accompanied by a major overhaul of the benefits system. Mr Duncan Smith has studied Norway, where divorce rates have been falling for the past 15 years after its government launched a state-sponsored "relationship education programme". He will point to new research that shows the cost of family breakdowns to the taxpayer is now a staggering £24 billion a year." – News of the World (£)
Labour accuses Cameron of lining up with extremists on multiculturalism – Independent on Sunday | Yesterday's LeftWatch
But, in The Observer, Nick Cohen praises him: "David Cameron seems to be prepared to stand up for elementary principles. He was almost pitch-perfect in his speech in Germany as he rejected with the required scorn the right's argument that a clash of civilisations made Muslims and democracy incompatible and the double-standard of the multi-culturalists, who hold that one can oppose fascistic doctrines when they are held by white-skinned demagogues but not when they are propagated by brown-skinned reactionaries."
Other reactions:
- "Unless Britain rediscovers its pride in its values this wretched multiculturalism will never die." – Mihir Bose in the Mail on Sunday
- "Mr Cameron talks about "standing for a broader and more generous version of citizenship". These are fine words, but he does not say how it will be achieved." – The Sunday Times leader (£)
- "One of the deep causes of discontent in this country is that, by dissolving our identity, we have left migrants and their British-born children with nothing to believe in, no nation to join or be proud of.
Mr Cameron appears to be at least half- way to recognising this. But his prescription of 'muscular liberalism', with its obeisance to continental concepts of 'equal rights' still seems dispiritingly Blairite and not very British. This is a good beginning, but it needs to be bolder to succeed." – Mail on Sunday leader
> Paul Goodman yesterday: David Cameron sends a message to Westminster and Whitehall: treat extremists like racists. Now he must make it happen | Video
Cameron: Fuel bills will drop by £1,000 by 2020
"Household fuel and energy bills will fall an average of almost £1,000 a year by 2020, David Cameron has pledged. The Prime Minister made the announcement in Brussels on Friday night after EU leaders agreed to deliver £180billion worth of energy savings within a decade… As part of the process, more nuclear power stations will be built as well as a giant "supergrid" in the North Sea, delivering electricity to homes in northern Europe. Mr Cameron said creating a single, fully-functioning, integrated and interconnected European energy market was "something Britain strongly supports"." – Sunday Express
Police to lose '10,000 officers by 2012' according to Labour research – BBC
David Davis predicts that an overwhelming majority of MPs will reject votes-for-prisoners in Commons debate – Sunday Telegraph
- "The convicted killer leading the campaign to give prisoners the vote has launched a foul-mouthed, racist attack on an ethnic minority MP opposing his cause. John Hirst, who served 25 years in jail for killing his 69-year-old landlady with an axe, unleashed a stream of vitriol against Tory MP Priti Patel, branding her a 'Paki', a 'foreign import' and even insulting her looks." – Mail on Sunday
- Britain should opt out of the European Court of Human Rights' jurisdiction – Alasdair Palmer in The Sunday Telegraph
Is the NHS safe in the Tories' hands? – Tim Montgomerie in The Sunday Telegraph
- The NHS is ripe for reform – Ian Birrell in The Observer but David Miliband opposes the Coalition's reforms
- In the News of the World (£) Fraser Nelson warns against reforms that aren't thought through: "Cam knows the problem is announcing policies that are not thought through. Then being hopelessly unable to defend them. I'm reliably informed he's furious with Health Secretary Andrew Lansley's cack-handed handling of NHS reform. But Cam says: Press on ahead. Britain needs boldness. He's right, but what it needs more is properly-organised boldness."

- YouGov/Sunday Times results 4th-6th Feb Con 36%, Lab 42%, LD 10%; Net approval -24%
Martin Ivens: The Coalition has a good story to sell (if it would sell it)
"Iain Duncan Smith's welfare reforms are designed to fix the broken society, as the voters understand it, by making work pay. They are instrinsically popular. Immigration is being cut. Michael Gove is wrestling with a failing education establishment to provide better schools. His pupil premium puts teaching resources behind poor children. If the Tories need a good news narrative, here it is. Yet this is not the one they promote." – Martin Ivens in The Sunday Times (£)
Labour MPs mocked my disability in the Commons, says Tory MP, Paul Maynard, with cerebral palsy – Mail on Sunday
Labour building database of sad cuts stories – James Forsyth in the Mail on Sunday
Nick Clegg targeted as anti-AV campaign links him to broken promises
"Campaigners against electoral reform are to distribute six million leaflets taunting Nick Clegg for describing the proposed alternative vote (AV) system as a "miserable little compromise" before the last general election… The leaflet campaign is part of a push by the cross-party "no" camp to associate AV in the public mind with the Liberal Democrat leader and his party, whose popularity has plummeted since the pre-election upsurge of "Cleggmania"." – Observer
In the Independent on Sunday John Rentoul expects Cameron wants AV: "The Prime Minister knows that it might cost the Conservatives a few seats at the expense of the Lib Dems, but I suspect that this is outweighed by the political advantage not just of strengthening the junior party in the coalition, but of strengthening its support for the coalition. AV might also have the advantage of an insurance policy, in that it allows parties to advise their supporters how to allocate their preferences, so the Tories and Lib Dems would have no need of a formal pact to encourage their voters to support each other."
> Thursday's ToryDiary: AV can be defeated if voters go into the polling booth thinking of Nick Clegg, broken promises and tuition fees
The Sunday Telegraph at 50
"The Sunday Telegraph is a conservative newspaper, but we have never given the Conservative Party our uncritical support: when we think it has erred, we have been unstinting in our criticism. A current example is the plan to sell off England's forests, which we were the first to reveal. In common with many of our readers, we think it a policy whose effects have not been adequately thought through. Yet we share basic conservative values with the party of that name: we believe that individual and communal freedom is the source of our nation's prosperity, vitality and happiness, and that this can too often be vitiated by an interfering state; we have an instinctive distrust of change for its own sake; we think that good manners and respect for other people's convictions and traditions are an important element in any civilised community. We believe in high standards: some ways of doing things are better than others, and the better ways should be cherished and encouraged rather than denigrated as "elitist". Cynicism is often the default setting for commentary on the state of the nation: it is not ours. We believe that there is a great deal about British society that is worth preserving." – Sunday Telegraph leader
And finally… Cameron tells Sunday Telegraph that Mrs Thatcher, Bob Dylan and Sky+ are among his favourite things of last 50 years.

ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme2018Location:United KingdomClient:Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC).
ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme is a free scheme that aims to help fleet operators improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions whilst achieving cost savings.
ECO Stars was originally set up in South Yorkshire in 2009 to tackle local air quality issues caused by transport, focusing on HGVs, buses, coaches and vans. Fleet operators made great progress in reducing their environmental impact, and wanted recognition for their efforts, but at the same time access to expert and practical advice on how to make further improvements. As a result ECO Stars was born.
ECO Stars is managed by our TRL Freight and Fleet experts on behalf of Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC).
Since the scheme's conception in 2009 TRL now manage and operate over 26 schemes in the UK, including dedicated schemes for taxis and private hire vehicles.
ECO Stars has been adopted by many other council areas in the UK including West Yorkshire, Edinburgh and our newest scheme Newport in Wales. In total, the individual schemes have more than 500 members with 14, 000+ vehicles.
Any fleet regardless of size can join.
There are many benefits to membership, these include
- Cost savings of up to £2,450 per vehicle* - for an operator with 10 vehicles this equates to a saving of one tanker of fuel!
- Improved fuel efficiency – by as much as 5%
- Access to expert advice – TRL have a dedicated team of fleet specialists who can give you practical guidance and advice
- Improve your green credentials Membership will help you be recognised as an environmentally responsible fleet operator, not only by other operators but customers and the wider community.
Check ECO Stars membership leaflet
Also you can join ECO Stars by calling 01344 77700 or contact us and one of our fleet specialists will get back to you and talk you through the simple application process.

Celestial Hierarchy
A corpus within the Dionysian writings which presents the angelic hierarchy in three triads of seraphim, cherubim and thrones; dominions, powers and authorities; principalities, archangels and angels.
The study of mankind's past human existence through intellectual classification in the fields of natural science and humanities. The four main divisions of anthropology study are biology, culture, archaeology, and linguistics.
Ethiopian Jews
The Axumite Jewish empire in Ethiopia was started by Manelik, storied son King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, according to an ancient myth. The Jewish Axumites say that when Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt, some of them had gone south instead of east, claiming Ethiopia to be the holy land of God. Pharisaic Judaism did not reach Ethiopia, so the Jewish religion was based solely on the Torah and never developed a rabbinical law. Legend speaks of the hiding of the Ark of the Covenant, which, which was thought that Solomon had given to Manelik for safekeeping on the shores of Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile (Hill, 106). (See Manelik)
Hill, Jonathan. Zondervan Handbook to the History of Christianity. Oxford: Lion Publishing, 2006.
The holy language of the Jews is the earliest recorded Semitic language that all other semitic formed languages (Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Ethiopic, Phoenician, Maltese, Tigre, Tigrinya and others) are based. The Torah is written in Biblical Hebrew and it was one of the languages spoken at the time of Jesus Christ. A modern form of Hebrew is currently spoken by Israelites, and has been used in prayer and study throughout Jewish communities for over two thousand years.
A distinctive culture plus time with complex and extensive traditions that are passed on through multi-generations.
The Philistines were a tribe allied to the Phoenicians. They were a primitive race which spread over the whole district of Lebanon, the valley of Jordan, Crete and other Mediterranean islands. In the time of Abraham, they inhabited the south-west of Judea and Abimelech of Gerar was their king. They were a powerful tribe and made frequent incursions against the Hebrews, and there was almost always a war going on between them.
They were not subdued until the time of King Hezekiah, however, they continued to occupy their territory and show hatred toward Israel. The Philistines are called Fulsata or Pulista on the Egyptian monuments and the land of the Philistines (Philistia) was termed Palastu and Pilista in Assyrian inscriptions. From Philistia, the name of the land of the Philistines came to eventually be known as "Palestine."
Ancient Ink
Created by combining charcoal, gum Arabic, and water and applied to papyrus, parchment, potsherds, stone, or clay.
The 'soul friend' of the Celtic religion is an important element, where every monk would have his own mentor to help and advise him. This practice in Irish Christianity was retained from Celtic paganism, where a druid would act as a spiritual adviser to a younger person.
Denotes the primitive period before the Flood recorded in Genesis 7.

By: Hassan Al-Haifi
The Second Anniversary of the launch of the Yemeni Youth Peaceful Revolution is approaching (February 11, 2011). So far, it is inescapable to discern that the aspirations and hopes of the millions of Yemenis, who took to the streets for the most part of the Year 2011, in support of the brave Yemeni youth demanding a real concrete regime change was thrown out the window, have been erased cancelled and annulled until further notice. The legitimate demands of a nation, ruled for a third of a century by a ruthless mob of killers, thugs, political embezzlers, cutthroat mercantile establishments seem to be now a figment of the imagination. The regime change sought by the brave Yemeni peaceful revolutionaries, has been tragically replaced by an even more incoherent political framework that pathetically kept most of the sleazy framework of the notorious regime of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh loosely functioning, but pretty much in power! The returns of the Yemeni Revolution, and of all the sacrifices of the brave youth that challenged the combination of military, security and paramilitary organs, as well as mercenary thugs, who spared no effort to inflict the most brutal violence against peaceful unarmed Yemeni youth, to date is absolutely ZERO. In short, it is not far-fetched to openly declare that the Yemeni Revolution for Change and Transformation to a Democratic Modern Civil Government has been swindled from the people of Yemen lock, stock and barrel.
The so called Gulf Cooperation Council – a mixture of archaic monarchical, tribal and clannish fiefdoms – was actually "commissioned" to work out a "peaceful" political formula, supposedly meant to lead to the changes demanded by the Yemeni people. Nothing can be deemed as being more sarcastic than to believe that absolute autocrats, set in power by the old imperialistic order that dominated the world for the most part of the last five hundred years, could ever devise any political modus operandi that would cater to the democratic ideals, freedom and liberty and a corrupt free state, legitimately aspired for by the Yemeni youth and the masses of Yemenis of all walks of life that supported them. One only has to see how the domains of these autocrats are ruled by these tyrannical regimes to see the farce in all this ridiculous political wishful thinking. If that was not enough, the GCC Initiative had the blessings of the international community with Security Council Resolution 2014 for 2011 and 2051 for 2012 respectively. What is even more repugnant is that the entire global community went out to legitimize murder, corruption and cruelty to humanity with one easy sweep by establishing the un-Godly precedent of immunity to most of the icons that kept Saleh in power all those years and by actually keeping most of those culprits in charge of the military, political, economic and social muscle that were used to keep Saleh's notoriously corrupt regime in power.
Yemen is currently drowned in an ugly quagmire of a government shared by killers, thieves and irresponsible senior military and civilian officials, of whom many have mixed loyalties, none of which could be considered patriotic, or with the best interest of Yemen and the Yemeni people to heart. It is close to anarchy, with foreign regional and international powers trying to etch the biggest influence in affairs of state, each for their own reasons and interest, none of which even try to give lip service to the interest of the Yemeni people. The obvious result of this mess is one cannot clearly outline any sort of scenario for the future that is promising in any way. We hope for the best, but of course bear in mind that the current climate is signaling the inevitable need for a decisive outcome among the political wranglers of hodgepodge power centers and pretentious political machines, most of which lack the most rudimentary manifestation of a grass roots following of any caliber worth mentioning.
The divisions in the country are nowhere to be seen as nearing any successes in the efforts to cement the rifts between the political forces at play in the country. The so called opposition forces that "aided" the revolt have come out as merely being the other side of the same coin that manifested the Saleh regime. Thus, one should not expect any of the latter to stand for the realization of any idealistic dreaming by youth drowned in wishful thinking, which does not conform to the selfish interests of an establishment, which itself was born out of mob rule. So, we have this "opposition", represented by Army Generals, like Ali Mohsin Al-Ahmar, who most observers have never seen to be much different from Ali Abdullah Saleh, in greed and in ruthlessness. We also have a simulation of an opposition, which included tribal leaders like the children of the late Sheikh Abdullah Bin Hussein Al-Ahmar, Paramount Sheikh of Hashid Tribal Confederation. Then, there is the Islah (Yemeni Congregation for Reform) Party, a socio-political attempt at partisanship with a presumably religious agenda, which has a heavy dose of Wahhabi "puritanism" and an uncompromising clerical order that abhors any deviation from their inflexible theological conceptualizations of the religion of Islam. They originate from the same fundamental roots that brought Al-Qaeda, and other splinter Wahhabi terrorist organizations, like the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The last three factions are closely tied in political directions and methodology and there is no room for any modern idealism in their perceptions of the future politics of Yemen. One would not be far-fetched in assuming that these factions remain in covert alliance with the General People's Congress (the political partisan cover of Ali Abdullah Saleh) and even Saleh himself, while on the surface showing less visible manifestations of such alliance. This political hypothecation is further supported by the certainty that all four factions continue to be beneficiaries of generous Saudi funding, which remains uninterrupted to this day. Thus any difference in the roles they are expected to play are mainly superficial and should not lead to the ability of any of the factions to eliminate any of the other vassals of Saudi influence in Yemen.
There are real serious problems in Yemen, as a result of this delicate arrangement for political transformation. The law has been shelved and it is hard for anyone to achieve any justice for any grievance or crime inflicted against them. The country is open to uncontrollable bombing raids by United States drone attacks and now more recently by the Saudi Air Force (an attempt at playing a fictitious anti terrorist role: ridiculous from the outset, because it is not a mystery to most knowledgeable political analysts that all forms of Wahhabi inspired terrorism originates in Saudi Arabia, which continues to bankroll most religious "extremism" and murderous terrorist attacks, now mostly unleashed throughout the Moslem world). These attacks indicate that Yemen has lost all control over its sovereignty and is now literally under the mercy of self-serving foreign powers.
The effort to implement a "national dialogue", which is supposed to engineer the political future of Yemen is beset by so many obstacles that there can be no great expectations to come out of it. For one thing, the factions that made up the "old" regime of Ali Abdulla Saleh continue to dominate the membership of a government of "accommodation" and the national dialogue committee membership. Where are the leaders of the youth and the many informal social, intellectual and civil society leaders, who are untied with the old regime? They have been given some token membership in both government and the national dialogue committee, but surely their voices will be drowned, if they attempt to voice any genuine concerns are sure to fall on deaf ears in these mediocre instruments arising out of the GCC Initiative.
There are possibilities for more violent conflict as the increasing power of the Houthis and the call for southern autonomy are causing tremors outside Yemen and within the existing Saudi backed establishment in Yemen. The Saudis are not enjoying the increasing spread of Houthi acceptance in large areas of Yemen (as they mistakenly view them as threatening allies of Shiites in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon). The Saudis have financed and continue to bankroll and organize religious schisms in Yemen to eliminate any rendition of Zeidi theology, the sectarian inclination of most far northern governorates of Yemen. Southern distress and feeling of betrayal arising out of Saleh regime excesses and deliberate failure to abide by commitments to the unification agreement signed by the General Peoples Congress and the Yemeni Socialist Party (former rulers of North and South Yemen respectively. has encouraged a stronger desire to return to Southern "statehood", a temporary flirt with sovereignty that came after independence from heretofore British administrative and political authority, which only lasted from 1967 to 1990.
Many Yemenis would not like to say this, but the outlook for the future is very grim indeed, with possible increases of violence, as the breakdown in law and order continues to become more fermented with the passage of time and the increasing helplessness of the shoddy government of accommodation to assert itself in any meaningful and respectful function of government in any sphere of authority. In short, the GCC Initiative did no more than orchestrate the swindle of the Yemeni Revolution from the legitimate rightful owners: the Yemeni people.

Virtual Power Plant
Contact Energy and its partners are linking households in Wellington, Christchurch, Palmerston North and Auckland to turn them into a Virtual Power Plant, using a unique technology platform developed specifically for the project by Contact. Households with solar PV, battery or hot water diversion equipment are able to flexibly respond to signals to feed clean energy into the grid or switch themselves off to help manage demand peaks, while also helping homes become more resilient to natural disasters. At scale, the VPP can replace the role of a thermal peaking power station, helping accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy sector.

This includes:
- shorts or leggings
- leotard (this in not compulsory)
- a tight fitting t-shirt, crop top or singlet
- long hair tied back and off the face
- no jewellery.
Any clothing your gymnast wears should be relatively tight-fitting that will allow free movement. Skirts and denim are poor choices. Shoes and socks will need to be taken off before going out on the gym floor.
The gym cannot take responsibility for any lost items, therefore we advise that valuables are not brought to the gym.
We ask that you bring a water bottle and some warm clothes to wear to and from class in the cooler months.
Leotards, shorts and longs are available to purchase from our local supplier DIGS firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm sitting here trying to come up with a witty first line for my new novel, something that will immediately catapult me into the story, but all I can think of is Billy Crystal in Throw Mama From the Train. I remember watching him struggle for the perfect first line, the perfect word until I wanted to scream "Skip the first line! Start anywhere! Or at least dig out a thesaurus." But that was before I started to write, and now I find myself doing the same thing.
Odd that first lines are so important, yet few set the mood or do anything else they're supposed to. And fewer still are memorable. Probably the best known line is "It was a dark and stormy night," but it's also considered to be the worst first line in history. Why? It seems evocative to me, and though it's supposed to be redundant, even city people should know that stormy nights are not always dark. Maybe that's why I haven't yet found a publisher. Maybe I just don't get it.
How about this for a first line? First and last, actually. As the ax descended toward her head, the young mother struggled in vain to free her hands from the nylon rope. It might be a good hook, but if doesn't tell us who she is, why someone killed her, or why we should care.
Axes don't have anything to do with the story I want to write. I've always wanted to write the story of a love that transcended time and physical bonds, told with sensitivity and great wisdom. Unfortunately, as one agent pointed out, I have a matter-of-fact writing style, little talent, and no wisdom. So all I can do is put words to the page one at a time, hope for the best, and thank heavens I can always rewrite later.
Now if I can only think of that first perfect line.
My adopted mother and I were never what one would call, "close," but, although it would take some time to develop "love" for her, I did respect her. She wa...

Even if you believe in the promise of the United States as much as I do, this week has been shocking. Today the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of marriage equality– a few short years after no reasonable observer would have said such a thing was possible.
Earlier this week another miracle: a wave of white southern politicians called for the removal of the Confederate flag from official buildings as a symbol that fosters murderous hatred.
"I don't think god wants us to stop there," President Obama said just now in a religious speech about equality at the memorial for a pastor killed in the Charleston massacre.
The president said that the nine murders in the AME church last week should cause Americans to go further, to consider what we're doing "to cause some of our children to hate." And he asked us to forgive tens of thousands of black youths in prison and change an employment system where "Johnny" gets called back for a job interview "but not Jamal."
All those who seek equality in our society have a heady feeling today: the American story is not done yet, our country is going to keep struggling forward; and prison reform is before us.
After the Supreme Court ruling this morning the president said that some change is incremental and some comes as a "thunderbolt," and of course both thunderbolts this week are still crackling for us activists on the Palestine issue. The flag's removal and the Supreme Court decision raise two questions: Is Israel capable of the changes that we have witnessed here? And when is America going to shift to recognize Palestinians as human beings and not terrorists?
The first question is easy to answer. No. Israel has shown itself incapable of taking steps toward true equality; and it never will so long as it is constituted as a Jewish state.
For decades it was able to pull off the tension of being a Jewish democracy because of its Labor governments and the kibbutzes that Bernie Sanders and Tony Judt and Noam Chomsky went out to work on, or because of the shadow of the Holocaust, or its usefulness during the Cold War, or because it wasn't regularly massacring people under its control or limiting their movements. None of these conditions applies any longer. It has rightwing racist leaders who sharply limit the movements of Palestinians under its governance. Its Jewish citizens overwhelmingly approve massacres. Its leaders and proxies in the U.S. demand an endless cold war with Iran that entails the United States in a clash of civilizations.
Any reasonable person must acknowledge that every step Israel has taken in recent years has been away from democracy. If the moral arc bends towards justice, Israel's bends toward intolerance. Marilyn Kleinberg Neimark explained this two years ago:
Has Israel ever been a democracy? And if we add the reasonable caveat that no country lives up to the best ideals of democracy, then maybe it's better to ask, over these 65 years has Israel been tracing an arc that bends toward justice, speaking of Martin Luther King, of course. If the answer is No, could it be because no matter the potential merits and good will of the founding plan, the effort to establish and sustain the Jewish character of the intended Jewish democracy doomed the democratic character from the start, and it's been spiraling downward ever since? For whatever the starting point was, I think we mostly agree that Israel has become less democratic in recent years, and every time the separation between religion and state dwindles, free speech is curtailed, or minority rights are trampled, it is … in the name of preserving the state's Jewish character– that is, Jewish hegemony.

A simply little card that would be ideal for a New Years card of even wedding or engagement congratulations. Two stamped images- the sentiment is from Rubber Stampede "cheer bubbly" and the image was a stamp I got free on a magazine years ago!
I stamped the image and sentiment straight on to the square base card using a black Impress dye ink pad. Then I used a cool grey 1 promarker to go over all the stamped lines to give a sense of depth on a flat one layer card. I also coloured in the liquid in th glasses using a Powder Blue promarker and the glasses using a Satin coloured promarker. Finally I blinged it up with multi-coloured gems and some tiny Papermania glitter dots for the bubbles.
I would like to enter this for the Less is More challenge "A bit of Bling" and the I love promarkers "Anything goes" challenege

As a college student, Michael Brown recalls sitting in those large lecture classes that everyone is required to take.
"When I took those classes, I did terribly in them," he said. "I like math. I use statistics extensively in my research. But I did terribly in the first college stats class I took because I felt lost amidst the hundreds of students in the room."
Today, as a new assistant professor in the Iowa State University School of Education, Brown is working to transform that model.
He aims to improve teaching and learning in lecture classes that enroll more than 100 students — which are gateways to science, technology, and engineering careers. He builds instructional tools as a way to help students build community and seek help when they are struggling academically.
"In large lecture courses, there are potentially fewer opportunities for instructors to provide students feedback," he said. "Building digital tools that provide students feedback is one way we can overcome the lack of intimacy in large lecture courses, and provide students resources and strategies that help them achieve their objectives."
Effective use of technology
Brown's research explores the role of technology in the experiences of undergraduate students. He is hailed for cutting-edge research on digital technology and pedagogy, or method of teaching, and the role that digital technology plays in fostering peer interactions in the classroom.
"Michael is a leading scholar in that area. That really was one of the things that really drew us to him," said Lorenzo Baber, an associate professor in the School of Education who is the division head for higher education. "We think we know a lot about classroom pedagogy but with a new generation of students coming in at the graduate level, the role of technology is a critical piece."
Brown analyzes the use of adaptive tutoring systems, online practice problem platforms, web-enabled dashboards, and learning analytics. He looks at what online tools student use, and how it relates to their academic success. He examines situations where students opt for online help versus studying with another student. And he develops new tools and interventions.
"In a large lecture class, digital technology can help us assess what a student is doing," he said. "Once we have an idea about what students are doing, we can help them develop a strategy for the course. That's what I'm working on right now — messages that can be delivered in these large classrooms through technology that are effective nudges to help students achieve their goals."
His research has found that timing matters. He said for students to be receptive to feedback in the form of personalized messages delivered through technology, they need to know enough about their performance to understand that they may need to make a change.
"I think there's the potential in using these technologies to really meet students where they're at and to give them lots of information about their performance in the course so they can make adjustments," he said.
Element of diversity and equity
Brown is a scholar-practitioner, meaning that his scholarship is enhanced by experience in the field.
He worked in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender student services at Vanderbilt University and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. That experience gives his work a dimension of diversity — which aligns with an emphasis in the School of Education's Division of Higher Education.
"If you read his work, you wouldn't think there's an equity component," Baber said. "But when you think about what he's trying to do fostering persistence and completion, there's an element of equity and diversity. That will be great for our students. Those are the things that really drew us to him."
Brown said some students taking large lecture courses in science, technology, and engineering, and mathematics — including women, international students, students of color, and those who commute — do not have an equal opportunity to make connections with others in the class and participate in study groups.
"If you come in and you know nobody, it's much harder for you to find a study buddy than if you come in and the seven people sitting next to you all live on your floor," he said. "The challenge is to understand how the community in these classrooms forms. And then if it forms in ways that limit students' opportunities, how do we create environments that better serve all students?"
Iowa State alumnus
Brown, who is originally from south Florida, is an Iowa State alumnus who received his master's degree in student affairs and development in 2007.
"I loved Iowa State when I was here as a student," he said. "It set me up to be the kind of scholar-practitioner I wanted to be."
He received his doctorate in higher education from the University of Michigan, where his dissertation focused on understanding student coursework engagement. He's continuing that line of research with a yearlong study that looks at 3,000 students in four large lecture courses, and how students respond to personalized feedback through an online academic coaching system.
Brown joins Iowa State's Division of Higher Education which includes Baber, Brian Burt, Erin Doran, Jan Friedel, Ann Gansemer-Topf, Linda Serra Hagedorn, Rosemary Perez, Robert Reason, Sarah Rodriguez, Dian Squire, and Marlene Strathe.

Canadian authorities have arrested the chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies in Vancouver, B.C.
Wanzhou Meng, who also goes by Sabrina Meng, was arrested in Vancouver on Saturday, Dec. 1, Department of Justice Canada spokesperson Ian McLeod told Global News.
He said Meng faces extradition to the U.S., and that a bail hearing has been set for Friday.
"As there is a publication ban in effect, we cannot provide any further detail at this time," McLeod said. He added that the publication ban was sought by Meng.
Huawei has not responded to Global News' request for comment.
U.S. authorities have been probing Huawei's alleged shipping of American-origin products to Iran in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws, sources told Reuters in April.
Meng, the 46-year-old daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, has previously been suspected of involvement in Huawei's alleged ties to Iran.
In 2013, Reuters revealed that Meng served on the board of Skycom Tech, a Hong Kong-based firm that attempted to sell embargoed computer equipment to Iran's Mobile Telecommunication Co, in violation of trade sanctions.
At least 13 pages of a proposal to sell Hewlett-Packard computer equipment to Iran were marked "Huawei confidential."
Skycom was described by Huawei as one of its "major local partners," although the Chinese company said neither it nor Skycom ultimately provided the HP equipment.
Huawei said its relationship with Skycom was "a normal business partnership," and said its business in Iran was in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

The number of gems and gold you have should not restrict your troop's upgradability. Because insufficiently prepared forces would lead to a "hollow Army."
And that is why you should make use of the best Magic Items which can boost your Clan troops. One such item that will significantly raise your troop's power is Book of Fighting.
Book of Fighting is a type of Magic Items under "Books" which lets you immediately accomplish any ongoing troop upgrade. These upgrades are only made possible within the Star Laboratory and Laboratory. This book can be used on any troops or Siege Machines, but nothing more. You can purchase this book from a Supercell Shop 2.0 with 925 gems and even can sell for 50 gems.
How to get the Book of Fighting?
In this section, we will explore how to get BoF in several ways. The main question is why you need this book? So, before telling the means to get it, I will tell you this book is required for instant, ongoing troop upgrades. Currently, there are four different ways to obtain Book of Fighting such as:
- You can get Book of Fighting by receiving specific reward tier in Clan Games.
- By completing challenging objectives in specific events, you can earn Book of Fighting.
- You can also purchase them through the Trader.
- Supercell Shop is the last way to obtain Book of Fighting using the gems or real money.
Get Book of Fighting in Clan Games
The easiest and the only way to get the Book of Fighting, as well as other magical items is through the Clan Games. These games are about accomplishing severe challenges and making points by forming groups. Clan Games is a type of competitive event that was first introduced in an update of December 2017. In these games, players will receive in-game tasks and challenges for a clan to complete. Players of Town Hall 6 or above are capable of playing Clan Games. The members below the certain rank need to work hard to reach the peak to complete the requirements for these games.
Clan Games will appear whenever the Strongmen's Caravan takes place at your village and interact with them. After the interaction, it will display challenges available to the Clan to complete. So, these visible challenges provide the players with a set of objectives to complete within a limited time.
What do players need to do in these tasks?
The event offers challenging tasks for players to complete, ranging from commanding certain troops to destroying certain buildings. However, these assigned tasks can involve either Builder Base or Home Village. The notable difference is that the Builder Base challenges have a different frame, darker with stars.
Earn Book of Fighting from Challenges
In-game challenges will offer you a chance to test your strength and strategic skills in different areas. Completing assigned challenges within time will reward you with clan points. Challenges may be different in difficulty. You don't need to worry, if you find some additional books, you can exchange them with gems, and you better know where you use gems in the game to the better edge. For an instant, ongoing troop upgrade, you must go with this book and attack foes from being threatened.
Does the Book of Fighting work on Heroes?
No, Book of Fighting does work on heroes. It can only help you to finish troop upgrade in your lab instantly.
But the debatable point here is that any troop update should include heroes as they are a part of the troops. You can discuss more on this topic with other Clash of Clans enthusiasts at forum.supercell.com.
Book of Everything is the only magic items that can upgrade heroes, troops, buildings, siege machines, etc. So, to upgrade Heroes, you will have to have either Book of Heroes or Book of Everything.
When to Purchase Book of Fighting?
If you're going to buy the Book of Fighting, then I'll suggest you purchase it only for specific troops, including Baby Dragon, Pekka, Dragons, and Miner at Town Hall 9 and blow. The players of Town Hall 10 and Town Hall 11 needs to purchase this Book of Fighting for Archers, Barbs, Wall Breakers, Goblins, Healer, Giants, and Wizard only. TH10 and TH11 have to buy it for Minions and Hog Raiders.
Book of Fighting Cost
If you don't have any book and you're in Town Hall 6 or above, then you are capable of purchasing this book using the gems. The cost of one Book of Fighting is 925 gems, and you can buy it from the Supercell Shop 2.0. So, the maximum value of this book is 14 days of the upgrade. Tables related to different figures are available below. The complete details about troops level and the remaining time are here, Check them out.
