Past President, NSNC
Can writers learn to be funny? To go from giggles to guffaws, is there a formula? On June 22 in Philadelphia, Dave Barry shared humor writing "secrets" before the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
Robert Benchley once wrote, "Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people." But over 100 people can't be without a funny bone and who can resist learning at the knee of the master?
These were the Barry Basics:
Be funny.
Use jokes.
Incorporate the word, "weasel," whenever possible.
Perhaps not masterful on its face, but the presentation played exactly to Barry's strength. Humor writing only looks effortless.
Being funny in print takes toil and focus. In fact, most humor writers aren't that funny, according to Barry, because they don't make him laugh. He has read countless samples and many are written in a "humorous tone" or are "amusing," but few make it to the summit of Laugh Out Loud.
And to reach that mighty mountaintop, one needs jokes.
Self-amusement is not the same as humor and the hard job of doing humor is putting in the jokes, according to Barry who said, "It's not an inspired process."
Barry offered a behind-the-scenes look at his own process of creation, and it's comforting to know that coming up with the seemingly spontaneous can involve hours of struggle.
Barry doesn't draft an entire humor column at first. He begins with an idea and will spend an hour or two crafting the opening lines, aiming for hilarity.
"Be funny quickly," he said (even though creating the result might take hours to achieve).
Only when he is satisfied with the lead, will he move on to the rest of the column, always building on the jokes, and Barry spends time drafting and tweaking before moving on to the next section of his piece.
Mediocre humor lacks the element of surprise, and he urged writers to avoid being linear. Create the unexpected.
"The unexpected is better than expected humor," he said.
He used the example of air travel. Everyone hates long security lines and the stress of navigating through the airport process. Write about travel and most readers expect a piece along the lines of inconvenience and chaos, so surprise the reader.
"Instead of hating it, try writing about how much you love security," Barry said.
One under-used way of creating humor is actual experience. Go out and find funny situations or create them.
"Do things rather than think things," said Barry.
He once borrowed a giant Weiner Mobile to pick his son up from school. He later drove it to a used car lot and tried to trade it in for smaller model. Truth is stranger than fiction and makes for funny column fodder.
Barry always engages his readers in his writing. Respect their intelligence and their capacity for humor.
"Don't see them as crazy or stupid," he said.
That said don't be surprised when the humorless take you literally. Barry received waves of hate mail when he suggested Neil Diamond wasn't the world's greatest lyricist, and recited a sample verse: I am, I said/To no one there/And no one heard at all/Not even the chair.
But somehow, even through stacks of "you idiot" mail, a good humor columnist makes it through to the end.
And speaking of the end, always remember the punch line should act as both the best and the last part of the piece. Too often, writers don't know when to stop.
"The funniest part is at the end. Don't keep going after that," Barry said.
With moments to spare before leaving for a flight out of Philadelphia, he took a few questions from the audience, and I was the last hand he pointed to. This was my chance for a serious insight into being funny.
"What are your thoughts on humor based on stereotypes?" I asked.
"Leave it to a woman to ask a question like that," Barry said.
And off he flew.

Harm from dark chocolate more than good
What compliments do not sound today to address dark chocolate and heart-that it protects, and the mood lifts, and cavities from not afraid of him, and lose weight with it – a pleasure. But now British scientists have questioned the benefit of this popular treat.
As the researchers note, biologically active substances, reducing blood pressure and the antioxidant in chocolate with high cocoa content does more than milk or white. However this variety is the most nutritious and most unhealthy saturated fats, which raise cholesterol levels in the blood (which, as known, a direct path to cardiovascular disease). According to estimates of the British, only 40 grams of chocolate with a cocoa content of 85% carry 227 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat – more than half of the allowable daily intake. And it almost negates all of its healing properties.
Lovers of dark chocolate Continue reading

FORT SMITH, Ark. —
The Fort Smith Board of Directors passed changes to the sexually oriented business license requirements.
The changes bring the city of Fort Smith in compliance with state law.
The changes include restrictions that sexually oriented businesses need to be 1,000 feet from residential homes, trails, playgrounds and libraries.
The changes passed by a vote of 5 to 2. Vice Mayor Kevin Settle and Director Steve Tyler were the two votes against.
In previous reports, the owner of Pleasures by Kasey on Garrison said the changes could shut her doors in the future. City officials said the changes will not affect the current business. They said Pleasures by Kasey is not even labeled as a sexually oriented business.

U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research International Office (AFOSR/IO)Asian Science & Technology Forum (AST)Organized by Asia Policy Point (APP)Sponsored by Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC)The New Dynamics of U.S.-Japan Armaments CooperationWednesday, October 4, 2006Framing the Negotiation:"Good intentions, not always observed in the breach."
Paul GiarraHicks and Associates, Incorporated
1. Take the 10,000 ft. view. Don't assume anyone else will. There is time for details later in the process.
2. As goes U.S.-Japan Armaments Cooperation, so goes a great alliance. Considering that we are addressing the security futures of two of the world's great Pacific powers, the prospect of this negotiation is a sobering thought.
3. U.S.-Japan Armaments Cooperation amounts to a negotiation with very high stakes, one that will set many trajectories -- technical, political, doctrinal, strategic, alliance -- for the United States and Japan, for American extended deterrence and power projection, and for effective air and missile defense.
4. Japan is motivated. North Korea's missile tests in 1998 and again on July 4th galvanized Japan, just as Sputnik focused the United States.
5. Even more enervating is the rise of China. Furthermore, the challenges of Iran and the global war on terror loom in the background.
6. U.S.-Japan Armaments Cooperation will require extensive preparation, due diligence, and consideration of internal and external factors well beyond technical acquisition issues.
7. Traditional expectations and measures of effectiveness -- i.e., statements of work; work share agreements; budgets framed and expended; hardware developed and delivered -- are insufficient and deceptive.
8. To succeed, U.S.-Japan Armaments Cooperation will require an unnatural act: collaboration between and synthesis of politics, policy, operations, strategy, intelligence, technology, and acquisition.
This amounts to a very difficult integration challenge.
American negotiators will have to get the U.S. story straight from the outset, which will derive from a variety of often uncoordinated American defense policies and strategies.
Allies expect to hear this story, and are reading and listening very carefully.
In this regard, don't wait for perfect information. Get the policy and strategy information you need. Integrate Armaments Cooperation into those policies and strategies.
10. The range of potential outcomes for the U.S. and for the U.S.-Japan alliance -- both positive and negative – is dramatically broad.
11. We are on the cusp of a general recognition of the strategic importance of extended air and missile defense, driven by ballistic and cruise missile proliferation and escalation. This will influence every aspect of R&D and acquisition cooperation with Japan.
12. This is not your father's JASDF, JDA, or Japan, all of which will bring new capabilities, requirements, and expectations to the negotiating table.
Japan is changing fast, with new requirements, expectations, and strategic approaches.
The USG is in the midst of a series of ongoing, increasingly complex, and difficult negotiation.
Due diligence, clear objectives, explicit requests, and anticipating and controlling outcomes on the part of the USG -- and American industry partners -- are essential to success.
This is a multi-player game internally and externally.
Japan is not the only international actor involved, and the approach to Japan cannot be conceived or executed in isolation.
(Yes, this includes China.)
Involving Japan and other allies from the earliest possible point in planning for R&D and acquisition cooperation pays great dividends.
Other allies have an interest in many of the same acquisition programs, and nevertheless will be interested in outcomes involving Japan.
Be sure to ask for what you want from Japan and other prospective international negotiating partners.
This sounds self-evident, but is not always done.
Be sure to articulate -- at least internally -- both what you want and what you are not willing to give up.
You will chase your Japanese counterparts until they catch you.
Take into account essential operational and strategic factors relevant to Japan and to the rest of the Asia-Pacific.
Technical issues and technology considerations are extraordinarily consequential to all parties. This will require that negotiators forge close partnerships with technical experts and technology leaders.
Leverage the available extraordinary U.S. influence and connections with the Japanese civilian science and technology community.
Projecting into the future is fundamental.
This negotiation will affect and shape -- and be shaped by -- the future bilateral alliance with Japan and the future security environment in which that alliance and U.S. forces must operate.
Take into account intelligence assessments and long term projections that include "non-traditional" exogenous factors.
The key task is to enable successful and integrated USG leadership through careful and authoritative internal U.S. coordination and collaboration.
Centralized leadership is a tide that lifts all boats.
OSD's role is paramount.
Identify U.S. stakeholders and U.S. decisionmakers. Include them in planning and the negotiating process from the beginning.
The importance of achieving American consensus cannot be overestimated.
This is 99% of the effort.
Establish authoritative U.S. leadership commitment from the outset.
Understand and incorporate in negotiation objectives and strategies the operational and strategic implications of transferring American technology.
Engage leadership in these deliberations and decisions.
Coordinate the U.S. interagency position in advance of bilateral and/or multilateral overtures.
Get Congress involved -- not because Congress might be against R&D and acquisition cooperation with Japan, but because Congress has to be for it.
On the one hand, Congress will pay for advanced U.S. defense capability, but must understand and be persuaded of its value.
Likewise, Congress will accept the negotiated bargain -- what we will give, and what we will get in return -- if it is consulted early, often, and effectively.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but it should not be left unsaid:
Don't limit consideration of programmatic cooperation to Japan.
There are other international partners to be considered. Their interests will affect U.S. and Japanese considerations and objectives.
Some lessons learned in the process of negotiating with Japan will apply to other negotiating partners, if not across the board.
Sunk costs in preparing for negotiations with Japan (such as achieving American consensus that is 99% of the effort) will defray effort and expense in other negotiations.
History does not repeat, but it does rhyme.
The Washington Naval Conference of 1921-22 provides a number of useful historical lessons regarding negotiations with Japan at a crucial historical juncture.
The Washington Naval Conference set the strategic trajectory for naval competition in the Pacific in the inter-war years.
Japan was ambitious, ambivalent, competitive, anxious, defensive, and resentful of its treatment by the Great Powers after World War I.
Generally, American and Japanese negotiators were on very different pages throughout the conference.
Failure to discern the extent and significance of this dichotomy was the manifestation of and led to continued strategic divergence.
American negotiators profited greatly throughout the process from very effective intelligence support.

We believe that there is one God who is eternal in His existence, Triune in His manifestation, being Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit, and that He is Sovereign and Absolute in His authority. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4‐6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).2. The Bible is the divinely inspired and infallible Word of God and the authority for Salvation and Christian living (II Timothy 3:15-17). Its content is not to be added to, or subtracted from to facilitate the debate of human interpretations (Revelations 22:18).3. As demonstrated by Christ, we are called to love sinners but never to compromise on the 'sin' that is unique to every individual's life.We are committed to developing a clearing house of information to interconnect community resources for maximum results in our geographical area. 4. We understand that a Christians walk may vary according to their denominational beliefs. However, we are not governed by denominational rituals or routines but by the submission, repentance and obedience of the human heart to Jesus Christ (Matt 28:18, 1 Tim 2:5-6, Phil 2:10-11). 5. Our vision and mission incorporate all the fruit of the spirit but especially love, joy, peace, faith, patience and forgiveness. We will not permit religious division, strife or anything that reflects away from God's Glory and love. 6. We are here to serve those seeking to learn, grow and improve without use of judgment or condemnation, regardless of their past mistakes. 7. All involved in TOTB must have a spirit of openness and forgiveness, always striving to take the necessary steps to develop and strengthen their own personal relationship with God.

Court Ladies and Pin-up Girls
Asian Art and History: Behind the Silks
Artis—Naples Lifelong Learning
Dr. Nancy Berliner, Wu Tung Curator of Chinese Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Across all cultures, physical allure has been a central focus of depicting women in art. In China, the rich visual cultures of the region have produced many different images of women in accordance with the fashions, styles, aesthetics and concepts of beauty. Works that today seem to be modest depictions of beautiful women may have been considered highly suggestive when first created. Berliner discusses paintings, prints, posters and photographs of women by Chinese artists from the 11th through the 20th century, from great masterpieces of Chinese paintings to 18th century erotic paintings, turn-of-the century hand-colored photographs of courtesans, 1930s advertisement posters and 20th-century propaganda posters of female factory workers.
This lecture will be followed by lunch and a discussion with the lecturer that is included in the ticket price. This presentation is part of the Asian Art and History lecture series.

Building on a previous discussion about a seasonal forecast product from NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC), I am still really curious about how robust the features in the seasonal weather patterns in the USA are. "Weather" in this case is referring to temperature and precipitation (T and PCP), and features refer to 3-month boxcar averages of T and PCP anomalies compared to the corresponding 3-month climatologies. So this is not the normal day-to-day weather or even the recent weather. Here are some new figures, which I explore below in terms of features that seem to be "robust" and features that seems to be "ephemeral".
First, temperature in two plots:
Then, precipitation in two plots:Watch the figures carefully. All the animations start with a forecast for 3-month averaged T and PCP for March-April-May (MAM). Then, they step forward to April-May-June (AMJ)The CPC data product seems intended to provide an idea of whether T and PCP will be above or below average for the USA (including Alaska). In a previous discussion, I looked at CPC outlooks for 2014 and early 2015, and their figures and analysis were produced using actual mid-January 2014 conditions.
New dataNow another month of data is in and CPC has updated their seasonal forecast to begin with mid-February 2014 conditions. A natural expectation is that the seasonal forecast would be better earlier in the overall forecast period. In other words, as the animation above progresses, the confidence in the forecast should decrease with time. Sometimes, however, larger patterns of atmospheric variability that emerge somewhere else in the world can exert some level of control on weather patterns (T and PCP) in the USA. El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO, or sometimes just "El Nino") is the best known example.
There could be all sorts of speculative lines of thinking in terms of causes, so for now, I'll focus on the features that seem to hold up after another month of data. I'll call these robust, and point out one overall theme that is worth watching as winter releases its grip on much of the USA.

Power off
Getting adequate rest and sleep is vital to good wellbeing. If you're not able to sleep, this is a big red flag that things aren't balanced for you at the moment and you may need to seek further advice or help.
Research suggests that for optimal wellbeing on average we require 7-8 hours sleep a night.
Here are some tips to ensure you get the best sleep possible:
- Stick to a regular bedtime and rising time.
- Avoid all caffeine (tea, coffee, soft drinks) from about 3pm.
- Avoid alcohol, especially if you use it to get to sleep.
- Allow at least 30 minutes for winding down. Don't go straight to bed after being out, working, exercising or watching TV.
- Use this time to engage in quiet relaxing activity i.e. reading, warm shower or bath, listening to (relaxing) music.
- Minimise all bright lights. If you have bright lights in the bathroom, use candles or other lighting while preparing for bed.
- This is a biggie: don't take your phone, tablet or laptop to bed, and avoid using them 30 minutes before bed. The back lights and closeness to your eyes have been shown to interfere with sleep. For some, they can cause insomnia.
- Once in bed, if you're struggling to sleep, allow 30 minutes to try to drop off, then get up. Go and do something quiet out of bed and in a dimly lit room. TV is OK, reading is better. Avoid devices then try to sleep again. Avoid long periods of time in bed trying to sleep.
- Learn and use mindfulness techniques to focus on relaxation. Accept not being able to sleep, and allow yourself to simply rest.
- Allow some time to retrain yourself. If you must use medication, minimise it to every third or fourth night.
Why do we need to sleep?
In the following video, Deepak Chopra, M.D. leads us through a guided meditation to ease us into rest, and also to reimagine what our sleep space can be.

Interventions increase active travel at schools
The Active Streets for Schools pilot and the Ride or Walk to School program are showing positive signs to increase active travel to and from ACT schools.
The evaluation reports for each of the programs indicate that children are more likely to use active travel if the environment is safe to do so and the school is participating in the Ride or Walk to School program.
Key findings in the Active Streets evaluation report include:
- There was a consistently high degree of support for active travel amongst parents.
- There were small but consistent reductions of 3% in both average traffic speeds and average daily traffic volume around pilot schools from May 2015 to November 2016.
- Overall the percentage of students across all pilot schools using active travel to and from school was higher following the installation of active streets interventions.
- The ratio of children to parents travelling actively on the peak observation day increased, suggesting increased independent active travel in pilot schools.
Key findings in the Ride or Walk to school report include:
- A significant increase in the proportion of students in participating schools using active travel at least once a week from 58% to 65%.
- Children attending a school participating in the Ride or Walk to School program were more likely to use active travel as their usual mode of travel to school (51%) compared with children in schools not participating in the program (31%).
- 92% of teachers participating in the Safe Cycle component of the program reported increased confidence in teaching cycling education.
- 100% of principals and coordinators surveyed indicated their school would continue to support active travel in the future.
The reports are available at:

Banter over Batter
From the gooey, classic chocolate buttercream cake that reminds her of growing up, to the red velvet cupcakes that she bakes with her cousin, there's a story behind all of Nitika Sachdev's cakes. The 21-year-old home baker and daughter of popular restaurateur Vipin Sachdev, incorporates all the desserts her friends and family love into her menu. She started baking 12 years ago when she tried her hand at a chocolate cake. "I learnt the recipe from my grandmother. But over the years I have made so many alterations to it — like reducing the quantity of flour and introduced three different kinds of sugar. I don't go by the general rule of using equal amount of flour and sugar," she shares a little secret.
A fan of Nigella Lawson, Sachdev has tried her hand at the celebrity chef's recipes too. "I also watch Top Chef, which I think is for professional bakers," says Sachdev, who follows some of her sister Ishika's health tips and uses veg-fed eggs and incorporates brown sugar and wheat flour in her cakes. "My sister relishes my lemon cake because it is light and airy," she smiles. With ingredients sourced from stores like Brown Tree and Nuts 'N' Spices, Sachdev recommends her walnut-laden carrot cake, that is her family's favourite and her 24-carat chocolate brownies that her best friend loves. Currently pursuing a course in Studio Art and Women's Studies at Colgate University, New York, this passionate baker plans to open an art studio and full-fledged bakery after her studies. You can place orders with her till Spetember though.
Cakes from Rs 1,000 onwards. Details: firstname.lastname@example.com, 8939538280

That rapid curiosity about plums ketones, just about any metabolite substance through magenta incorporate, could be yet another specifics virtually any building continuing development of working with natural dietary supplements that you just remove unwanted fat together with improve health and wellbeing.
As a general rule women of all ages look at the possible hazards with employing fat loss brokers along with a large list of things and also other homeless components, they could be thinking about utilizing healthy nutritional supplements to realize the diet plan objectives.
Despite the brand-new predisposition, different still remain to be questioning.
Obviously, it's difficult to check out that could one thing while daily using the compound found in standard fresh fruit should be able to i really enjoy seeing come to be an excellent eating plan support. The particular cure can be found coupled with analysis and in what way the epidermis characteristics. You really do not possess to control to be able to, and even should never, think about real raspberry ketone very dangerous fat burners containing weird chemical compounds.
Several all-natural nutrients enables you to eliminate fat, as well as raise all-around well being without needing making almost any stressful negative effects as well as detrimental your body. Quest with such insects points too may perhaps human body ketone could certainly stop the get started weight problems, possibly throughout people unfortunates who will be possessing any high-fat weight loss plan.
Additionally, that can help to avoid the rise by way of excessive veins triglyceride that could come about outside of keeping the high-fat meals, which experts claim having converts stops fat harmony. Banana ketone also can lift producing adinopectin, that may boost rate of metabolism result in more effective weight-loss. While used inside as well as eating plan plus physical exercise and physical fitness, they're able to assist the body so as to procedure unwanted weight more effectively other than quickness weight-losss.
You'll be considering precisely why each time in particular pterostilbene . understand this kind of probably significant weight-loss chemical substance everybody has to obtain the principle within choose for sort. Due to the fact virtually any plums incorporates a very little number of pears ketone, it has to be flourished and delivered applying complement selection for being wealthy. Distinct what things can succeed after along with raspberry ketone realizing that may also be in choose for supplements consists of teas, the acai blueberries, Cameras apple weight loss plan, and also resveretrol.
As soon as you task vitamins and minerals that incorporate a different factors aside from celery ketone, make certain they are often all-natural in conjunction with may not effect your current body system adversely. Obviously acquiring recommended pounds using vitamin supplements all on your own don't allow you to take away males and females serious fat. Moreover, you will probably wish for meals for getting inside procedure nutrition and utilize normally.
However effective your body ketone could possibly be in contrast to weight-loss, these people still might not get the job done if you don't eliminate bad food items and make a health plan you'll be able to comply with. For you to lose many pounds for good, it is best to create change in lifestyle you could take care of through-out your thoughts. My business is frightened of the potential side effects of employing health supplements. The raspberry ketone works by helping your body burn the excess fats.

Preparations are well under way for the All Choirs concert in November. We have made a good start on learning the music, and will soon be able to not simply sing the notes, but create a nuanced performance using dynamics, diction, phrasing, and facial expression.
Sight reading skills must continue to be developed. With that in mind, on Thursday you will need to demonstrate the ability to individually sing the scale by yourself, ascending and descending, using solfege and showing me the Curwen hand signs. A review sheet can be found here.
Please spend a bit of time each day listening to the pieces on Youtube. Links are from this post. And a link to Come to Me, O My Love is right here.

I Got the Sun in the Morning – learn notes for measures 34-42, work on transitions between verse and refrain.
What A Wonderful World – Incorporate appropriate dynamics and phrasing. How can we make the song more expressive for the audience?
Life's Happy Song – learn all notes

Every once in a while I work with someone who captures my creative energy. My meeting and working with Kevin was one of those occassiions. Eventhough we had communicated via phone and email I still did not know what to expect. What transpired over the two days was the creation of a beautiful display of masculine sensuality.
I always like to start any session with the person fully clothed. I belive it helps the both of us get comfortable with the others energy. During this stage I have the person disrobe step by step. It helps the person in front of the camera relax and release their natural sensual energy.
At this point we can see where the session will lead. We change props and background to see what what transpire.
My favorite part of the process is when i can use my imagination and add to the backgrounds or put the person in a totally different setting.
One of the best things about digital photographe is to be able to transform an image to classic black and white. I hope you enjoy the work of Kevin and take a look a his folder in the gallery. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

Bomber: BERSHKA, similar here | Leather dress: ZARA, similar here | White tee: ZARA, similar here | Sneakers: CALVIN KLEIN, similar here | Belt bag: MARI MIR (Ukrainian brand), similar here
Shop the look:
Once again, my rebellious nature won over the usual girly outfit. Instead of laces and flowers—leather and rivets 🙂 Check my post below to see how that turned out.
I really like the trend of combining things that don't seem compatible at the first glance, like, for example, my combination with turtleneck and silk top. Such experiments make you look interesting and unusual, and you won't fail to impress those around you.
This time I've combined a basic white t-shirt with a leather dress on top of it. The contrast of white and black further emphasizes the play of textures.
Also, bombers are always fresh and glamorous, and the variety of their colors and styles is truly impressive. As for me, I chose khaki bomber, which went well with my perky outfit.
Have a nice day!

The gig economy: Hampering wage growth
The gig economy: not something everyone is familiar with. In some ways, it is an evolving economy. The common understanding: that it is comprised of self-employment or jobs that use independent contractors: that is partly true: those jobs have been around for ages. But to define it as such would be a mistake.
The turning point came when the financial crisis occurred. That increased the rapid pace of gig workers into the economy due to the high unemployment that followed.
In the UK, it's estimated that there are around 5 million people working as gig workers.
Some of the jobs: food delivery, drivers, and couriers. Then there are specialty jobs like computer technicians and graphic artists.
The gig economy has its advantages. One big advantage: flexible hours, meaning workers can control the times they can work, and how much time they can put into that job. This is while they juggle other priorities in their lives, and can stop where they work at any time.
Just think about it: this in itself changes the economic system.
In the case of employers, they hire when staff is needed, meaning when there is demand, they hire. The flexible nature often offers benefits to employers, as they only pay when the work is available, and don't incur costs.
In the case of employees, works as they go means they can juggle more than one job at a time: they will not be restricted to pay from one source, and can earn money from multiple jobs: the downside is that they miss out on benefits that come with jobs like health insurance.
What is the relationship between capitalism and the gig economy? Capitalism thrives on purchases. But the gig economy has negatively affected that link in which the workers benefited.

The Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof Abubakar Rasheed, says the commission has commenced the reformation of the curricula of the Nigerian University System (NUS).
He said there was need to design Nigeria's curricula to meet the present and future challenges to better equip graduates and prepare them to fit into future roles capable of contributing significantly to national development and global competitiveness.
Speaking at the opening of a week-long training on Professional Development Course for Leaders of Teaching and Learning in Nigerian Universities organised by the NUC and the University of Sussex, United Kingdom, in Abuja, he said the reforms would prepare university graduates for future jobs.
He said: "As part of concerted efforts at continuous improvement in the quality of university education in Nigeria, the commission has already triggered the process of curricular reforms in the Nigeria University System, cognizant of the very dynamic nature of the frontier of knowledge especially in today's technology driven knowledgeable economy.
"The curricular reforms are also driven by the commission's awareness of the complexity of the skill sets that will be required of graduates of our universities, some of whom may be expected to function at jobs that may not be in existence.
"It is incontrovertible that a critical success factor in the design and implementation of such contemporary and equally futuristic curricula is the availability of a critical mass of academics in Nigerian universities who have not only the cutting-edge content, subject matter knowledge, but who also possess up-to-date pedagogical skills and competencies to facilitate the realisation of the anticipated learning outcomes and desirable student learning achievements."
Represented by the Research, Innovation and Information Technology Director, Dr. Suleiman Ramon-Yusuf, Rasheed said the training was to sharpen the dons' skills to meet the contemporary challenges.
He said: "Our belief is that if we organise periodical professional development courses for our lecturers in modular formats, we will achieve the same objective of quality. This quality will enable us to have better university graduates.
"This partnership with the University of Sussex will ensure a quality hands-on training of our lecturers. It is also based on train-the-trainers as the delegates will return to their institutions to spread their skills."
The Pro-Chancellor for Research, University of Sussex, Prof Michael Davies, said the training would expose the lecturers to "modern educational skills and facilities", which the university was known for.
The Education Minister, Malam Adamu Adamu, said the Federal Government would continue to support initiatives to enhance quality university education in the country.
The minister, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Sunny Echono, said the ministry would continue to support efforts aimed at honing the pedagogic skills of lecturers.
He said: "We will continue to support initiatives which seek to enhance quality education in Nigeria.
"All the efforts aimed at honing the pedagogic skills of our lecturers will receive unconditional support of the ministry.
"I understand that this training will cover up-to-date and informed approaches to meet the contemporary competitive educational terrain."
The one-week training had "Transformative Higher Education Pedagogy and Practice," as its theme.

As is the case with starting a new school in any area, it takes a while to get adjusted.
I was a little skeptical coming to Denmark for school, as not only is it a new school in a different part of the world, but with it comes a new culture, a new set of rules, and a new language.
I realized I was lucky when I found out that literally everybody in Denmark can speak English. Apparently it's been part of the grade school curriculum for decades, so even the older population is fluent. That in itself made life so much easier.
The university curriculum itself is a lot different from what I'm used to at U of T. Instead of being grades and testing based, classes at Aarhus are very discussion and essay based. Both curriculums offer different things, but I must admit school here seems a lot less intense than what I'm used to at U of T!
Aarhus does a great job of integrating new students into the social aspect of the school community. Campus parties, club nights and pub nights are held by the school societies very often, and it's a great way to meet a lot of people from all over the world. It's funny to note that in making friends, most of the internationals have stuck together, while the Danish students seem pretty settled within their own groups. Most of the friends I've made here have come from other parts of the world, like me, and it's been a really cool chance to learn about a lot of different cultures. There are people from Ireland, England, Australia, Germany, Spain, as well as a few other people from Toronto.
The currency here, the Danish kroner, may be one of the hardest parts to adjust to… One kroner is comparable to about 5 Canadian dollars – so 20 dollars Canadian is about 100 kroner. It's easy to feel like you have a lot more money than you actually do (something I've had to deal with more often than I'd like to admit!)
The fact that everyone speaks English has definitely made transitioning here a lot easier. For everyone living in Denmark for more than 3 months, you are able to enroll in a Danish language course for free for up to 3 years. I was going to do this, but once I realized everyone speaks English (and when would I ever really use Danish again?), I decided to not take advantage of that – I'll focus on my schoolwork instead!
So basically, getting adjusted to life in Denmark hasn't been too hard. I think the only trouble I've really had adjusting has been with the weather… The culture is great, but this rain?! Not so much!
Take care and safe travels,

San Diego residents love having homes that allow them to experience the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. They also love their pets! To accommodate both, Anlin Window Systems has brought sliding patio doors with in-glass pet doors to the San Diego market.
This innovative product combines Anlin's well-built, energy-efficient Malibu line of sliding patio doors with their Freedom+ in-glass pet doors. The pet doors feature heavy-duty aluminum frames with reinforced corners, and soft and flexible flaps that are durable enough to withstand frequent use, even by multiple pets. All Freedom+ pet doors have a magnetic closure and a specially designed weather strip to keep the elements out and to help the inside of your home remain at a comfortable temperature.
The Anlin Malibu patio doors are made with Anlin's exclusive Infinit-e Plus High Performance Glazing system to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, reducing your energy costs, while at the same time blocking 95% of harmful UV rays. They also come with an array of safety features, including a multi-point locking system and exterior glazed glass, and many design options.
The patio doors' Easy-Clean coating on the exterior glass causes dirt and other organic material to decompose, so it can easily be rinsed away, making it easier to clean your patio doors and helping them stay clean longer! For more details about Malibu sliding patio doors, visit Anlin's website.
Michal Bohm, owner of BM Windows in San Diego, says of the product's popularity, "More and more, we are installing sliding patio doors that incorporate pet doors in our San Diego customers' homes. Homeowners love Anlin's product because they can choose where they want the pet door placed, and the patio door remains fully functional, even when the pet door's interior panel is inserted. Anlin products are well made and look great in pretty much any San Diego home"
Bohm continued, "People love their pets, but they don't necessarily want to be letting them in and out of the house all day or have them scratching at their door every time they want to be let out. Having an in-glass pet door allows pets the freedom to come and go as they please, and studies have show that pets with access to the outdoors are happier, healthier and exhibit fewer behavior problems. It's really a win-win situation for both you and your pet!"
Anlin sliding patio doors can only be installed by an authorized dealer. To find an authorized Anlin dealer in the San Diego area that sells Anlin's in-glass pet doors, visit the Anlin website.

Starting with 1000m of rowing, then 800m of running, then doing 800m of rowing and 600m of running, etc. As the time comes to a close, don't run out too far from the clock (to make the distance traveled easier to estimate).
