Girls with little or no education are far more likely to be married as children, suffer domestic violence, live in poverty, and lack a say over household spending or their own health care than better-educated peers, which harms them, their children, and communities, a new report by the World Bank Group finds. Jeni Klugman is the Director of Gender and Development at the World Bank Group. In her current role, she acts as lead spokesperson for gender equality issues, and is responsible for promoting the institution's gender and development priorities following the release of the 2012 World Development Report on Gender Equality and Development.

Bill reports on the hypocrisy of "justice for all" in a society where billions are squandered for a war born in fraud while the poor are pushed aside. He draws particular attention to the failing legacy of Gideon vs. Wainwright, the landmark Supreme ruling that established the constitutional right of criminal defendants to legal representation, even if they can't afford it. Turns out true justice -- not just the word that comes from our lips when we recite the Pledge of Allegiance -- is still unaffordable for those who need it most. Published on Mar 29, 2013

The guiding principle of our church is "Servant Leadership". Our leaders recognize the supreme important of modeling Christ as the basis in which true life transformation must take place within our own congregation. We lead by persuasion and exhortation focusing sharply on His Word as the authoritative basis of any action.
The First Baptist Leadership is based on the New Testament model of elders and deacons. The Council of Elders is responsible for the ministry of the Word in the pulpit and biblical education as well as providing overall spiritual oversight. The Church Board comprises deacons who are tasked with administering the church in the various ministries and programs. Pastors are either elders or deacons.
Beyond this group there is a wider group of deacons who are the ministry leaders, Life Group leaders of the church and other nominated leaders.Together with the Church board they form the Assembly of Leaders which is the review body of the church and provides check and balance as well as a pool of leaders who can rotate into the Church Board.

A Flatiron
I created this piece over two days: July 27-28, 2015.
My sister Marisa visited a couple weeks ago. Marisa, Karla, and I went to Boulder and hiked at Chautauqua Park. It was Marisa and my's first time there. While working our way up to the Royal Arch, we passed some of the well-known Flatirons. One of the pictures I took served as the inspiration for this piece.
This is the first piece in a long time where I've used a real mountain as the basis for the picture. It turned out well, and I'll continue this trend with other sources so I can get more experienced with mountain scenes. I do love mountains.
It took longer than other pieces I've done, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it at well!

A free lesson plan, which I wrote for the British Council Teaching English Teens page.
This lesson begins by focusing on some anti-smoking posters with students discussing the message and effectiveness of each one. They then learn some vocabulary to talk about four key reasons not to smoke: (health, cost, the impact on your attractiveness, and the impact on others). Students then choose one of these reasons and write a paragraph about it, using the vocabulary as appropriate.
As an optional final activity, the students design their own anti- smoking poster and present it to another pair or to the class.

I'm an advocate for CELTA. It isn't perfect, and you certainly can't consider the job finished when you pass, but in my experience it's an excellent way to pick up a lot of skills quickly.
The intensive course is just that- intensive. In fact, I once had a trainee who'd been in the SAS, who said CELTA was harder. But whether you're doing the intensive course, an online or blended or part-time course, there are a lot of things to learn. In fact,
'Being a new teacher is like trying to fly an airplane while building it.'
Rick Smith, Conscious Classroom Management, 2004, p.44
With this in mind, I've just produced my first self-published book, with the-round.com . It's called the CELTA Teaching Compendium. A compendium is 'a detailed collection of information on a particular subject, especially in a short book' (Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners) and in this particular compendium, I've set out to provide a quick, easy reference to all the key practical teaching skills taught in CELTA.
If you're a trainee, you could think of it as being like having your CELTA teaching practice tutor available for questions any time of the day or night. If you're a CELTA tutor, you could recommend sections to read, either as follow-up to your feedback, or in preparation for teaching practice.
The contents are listed alphabetically, so that the reader can dip in and out. Whenever another key skill is cross-referenced, there's a link to take you to that section.
Clearly there's in fact no 'right' way to teach. However, the suggestions and tips in this book are based on years of teaching and training teachers. I was also lucky enough to get feedback and further suggestions from a very kind group of CELTA tutors: Ricardo Barros, Viacheslav Kushnir, Anthony Gaughan, Natalia Ladygina, Marie Pettigrew and Zach Pinson.
You can see it on the round here, and the book is available for purchase at $4.99/£4.19 on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and Smashwords. I hope you find it useful, and I'd be delighted to get any feedback or the offer of a review.

The American dictionary, Merriam Webster recently tweeted, 'Lookups for 'feminism' spiked today. It's "the belief that men & women should have equal rights and opportunities." It is believed that this was in response to Kellyanne Conway's (a top Trump adviser) remark that "It's difficult for me to call myself a feminist in a classic sense because it seems to be very anti-male.."
Feminism is not about being anti-male, but it is about recognising that, despite the strides that have been made in certain parts of the world, women are still very much disadvantaged. This doesn't mean that bad things don't happen to men, or that men aren't discriminated against too sometimes, but that there is still a lot of work to be done to make things equal.
I'm a member of a new group on facebook, Women in ELT, (set up by Nicola Prentis) and the stories I have heard from my fellow female teachers around the world (more than 600 members so far) would make your hair curl. It's only open to women teachers (which has been controversial), but if you're one, just put in a request to join.
The great thing about this group, and the great thing, in my opinion, about Trump's election, is that it is waking people up and pushing them into standing up for what they believe. And that includes me. I hope I don't get a backlash, but I think it's something I'll have to risk.
So here are some lesson plans you could use to look at feminism and gender equality with your classes and wake them up too. Some from me, and some from some very talented teachers I've met through the facebook group. I'll add more as I find them.
Women in Science– the lesson begins by challenging some stereotypes and asking students to consider why there aren't more women in science. They then read a text which provides some possible reasons, and discuss how these relate to their own opinions.
The lesson then focuses on reference words, and how they link a text together, before a final speaking tasks about different jobs and gender.
Unsung Heroes– the lesson begins by asking students to think of well-known people that they consider to be heroes. It is likely that many of these will be men, so the students then go on to learn about 5 remarkable women in a jigsaw reading activity.
The students discuss these women's achievements, and learn some useful vocabulary for talking about social issues. There is then a focus on relative clauses, before the final task of writing about another female hero, using the vocabulary and relative clauses where appropriate. For a 50-60 minute class the writing stage could be done at home.
Labels– the lesson is built around a viral advertising video which focuses on the idea that women are not treated equally in the workplace, being judged differently from men for doing the same things. The video has no dialogue, just a soundtrack.
The lesson starts by looking at the words used in the video to 'label' men and women. For example, persuasive vs pushy. It would probably work best not to tell the students the topic of the video at this stage. Students then watch the video and answer a couple of simple comprehension questions.
They then go on to read an article about the video, which discusses the issue in more depth, and also how suitable it is to use an advert selling a beauty product to discuss a feminist issue.
Finally the students discuss their own opinion of the message of the video and consider other viral videos they have seen which promote a message.
A conversation lesson about self love– by Cecilia Nobre. Cecilia says, 'When I first came across Jessamyn's story, I thought it was gutsy and moving. She is a yoga teacher who has become an Instagram star for her body-positive message and for showing the world that Yoga teachers can come in all shapes and sizes. I tend to plan my lessons around topics that interest me first, and I then reflect on whether my students might also connect and engage with these topics.
Most of my sources are authentic and this one is no exception. I essentially based all of the tasks on Jessamyn's impressive Facebook profile; she posts interesting news articles, videos, photos and different sorts of media items.
The Women's March Vienna 2017– by Katy Simpson on her site, myenglishvoice.com. Katy says, 'My English Voice is all about helping people to make their voices heard. So we were very excited to join in the protests on Saturday, 21st January 2017; it was a historic day for people around the world who feel their voices are not being heard.Up to 2 million people took part in protests around the world in solidarity with the Women's March on Washington. There were marches in 161 cities across all seven continents the day after Donald Trump's inauguration as the 45th president of the United States. (Source: The Guardian). This lesson is about the march in Vienna, Austria.'
A free downloadable lesson, particularly suitable for Valentine's Day, but usable at any time of the year, about 36 questions which might make you fall in love.
The lesson starts by discussing different views of love, before the students read a short text, giving the background to an experiment where strangers asked these questions to see if they would fall in love.
The students then watch a video of two strangers getting to know each other by asking these questions, and see how they become closer as the interview progresses.
There is then a focus on question forms, looking at some slightly more complex questions. This would be suitable from B1 upwards.
Finally the students choose some of the questions that they are happy to answer, and discuss them in pairs (falling in love definitely not obligatory!)
[NB. Be aware that at around 4.19, Cam gives a couple of examples of swear words.]

21st century skills is a term that everyone seems to be talking about, yet no-one seems entirely sure what exactly it means. Or rather, everyone interprets it slightly differently. In my latest blog post for the British Council, I look at the skills the World Economic Forum predicts are/will soon be needed in the workplace, and how we can help our students to develop these skills, without completely changing what we are doing already.

Marking written work can be incredibly time-consuming, and it's disheartening when you see the students glance quickly at your detailed comments and put the piece of writing away in their bags never to be looked at again.
So, what can be done to a) reduce your workload as a teacher and b) encourage students to actually learn something from your feedback*?
We all know that it's important to get students to take responsibility for their own work and many teachers use a correction code to encourage students to self-correct. This can be useful, but you still need to be selective. Too many corrections/comments can lead to the student feeling overwhelmed and demotivated, and/or the student not knowing which of these areas are high priorities.
Of course, with all these approaches it is important that the students understand that not highlighting something doesn't automatically mean that it is correct, but that you are being selective.
In the UK this has the lovely acronym DIRT (directed improvement and reflection time). If we don't want our carefully thought through feedback to be ignored, DIRT is vital. However, it is unlikely in most contexts that you will have sufficient class time for students to sit and re-draft the whole pieces of work in class. Again, be selective.
So, if you have just marked one paragraph, students could work on that one paragraph in class, and then look at the rest at home. Or, if you have just marked errors with articles, you could write a selection of errors on the board for the class to correct, and then ask students to correct just one paragraph of their own work in class. Or if they have asked you about a particular section, give them time to work on rewriting that section in class, in response to your feedback.
Once students are familiar with the DIRT technique, you can write DIRT activities on the bottom of their written work. For example, 'Find at least three sentences where you have used 'and' and 'but' and change them to use more complex linkers' or 'rewrite paragraph 3 and make sure that the tenses are used correctly.'
Extensive feedback that students do nothing with is, quite frankly, a complete waste of everyone's time, so why not experiment with some of these ideas?
*Of course, feedback is not only about pointing out what could be better, and it is also important to point out what went well.

As women, there's a bunch of stuff we do that doesn't… how shall I put this?
Make sense.
It's not our fault – there's a long process of socialisation that eventually leads to me, as a 26-year-old woman, not being able to leave the house without make up on my face, or dreaming about marrying my future husband in a goddamn white wedding dress.
Of course, weddings are one of the events we participate in that make particularly little sense.
Everything from what you wear on your wedding day to who walks you down the aisle is laden with patriarchal meaning that's been established over hundreds (or even thousands) of years. But for a lot of us, that doesn't stop us from wanting it.
I was recently at a wedding where the bride wore her mother's veil. It was stunning, obviously, but there was something about seeing a woman wearing a piece of fabric over her face that made me interested in where the tradition came from.
Of course, in 2017, veils are excellent. They solve the age-old problem of the 'ugly-cry'. While the man is standing at the altar trying to not appear emotional, us ladies can have snot running down our faces and no one can see.
But something tells me no one was thinking about the ugly-cry when they designed the veil.
Interestingly, it's thought that the bride's veil and bouquet predates the wearing of white at weddings.
While it's hard to pinpoint the exact reason women started wearing veils, it's believed it was initially part of an ancient Greek and Roman tradition to ward off evil spirits. Covering the bride's face would camouflage her, and having bridesmaids (who originally dressed in the same attire as the bride) would serve as decoys for demons.
Over time, however, the meaning of the veil evolved and was influenced by religion. In many faiths, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the white veil symbolises virginity, obedience and modesty.
Listen to the Mamamia Out Loud hosts discuss a wedding party gone wrong. Post continues after audio.
It's also closely tied to the idea of ownership, with the groom's lifting of the veil signifying the transfer of ownership between a woman's father and her husband.
Historically, the veil was also intended to hinder a bride's vision and movement. Covering her face with fabric meant she was less likely to run away, and when her father walked her down the aisle, he was literally helping her to walk because she couldn't see where she was going.
Apparently trains on wedding dresses were created for the same reason - to stop a bride from escaping.
So, yes, when it comes to weddings, there's a lot that doesn't really make sense in 2017. But if you want to wear a veil, for literally any other reason than as a tool to stop you from escaping, I say power to you.

New Music From Secret Colours
With Positive Distractions, Secret Colours craft a sound that reaches far beyond the industrial city limits of their hometown of Chicago, IL. Recorded at Dandy Sounds Studio in Dripping Springs, TX by Producer Dan Duszynski, they have taken a direction with their new album by relying much more on the live spirit that swells from the stage. Taking musical cues from indie rock, psychedelia, and garage and fusing them into an album that is truly unique, the album is unlike anything the band has put to tape. Songs like "Into You" and "I Know What You Want" are an homage to their BritPop influences while opening song "City Slicker" has all the cool of '60s psych-pop with an attitude of disgust unseen since mid-'70s London. Follow-up track "It Can't Be Simple" takes on a reggae-inspired rhythm section not far from The Clash, complete with infectious organ. There is a parallel metaphor of evolution one could use to describe Secret Colours since releasing their sophomore effort Peach last year. Secret Colours is eager to celebrate the much leaner four-piece collective, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Tommy Evans and drummer Justin Frederick rounded out by newcomers Eric Hehr (bass) and Mike Novak (guitar) with the release of Positive Distractions. Since the band's formation in 2010, Secret Colours have performed with the likes of: Warpaint, The Raveonettes, Night Beats, The Warlocks, Spindrift and more.
"With Positive Distractions, Secret Colours manages to produce a perfectly balanced neo-garage-pop album with subtle but electrifying surprises scattered throughout."
"Secret Colours are a Chicago combo that traces their sonic lineage from '60s psychedelia and '90s Britpop."

No longer do the heralds appear

to cold, northern manors.
They came every few generations
across the Tees, hawking noble phlegm
into the mist – braving the kine-clagged
yards of armigerous yeomen.
Having supped, enquiries were made:
'Who was the first born son
of your grandfather?
Did he leave legitimate issue?
Only maids you say? Then,
we have to declare the line extinct,
the ancient blazon ended – except
under certain circumstances'.
Afterwards – in the rain outside –
the descendants of Oswy's warriors
lean upon their mattocks and gawp
with tamed eyes
at the gorgeous, glutted cavalcade
that clips and clops its way down the hill.
A bent old man grunts: 'me grandfetha used to tell
aboot last time yon crowd ganged this road'.

February 1-10
Well, it is finally Academy Award month…And for us that means movie watching marathons of all the Nominees we have not yet seen. We actually started our marathon in Mesa, but once we got to California we charged ahead to see all the movies that we couldn't find in other parts of the country. At least California is still worth something (lol)…
We are really here in California for Roberta to have some medical stuff taken care of. Nothing serious; just something she has wanted to finish taking care of for a while now & we finally got around to having it done. We will be here at least until the end of April; then we hope to do some local traveling in & out of California while she is rehabilitating until about June. Obviously our travel posts will be somewhat limited for a while, but we will try to find something to blog about in the meantime. For example –
Here is our summation of the Academy Award Nominated films so far – don't bother seeing The Iron Lady or The Tree of Life. In the first Meryl Streep is her usual wonderful self, but this is not the best performance of her career & the movie is a total flop in our humble opinion. And the second one, well, neither of us understand the point of it and did something we RARELY do – turned it off halfway through and did not finish it.
We highly recommend these nominees – The Artist, Hugo, The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, W.E. (should have had more than just the one nomination!), Moneyball, War Horse, The Help, Albert Nobbs (this one should have received MUCH wider release; Glenn Close & her co-star are GREAT), My Week with Marilyn (Michelle Williams does an incredible job as Marilyn) The Ides of March and Margin Call. We did not like ANY of the animated Shorts, but we liked ALL the live action Shorts. And of course we are rooting for Rango to win Best Animated Film (It was the last movie Roberta's son worked on before leaving Lucasfilms and is the second film on which he got his name in the credits. His first film was Avatar, so it would be cool if "his film" won this year too.)
We now just have the 11 films that are out on DVD to see before the Awards in 2 weeks. That will give us something to fill our time while Roberta is recovering from her surgery.
We will let you know what we think of those films in the next post!
February 11-24
Roberta is recovering very quickly from her surgery. She loves lying in bed in the hotel room while Dave cooks her meals, fluffs her pillows, and brings her DVDs to watch…….
Aren't those California drivers wonderful :-O
Roberta's surgery went even better than expected!
Roberta can always count on her boys to cheer her up
February 25
We have now completed our movie viewing and are ready for the Awards tomorrow! We managed to see more of the nominated movies this year than ever before – pretty much only missed some of the foreign films and the documentaries.
Look who Dave bumped into while doing the grocery shopping – Coach Amy!
Roberta is ready for a change of scenery after a week recuperating in a local motel. We both looked forward to moving back into the RV! (as long as Dave keeps doing the cooking and cleaning 😉 )
February 26
Hey! This is the first year we didn't miss the monologue…So here is our tally – Dave and Roberta each predicted 8 of the awards correctly. We were both wrong on 10 of them. Now we can start watching the movies that might be nominated next year….
February 27-29
We are now resting in a campground near Redlands, California. It has been lovely weather, including one cozy rain-soaked day, and we are really enjoying the relaxation! Roberta gets noticeably stronger every day and is loving "catching up" on doing the things she wouldn't normally sit still long enough to do. We feel like the luckiest people in the world to be living this vagabond lifestyle!!!
Baking is one of Roberta's favorite things to do to pass the time
Ahhhh…this is the life……..

When buying a present, clocks and even watches are a no no. To give a clock has the same meaning as sending someone off at a funeral in Chinese this giving a clock to Chinese people is considered very bad manners. Some people also mind receiving watches as watches are like minature clocks.
When eating with a bowl and chopsticks, don't stab your chopsticks into the bowl and leave it like that. Reason being this is how we offer food to the dead. My parents scared me out of that habit by telling me that if I left my chopsticks like that, the ghosts would come eat all my food. This is particularly discouraged during the Hungry Ghost Month where the ghosts come out to play.
Chinese also like even numbers so if you have to give a red packet at a wedding, anything with the number 8 is your best bet. Simply because the number 8 when pronounced in Cantonese means prosperity.
I'll continue to think of more.
I forget what superstitions were linked into that one.
------------------Please sit still...while I devour your brain.
In America:
No whistling in theatres, it's bad luck. It goes back to when sailors were in charge of all the ropes used for the set and the stage director used a whistle to tell them what to do, so whistling if you weren't the stage director would confuse them.
Breaking a mirror--I don't know why that's bad luck.
Walking under a ladder, that's bad luck because it's extremely dangerous and people just made it sound like the consequences were even worse so people wouldn't.
Spilling salt is bad luck too, I don't know about that either.
What about things that give you good luck?
I know some of the weirder ones are kissing a sea-cucumber and rubbing a buddha's belly. I have a little jade mini-buddha I wear on a string at exam time and when I'm nervous I rub his tummy.
------------------I am not who I appear to be.
Gaffer--from under the moon backstage
and it's more aupicious to have the bed in a north-south orientation, with the head facing north (but my head points south! aie ). also when hanging up the buddha image, you don't have it in a place where your feet would be pointed. but that only applies if you'd have a buddha in your room -- like me
Some of the ones you said are "valid" here too, but here's some:
* walking under stairs (don't know the reason of that either - maybe it's because they can fall down on you ehehe)
* pointing in general is considered bad manners (not necessarily bad luck)
* It gives bad luck if there are 13 people sitting on a table (for a meal). If there are 13 people to eat, it's best to split like either 12 + 1 in different tables, or different combinations of 13 people :)
* Friday the 13th - bad luck for sure :p (don't ask me why)
* Actually anything related to the number 13 is usually bad luck...
* Don't put a hat on a bed - even more nonsense than the above hehe
* If you see a black cat that will give you bad luck
* To break a mirror will give you x years of bad luck (can't remember how many eheh)
* Don't congratulate someone for birthdays or other events beforehand! ;)
* For example, when entering the classroom to do a test/exam, always enter with the right foot first ehehe if you enter with the left foot first...bad luck! Of couse you can always try to jump in with both your feet ;)
* Also regarding tests or anything people would usually say "Good Luck!", some people actually say it gives bad luck to wish "Good Luck" (lol) ... so it's better to say something like "**** off" if you want to wish someone luck ... when I was at school I hated when people did that lol I think Americans have something similar that came from theatre, like "Break a leg", isn't it?
* To write a letter/note (or something to give someone else) in red is not bad luck but that means you're sending them (the person) to somewhere not very nice eheh like "piss off!" :)
* I think this should be fairly universal, but it's bad luck for a wedding if the husband-to-be sees the wife-to-be on her wedding dress before the day :)
* When I was in Turkey, when you visit someone it's polite to offer you tea (in small cute glasses eheh), and it's considered bad manners if you leave the glass full - if you don't like it (and the one I got was very very bitter *yuck*), try and drink a little bit, because if you don't, you'll be wishing bad luck to the familly that offered you the tea :)
Now some weird things for good luck... eheh :
* If you see a spider, or one is wondering around your house (lol) that means you'll have good fortune -> hasn't happened in my house yet ;)
* If a bird errr ':) (I don't really know the word for this, sorry eheh) you know, pee or something, over you, that's apparently good luck for you ;)
* On the New Year's Eve, you should eat 12 dry-grapes, one for each Church Bell sound (if you get that - like, when it's 12 o'clock of the 31st December), and making a whish for each one you eat, so that the wishes will come true in the year ahead
I think these should be enough :) If I remember something more I'll pop back! ;)

* If you kill a spider it'll rain* If you cross the path of a black cat it's bad luck* If you walk under a ladder it's bad luck* If you open an umbrella indoors it's something really bad like you're gonna die soon or something ... ?? * If you're sitting on the floor w/ your legs out and someone walks over them, you'll stop growing (height wise lol)
That's it for now i think ...

As for the mirror thing: if you break it, you get 7 years bad luck.
I've broken one before. I was about 8 years old, so my 7 years have passed and I've done pretty well.
That one might have been inspired by the scarcity of glass...probably was.
Oh and another one: don't step on cracks in the sidewalk.
Also, good luck things...hmm. There's the four-leaf clover... there's also something about a penny. I think if you find a penny face down on the ground it's bad luck, if face up it's good luck so you're supposed to pick it up.
And there are a bunch which are just bad manners and not really Evil Omens or anything.
Oh, also, some cultures won't let you take their picture because they feel a bit of the soul goes into the picture... but I can't remember which one(s).
[Added as an afterthought]: Don't say MACBETH in a theatre. It seems pretty silly but I suppose at [one of] the first productions of Macbeth something bad happened or whatever... anyway, my theatre friends swear they will never do it, ever, ever, and when it has happened, bad things have happened... but since I am not a theatre person, I wouldn't know. is something to be said for self-fulfilling prophecy though.

There are few superstitions that have developed over the 3000 year history of the Jews but I will tell you one. There is a great tradition of opening the nearest window and shouting to all the neigbourhood "AND VHY DID HE ONLY COME SECOND?!" when your son returns home from school to recount a fairly good exam result. Related to this is the need to shout about the acedemic exploits of all your children in a passive aggressive manner to annoy other people who do not happen to have children who are complete geniuses. This is to give good luck to your childrens futures. I love my culture.

A few mexican supertitions that I can think of are, when you step into a differant room always step with your left foot (or is it right?) and another is once you baby is born you should a red ribbion around their finger so they won't get a look at the 'red eye'.
------------------Every time someone says, 'I don't believe in fairies,' one falls over dead.
Then the old favorite, don't pick up a coin unless it's heads up
------------------Can you fly this plane and land it?Surely you can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
The Japanese have three syllabaries (similar to alphabets). One of these is a modified version of the Chinese syllabary, known as "Kanji".
Things like fire, water, house, person, etc. all have the same meaning, but different pronunciation. This includes the numerals.

Kissing a sea cucumber? That's just plain strange. I don't mind holding the little fellas when I go to Sea World, but I couldn't imagine kissing one. Where are you supposed to find one, anyway?
That's just weird. Now excuse me while I go throw salt over my shoulder to counteract the mirror I almost broke today.

Right now HAPPY doesn't even begin to cover the emotions I am feeling. As of tonight I have officially completed my Rank I degree in Special Education!!!!!!!
My college journey has taken 6.5 years total (although it has seemed like much more). I spent 4.5 years getting my elementary degree and then another 1.5 years getting my master's in elementary education. About 1.5 years ago I decided I was ready for a different direction in life and so I jumped into a special education program and I am SOOO glad I did! I teach resource Language Arts and Reading classes at Warren East Middle and I LOVE IT!!
This Rank I has been a lot of tough work, but it has been worth it. I took classes during my pregnancy and all during Cooper's life thus far. I even took classes only a week after he was born! This course was perfect for a Mom though because it was all online.
After hours spent in online classes, HUNDREDS of pages in the 123 papers I have written for this degree, and all the late nights and tears I have cried in frustration I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!
I am so proud of myself and thankful to my husband, parents, and friends for their support during this crazy process!
NO MORE CLASSES FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! Time to celebrate!!!!
Thursday, August 26, 2010

Yay!I'm so proud of you! I love reading your blog every so often. Your baby Cooper is beautiful - I can so see your dad in him - yes, I still think he's beautiful.

Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, AKA Hit-Girl and Red Mist, are also real-life BFFs
Not that way, perv—at the time, she was 13 and he was 19. Still, the two became BFFs on the publicity trail, though with the big-brother/little-sister roles reversed. "In almost every interview, Chloë would beat me up," says Mintz-Plasse. "She was in fight training for months, and she was really freaking strong." She paid him back, though, with the gift of Lady Gaga. "All we would do was sing 'Paparazzi,' " says Mintz-Plasse. "The beautiful harmony of that chorus." "You did go for the high notes a lot," Moretz remembers.
This summer the pals are back for more ultraviolence in Kick-Ass 2. But Mintz-Plasse has some homework to do before they hit the PR trail again. "I found a new song for us: 'Come Get It' by Selena Gomez," Moretz tells him. "It's easy to learn. We can kill it."
"I'll download it right now and listen to it a million times," says Mintz-Plasse. "I've gotta learn my lines."

We Ask Some Of The Smartest And Most Interesting People We Know, "What's At The Top Of Your Mind As You Look Toward 2010?
What Do You Plan To Focus On Most Intently, And What Advice, If Any, Do You Have For Readers?
Howard Christensen, CPA, Chairman, Capital Markets Board and the Founder and Managing Director, Directors Intelligence Resources:
"As we look toward 2010, all the elements for a perfect storm in board, management and investor relationships seem to be in place. Overzealous politicians - fueled by daily media attention to corporate governance issues – and further fueled by the economy - are creating an atmosphere that's full of turbulence and instability. Investors are demanding more director accountability. They want direct access to directors and to the director election machinery itself.
Board directors want and need help: They recognize their vulnerability. They don't want to be featured in front page newspaper articles, or end up with a lot of negative votes at the next shareholder meeting. But there is very limited dialogue in most companies, if any, between investors and board directors. And generally, there is not an effective process in place for such engagement.
My advice? Management and boards must work in concert to take charge of the restoration and rebuilding of corporate credibility. They must know and understand how their actions are perceived. They need to initiate positive actions to cause engagement and a meaningful and ongoing two way dialogue with investors and other important constituents. Management - and boards - must ask the right questions, listen to the answers… and respond. They must connect and "Stay Connected": DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION."
Margaret (Peggy) Foran, Chief Governance Officer and Secretary, Prudential Financial, who, as usual, takes her own advice by communicating crisply and effectively, herself:
"2010 is perhaps 'the year of communication and engagement.' We have to find better, crisper and more effective ways of communicating with our share owners and engaging with them. This goes for both the Company and the Board."
Amy Goodman, a partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's Washington, D.C. office, is co-chair of the firm's Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance practice group and a member of the firm's Executive Compensation and Corporate Transactions groups. She has held a variety of senior level positions with the SEC and has authored of numerous publications.
"Companies, their boards and management need to be sensitive to the changing role of shareholders. Whether they like it or not, shareholders' power has increased in recent years, and is likely to do so exponentially over the next several years if some proposals, such as say on pay and proxy access, are adopted/enacted.
As a result, companies need to engage in greater shareholder engagement, which should involve not only institutional shareholders, but also, for companies with significant retail shareholder bases, retail shareholders as well. New technologies not only make this feasible, but are essential as shareholder activists already are reaching out to retail shareholders through innovative websites. The recently announced SEC review of the proxy "plumbing" systems will hopefully produce changes in the system that will make shareholder communications easier and less expensive. Directors also need to be involved, both overseeing companies' shareholder communication efforts, and directly meeting with shareholders in appropriate circumstances."
Rich Ferlauto, currently Director, Corporate Governance and Public Pension Programs at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and a former Managing Director at Institutional Shareholder Services, who will join the SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy in January:
"With the strong likelihood of Direct Access and universal Say-On-Pay in 2010 we are moving from a period of struggle for investor rights to an era of implementation. We need to give investors better tools to evaluate performance and improve boards – and to determine whether directors are appropriately creating pay packages and risk management systems.
Another major goal for 2010 is to help expand the voice of investors at the SEC, and to be sure that their input is integrated into the rulemaking process."
Craig Mallick, Corporate Secretary and Assistant General Counsel of United States Steel Corporation:
"My primary worry is if the SEC adopts and Congress enacts all the things that are currently on the table – like Say-On-Pay, Proxy Access, mandated separation of the Chairman and CEO positions – I don't expect the governance activists to fold their tents. This will just ratchet up their activities I think.
We need to ask, 'What's going to be next?' and 'What should we be doing to get ready?' If I had only one piece of advice to offer readers, it would be to join the Society if you are not already a member – and if you are, to ratchet up your own attention to and participation in Society initiatives, activities, educational programs and advocacy efforts."
Dannette Smith, Secretary to the Board and Deputy General Counsel, United Health Group:
"Staying connected with our shareholders is more important than ever for 2010. It appears certain that we will see significant and wide-ranging changes to corporate governance regulations over the course of the year ahead. Currently, we are actively planning for our 2010 annual shareholders' meeting and related disclosures in our proxy statement. We are making changes to respond to the pending SEC disclosure rule proposal, which everyone believes will be effective for the 2010 season. We are also making changes to our 2010 proxy statement disclosure as a result of feedback we solicited from shareholders.
During the fall, we met with a number of our shareholders, either in person or over the phone, as well as certain proxy advisory firms. In those meetings, we discussed the clarity of disclosure in our 2009 proxy statement and emerging and best corporate governance practices. These conversations were summarized and the broad themes were discussed with our board at its most recent meeting. This information helps the board to determine focus areas for 2010. One significant "pointer" we picked up from these shareholder meetings: It is important that your proxy statement disclose the absence of certain practices. For example, not all of our shareholders were aware that we do not have any 280G change-in-control gross-up payments and we do not pay dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs.
One of our "top issues" for 2010 is disclosure changes regarding the board's oversight of risk. Our board participated in a director education session to help directors understand best practices with respect to risk oversight. We are now in the process of conducting a formal risk assessment of the design of all of our enterprise-wide sales incentive plans. This is being done by a cross-functional team, of internal audit, human capital, legal and finance personnel. They are reviewing both qualitative and quantitative risks. We will report the results of the risk assessment to our compensation and human resources committee at their meeting in the first quarter of 2010.
Kathleen Salmas, Corporate Secretary and Governance Officer at Northrop Grumman, and Chair of the Society's upcoming Essentials Program:
"In January we will have a new Independent Chairman. He comes most recently from the entertainment industry – but he has a banking-industry background as well – and has been a strong individual director too. As Independent Chairman he will be replacing the former lead-director – a former four-star general. Plus, we have a new CFO.
So 2010 will be a major learning experience for all of us…with many new styles and ideas – lots of discussion and decisions, I expect, as to who will do what, many fresh approaches and some challenging information-transfer needs. The Corporate Secretary and Governance Officer positions have always been interesting…there's never a dull moment really. But the pace of
change – and the degree of involvement a Corporate Secretary and Governance Officer has in facilitating change, and assuring smooth transitions, has never been greater in my experience. My advice? Stay cool and calm, and do your best to enjoy it!"

Wholesale Trade
As a consumer, you buy your goods from retail establishments like Best Buy, Wal-Mart or Lowe's. As a business, government agency, university or hospital you buy your goods from wholesale trade companies. These companies sell just about any item you can imagine at discounted rates because of the large quantity their customers purchase. These items are diverse and vast and include things like furniture, office supplies, computers, wall paper, signs, light fixtures, plastic bags and much more. The major types of wholesalers are merchant wholesalers who deal in durable or nondurable goods and agents and brokers that arrange for sales on the behalf of the goods of others for a commission. The agents and brokers typically deal in high ticket items, specifically emerging technology. Wholesale trade is vital to our businesses and really is the lifeblood of the economy. Without these kinds of trade outlets it would be tough for businesses to afford what is necessary to run their organizations. Our directory on wholesale trade includes information on all the major wholesale distributors in the world broken down by industry and vertical. You will find links to resources on exactly how wholesale trade works and why it is so vital to our economic state. This business directory on wholesale trade will even cover businesses that have thrived due to their ability to capitalize on the trade market and make buying decisions that ultimately increased their bottom line.

If there's one thing I learned in regards to reading, it's that I really don't have a favorite genre because each one of my favorite books from this year is so completely different. I also learned that sometimes the hype around a book is real, sometimes it's not, and sometimes pushing yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit can really pay off.
These were my five favorites that I read this year, plus a couple of honorable mentions that really stand out and weren't quickly forgotten. I linked each book back to my original review.
A Prayer for Owen Meany | This is probably my favorite book of all time- at least in the top 3. I picked it up completely randomly after seeing it in a Bookbub email and I totally think it was meant to be.
Finding Audrey | I loved everything about this book. The story, the characters, and dialogue, the parts that were told through a script. Anxiety and depression is so, so real and I loved Kinsella's take on in this novel.
Pretty Girls | Hands down the best thriller/horror book I've ever read. This was a 5-star book I would never read again because it was so dark and at times graphic.
Daring Greatly | Brene Brown's research is so insightful and interesting to me, and I think just about anyone can find something inspiring out of this book.
Homegoing | Beautiful writing and storytelling in such a unique format.
honorable mentions: Swear on This Life, Eligible, The Mothers
What were some of the best books you read this year?

San Elijo Road Speed Enforcement Issue in the San Diego UT
SAN MARCOS — As authorities in San Marcos work to curb speeding cars on city streets — particularly on San Elijo Road — some drivers are alarmed by one method the deputies use: stepping into the path of oncoming traffic to flag down motorists.
The practice, though, is part of their training and is standard operating procedure throughout the county, the deputies and the San Marcos sheriff's station captain said Wednesday.
San Elijo resident Patrick Knapp said he has repeatedly complained of seeing deputies "go out into the middle of the road and put their hands up like Darth Vader" to slow speeding vehicles.
"It's shocking to me," Knapp said. The 47-year-old real estate agent said he's witnessed it a handful of times. Read More in UT

The city of Plaquemine has ramped up its efforts to curb a littering problem along Bayou Plaquemine that officials say has become incessant.
The city has had an ongoing educational campaign on littering through the city newsletter, its Facebook page and media coverage, but the amount of litter collected is increasing, rather than decreasing.
Officials announced last week they cleared brush around 33 drains that filter into Bayou Plaquemine and had a two-man team picking up litter by boat along the bayou's shoreline.
The city is also researching ways to block litter from going into its drainage system, such as placing metal screening over the drains.
"Residents need to realize that when they litter it affects drainage, it affects our community and it affects our … natural habitat," Mayor Mark "Tony" Gulotta said in a news release. "They also need to recognize that the city can't solve this problem alone."

text: In Oman desert, European venture sets sights on Mars Feb 09, 2018 0 89 12345 AFPDhofar, OmanWould-be astronauts in aluminium-coated suits venture out in rovers from a sprawling camp in Oman's barren desert: a simulation by a European venture aiming to one day help humans survive on Mars.Behind a barbed wire fence protected by soldiers from the Gulf sultanate, researchers in prefab facilities work away on experiments that include trying to grow vegetables in inhospitable terrain chosen for its resemblance to the red planet.Run by the Austrian Space Forum, a mainly volunteer collective, with the backing of the Omani government, the AMADEE-18 Mars Analog Mission has brought together researchers, inventors, space professionals and enthusiasts.For decades the realm of science fiction, sending a manned mission to Mars is now the stated -- albeit still distant -- goal of the US government and entrepreneurs.On Tuesday US billionaire Elon Musk launched the world's most powerful rocket -- the SpaceX Falcon Heavy towards an orbit near Mars.In this remote corner of the Arabian Peninsula's Dhofar desert, the European-led project may be far less flashy -- but it is still looking to answer major questions."Once we go to Mars, and stay on Mars, we will have to use the resources we find on Mars because we cannot bring everything from Earth,"forum president Alexander Soucek said."So we have to use the things we find there: first of all to sustain life there, to sustain missions there, and then in the longer run maybe also for other things."The Austrian Space Forum does not have a rocket like Musk, but its members many with day jobs at traditional space agencies or private companies -- share the entrepreneur's drive to be innovative.In the increasingly crowded field of space exploration, Soucek says the project is carving out a special niche with its Mars simulations."We get sponsors from private industry. We collect money, partnerships, invite people to join forces,"he said.Volunteer researcher Joao Lousada was struggling into a pressure-simulating exoskeleton suit with the help of three technicians.Weighing more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds), it is custom-built to simulate the constricted movement astronauts would feel on Mars -- and takes a gruelling hours-long process just to put on.Like the other volunteers he watched the Falcon Heavy launch with awe, but he said there were serious issues about the commercialisation of space."You can't claim the moon, you can't claim asteroids so mining comes into a bit of a legal loophole,"Lousada said."But... I think it's a very interesting idea. I think definitely we should look into using resources from asteroids that are not available on Earth or are less frequent on Earth."Once suited up, Lousada and fellow researcher Kartik Kumar mounted rovers and rode off under the blazing sun to complete their set of experiments in the desert.Returning before dusk, Kumar an expert on space debris reflected on the role and responsibility of space voyagers.
