Harrow College students gain internships following employability academy
Five Harrow College students who embarked on an employability academy run by Apprentice Winner Lee McQueen have been rewarded for their hard work and dedication with a paid internship.
The five students have just completed a six month, extra-curricular employability academy run by Raw Talent in partnership with Harrow College. The academy saw students complete the 8-stage course covering topics including; Business planning, self-motivation, communication and relationships building. The group also benefited from gaining an insight into commercial business workings, which included a visit to Capita's London Office. The successful students (pictured left to right with Lee McQueen far right) are: Venelina Urlachka (19), Valeria Bedoya Garcia (16), Rebeca Costa (19), Paula Nabulya (17) and Zachariah Soliman (17).
Earlier in the college year hundreds of students applied and were interviewed to secure a place on the course, all receiving detailed feedback from Raw Talent's expert recruiters.
Raw Talent Academy founder Lee McQueen, who worked for Lord Sugar for two years after winning the Apprentice said; "I am so passionate about the work Raw Talent does with Harrow College and it's students because it means we are giving students a head start in their future careers. To be able to create such a great partnership with the College proves how committed they are to their students. This year again saw exceptional talent from the students throughout our whole process and I'm looking forward to see them again completing their internships".
Lee Janaway, Head of Learner Services, Experience & Employability at Harrow College added; "These students have all developed new skills and attributes for future employment during their time on the academy programme and I am certain that they will use this to be successful in the future."
The final task for group was to do a presentation in from of Lee McQueen and Lee Janaway describing their Raw Talent experience and what they have learnt from the process. The paid internships will be with Lee McQueen's Raw Talent Academy as well as Capita who hosted the group during part of the academy process.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Parking is about to get a lot easier at the Amtrak station on Staples Mill Road in Henrico. Work on an $8.3 million parking lot project began this month.
Not only will the work more than double the number of parking spaces (274 to 589), it will also add a bus loading zone, bike racks, taxi/ride-share parking, improved pedestrian accommodations, additional ADA parking, and two entrances via Staples Mill Road and Bremner Boulevard.
"We are excited to break ground and continue providing more parking for Amtrak riders at the Staples Mill station," Jennifer Mitchell, Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, said. "We look forward to enhancing the overall Amtrak customer experience with these important improvements."
While the parking lot expansion in underway, the lot will actually lose some spots.
"Parking will be limited during construction with a minimum of 250 available spaces," a Department of Rail and Public Transportation spokesperson said. "Passengers should consider allowing for extra travel time, being dropped off, using a ride-share service or taking advantage of alternate parking at the Henrico County Park and Ride, located five blocks from the station at the intersection of Cloverdale Avenue and Crockett Street."
Construction began August 14 and is expected to be completed by summer 2018.

Halloween Re-Cap
Yes, as a matter of fact we did.
I left work early because Halloween is typically one of the worst afternoon commutes of the year. My commute wasn't too bad, so I arrived home earlier than I thought, as did Doug. That gave us time to change out of work clothes and gather our wits before picking Adam up from daycare.
By then it was about 5:30 so we got the boy and headed directly for the nearest Mexican restaurant and a couple of tall, frozen margaritas.
In no time at all we'd gotten our meal and settled Adam in a booster seat next to me with some rice, chips and cheese dip. I won't go into the details of the near meltdown he had when we tried to sit him in a high chair. I almost offered him a big swig of my margarita just to calm him down.
Just as I was beginning to thoroughly enjoy my tacos, Adam started his dinner time drama. The child just will not eat. Even when cheese dip is involved.
He spent the rest of the meal trying to stand up in the booster seat, spilling food on me, and yelling, No, Mama! No, Daddy! while jabbing his finger in the air like a little dictator. Needless to say, we wrapped up dinner pretty quickly. I didn't finish all my tacos, but you can be sure I didn't leave a drop of my margarita behind.
It was too early to go home. "They'll still be trick-or-treating", we said. So, we headed to Publix to get groceries for the weekend. While I shopped, Doug took Adam to see the BIG! DIDDER! (digger) sitting in a nearby parking lot.
I had nearly 30 minutes of pure, uninterrupted bliss amidst the produce and frozen foods.
By the time we pulled into our neighborhood Adam was on his third or fourth tantrum of the night for reasons I have long forgotten. I told you that I just walk away when he starts in. But we didn't think leaving him in the Publix parking lot alone with the BIG! DIDDER! would be the right thing to do.
All screaming ceased when he spied all the little ghosts and goblins still out perusing for treats. We passed the house that sets up a cotton candy machine in their yard. It's a virtual black and orange suburban carnival.
The next day when I picked Adam up at daycare after work, Avery, the little 4-year old neighbor girl yelled to me from the playground like she does every day.
Hey, Adam's mommy. You didn't have any candy for me last night.
Sorry. We weren't home.
I asked my mommy why you didn't have any candy. She said your house was dark.
We weren't home.
I was so sad. I didn't know why you weren't there.
Great. A guilt trip from a 4-year old delivered from atop the monkey bars.
I'm sure she'll never let me live it down.

We planned to go out to dinner that night just to be out of the house. But, with my head cold, I just didn't feel like getting out, so we bought a big bag of candy and George was put in charge of handing it out while I slept the afternoon and night away. We only had one child. Yep, one. And that was someone we know. They were having a big treat or treat parade, etc. at Baytowne Village and I guess that's where everyone went. Nice!

Jill you kill me. I know you had the time of it with a child yelling and fussy, but you can laugh about and make others feel like we were next to you. The 4 year old...that just too funny she would say that to you.
We didn't go anywhere, but kept the house dark and stayed in our room.

- Lynne :
We went out for dinner too. The kids in our neighborhood started early - before 6:00. When we got home, we kept the light off.
I've heard that 4 is like the Terrible 2's doubled! Odd years are supposed to be the good years.

I'm glad it was a somewhat enjoyable evening for you then! I imagine Publix was dead during that time - a smart move to go get some groceries!
My guys were in the field, and my girls were in town at Grandma's, helping her pass out goodies. I stayed home and watched Anna Karenina (1935). What a tragic movie!
Ten days and counting....

- Bella :
I am just glad to finally find another soul that doesn't like halloween! We don't do it and try to "be out" on that night. This year was a bit different but I still managed to avoid the worst of it.
- November 03, 2007
- Lyndy :
I didn't go out but my house was "dark" too. Fortunately, my den is in the back of the house so I had no little treaters at might house.
Oh and I agree with your poster Jeanetta, I too wish you wish you could get margaritas to go. LOL
- November 04, 2007
- Susan :
Out of the mouths of babes!!! Cotton Candy machine??? I think I'd have gotten out of there as well. I found myself a bit more annoyed than normal this year because there were a ton of older kids trickortreating. I hate that. I think there's a time when it needs to stop.
Well, at least it's only once a year, right!?!? And you had some good margaritas...one of my fav's!!
:-) Susan

Our house was dark that night also - but we were hiding out in the basement. :-)

- *carrie* :
I'm glad you were able to enjoy a frozen *treat* even if Adam was full of tricks!
- November 05, 2007
- Tammy :
Oh...you are hilarious, Jill!
I don't like Halloween either...except hubby and I have differing views on it, which makes it a little harder to avoid it completely. So we took them down the little street and back, and then off to a church Harvest party. I think harvest parties are just fine, but I have to say I would much rather have been sipping a margarita somewhere! LOL
And that last part did me in...the guilt trip from the 4 yr old on the monkey bars! :D
- November 05, 2007
- Sonya :
LOL! Gotta love those 4 year olds who have a way of making you feel like warmed up poo! I also loves that she calls you Adam's mommy! What a hoot!
I can't believe you couldn't bribe Adam with cheese dip. I mean, who can't be bought with that stuff? I know it would work if I had been in his place! I would have guzzled it from the bowl!

The Handel Ring
The enamelled yellow gold ring commemorating the death of George Frideric Handel in April 1759, the three gently curved sections sophisticatedly champlevé enamelled in white, a colour for mourning, with the legend 'GF HANDEL' , ' OB 14 APR', '1759 AET 74' the smaller fourth section with a gold lyre against blue enamel.
Maker's marl E.P within a rectangular punch.
Gauge : 3.1 mm
Internal diameter: 16.5 mm
Weight: 4.77 grams
The ring collection of Jürgen Abeler.
George Frideric Handel by Thomas Hudson, oil on canvas, 1756.
George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) was born in Halle Germany on 23rd February 1685. The son of a barber, Handel was brought up by a non musical family. However, by the age of 12 Handel has mastered several instruments. He was appointed assistant organist at Halle Cathedral and later trained in Hamburg, favouring the violin and composed his first opera 'Almira' in 1704. He then travelled to Italy in order to study opera composition and it was there that he completed his sixth Opera 'Agrippina', in Venice. In 1710 he moved to London becoming a naturalised citizen in 1727. It was here that he composed perhaps his best known work the 'water music' that premiered on 17th July 1717. Handel received approval from the King and was given permission to open the Royal Academy of Music. The Academy did not last and a failed attempt at creating another one probably contributed to a stroke that Handel suffered in 1737 at the age of 52. After recovering Handel composed 'The Dead March (from Saul)' which would later be played at the funeral of Lord Nelson in 1806. In 1741 Handel composed his last opera 'Deidamia' and perhaps his most famous work 'Messiah'.
In August 1750 on returning from a trip to Germany Handel was seriously injured in a carriage accident resulting in the loss of sight in one eye. In 1759 at the age of 74 he died at his home in Brook Street. It is widely believed that George Frederick Handel was one of the greatest composers of all time. Handel was never married and his is evident in the use of white enamel used for his mourning rings. It is also interesting to note that his monument designed by Louis Francois Roubiliac in 1738 and commissioned for the Vauxhall gardens, and now in the Victorian and Albert Museum, depicts him seated holding a lyre.

Top Ten Best Prospects in the 2019 NBA DraftSo this draft is loaded with talent and the forward positions and could end up making a big impact in the NBA. Remember these are only players from the upcoming 2019 Draft
The Top Ten
Yes but his career may be ended by injuries.
This guy can jump out of the gym. He is probably the best dunkers we have ever seen come out of college. He has the strength to post up a lot of smaller players and the speed to beat bigger players. If Zion can develop his shot he could be a superstar. - 2storm
At least number 2
I think he's the clear #1 pick - Randomator
This guy's is amazing. He is a all-around player and his shot is smooth. He can do anything and and is projected to go first. He is built a lot like T-Mac who is one of the best players ever. If I was a GM of a team I would be looking into this guy. - 2storm
Saw him play in a recap today he is awesome C good luck
Bruh didn't this guy come out of nowhere. - 2storm
Son of the late Manute Bol. He is an amazing defensive prospect and has a really good shot. According to NBA Draft Room he is 7-2 so he could easily move to his dad's height of 7-7. He also has a good shot which could translate very well. The one thing that could hurt Bol is he is very skinny. Hopefully that improves. - 2storm
go came
Reddish is a very good player that could become a James Harden type player. He is also tall for a SG. Reddish has the potential to be a really good defender combined with his scoring instinct and his athleticism he could be a great two-way player. - 2storm
Nassir is a fast rising prospect and he is really good physically. He has amazing potential and shows flashes of greatness. He is quickly developing a shot. The only thing is he is raw. So it just depends he can turn his natural talent to pure skill. - 2storm
His is a really good athlete and high level defensive player. He has the potential to turn into a Khawi Leonard type player. - 2storm
An elite point guard. He will definitely be top 10 maybe even top 5 - 2storm
The Contenders
Langford is a great scorer that can really be something in the NBA. He reminds me a lot of a more efficient and passer Devin Booker. He is the model of a efficient player and that goes a long way in the NBA. - 2storm
Johnson is a great shooter and could turn into a Bradley Beal or Devin Booker. The only thing that I don't like about Keldon is his athleticism and his defense. He could end up being a weak link Defensively. His Athleticism could be made for with his Handling Ability. - 2storm
I really like Moses. I think he is extremely underrated and he has a lot of Skill and raw talent for the center position. If he grows he could become something great. - 2storm
Yeah he needs to be top 5 - 2storm
A great point guard. He has a very good shot and he has good passing and ball handling. He could be a great all around point. - 2storm
Air Ball
Trash like lavar Ball
Another very versatile quick small forward. He is a very good defensive player. He is not a good shooter and will need to develop a shot. - 2storm
Goat of the goats
The brother of Michael Porter Jr. He should be a great floor spacer and good all-around player. - 2storm

Is SNL great Jane Curtin planning to murder millions of registered Republicans? Fox & Friends can't say for sure.
Feigned ignorance is a right-wing media ritual
In what was either the final faux scandal of 2018 or the first of the new year, Saturday Night Live alum Jane Curtin raised some conservative hackles with a comment aired during CNN's New Year's Eve Live. In a pretaped segment asking celebrities for their New Year's resolutions, Curtin deadpanned, "My New Year's resolution is to make sure that the Republican Party dies."
Within minutes, the clip began making the rounds on social media, and it later appeared on Fox News. Her video was actually part of a much larger package, which included goals from the likes of Tyra Banks ("to be on time"), Patricia Arquette (to "stop caring about New Year's resolutions"), and Harvey Fierstein ("to stop wearing all of this jewelry").
It may be a new year, but this response from right-wing media is very old and very predictable. Like so many others, Curtin's comment would be taken out of context, misrepresented, and ultimately used as an example of "violent rhetoric" among liberals.
As is often the case, Fox News played a major role in building on this tried and true narrative.
On the January 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy twisted Curtin's comment into something far more sinister, mischaracterizing it as being "about killing Republicans." Comedian Michael Loftus joined the show to weigh in:
MICHAEL LOFTUS, COMEDIAN: That was absolutely terrifying! Really terrifying! To make sure the Republican Party dies. She meant it. That wasn't a joke -- that wasn't a joke. That makes you glad that there's a three-day waiting period on guns. Jane Curtin has lost it. She's completely not funny. And here's what I think. I think that this is what the left has been thinking for a long, long time. It would be so much easier if there was no opposition. They have no message, they can't win a debate, so it would just be easier if all the Republicans were dead and gone. It's terrifying!
STEVE DOOCY, CO-HOST: So in other words, she's just being honest. That's what she wants.
LOFTUS: I think -- I think Trump has them so frustrated, the mask is off. It would be so much easier for the left if they -- if all the Republicans could just get out of the way. And they could just take over and we'd all be Venezuela by the morning. It's horrible. Jane Curtin has made a very good living playing cold, mean, calculating women. It turns out she wasn't playing a part. She's a cold, mean, calculating woman.
AINSLEY EARHARDT, CO-HOST: What do you think about folks in Hollywood, these actors that are giving their political opinions? Do you think they should do that?
LOFTUS: They can. If you want to give your opinion, go for it, but I'm not gonna hang out at any parties with these guys. Seriously, they want me dead! If I'm at a Hollywood party and Jane Curtin hands me an hors d'oeuvre, I'm gonna say "pass" and get to my car.
Townhall.com senior columnist Kurt Schlichter came away with a similar interpretation of Curtin's comment, tweeting that "Jane Curtis (sic) is free to want me dead" before advocating that "Normal Americans buy guns and ammunition to provide a deterrent to such aspiring tyrants."
Everyone understands full well that Curtin wasn't advocating for violence, but feigned ignorance is a right-wing media ritual.
In October, conservative media went into a total meltdown after former Attorney General Eric Holder urged Democrats to fight back against voter suppression efforts, saying:
"Michelle [Obama] always says, 'When they go low, we go high.' No. No. When they go low, we kick them. That's what this new Democratic Party is about. We're proud as hell to be Democrats. We're willing to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party."
Though it was obvious that Holder wasn't actually advocating for Democrats to literally kick people, he took an extra step to ensure his comments wouldn't be misinterpreted:
"Now, when I say, you know, 'we kick 'em,' I don't mean we do anything inappropriate. We don't do anything illegal. But we've got to be tough and we've got to fight for the very things that John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Whitney Young, you know, all those folks gave to us. That stuff can be taken away. That's what they want to do."
Fox News, Breitbart, The Washington Times, The Federalist, The Gateway Pundit, The Daily Caller, Hot Air, and RedState all jumped on the Holder story. More than a week later, as part of the Republican Party's "Jobs Not Mobs" campaign, President Donald Trump invoked Holder's "kick" comment to illustrate that Democrats are "losing it."
Absolutely none of this is new. For instance, during the 2016 campaign, Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson invoked a 2008 comment made by then-candidate Barack Obama. During a Philadelphia fundraiser, Obama quoted a line from the movie The Untouchables, saying, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
From the March 14, 2016, edition of CNN's The Lead:
KATRINA PIERSON, TRUMP CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON: If we want to talk about inciting violence, where is the interview with [Democratic presidential front-runner] Hillary Clinton and [President] Barack Obama when they're talking about bringing a gun to a knife fight? When they're inciting violence against police officers. Today, we have police officers called out to fake calls so that they can be ambushed and potentially assassinated.
The twisting of Curtin's words wasn't the first time conservative press took a statement from a liberal out of context, and it almost certainly won't be the last. That's why it's so important for readers and viewers to see past the outrage bait and look at the source material themselves.

Quarantined Vanilla Ice offers to solve Eminem-Machine Gun Kelly feud
A large commercial jet from Dubai landed at New York's Kennedy Airport on Wednesday after several passengers and crew members fell ill. 520 people including rapper Vanilla Ice were on board. The plane was quarantined. 10 people were sick. (Sept. 6)
Among 380 passengers that were quarantined aboard an Emirates Airlines flight from Dubai to New York was rapper-turned-DIY show host Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice.
Van Winkle tweeted from the plane, where about 100 people became ill with high fevers and coughing.
Don't worry: The sick passengers were on the bottom level of the plane; Van Winkle was on the top level.
With time to kill, Van Winkle decided to weigh in on the hip-hop feud brewing between Detroit's own Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly.
Van Winkle posted a picture of Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly ("These two have a problem?") and himself ("Yo I'll solve it"), then wrote "STOP. Now Listen! There is no need to take things so serious, including ourselves. This is Entertainment with the purpose to Entertain."
All passengers, presumably including Van Winkle, were able to get off the plane as the investigation into the illness begins.

Ed. Note: Today we welcome Kirsten from Simply Grove. She's stopping by to fill you in on an alternative way to use your holiday ornaments.
I am such a sucker for traditions during the holiday season. But I also like to think outside of the box. Ornaments are such a fun item to inspire over. They are perfect accessories for the classic Christmas tree, but they can also be a great solution for other festive ideas.
One way to display glittery or shiny ornaments (like Nambé's Bud and Spire ornaments) is to create an ornament chandelier. Group an assortment of ornaments, either identical or a variety, in a cluster over a table or seating arrangement.
You have just created a sparkly focal point! Blogger Viv of Ish and Chi, created a silver ball masterpiece above her dining table. It's the perfect compliment to her colorful centerpiece and dark wood furniture.
It's fun thinking outside of the box. And holiday DIY never hurt the wallet.

Innovative young designers are pushing the boundaries forward and creating a realm of new possibilities.
Hybrid systems are now commercially available and operating successfully around the world. Fuel cells bring crossover technologies from automotive. The maritime sector can also learn from how aviation, space and sub-sea power are managing these issues. As autonomous vessels move from concept to in-service they will require low maintenance power and propulsion systems. CFD modelling and testing is leading to improved hulls and propulsion systems.
Haynes, added, 'We know that having the right people on board is essential and there is no substitute for meeting the experts face to face. Our objective is to bring together a dynamic marine industry group and highlight viable innovation. This is not just green energy for the sake of it as presentations will show how fuel can be saved, maintenance costs reduced and engine life extended.'
There is a discount rate for members of British Marine, RINA, SSA, UKMPA, UKHMA, YBDSA.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Department of Revenue says identity theft prevention and refund fraud detection programs helped halt more than $9.7 million in improper payments during the 2018 budget year.
Revenue Commissioner Adam Krupp tells The Northwest Indiana Times the department is benefiting from combining technology with dedicated fraud monitoring specialists in partnership with other tax agencies.
Indiana for years has required selected taxpayers who say they are entitled to refunds to complete a four-question online identity confirmation quiz as part of the process of submitting their income tax returns. The state revenue agency also has been closely monitoring filings that include excess withholding to identify people who may have incorrectly reported their pre-paid income taxes.
Fraud prevention programs over the past five years have denied payment on more than $119 million.

When David insists you are fine exactly the way you are, you find yourself almost believing him. When he talks about unconditional love, he gives you a new lease on life, because the way he explains it, you may, for the first time, believe that even you could taste of this. As he explains it, in the Church of 80% Sincerity, everyone has come to understand that unconditional love is a reality, but with a shelf life of about eight to ten seconds. Instead of beating yourself up because you feel it only fleetingly, you should savor those moments when it appears. As David puts it, "We might say to our beloved, 'Honey, I've been having these feelings of unconditional love for you for the last eight to ten seconds.' Or, 'Darling, I'll love you till the very end of dinner."

Ten of our grade 12 students travelled to Kenaston this afternoon to join together and celebrate our third annual DLC graduation ceremony. The DLC is proud to be able to deliver education to students from diverse backgrounds, and today they were able to come together to celebrate their common success together.
The flexibility of the DLC has allowed each of these students to pursue interests that may not have otherwise been possible. Many have been able to work part times jobs while finishing high school, as well as pursuing post-secondary and career goals. One of our graduates has been accepted to attend the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, another has been able to follow his dreams of becoming a professional archer. Another student is heading abroad to learn more about her Australian roots, while others are exploring the many possibilities that graduating with the DLC has opened up for them.
Valedictorian, Sarah Hammond, encouraged her peers, stating that, "We might not know the answer to that famous question, "what do you want to be when you grow up," yet, but that's okay," and wisely encouraged her fellow graduates to, "Never worry about what others are thinking about you. Be yourself, don't compete in the popularity contest your whole life."
The day was a great opportunity for the graduates to meet their teachers in person, tour the school, and mark the momentous occasion.
Thanks to our graduates who were able to attend, and to all of our graduates throughout the province. Congratulations – we are so proud to have been part of your journey!

Things to Know Before Purchasing the Mooring Offshore Chains
When you have a cruising sailboat, you should ensure that it is properly anchored and that can only be facilitated by the mooring chains. When purchasing the mooring chains, you need to be informed to find the best ones in the market. The following are some of the things that you should consider to find the best.
Confirm on The Weight
It is important that you identify the weight of an anchor chain before you purchase it. Selecting the anchorage chain that weighs too much will only affect the sailing. You should consider the different weight options and some of the leading product such as High-test will ensure that you use less weight.
Thoroughly Inspect the Chain
When you're purchasing the chains, it is important to check on the various aspects of the product to ensure that they are functioning better. When you notice that the chain that you are considering have any signs of rust, distortion or abrasion, you should not purchase them. Once you purchase this kind of items you should ensure that you maintain them and brushing them with the wire mesh will ensure that you remove the rust.
Ensure That You Identify the Best Types of The Anchor Rode
When you're selecting the chains, your decision should be influenced by the type of your sailing. The offshore vessels are always bigger ones and you need to find a chain that can best support the larger vessels without any problem. To improve your anchorage needs, you should only identify the sellers that have the all rode chain to facilitate the anchoring process.
Do A Research to Identify the Multiple Types of Chains
Conducting a research will ensure that you get the sufficient information concerning the proof coil chain, BBB anchor chain, and the high-test chain. All these chains have different capacities and they are best for different types of marine activity and you should be informed about each of them. Studying the different types of chains will make you understand the features and the high-test chains prove to be the best because of the high quality, low weight and the ability to anchor the different vessels.
Before you make a choice for the company that will supply you with this item, you should ensure that you research about them. You should go for the companies that are established and those that are known to offer the best delivery for any orders that you place. Comparing the prices of the different companies will ensure that you go for the one that sells this item at the market rate.

It's necessary to take a break once in a while. Simple breaks with coffee and cookie might not be able to break you out of your stress zone.
An effective break will charge you up. A one minute walk around the office or a refreshing hot drink can make up for your tedious work hours. Instead of sitting idle for more than one hour, take a break once in a while.
Guess what !! You can make your 5 minutes break effectively with these techniques. Read on.
Learn breathing exercises
All cells in your body need oxygen. Your brain needs a lot of energy and it's very dependent on oxygen. Inadequate oxygen flow to the brain will make you stagnant at what you're doing.
Take a five-minute break and do this breathing exercise.
Midday Yoga
Yoga is a great technique to make your mind calm and concentrate again. Overstressed? Take a 5-minute break to do the yoga at a calm and quiet place. Clear your mind from all the junks around.
Stretch muscles
Get up and stretch once in a while. Walk around the room, or around the compound. Stretch your muscles, stop staring at a screen or your regular workplace. Go around and come back in 5 minutes.
This will also increase your blood circulation and let your brain consume more oxygen, which is transported through blood.
Coffee, more of it
"When we drink coffee, caffeine binds to our brain's adenosine receptors, preventing the chemical from binding with the receptors and making us tired.
And, caffeine prevents dopamine from getting reabsorbed into your system, leaving the feel-good chemical hanging around in your brain longer."
Sounds good? Keep in mind, too much of anything is not good for you.
Eat something healthy
Pack up some fruit cuts with your lunch. Eat some healthy fruits during your break. Still, too much of them is not good. Just to feel refreshed.
Remember. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Take a power nap
A power nap might take a bit more than 5 minutes. But if you have around 20 minutes to spare, give your eyes some shut time. You can't work continuously more than 45 minutes according to science. More time you're spending at your work is not as good as it gets.
Take a gap with a nap. Come back with more energy.
A quick shower(if possible)
The afternoon is one of the least productive time of a day. I've seen people working out in the afternoon in my office. Also, if possible take a quick shower and come back. Let your brain cool down.
If you're not able to do a shower, wash your face and hands often. That'll help your nervous system.
Have anything to add to these tips? Leave it in the comments.

Fascia is a liquid crystallized matrix that covers all of our muscle, tendons, nerves, arteries, veins and organs.
Fascia is a dense continuous structure from head to toe without interruption - similar to a spider web or yarn of a sweater. When in a normal state fascia is pliable and relaxed.
Trauma caused by injury, surgery, inflammation, or chronic misuse causes fascial restrictions. Since the fascia is continuous, it is similar to a sweater snag- the snag begins to grow and creates tensile pressure.
Over time, this tensile pressure prevents movement of muscle and tissue, creating movement dysfunction and chronic pain.
The fascial tissue, when tight, creates >2,000 pounds per square inch of pressure onto structures (remember it is woven through out muscles, nerves).
Since it is connected to all structures, it must be able to move and stretch over top of muscles and joints or they get bound together. When fascia is
tight it affects our bodies flexibility, stability and therefore, impacts our ability to function.
What is myofascial decompression. Been used around the world and more widely known as Cupping.
Myofascial decompression creates negative pressure
The pressure allows the muscle to glide and slide underneath the fascial tissue to recreate movement
Traditional Cupping is static and does not re educate the muscles/joints to move within the new available range
MFD re-educates tissue, muscle, and joint through active movement and decompression (cups) to allow the compressed muscle to move freely under the
woven matrix of fascia.

– From the first cards, Chris, Man, it' obvious that your career fulfils you at all levels. It's like it doesn't matter what happens in your private life, you're able to disconnect because everything that happens on set fulfils you with every satisfaction imaginable, emotional satisfaction, professional satisfaction and you make friends for life. You are very open and love nothing more than mateship after a hard day's work. When you hesitate over stuff, you just need a day's work for the dust to settle in your head and then you can decide how things should be organised. It's like your work is your spirituality and in acting, you find the answers that apply to your life. You love Shakespeare, (I don't to be honest and Rosie says I can't appreciate it because I couldn't speak English when I was little, but then no one can speak anyway when they're just born… she's just a dumb old fart).
– Chris, Man, you've come such a flaming long way and so fast…
– Feralbulb, when will you learn?
– I use to see you on Home & Away every night after work. I don't like sitting on a couch with XXXXs so instead I used to sit on a couch and watch you on that show. Were you in it already when Kylie was around? I like it that you always had some chick pregnant didn't ya?
– T'was just an act, ROSIE! Hey, Chris, Man, I wanted to be in the bloody damned show meself but me stage training in Sydney wasn't enough.
– Feralbulb, you weren't good at acting and I'm quite certain Mr. Hemsworth isn't interested in any of this. Get straight to the point, Brother, like the good Aussies we can be. What's the question?
– What question?
– What question are you going to work on for Mr. Hemsworth? What is it you think he'll want to know from your reading?
– C'mon, Rosie, it's going to be just like for Johnny Dude and Miss Tilda, a general reading.
– I think you should focus on one particular area of their lives.
– Fuck, Rosie, I can't talk about death, diseases, drugs, prostitutes, and private juicy stuff or else you'll lose your hair, what is there left for me to talk about except but do general readings?
– Gossiping is bad. Nasty gossip is an intrusion into someone's private life that deserves capital punishment; paparazzi ought to be burnt at the stake.
– FUCK, SIS! You ever heard about 'moderation'?
– Focus about what artists do best, Feralbulb, acting in this case. And don't get so angry, will you?
– Do you trust me or not?
– I don't know. Sometimes I think that—
Haaa. Silence at last. Ok Chris, Man. Let us begin on your acting career. You were born on 11 August 1983. That makes you some Leo or some similar animal close to it. You know, I like what you make of any emotional hardship you might have suffered. You keep going. Because it's all that it is about, the 'keep going' bit. We all try and do it. But some do it best. Like you. Sorry Chris, Man. I just think you're awesome, awesome and that's an understatement. You're so rich inside. You spiritual, Man. You know things keep changing, that life is about change and you take it all in your stride, even when you're in the hollow of the wave. When things don't look good, you colour them up… you can spot the good stuff even within the deterring bad stuff, always. You like painting? You should when you can take the time… or taking photos or filming? Because I can feel you'll be behind the camera one day.
It looks like at some point in your life, you decided to let go of anything that didn't suit you, that you made a conscious choice of not letting 'life' or whatever it was that was troubling you at the time get to you. You looked down within yourself and rose from your own ashes if there's such a thing as doing that, (your unhappy circumstances then) and you keep doing this again when necessary. This is how you confront anything that frightens you: you remember the difficult times and you keep going. Good on ya, Chris, Man!
Hey, I can see you're learning on two fronts. You learn your craft – which you already do quite well – and you try and understand the people around you because deep down, some day, you'd like to manage things too, to make your own films, to be a director, just like Clint Eastwood, another of me good Men I must talk about. A flaming good example that Clint! I'll meet him one day too.
Once again, looking at where you're coming from, it feels like you had to learn the hard way. Some very meaningful even occurred that has made you who you are now, it wasn't easy at all. I'd love to talk with you about this a little more but Rosie will put a stop to this blog if I do, so all I can say and repeat is this: well done, Mate!
It feels like you need to take time in nature by yourself… that you should take walks or be active – you already are sports wise – but incorporate nature. You have cats? You love animals and maybe you could do, if you can have the time, with having dogs, cats and what not at home. Of course, you'd need to have someone look after them… one can't be foolish. Pets need time… they would do you a world of good. Maybe you can get someone to look after them when you're away for lengthy periods of time? Anyways, enjoy time in the mountains or by the sea… get on expeditions…
You're a lucky man, Chris. You are surrounded by people whose presence and company you enjoy. Let them enjoy your being present around them. Time is of the essence, I know, get a time management consultant to help organise yourself at times. What I'm trying to say is that you learn your lines and parts more easily than you think… and you can afford the time with people you enjoy.
Well, before I finish off, and it's been a bloody good fucking delight getting to know you (don't tell Rosie I said this in such a polite way), let me tell you that everything you want to do or attempt to do can be done. There are more opportunities right now for you to grab and there is no stopping you. There's this big blockbuster you're showing a great enterprising spirit for or in which you want to get involved more than as an actor but possibly as a one of the producers… go for it Mate, it's your time now (and get that time management consultant to ward off any worries you might have)… Let your inner child seize the day and do what you want because at this point in your life, the world is your oyster (I'm not saying that just because you could be me best mate, Chris, Man, but because the cards say it). O, and I see you in a movie with beasts, demons, dragons and that sort of world and you as a King ruling them all, the beasts, the people, the other Kings and even the Gods. I'd love it, that if I happen to be right, you'd get me a couple of tickets for the première of that epic movie… (hush now, don't tell sis). Very best wishes to you, Chris, Man.
– Hey, Sis! I'm finished.
– Already?
– I was good, ya know?
– Really?
– You should try it sometime.

With the Lions having a bye this weekend, there was plenty of action around local football as several Coburg representatives picked up big wins.
Starting in the Eastern Football League, Hisham Kerbatieh held his own for Doncaster East, kicking one goal in a 21-point win against Lilydale.
Adam Swierzbiolek and Jack Sandric both impressed for East Ringwood, kicking one goal each in their match. Sandric was also among his sides' better players, despite losing to Division 1 reigning premiers South Croydon by 83 points.
In the EFL reserves, Alex Mioni played his part for Norwood, kicking one goal in their 47-point win over Montrose. His efforts were also rewarded as he was listed as one of the better players on the day.
Moving over to the Northern Football League (NFL), Luke Bunker, Pete McEvoy and Sam Binion tore it up for Montmorency as they went on to beat Whittlesea by 59 points. Bunker did well in his second game back after recovering from his knee injury, while McEvoy kicked two goals. Binion booted one and was named amongst Montmorency's best.
Another trio in Michael Ercolano, Aidan Tilley and Mark Kovacevic all featured in West Preston-Lakeside's 27-point win over Greensborough, with Ercolano also named among best on ground.
Staying with the NFL, duo Josh Iacobaccio and Daman Aujla dominated for Bundoora. Despite the eight-point loss to Macleod, Iacobaccio earned himself a best on ground performance; Aujla was also named in the best after kicking one goal.
Jake Page and Heidelberg went head-to-head with North Heidelberg, with North going home 55-point winners.
Shifting over to the EDFL, it was a battle of Lions, with Tom Wallis, Lachie Mitchell and the Essendon Doutta Stars going up against Tom Condon, Logan Morey and Strathmore. It was Condon who stood out from the group however, booting two goals and being named among Strathmore's best in their 64 point win. Wallis was also named amongst the Doutta Stars' best despite the loss.
Jackson McDonald suited up for Glenroy, having a solid game despite going down to Pascoe Vale by 89 points, while Brad Bernacki kicked one goal in East Sunbury's 79-point win over Burnside Heights.
In the Ballarat Football League, Mark Orr did what he does best kicking one goal and named among Melton's best in their 73-point win over Redan.
Despite the 45-point loss to North Ballarat City, Mitch Conn and Josh Guthrie played hard for Sunbury, with Guthrie named among the best.
It was a long day out for Nick Mellington and Caroline Springs in the Western Region Football League, going down to Deer Park by 140 points. Mellington was able to kick one goal in his side's effort.
In the Southern Football League, Josh Fox did what he could for Cheltenham, going down by 75 points to a strong Mordialloc side.
Wrapping up this weekend's games, Max Mitchell-Russell and Port Melbourne Colts went down in a close seven-point finish to Bentleigh. Despite the loss, Mitchell-Russell had a day out, kicking three goals and named his sides best on ground.
A mixed bag of results for the Local Lions, plenty of exceptional performances might make team selection difficult for the coaches heading into Round 10.
Be at Windy Hill from 12pm this Sunday to see Coburg come back fresh from their bye, as they take on Essendon.

Happy unofficial beginning of summer! I, myself, prescribe to the summer solstice to fall equinox-calendar, but to each her own. While summer is notoriously a graveyard for Broadway—each year, we generally see a whole host of casualties that don't survive the Fahrenheit swells—Off Broadway, largely unaffected by calendar-year ticket sales due to short runs, has at least several palatable offerings right now. And some stinkers, as well. I mean, we always keep it real, don't we? So much to talk about, I'm dividing this post into two parts (no, it's NOT an homage to WOLF HALL).
Let me just get this off my chest before I implode—Daniel Tosh of TOSH.0 fame is coming to Brooklyn's King's Theater for a one-night-only performance. I normally think comedians who do stand-up and claim it's a Broadway or Off-Broadway event because of the venue, are really lame. Sorry, Jackie Mason. But, I'll make an exception for Tosh, mostly because I'm just sort of obsessed with him. Really, it's unhealthy. (June 27th only)
Jesse Eisenberg, who I'm pretty sure I did youth theatre with back in the good old Brunswicks of New Jersey, has written and also stars in a new play coming to 42nd Street—the theater is called the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theater—catchy, right? I'm definitely going to support a hometown boy. The plot is described as:
"Nobody likes Ben. Ben doesn't even like Ben. He's been kicked out of grad school, lives off his parents' money, and bullies everyone in his life, including his roommate Kalyan, an earnest Nepalese immigrant. When Ben discovers that his grade school crush is marrying a straight-laced banker, he sets out to destroy their relationship and win her back."
I can only wonder… did he write this (surely, he did) before the devastating earthquakes in Nepal this spring? The dramaturg in me is doing midnight rewrites RIGHT NOW in my head, to make it more relevant. (THE SPOILS opens June 2nd, closes June 28th)
I was just recommending a Neil LaBute monologue to a director friend this week, when I started catching wind of the reviews for THE WAY WE GET BY, the pithy playwright's new work at the Tony Kiser Theatre on 43rd. Apparently, it's a sleeper. So… maybe no monologues from this one. Film actress Amanda Seyfried makes her stage debut and apparently, she does a fine job. However, even some very brief Hollywood nudity can't seem to save this one. (Closing June 14th)
Chris Noth of SEX AND THE CITY and like, every other New York serial, stars as the title character in DOCTOR FAUSTUS. I applaud a Christopher Marlowe adaption—I urge students to choose selections from his work over Shakespeare if you're looking to stand out with an underdone classical monologue. I once played twin brothers in THE MASSACRE AT PARIS for the Marlowe Project. I can only imagine, in this production, that while Andrei Belgrader is credited as director, Mr. Noth had "a whole lot of opinions". And that's all I'll say. (Classic Stage Company, previews June 2nd and runs for about a day and a half)
What can I say about the HAND TO GOD playwright's new Off B'Way piece PERMISSION, other than it stars Justin Bartha, who is my old 10th Floor neighbor from the NYU dorm on 5th & 10th, my current neighbor on West 13th, and I just adore him. The play… well… here's the description:
"Eric and Cyndy are looking for some direction. They've decided to follow the lead of their friends Zach and Shelley and make the real life practice of Christian Domestic Discipline the foundation of their marriage. But restructuring their lives and their union according to role play and a new moral code upends everything they knew–and took for granted–about one another, their friends, and more importantly, who really holds the power." (Lucille Lortel, closing June 14th)
Sweet, sweet Jason Ritter comes home to Atlantic Theatre Company to Stage 2 for MAMET GHOST STORIES (I remember when he was studying there in my roomie Maja's class). What a great guy! And I love ghost stories. Director Scott Zigler better bring it (Reviewers can be scary, too). (Previews May 27th)

Crisp fall weather helped to keep the chill on tens of thousands of raw oysters as the 35th annual Oyster Festival kicked off at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay on Saturday, October 13th!
Exceedingly large crowds flooded the streets of Oyster Bay to shuck and slurp their way through bucket-loads of bivalves (and so much more) during this HUGE and long-enduring celebration of the humble oyster - without a doubt, the East Coast's largest waterfront festival.
The two-day Oyster Festival (which is a project of the Oyster Bay Rotary Club and funded by the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund) offered a fun mixture of family-friendly new activities AND old favorites that included live entertainment, ships, top-notch artisans, pirate shows, midway rides, and an iconic oyster eating and shucking contest.
The Food Court was the headlining act, where volunteer chefs and culinary pros worked side by side, cooking and serving dozens of unique oyster, clam and other seafood concoctions along with traditional festival fare.
Profits from all FOOD COURT sales directly supported 25 participating local charities while proceeds from carnival rides and merchandise sales will be donated to additional charities supported by the Rotary throughout the year.
As usual, Living Huntington was on the scene - and we happen to have brought back a few tasteful photos from the delicious goings-on :-)

If you ask any design professionals about the essential components of a design scheme, most will point towards window dressings as one of the key areas of any design scheme. Even more frequent will be the recommendation to use blinds as a focal point or supporting element to any design scheme. Since it is the experts expressing support for the use of blinds, it makes sense to learn a bit more about them. Let's look at 8 major reasons you will want to include blinds in a new or redecorating plan.
- They are incredibly diverse and flexible – The style options for blinds are surprisingly diverse. You can elect to use roller, Venetian, Roman, vertical and other types of blinds. They can be made of soft fabrics and hard wood. They can feature shutters or provide coordinating prints and colours. They can even be a statement or accent, such as a large window fitted with vertical or shutter style blinds.
- They ensure privacy – Even homes in the most exposed spaces can enjoy optimal privacy when blinds are an option. They can completely seal the window and yet can also be opened when privacy issues are not a major concern.
- They are equal parts design and function – There are not many elements in a design scheme that can uphold form and function, but blinds can. They can supply a solution to any sort of window dressing requirement, including oversized windows, sliding doors, and more. Yet, they are also an integral part of the overall scheme.
- They are easy to maintain – It goes without saying that anything that can help reduce household chores is of interest, and the use of this sort of window dressing makes it easier than ever to keep the home tidy.
- They are more affordable over the long-term – Installed infrequently, they allow you a decorative accent that can remain in place for years, or even decades without upgrades or replacement.
- They add value to any property – They remain in place when you depart, and can be an added value in any sort of home or premises.
- They support energy efficiency – They are some of the most effective solutions for blocking sunlight or trapping conditioned air within a home. Keep the interior living spaces cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter far more easily when you have such impervious window dressings in place.
- They can be automated – Like so many other areas of the modern home, you will find that you have options for automation where blinds are concerned. You can operate them from switches or remotes, and it won't be long before you can open or close them using a convenient app on a mobile!
These are but a few reasons that blinds are a perfect solution and "must" in a design scheme. At TLC Blinds you can get a completely custom solution to your window dressing needs and enjoy the many benefits of blinds.

The Minister of Basic Education, Unity Dow, on Monday ducked taking responsibility for the poor 2016 JCE results, claiming that "in the absence of an in-depth research into the root cause, we cannot certainly pin point a singular cause for this". Instead Dow suggests that a tracer study of the candidates' progress from PSLE can help understand if pupils improve or become poorer as they transit from primary to secondary. "Are we accepting into the mainstream, pupils who should otherwise be receiving specialised education? Has automatic progression had an impact in that pupils proceed to the next stage before having mastered the one they are currently in? What are the influencing social factors on the subject choice of young people and how does it affect the way they perform in the examinations," she asks. But Dow's proposition and questions are a wild shot in the dark as her ministry has been conducting investigations every year to establish the cause of poor performance by candidates. The Patriot on Sunday is reliably informed that such studies have been completed but the reports, with far-reaching recommendations, are gathering dust at the ministry headquarters. Dow's ministry has also introduced automatic progression from primary to secondary school. Educationists have expressed shock that in her attempt to apportion blame Dow suggests that "social factors" influence choice of subjects by learners when those are prescribed by her ministry.
In 2016, 271 students attained an overall grade of A from a total number of 41 464 candidates who sat for the JCE compared 197 out of 41 938 in 2015. Cumulatively the total number of candidates who obtained a grade C or better is 32.54% against 33.4 %in 2015, a decline of 0.87%. Dow conceded that there is a gap in the JCE results, which demonstrated a disturbing consistency in the 30 -35% range. Absolving her ministry from blame Dow said it takes a collective effort of the parents, the community leaders, the teachers, the trade unions and the students themselves. She said the MoE is committed to offering the necessary support to all schools across the country to achieve better results, but reiterated that they cannot do it alone. "We all have a role to play". Nanogang JSS obtained 73.9% pass mark to scoop first position nationally in the 2016 Junior Certificate Examinations, the second year in a row that the school has outperformed others. It is followed closely by Orapa JSS with 72.1% and in third position is Makhubu Junior Secondary School with 68.6%. Last year Nanogang scored 83%. In fact all the top 15 schools are based in urban centres, a point teacher trade unions are harping on as demonstration for unequal distribution of resources between schools in rural areas and towns. Among other impediments in instruction delivery they point to ballooned class sizes, unavailability of basic teaching and learning resources in schools in the form of exercise books, notebooks and textbooks, unavailability of food and reduced contact time between teachers and students due to the unresolved disputes over hours of work.
Jeffrey D. Sachs – Special Adviser to the UN Secretary General on the Sustainable Development Goals –also observes in the Global Education Monitoring Report 2016 that there are remarkable gaps in educational attainment between rich and poor, within and between countries, which are simply appalling. "In many poor countries, poor children face nearly insurmountable obstacles under current conditions. They lack books at home; have no opportunity for pre-primary school; and enter facilities without electricity, water, hygiene, qualified teachers, textbooks and the other appurtenances of a basic education, much less a quality education. The implications are staggering," notes Sachs, adding that while SDG 4 calls for universal completion of upper secondary education by 2030, the current completion rate in low-income countries is a meagre 14%. Dow also concedes that resources, unsatisfactory remuneration and conditions of work will always be contributory factors to poor results but counters that Botswana has come from far more dire situations in the past. She then calls for change of attitudes positively to attain positive results.
The Grading system
Although some suggest that students are failed by the grading system used, there are strong arguments that MoE should keep the current criterion referencing grading system instead of reverting to the old norm reference testing (NRT), because it places emphasis on quality over quantity. Psychometrics expert, Seji Wale, said the ongoing debate on whether students have passed or not is largely due to unnecessary confusion occasioned by instrument invalidity by people who lack understanding of basic psychometric principles at MoE and Botswana Examination Council (BEC). He argues that the system used is not Criterion-Reference-Testing (CRT). "In fact, even if you need to do CRT it can never work in obsolescence. Education systems that are advanced blend the two because the instruments are not meant to fail but assess performance objectives. Pecking learners against their weaknesses as measurement defeats reason for assessment and that's what the new system does. The implementers don't even know the system themselves. For the first time they agree with my 6-year-old assertion, which I made before the first results were out that a lot of the D are good passes. A student on 80% average can get Merit at the expense of a student who gets 95% average but scores a B in English, Maths, Setswana or Science. The old system was more CRT because it assigned a raw score to attributes of educational behaviours as compares to bulking up learners in a B group as if they were on a salary scale. Our cognisance of CRT, NRT, the concept of Testing & Measurement as well as assessment instruments validity and reliability should form cornerstones to this debate," said Wale, adding that blaming teachers for the failures is an insult to the profession.
A teacher's perspective
Defining the role of teachers and schools in education, a veteran teacher who preferred anonymity, called for strategic partnerships with the education sector to foster shared accountability in development of learners. She said teachers and schools have an important role to play towards learning capabilities of students. Their roles include promoting active learning, developing thinking skills, creating effective learning zones, promoting success, providing effective feedback, recognising and creating learning windows, developing good relationships, developing learning pedagogy, enhancing motivation and accepting individual differences, she explained. She said academic excellence can be attributed to different factors among them self-discipline and will power, which play a decisive role to every student who wishes to succeed academically. "Therefore, students with no self-discipline would often get distracted from their studies," she adds. Other factors she mentions are parental involvement and support, which contributes largely to student academic success; and school culture where students, parents, teachers, administrators and other staff members all contribute to their school's culture, as do other influences such as the community in which the school is located, the policies that govern how it operates.

Join us for our next outreach event!
As our program or our lab conducts outreach events I will post stills on this page. Below these I will start posting any educational worksheets or supplements that are free to use by all. Follow all of our outreach events on the calendar as well. This calendar includes events and bird-related trips that are not strictly outreach as well. These sometimes include other University of Missouri events and Audubon Society events.
Follow the link below to play games and visit educational websites. These are not restricted to birds or dinosaurs, they are universal across not only science, but education.
Dinosaurs and Cavemen: Spring Semesters
During the second week and weekend of March every year Integrative Anatomy, Geology, Anthropology, Raptor Rehab, and the School of Natural Resources put on a large scale traveling museum with Columbia Public Schools at Rockbridge High School in southern Columbia, Missouri.
Citizen Science: Always
Citizen science is conducted every day by people all over the world. When people without formal/traditional training in science participate in collecting and
analyzing data, it makes the study of nature more personal, and people tend to take more stock in the results when they are personal. Because no rigorous training is required people sometimes
balk at the validity of citizen organized science, but the data generated by non-scientists is carefully examined. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in scientific data
collection, getting to know people in a field you are interested in, and willing to volunteer your time, please check out my area on citizen-based science.
Traveling Pop-up Museums: By Appointment
Our labs and the department as a whole entity are willing to pack up and bring a small portion of our outreach materials to museums and classrooms. This is not something we do commonly, but we enjoy outreach and bringing science to as many people as possible, so we are willing to do this within a reasonable travel radius. If someone you know is interested in our traveling museums, please send me an email or leave me a comment and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
Soaring Into Science: Fall Semesters
Soaring Into Science is a University of Missouri Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics exposition that is held yearly at Columbia Public Schools to introduce all levels of students to a vast array of different sciences and technologies that are researched at the university.
Internet Based Science Lessons and Outreach: Always Available
I have always been available for distance outreach using Skype or Facebook and Twitter. This year we have attempted, as a department to make this available, but it has taken more time than we would have liked because of the logistics of a larger scale program. Anyone interested in online science outreach should contact me here, or the Integrative Anatomy Student Association on our webpage.
