Sarah L. Silkey joins the chorus of scholars trying to shake American historians out of their provincialism with her book, Black Woman Reformer, which reimagines the antilynching crusade of Ida B. Wells as part of a broader transatlantic social-reform movement. As early as the 1830s, British perceptions of lynching reflected the rhetoric of its American defenders who rationalized extralegal violence as a form of "frontier justice" necessary in remote towns in the American West. Silkey argues that, when Wells traveled to Britain in 1893 and 1894, she cultivated relationships within this reform network to challenge [End Page 261] how many religious and political leaders in Britain viewed lynching. Wells shifted the discourse on lynching away from "frontier justice" and the "black rapist" myth to lay bare the white supremacist intentions of lynch mobs that murdered African Americans. Wells's British allies, in turn, published scathing editorials condemning lynching and appealed to southern politicians to prevent mob violence and punish perpetrators. These politicians found themselves caught between a white constituency that enthusiastically celebrated lynching and, Silkey contends, potential British investors wary of the lawlessness and barbarity of mob rule. Although this surge of British antilynching activism quickly receded, these debates compelled some southern governors to temporarily adopt (spotty, half-hearted) measures aimed at curbing lynching.
Despite Silkey's commendable impulse to challenge the myopia of American exceptionalism with her transatlantic framework, her book suffers from a myopia of its own. Her analysis is often disconnected from the very economic, political, and social contexts that gave meaning to lynching. She convincingly illustrates how Wells reframed the discourse on lynching, yet only in passing does Silkey address the ways in which lynching changed over the course of the nineteenth century as a result of major historical shifts like emancipation and the rise of scientific racism. This broader historical context accounts for why white southern anxieties about the racial hierarchy increased, why lynching became a predominantly southern, predominantly white-on-black crime by the mid-1880s, and why the "black rapist" myth emerged. What remained consistent across the nineteenth century was that the social function of lynching hinged on the race of the victim. Silkey's discussion of antebellum lynching, however, glosses over distinctions between the lynching of white gamblers and the lynching of enslaved men accused of planning an insurrection. Both cases made an example of "dangerous" elements in society, but the moral threat posed by the gamblers and the threat to the system of slavery posed by the insurrectionists differed precisely because of the inescapable reality of white supremacy and the violence endemic to [End Page 262] slavery. Understanding the uphill battle Wells fought against lynching requires more than a discussion of white perceptions of lynching in published accounts; it also requires an analysis of how extralegal violence shaped social relationships, culture, and identity in practice.
Silkey's research spans an impressive range of archives on both sides of the Atlantic, and her findings shed new light on Wells's struggles and strategies as she made her appeals for racial justice abroad. But ultimately her claim that this transatlantic reform network generated more than just publicity, although suggestive, remains tenuous without more substantial evidence that economic and diplomatic interests were at stake. She contends that British reformers put pressure on southern politicians who required outside capital to develop regional industries and infrastructure, but her sources reveal little about what British firms and British banks thought about the negative publicity generated by these reformers. Even if reformers jeopardized British investments, how important were foreign investors relative to northern sources of capital? The limited impact of this transatlantic reform network does not detract from Wells's antilynching crusade. Rather, that her appeals and those of her supporters fell largely on deaf ears further speaks to how deeply entrenched and vigorously defended white supremacy was under Jim Crow.

Local bull rider and Alberta movie stuntman's biggest stunt yet: The Calgary Stampede
For only being 22-years-old, Brock Radford's resume is lengthy.
The Dewinton-raised, Longview resident has performed stunts on Fargo, AMC's Hell on Wheels, The Revenant starring Leonardo Decaprio and a Netflix movie called Hold The Dark, which was filmed in Alberta.
Of course, when he is on camera, he is only acting.
But the three seconds or so that he spent on a bull named Somethin' Cool?
And the moments he was flung into the air and onto the dirt at the Calgary Stampede's infield?
And those few seconds before he was able to pick himself up and get out of the way of the bull?
That was all real life.
Tuesday's opening day in Pool B competition was a tough one.
Seven of the 10 cowboys in the field were bucked off including Canadians Tyler Pankewitz of Ponoka, Prince Albert's Tanner Byrne, and Cody Coverchuk of Meadow Lake, Sask.
The winner — J.B. Mauney — had a score of 88 points on Bomb Shell.
"When you come up here, that first day, if it's your first time, it's a pretty big deal," Mauney said. "You have those jitters in you. When you get that first one under your belt, it's kind of alright, 'We know how to do this. We know what's going on. Now let's just ride bulls.'
"It fires me up every time I come here."
Ditto for Radford, who is basically a local.
"That's what makes it big for me," Radford said. "I grew up in Dewinton, and it's kind of on a hill that overlooked pretty much all of Calgary.
"I'm 25 minutes from the rodeo grounds from where I grew up, so I always wanted to go to the Stampede and watch, and my grandma was heavily involved in it.
Radford's father, Max, who is from Australia, has a transport business which works with incoming film crews in the Alberta area.
But Max Radford really got into the movie scene through his mother-in-law (Brock's grandma), Isabelle Miller, a two-time Canadian champion barrel racer and a pioneer of rodeo.
"She was in Shanghai Noon with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson and wrangled the horses and all the animals," Brock explained. "So when when my dad came over here (from Australia), he started wrangling on movies and rode horses and eventually switched."
And, of course, roped Brock into the business.
But this week at the Calgary Stampede, he has other goals.
"I've worked some movies with my Dad, so I'll do transport and I've done stunts before," Radford said. "But, yeah, that's not really my main career focus. If I need money in the winter, I'll go work stunt stuff. But I don't like thinking about that stuff right now.
"I'm having fun winning money and riding bulls."
After years of watching it from afar — and steadily climbing up the professional ranks — Radford finally qualified for his first Calgary Stampede by finishing top-four in the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association standings in 2016.
"It's been kind of a Great White Buffalo I've been chasing for a few years," Radford said. "It's the biggest rodeo in the world, but, for me, it's my hometown rodeo."
"I'm one of the weird ones that can honestly say I've dreamed of winning Calgary more than I've dreamt of winning a Canadian title."

Is this phone good for texting, the u600 seems to be a pain with texting.. anyone ? Most of the time I use texting... tia
is the camera better than the u600 coz i have heard it ent very good?
Hi everybody,
No matter what, samsung g600 has the dual mode bluetooth capability in which you can listen and your friend with a stereo bluetooth headset at the same time or listen music to your stereo bluetooth headset while sendind files to other phones or computers.Samsung G600 is the only phone which supports this kind of feature.
can you download your own message tones for this phone instead of having the standard ones
I'm in love with my new G600, got it yesterday - It's cute and has all the functions I need. The camera is great and the menu is easy to navigate. I'm a little gutted I won't be able to have worms as my text message alert but if that's all I can complain about then I'm ok. I think this will be a good phone to last out an 18month contract and won't date too soon.
Is this handset have touch sensitive buttons, or are they the normal mechanical type of the basic D900?
Also, how can I set the slider to lock the phone when it's closed, but not cancel a text message if I close the slider while it's sending?
Only one problem - How do I change the annoying MASSIVE analog clock on the home page to a nice sleek digital one?
To Aaron:
TV out means that you can connect your g600 to your TV with a cable and you can watch your pictures and videos recorded in your phone. On most phones equipped with this feature you are able to see on the TV eevn the menus and other features of your phone
I got the samsung g600 & sent it back the next day. I was expecting it to be a fantastic phone as it was an upgrade from my sony ericsson w800i but was very disappointed. The camera may be 5mp but it's rubbish, the 2mp camera on my sony ericsson w800i takes better quality pics than the g600 does. I downloaded the photos that I took with g600 onto my computer & they were rubbish quality. They were really blocky & fuzzy. The instruction book is absolutely rubbish & doesn't tell you how to do alot, you have to try & work it out yourself. I was very disappointed and will not be getting a samsung phone again.
i received this phone last week, and to be honest it has disappointed me, the camera is 5 mp but it doesnt take a good picture in doors, the speaker could be louder to, i wouldnt say it was a waste of money as you get everything you need included, i.e bluetooth headset, 1gb mem card. the phone is ok, but just not as good as what i thought it was gonna be, samsung need to pull their finger out as i am a samsung fan, but this may change if they dont improve :(
i got this fone last friday and to be honest im not in awe with it.its just like my old samsung D600 but with 5MP camera and screen colors increased to 16M.odawise an average fone.maybe what i heard was right that this fone was released in a rush before K850i.surely samsung should have improved the feature set.angry at 200 txt memory limit.camera quality is average too (as expected from such a small sensor samsung squeeze 5MP into it quality gta be bit rubbish) overall im not very happy with it always had high expectations from samsung esp if my last fone was D600
yep its defiantley avaliable to buy in the UK or my eyes were decieving me when i was in the vodafone shop on friday, it was avaliable on contract and pay as you talk for just £230 half the price of the nokia n95 that was £550 on pay as you talk, i also see it for sale in the carphone warehouse it was going for £299 sim free
Where are you guys buying the G600 from? It looks like it only sell in Europe
people who think this phone is rubbish needs there head testing WHY?, coz for starters it has . 5mp camera, decent video recording, an outstanding 16million tft screen, can play wma files, the only downsides for me r no 3G but thats not important as i dont go much on 3G anyway, n people who keep gabbling on about 4 msg tones r just annoying i only use vibrate for msgs as it saves battery power, done that on all my phones.

Yet considering make use of a beautiful and theref
Sometimes assuming to make use of a pretty also hairstyle.made up virgin brazilian hair of initial hair,All through early Egyptian or Victorian era, was expensive. That's the reason; they were restricted to higher and richer course women only. But now, time has modified quite a lot. Now, applying a mane is way silk base closure acceptable than preserving authentic just one.
But nevertheless there's a lot of adult females who think that making use of a profuse hair implant is far costlier than mundane one or different implementations on the unique hair like, coloring, trimming, styling, hair spa and so on. But in fact the realities are far beyond this sort of imaginations.
When you head over to attractiveness parlors or hair salons, then the traditional facts which you usually get carried out with all your unique hair are hair spa, trimming, structuring, layering, coloring, etcetera. that are regularly completed soon after every last four months and every time you could have to pay for it therefore, it without a doubt set you back a whole lot. But you never ever consider it economically. Same exact is considered the case with using a secular hair extension; which can't be put into use alot more than the moment, implies any time you one time take them off, you then http://vneshc.blog.com/2014/12/13/likewise-imagining-to-utilise-a-great-and-curly-hair/ are not able to utilize them once more as they get broken deeply.
But, in the event you use a quality Preferred Brazilian hair weaves or mane, then it may well final no less than as much as seven months without spending any supplemental price tag even if you have taken it off and wish to employ it once again. These Brazilian hair toupees may possibly be simply re-applied at any time inside that point length of seven months.
Thus, it drastically lessens your routine maintenance and selecting price tag which you possess to try and do in case of making use of an ordinary wig. Also, these extensions decrease the cost of trimming and coloring the original hair; which it is best to get finished once nearly every 3 or four months. As should you use an extravagant fine quality within the rug, malaysian straight hair extensions then they reduce your authentic hair from solar rays which could harm your first hair exceedingly a lot of and they are also protected from dust particles, which afterwards end up being the root produce of break up ant hair. Which success in right hair growth in really good premium.
So, if I say by this manner that you are literally reducing the expense of routine maintenance of original hair, then astray I'm not inappropriate in almost any feeling.

I had a management professor who admitted to having an obsessive personality. He told a story in class one time about how he was reorganizing the bookshelf once he realized that the books that he reached for most frequently were further away than the books he rarely looked at. His objective was to optimize his bookshelf setup to minimize the effort required by each reach. A little effort put in now to re-arrange the tomes based on personal popularity would be won back many times over by reduced reaching effort and distance for months to come. His wife saw what he was doing and summarily kicked him out of the house. She then went one further and insisted that he needed a hobby, preferably one outside where she wasn't. Given his propensity for productivity, she assigned him mowing the lawn, which had always been the responsibility of a landscaping service.
So off he went to mow the lawn. The next week when he went out to mow his wife saw him leave with a notepad. Then she saw him carrying the notepad every week for the next couple of months when he went out to cut the grass, and then scribbling in it as soon as he returned inside. Finally she confronted him about it, demanding to know what was on the pad. He showed her the tables he had written of mowing times for various permutations of his mowing trials: clockwise, counter clockwise, inside spiral, outside spiral, big box / little box, out and back runway and other mowing patterns he had conceived and named. "What on earth are you doing? You're just supposed to be mowing the lawn." He responded, "Honey, I am. And not only am I mowing." He pointed triumphantly at his table, "I think I have achieved The Perfect Mow."
You may never quite achieve The Perfect Email, but obsessing a little bit about your email program can be healthy and productive. The challenge comes from identifying which parts to obsess over. Priorities are difficult to set. What's worse, they are different for each organization. So instead of giving you advice on which components of your email program to obsess over, I'll give you instead what my obsessive management professor gave me – a framework for decision-making.
To start, make a list of everything you would like to change or improve about your email program. Your list might include "increase deliverability" or "add a preferences center" or "lift open rates". To determine what makes the list, use this test: if an intern showed up at your desk and said, "I can do this for you in a week, for free, and it won't take any of your time or other internal resources" would you let the intern have at it? If you would, add the item to your list.
Next, use the following three categories to determine how urgent each item on your list is, based on the magnitude of its impact, either to your results or to your strategy. Think of each of these categories as filters to help you measure the absolute importance of each item. Doing it this way helps you focus on which initiatives will translate into results, and keep you from checking off items that are easy to fix, but which don't have the same direct benefits on your email program:
Intelligent Neglect: If this item is on your list now, then it is something you haven't done before now as well. They might include a redesign to your email template to make it more contemporary, or the addition of social media links. Maybe it's a subscriber analysis that identifies who in your list has not responded to a message in the past six months, making them good candidates for a win-back campaign. Whatever it is, your program has survived without it so far – can it continue to do so? Is this item a nice to have, but not a need to have? Are you unsure of how your email program will improve if you implement this item? If the answer to these questions is Yes, the item is a good candidate for Intelligent Neglect. Keep it on your list and go after it opportunistically – if the resources suddenly free up, or if there is a way to roll it into a bigger project.
Focus: There may be some items on your list that as an email marketer you have long yearned for, but have not yet made the sacrifices necessary to implement. Maybe it's that preferences center you know would make your segmentation efforts easier and your messages more relevant. Or it might be the creation of a new niche newsletter that targets a small but strategically important segment of your list. To determine if an items deserves Focus, ask these questions: Will my email program see increased results as soon as I implement this? Are email programs I admire already doing this? Am I committing a brand failure by not offering this in my email program currently? If the answer to these questions is Yes, slot the item into the Focus category. These are priority items that need resources as soon as they become avaialable – maybe even earlier, as improvements grow from sacrifice.
Obsession: The final category is reserved for those items which compel you (or your CEO) to remark, "How in the world is it that we don't have this already?" At some organizations, it may be an email template that is optimized for mobile devices. Or it could be a new process for importing new subscribers into your email database, or allowing new subscriptions in the first place. These are your 3-alarm fires. Sound the alarm if the answer to these questions is Yes: Are you missing opportunities to grow or improve your business for each day that this item is not implemented? Does the absence of this item put you afoul of CAN-SPAM laws, or risk alienating subscribers? Are you the only company in your industry that has not yet implemented this initiative, and does its absence put you at a competitive disadvantage? Can money spent in other marketing channels be optimized if this item is in place? Allocate some time every day to move these projects forward, and share clear deadlines on each with marketing management to ensure they get done.
The lines between each of these categories are fuzzy, of course. In fact, I think of them more as a continuum. If it is difficult to determine what projects take precedence over others, try plotting them visually along a horizontal line, with "Intelligent Neglect" at the left, "Focus" in the middle and "Obesssion" at the far right. Mapping them visually might also help you find the resources you need to drive your "Obsession" and "Focus" items forward – just pull them out of the items in "Intelligent Neglect."

No Appalachian State giant-killers Saturday.
No upset alerts.
Just the little guys getting dominated by the No. 25 Miami Hurricanes on a gorgeous, 72-degree day amid the Blue Ridge Mountains and lush green woods.
Miami came out on fire, stayed smokin' hot the first half, faltered briefly in the third quarter and ultimately sizzled to a 45-10 victory over the Mountaineers.
It was UM's largest margin of victory on the road since a 48-9 win at Louisiana Tech in the 2003 season opener.
By the time the UM defense had all but smothered ASU with double-digit tackles for loss, the Canes (3-0) made it 38-10 late in the third quarter — and the Kidd Brewer Stadium record crowd of 34,658 began leaving.
"When both sides click," UM cornerback Corn Elder said of the defense (241 yards allowed) and offense (549), "we're a hard team to beat."
The Mountaineers (1-2) still had their glory moments — and the Canes their scary ones.
With Miami leading 24-3 early in the third quarter and the Canes at first-and-goal on the 1, UM quarterback Brad Kaaya was intercepted and injured his left knee on the play. Mountaineers linebacker John Law ran the pick back 60 yards before he was tackled by UM tight end David Njoku — as a dazed Kaaya limped off the field. ASU took advantage and scored on a 24-yard pass from Taylor Lamb to Barrett Burns to make it 24-10 with 8:41 left in the quarter.
The ASU fans who had been silenced woke up with a very loud jolt.
Hurricanes fans, however, likely held their collective breath while Kaaya bounced up and down on the sideline and did a little practice scampering. When the Canes' offense came back, so did he, leading his team to two subsequent third-quarter touchdowns and a fourth-quarter one — the first a 12-yard run by tailback Joe Yearby and the next an 8-yard pass to Stacy Coley that had fans packing up for good.
Kaaya, whose left knee was heavily wrapped after the game, was replaced by backup Malik Rosier with about seven minutes left in the final quarter. Kaaya completed 21 of 27 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns, with the interception.
He said the first indications were that there was no ACL injury.
"As far as I know he's OK,'' coach Mark Richt said. "We think he's OK. I'm not holding my breath right now that he may or may not be OK. I think he's OK. I don't know. You never know what the next day brings.''
Five players scored for the Hurricanes: Njoku, kicker Michael Badgley, receiver Coley (twice) and tailbacks Yearby and Mark Walton (twice).
UM true freshman Ahmmon Richards, who had what seemed like at the time a big drop in the third quarter, caught a 61-yarder two plays later, then shortly after that a 62-yarder. Richards ended the day with what appears to be an individual-game record for UM true freshmen: 142 yards on four catches.
With 7:34 left, UM had made five plays of at least 50 yards. All last season the Hurricanes had seven such plays.
It took UM exactly 12 seconds to make its first offensive statement, brought to U by Walton, who rushed for 130 yards and the two scores on 16 carries. The sophomore took UM's handoff from Kaaya, ran over Mountaineers safety A.J. Howard, then galloped 80 yards into the end zone.
"The O-line did a great job with the defensive line and linebackers,'' Walton said. "The safety came up, we just met him in the hole, and he came with all his might. I went low with him and bounced off the tackle, seen green grass and just took it.
"We knew we had to set the tone early. With their crowd, in their house, there was going to be some adversity. We just had to overcome it. We were ready.''
The touchdown was Walton's sixth of the season. He scored his seventh touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter.
The Canes have an off week before meeting Georgia Tech and its triple-option offense in Atlanta on Oct. 1.
"I look at it first as just getting all our guys back,'' said defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, whose defense had another impressive performance — including the true freshman linebackers — but still has players recuperating from injuries or surgery. "Let's get healthy in the week and get our full assortment of players available, and from there, yeah, certainly we'll take the time to coach [them] up in terms of what [the Yellow Jackets] do.
"And even if you do that, it's still going to be a challenge playing against them for the first time."

This issue further reflects upon the tropes of botany and zoology, expanding them through the lens of an exhibition held at the IFA Gallery in Stuttgart, Germany, in two ways --- firstly, the colonial history of institutions such as world expositions, gardens and museums, where they become sites for knowledge-production, and secondly, by exploring the recent history of the hyper-relationship with nature via issues such as sustainability, nature trails, wildlife and so forth.
Moreover, through a project involving a house designed in New Delhi, the issue delves into the questions addressing urban clutter, the context of location, and dealing with privacy and chaos in a neighbourhood. In another example of a housing project, located in Lonavala (a town near Mumbai), an emphasis is laid upon the optimisation and maximisation of available space, attempting to provide a range of habitation, material, and design options – elements that the current housing market rarely offers – thereby allowing a sense of shared dwelling that is congruously connected yet sufficiently private.

Earlier today, LIB reported that the estranged husband of actress Mimi Orjiekwe, Charles Billion, was expecting another child with a US-based woman who coincidentally is also known as Mimi.
Anyway, new facts disclosed to LIB reveals that Charles had a baby months before his wedding to actress Mimi Orjiekwe.
According to an inside source, Charles got a top female police officer in Lagos pregnant and the woman whose name LIB will not be revealing, came forward with claims that she was pregnant for Charles. The woman actually called Mimi but the actress thought she was just one of those women who want to kill the joy of another woman.
Initially, he denied it but after a while, Charles confessed to Mimi after their wedding had taken place. Mimi forgave him and accepted him. The top police officer gave birth to a girl.
The source added that Mimi found out about Charles's US soon-to-be babymama on LIB today and has been in shock. According to the source, Charles and Mimi have been trying to mend their marriage that has experienced many troubles since it was contracted in July 2015. Charles has gone to her father to plead with him and also met with her friends to help him beg Mimi so that their marriage can work. All the while, she did not know that he had impregnated another "Mimi" in the US.

She has a house of her own.
Her cutlery, her couch,
And probably her own car keys.
She doesn't rely on anyone for anything.
She gets up early, grateful for another day.
She prepares and leaves for work.
She could be a businesswoman or an employee in a firm.
Always busy, never an idle mind.
She knows how hard it is to make a coin.
You won't see her begging.
Whether mid-month or end-month.
She only spends what she earns.
Whatever she does, her mind is always set for a goal.
To achieve more than what she had the previous day.
To attract more clients at her firm.
She does everything whole hearted.
She's brilliant and works hard.
She takes commands with little or no questions.
She's not the dumb type, she just knows when to speak.
The character that many want to be associated with.
Things like relationships don't bother her too much.
She could be in one, or 'out of' one.
Whatever the situation, she's comfortable with her state.
As long as she's happy, all is well.
She knows what being modern means.
From her wardrobe, to her method of operating things.
She is admired by many, and criticized by a few.
All in all, she's independent.

Equipped with only the bare essentials of a MC50 midi sequencer and with the support of passionate people around him, he began experimenting more and more with his gear. His musical influences span from jazzy rhythms to experimental moods, from classical and orchestral arrangements to dub delays. One thing is certain, he likes to vary and be versatile.

Fight Winter Blues and SAD with Fun Activities for the Family
It's hard to avoid the winter blues once in a while, no matter how much you love the snow. But sometimes, those winter blues can develop into seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is something to pay attention to in your child. Here are some tips to help you determine whether or not it's time to consider consulting a doctor, as well as some fun activities to alleviate the winter blues.
What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?
Let's start with the basics! SAD is a type of depression that appears in the autumn and winter months as daylight hours dwindle. It lifts as the weather gets warmer and the sun makes more of an appearance each day. Approximately 6 percent of the population experiences SAD. Although there is no known cause, it is thought to be linked to the rising and setting of the sun in relation to the body's natural sleep cycle.
What are the signs to look for?
It is important to note that the following symptoms may be indicative of a simple case of winter blues. However, you know your child best. If your child's symptoms persist for weeks or seem relatively severe, it may be time to consult his or her doctor. Here are some things to watch for in your child as winter drags on and the sun doesn't make an appearance in a while:
- Eating habit shifts: SAD typically causes a craving for simple carbohydrates, such as sugary foods like cake, syrups, candy, and other comfort food. SAD also tends to trigger overeating.
- Mood changes: Your child may seem more irritable or disengaged than usual. Depending on your child's age, watch for warning signs like an increased amount of crying, difficulty concentrating on schoolwork, and a lack of interest in his or her favorite activities.
- Excessive fatigue: As your child gets up in the morning, if he or she is having more difficulty than usual, pay attention. Watch his or her energy levels throughout the day and make note of any unusual amounts of fatigue.
- Less time socializing: If your child seems to be pulling away from friends or activities he or she usually enjoys, this may be a sign of SAD.
An important thing to be aware of is that these symptoms may not always be indicative of SAD. For example, if your child has been spending less time with friends, there may be a different underlying cause. The symptoms also may be triggered by winter blues. As previously mentioned, monitor these symptoms closely. If they persist for weeks and grow more severe, consider consulting a physician. Sometimes, simple techniques such as light therapy may be used to ease mild symptoms until spring.
Activities to Beat the Winter Blues
If your child does appear to simply have a case of the winter blues that most of us experience, there are some great activities you and your family can enjoy together. Get outside, or bring the outside indoors!
Get outside!
Just because it's cold doesn't mean you can't get outside! Here are some fun things you can do outdoors that will help you forget the chill.
- Take a "Staycation field trip" in your own backyard! Develop a scavenger hunt or have a learning-centered snow day.
- Have an adult set up a fire pit outside and make s'mores. Create a s'mores bar with additional s'mores ingredients, like bananas, strawberries, or peanut butter. Be sure to always have an adult present for supervision.
- Go bird watching at your local park, or build a bird feeder in your own backyard. Bring some bird seed from the store, or you can use foods like peanuts, cracked corn, and fruit.
- Paint the yard with snow paint. All you need are a few squeeze bottles, water, and food coloring. Fill as many squeeze bottles as you need with water, and then place a few drops of different food coloring shades into each bottle—and you have snow paint!
- Play freeze tag. You remember the rules of "tag, you're it"! But with freeze tag, you're frozen until another player unfreezes you. Play with at least three players.
- Build an igloo together. If you're snowed in, don't let that stop you from being outside! Just make sure you supervise your child if he or she chooses to do this alone.
- Play capture the flag. This is another great game to get everyone's blood flowing and forget about the chill. Find a large area, ideally wooded or not too open, and have fun.
- Hunt for animal prints to identify. Take a track identification guide to the nearest park or trail and keep your eyes peeled for prints. You can look up track identification guides specific to your state or region to make identification easier.
Bring the outside indoors!
If it's just too cold to get outside, keeping your child engaged and connected to the outdoors can help ease SAD and the winter blues. Here are some fun ways to bring the outdoors into the warmth while the wind is howling.
- Get ready for a day at the (indoor) beach with swimwear, beach towels, and more! Bring the outdoors inside for the day with beach balls, ocean-scented candles, and summer music. Alternatively, you could go to an indoor water park in your area.
- Start your own indoor garden. Grow celery in a dish, make a Mason jar terrarium, or create a garden in a juice box. Check out these fun ideas and get growing.
- Set up an indoor hopscotch course with painter's tape. It won't damage your floors, and it'll get your child moving. It might even take you on a trip down memory lane!
- Set up a campsite in your living room and bring the outside indoors (and camp without the creepy crawlers). Tape some glow-in-the-dark stars to the ceiling, start up the fireplace, get a good book to read aloud, and turn out all the lights.
- Put together an indoor croquet course made of painter's tape, cardboard tubes, and other household items. Have your child help you create the course pieces, and let him or her choose where to place each obstacle.
- Create a cardboard box town from extra cardboard, markers, building blocks, dolls, toy cars, and anything else you may have around the house.
- Have an indoor picnic play-date. Invite your child's friends over for a day of food and fun. Pull out some board games, lay out a blanket, and invite parents to bring their child's favorite snack. Here are some recipes to get you started.
- For those especially cold days, make a newspaper snowman. Get out all of your old newspapers, bundle them into three large balls, tape them together, and dress up your paper man with household items.
- Create a winter activity hanging calendar. Bring the winter inside and always have a fun activity planned!
What do you and your family do to quell the winter blues? Let us know in the comments below.

Dr. Vibha Krishnamurthy: Miles to go before I sleep!
Dr. Vibha Krishnamurthy, developmental pediatrician and founder and medical director of Ummeed Child Development Center believes that all children with developmental disabilities can be included in society and reach their maximum potential if given the chance. She talks to Vibha Singh about her journey…
Saad, suffering from Down syndrome is five and a half years old and goes to a special school. What for others are simple tasks, were often huge challenges for Saad. In the two years from 2013-2015 after being part of the Ummeed's Early Intervention Center (EIC), he has overcome many hurdles. He can now wear his own glasses, read from books and feed himself and make his own choices. But there are many like him who are not so lucky. As there are over 52 million children in India with developmental disabilities and over 650,000 in Mumbai alone. Out of these, not even a quarter have access to quality care.
Q- What was the inspiration behind starting Ummeed?
During my fellowship in Boston I was struck by the disparity between services available to children with disabilities in India compared to US. When I returned this spurred me to start an organization that could provide services for children with disabilities and their families in India.
Q- What exactly do we mean by developmental delay?
A- Child development has stages that almost every child goes through regardless of when it happens. A child with developmental delay will go through the same stages just at a different time. It is a condition where a child is delayed in attaining the require age appropriate milestone in the specific age beyond the standard deviation. A simple example is that a child is 12 months old and he has not achieved the sitting balance, then the child is considered as a case of developmental delay. But if he is slightly or only temporarily lagging, that it is included in the delayed milestone category. There are six stages of child development which includes gross motor, fine motor, cognition, social-emotional, speech and activities of daily living. Delay can occur in one or many of these milestones.
Q- What is the importance of early intervention in these cases?
It is never too early. When a problem is identified and the children are put into an early intervention program the faster the child's improvement. The first 3 to 6 years of a child's life are most critical in development. If we identify delays in development early we can do a lot to help children develop to the best of their ability. As children learn by interacting with the world around them. By speaking with others, playing with toys and engaging in fun activities, children develop skills that help them learn and grow. When a child finds it difficult to engage with others due to challenges such as poor communication skills, poor coordination skills, low attention span, or behavioral issues, their ability to learn and acquire important skills may be compromised.
Q-When should the parents worry about the child's development?
Parents and care takers are always the first persons to notice that something is wrong. Act on this doubt. Go to the concerned well-informed professionals . Get your doubts clarified by the appropriate professional with substantial informative answers. Have the child evaluated.
Q- What are the activities undertaken at Ummeed?
Services for children with disabilities and their families, training for all parents and professionals working with children, advocacy and research.
Q- What kind of training are you providing to the social workers and your team?
A-The aim of the training programmes is to increased sensitization and awareness about developmental disabilities amongst all stakeholders. Supporting parents in learning about disabilities, advocating for their child, and effectively facilitating their child's development and creating greater awareness among policy makers.
Q- What are the challenges faced by the organisation?
To provide quality services we need to pay our professionals well. Finding and keeping good professionals is a challenge. We also struggle to build awareness about the issue of childhood disability amongst common persons, funders and the government. Lack of awareness among the society and medical professionals which resulted in total neglect in this very crucial area of early childhood development and prevention of developmental disabilities. The other most important issue is the lack of understanding on the need and benefits of external stimulation of children such as hugging the child, speaking to the child, etc. during infancy.
Q- How supportive has been government in your efforts?
So far our liaison with the government had been through our work with BMC schools to include children with disability. We have also worked with the government through the RCI and National Trust, both government bodies that advocate for the rights of children with disability.
Q- How do we compare ourselves globally providing support to children with developmental disability?
India has a very long way to go with respect to both attitudes towards and services for children with disability. Yet persons with disability, parents of children with disability and NGOs like ours have done much to change the landscape over the last two decades.
Q- Tell us something about the Ummeed walk?
The Ummeed walk is our biggest event for awareness building and fund raising. This year we walked 55 km in South Goa over 12 hours with more than 150 people. The walk is popular for its scenic beach route and the fun and frolic walkers have apart from the money it raises for children with disabilities. The walkers walk 3.5 hours until lunch-time with like-minded people. After lunch, walkers walk to the southern tip and back, enjoying the sunset and, waves. The next walk is scheduled in January 2018.
Q- How has been your journey in past five years?
The past five years have seen a huge growth at Ummeed and emerging awareness about child development among parents and professionals. We have supported nearly 1100 families and conducted 7,000 clinical sessions each year.
Q- What are your future plans?
We are organizing the second International Developmental Pediatrics Association Congress in Mumbai in December 2017. The theme of conference would be 'A World of Difference' where professionals from disciplines working with children would explore the continuum of developmental differences in childhood, children at risk and with disabilities. Many issues would be discussed here which would help bridge the gaps in policy, practice and research that exist between low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).

After a three week break during which my wife, Caroline gave birth to our second son, Ciaran, I am back in action for the last time in 2007. It is my usual end of season tournament, the Target World Challenge or Tiger's tournament which it is also known as. I have played here for the last seven years and performed quite well, having won it once and finished in the top three a number of times. Normally I come into this event at the end of a run of tournaments but this time it is different as I have been at home for three weeks. It was busy as our second son arrived and also I had a number of interviews and other commitments that kept me on the go. I launched my book which also took up quite a bit of time, however I did manage to get in some practice during my time off and as it is nearly the end of the season I began working on some technical changes. This is not normally a good sign for my performance in a tournament, as it normally takes me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things.
I traveled out on Sunday to the States and spent a couple of days in San Francisco doing a company day and catching up with my friends out there. I traveled down to L.A. on Tuesday, so my first look at the course this year was on Wednesday in the pro-am. I played the pro-am on Wednesday morning with a different Flood on my bag; Kitt, Ronan's brother filled in for him as Ronan hurt his back and was actually in doubt for the week until he got some treatment on Tuesday. It is a course that I know very well and so it is not one that I need to play too many times in practice.
The Course
This is a funky course, not what we are used to playing week in and week out on the tour. There a number of holes where anything can happen, holes that you can just as easily make a birdie on as a double bogey. That's why it makes for good viewing. One of the trickiest things about this course is the extreme elevation changes, some of the holes have 20 yard changes from the tees to the fairway and then from the fairway to the greens.
On this course every hole has a potential disaster lying around the corner and as a result I could tell you to pay particular attention to them all but the ones for me that are worth a look at as they will no doubt have a big say in the outcome of the event come Sunday are the 15th, 16th and 18th.
The fifteenth is the signature hole of the course really; it's the one that everyone remembers. It is a 185 yard par three that is played over a canyon, anything short or right is in the water; the green is only 20 yards deep and slopes from back to front so if you hit it big you have a very difficult up and down. This is a hole that you are happy to make par on, in general you are trying to hit your tee shot twenty feet past the flag. It is a great looking hole when you are watching but when you are standing there hitting the shot it is tough, as the green looks no bigger than a postage stamp.
The sixteenth is a par five but not your normal par five as you will hardly see any players hitting a driver off the tee here. For me it is nearly always a five wood from the tee which should leave me another five wood or a three wood into a long narrow green that is protected by a big tree on the left and a water hazard all down the right. This is a hole that you feel you should be making a birdie on but if you try too hard you can easily rack up a big number. This one is best played conservatively from the tee and then see how you lie.
The 18th as always will be a crucial hole, it measures 446 yards. This hole is no give away, in fact it is as a good finishing hole as you will get any where. You know that you don't have anything won until you have finished this hole as you could end up taking any number on it. The tee shot is tight again and is normally not a driver as it narrows in at driver range; with trees left and right it is important to hit the fairway; anything left or right is dead. Having hit the fairway you then have anything from a 5 iron to a 9 iron into a tiered and sloping green with water in front of it and like the 15th anything big means it is nearly impossible to get up and down. There is no real bail out shot here; you have to take on the shot as there is no easy up and down. It is a hole that you would happily take 4 pars and walk away.
This is a great course for a tournament like this as there is a small field and the players are more relaxed than at a regular tour event. As there are five par fives it means that there will be plenty of birdies and eagles and with the fast and undulating greens you will see plenty of putts holed and plenty missed so all in all it makes for a great week.
I am coming here after my longest break of the year and it is also my last event for 2007. For the players that are here it is like our Christmas party, everyone is here to play well and enjoy themselves and if they don't play well it's not the end of the world. This is the attitude that I am taking this week; I will be trying to get myself into contention so as to give myself a chance of finishing the year on a high note but if it doesn't go as I would like I will not be beating myself up.
Padraigs Tour Diary...
My season has come to an end and what a year it has been; my last tournament didn't quite go as I would have liked it to but then considering that I came into the event after having three weeks off it was not a big surprise to me. I came to the Target World Challenge with limited expectations but had hopes of doing well as I have performed well here in the past. In the end, hope and my previous record were not enough to guide me to a strong finish to the year.
The pro-am was the first round of golf I played since the final round of the Dunlop Phoenix, which was a break of 24 days. This coupled with the technical practise that I had done during that break made getting into tournament mode very difficult. When I teed it up on Thursday I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was torn between thinking about the technical stuff I had been doing and just thinking about my target and forgetting about all the practise. I knew that for me to perform at my best and give myself the best chance of wining the event come the final day that I should approach it the same as I have done all year and not get technical. However it is easier said than done. I really struggled the first day as I couldn't get things right in my head, some shots I would be purely focused on my target and then some I would be thinking about the practise I have done. This made scoring very tough as my head was scrambled and everything felt like a battle. I opened up with a par and then hit my second in the water on the second to take a bogey six. Throughout the round I was finding the course very difficult, which considering that most years I find this course relatively easy it was a real sign that my head was all over the place. I rallied with a few birdies on the back nine to recover from two over at one stage in the round to finish on one under. When I finished it felt like a terrible round but when I looked at the scoring it wasn't that bad and I was only three shots behind. When I looked back at my round I knew that I had left a number of shots out there as I had three putted a couple of times and also hit a few poor chip shots, but I was happy with a round of 71.
Friday was much better than the first day. There was no wind at all and the pins seemed to be a lot easier. I was getting a bit better as regards my head but still not anything like I would have liked it to be. I was out in four under and then birdies on the 11th and 13th put me six under for the round and seven under for the tournament. I was cruising along and it all seemed so easy. On the 14th I hit my second shot to 20 feet left of the pin and in a mad moment I hit my putt 12 feet past and then missed the one back. This killed all my momentum and in the end I struggled to par my way in, holing a couple of good par putts and missing a good chance on the 16th for another birdie. I was disappointed with my score when I finished but even more so when I looked at the leaderboard as the scoring was very good; I didn't make any ground up on the people in front of me and I finished the day seven behind Tiger after his round of 62. Tigers round effectively finished the tournament for everyone as he had such a commanding lead. We were all pretty much playing for position. I finished the day lying fourth on six under; all things considered it wasn't too bad.
Having got myself into a reasonable position over the first couple of days, the weekend was not kind to me. My rounds over the weekend were more of what I would expect after all the work I did in the previous three weeks and my poor preparation in the build up to the event caught up with me. Rounds of 75 and 73 dropped me from fourth place after two rounds to tenth place after four rounds. In my third round I had a bit of melt down in the opening few holes; I three putted the first for bogey and then made a bad par on the second but my real disaster came on the third hole, which was really the end of my tournament for me. I was being a bit aggressive with the club selection and as a result I took on too much and was going at the pin. I took a four iron and pushed it into the water right and then did the same again; With my third ball from the tee I pulled it left and actually made a very good up and down for a quadruple bogey seven. I followed this up with a three putt bogey on the next to put me six over for the day. In the end I managed to get three shots back and shoot 75; the funny thing was that I should have still managed to break par with the way I played from the seventh on, as I missed a few good chances coming in. Sundays round was not as exciting, I made a few birdies and got myself to five under through 14 holes but then I finished poorly. I hit a bad tee shot on the par three 15th which cost me a bogey and a badly judged third shot on the 16th cost me another. To round it all off I three putted the 18th to finish on two under for the week. The only consolation about my finish was that even if I had parred my way in I still would have finished in the same position. All in all the week went pretty much how I would have expected it too as I hadn't really prepared properly.
It wasn't quite how I would have liked to finish the season off but I am not worrying about it. I knew I wasn't really ready to play a tournament going in so I can't be annoyed with my performance. I am off for four weeks now, it is time to recharge the batteries and take it easy. I can sit back now and reflect on what was the biggest year of my career; since July I haven't had too much time to myself to sit back and really enjoy the fact that I am the British Open Champion. It has been a year that I will never forget. Winning the Irish Open was very special but to go in the same year and win The Open was unbelievable.
Talk to you all soon, have a great Christmas and good golfing in 2008!

Following the tournament, a Prairie Athletic Conference All-Star award was presented to SunDogs student athlete Ben de Gala.
"I am both honoured and surprised," de Gala said in response to receiving the award.
When the season started de Gala was a veteran athlete on the team. He is currently enrolled in the Adult Basic Education program to finish upgrading and pursue his post-secondary education.
"This year we played better as a team and I know my game has improved a lot," said de Gala. "This was possible because of Coach (Mark) Benesh. He has helped all of us improve in every aspect of the game."
After hard-fought battles in Moose Jaw, both basketball teams were unable to secure the provincial title.
The men's team was fourth in league play and met the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon Campus Amuraks in the quarter final at Provincials. They played well and de Gala led the SunDogs with a career high of 28 points and four rebounds. However, they came up short and lost 67-60.
Moving to the B-side, the SunDogs met Bethany College and were down and trailing 38-24 at half-time. Despite losing de Gala to an ankle injury, they fought back to narrow the lead by 10 points midway in the fourth quarter.
The SunDogs dominated the last five minutes of game play with six points from both Jordan Braun and Logan Tisdale. Brent Kerslake contributed five points. A win was within their reach with a shot at the buzzer. However, the shot bounced off the rim ending the season.
The women's team advanced to an exciting final game that matched the skill and youth of the SunDogs with the experience, size and depth of their opponents, Millar Edge. The SunDogs led throughout the tightly contested game. Millar took the lead with less than three minutes remaining on the clock. The SunDogs cut the lead down to a two-point difference. They had two chances at the end of the game to win or tie the game. Unfortunately the offensive rebounds bounced off the rim. The score was 51-49.
The SunDogs Athletics program provides student athletes with an opportunity to achieve both athletic and academic goals while attending Great Plains College. Repeatedly proving to be real winners both on and off the court, student athletes continually demonstrate a dedication to success and teamwork.
Located at the Swift Current Campus, the SunDogs student athletes are a vital contributor to the life, vitality and enthusiasm of the campus and community. Great Plains College is the only regional college in Saskatchewan participating in the Prairie Athletic Conference, a varsity program that supports and promotes student athletes.

28 May Brisbane WordPress SEO – First Step To SEO Your Site
What's the first step in SEO? This may sound a little silly, especially if you live in a metropolis like Brisbane, but it's getting yourself listed in the Google database.
Yep. This simple step is often overlooked when you are trying to SEO your WordPress install. It's true that Google spiders search the internet and more often than not detect new sites but may find it hard if they are not referenced anywhere. Directory sites (like TrueLocal) will sometime pick up your site but most of them scavenge Google to fill their pages. So you can either wait for the Google spider or…
Some hosting providers consider WordPress SEO when they offer packages and so present your site for submission to Google and other providers- for a fee. This is highway robbery of the digital age- reminiscent of the times when you had to pay Yahoo! to get your site "considered" for their "high and mighty" hierarchical site (ungh).
Search Engine Optimisation in WordPress, in Brisbane or otherwise, can be begun with simple steps and, as long as there is no competition, can be done easily by the user. The real challenge is when there IS competition or time is at a premium. Then you'd need our services in order to keep yourself competitive.
Because if there is even ONE other business that does what you do then your going to have to do more than the basics to stay on top!

Double amputee military vet Noah Galloway became the "Dancing with the Stars" breakout star last season—and he convinced another American hero to give the ballroom a try.
Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, who with two friends bravely tackled and disarmed an alleged terrorist on a European train, told FOX411 before the "DWTS" season 21 premiere (airing this Monday night) that Galloway is his inspiration.
"I hadn't watched the show before, but while [producers] were talking me into it, they gave me Noah's number and I talked to him a little bit and he helped talk me into it," Skarlatos said in an exclusive interview.
"He's really cool. Hearing it from another military person--how much fun it was and how much he learned on the show--was kind of a great tool that he used to convince me."
Skarlatos also said that he was ready to pursue something lighthearted, thinking, "It's dancing, it will be fun, I'll learn something new, it will keep me busy for awhile."
And he revealed the Army National Guard had generously given him "a lot of leeway to do the show. They've pretty much said do what you need to do."
Skarlatos shot to fame with his longtime buddies Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler after they courageously jumped up and subdued a gunman with an AK-47 while traveling on a train from Amsterdam to Paris.
The military man, who was vacationing with his two friends in August after he'd completed a mission to Afghanistan, still can't believe the acclaim they've received for their actions.
"I didn't even think it was that big of a deal," Skarlatos said modestly. "I thought they'd take us to the police station to question us and then we'd go on our vacation like nothing happened."
Instead, Skarlatos found himself in the center of a never-ending media storm—and discovered some famous fans.
"I met Arnold Schwarzenegger two nights ago and had dinner with him," he told FOX411 on Thursday.
"Donald Trump gave us a shout out on Twitter which was really cool.
"So much has happened. It's been crazy and exciting."
And now, Skarlatos is lacing up his dance shoes.
The Army National Guardsman said his "work ethic" has been his strength so far in DWTS rehearsals with partner Lindsay Arnold but his weakness "is everything else."
He added, "Rehearsals are fantastic. She's a great teacher [but] it is hard."
Arnold told FOX411, "He works really hard and he can hear counts in music, which is amazing. And he also takes direction really well. I think his weakness is he's little stiff-- because he's got those muscles--so we're trying to loosen him up a little bit and get him more flowy."
Skarlatos, 22, said he has no dance experience whatsoever—not even freestyling.
"The town I come from doesn't even have [night]clubs," laughed the Oregon resident.
Skarlatos said his fellow train hero friends weren't jealous about his "DWTS" participation, adding, "They're making a lot of fun of me but secretly, deep down, they're hoping I do well. They are excited for me."
"DWTS'" female fans might also be excited that the handsome hero doesn't have a girlfriend right now.
His partner Arnold, who recently got married, said she's making the warrior ballroom ready by insisting he get a shave.
Skarlatos smiled, "If I had any say, I wouldn't be clean-shaven right now."
Meanwhile, he, Stone, and Sadler continue to receive accolades. Skaralatos said on September 17, they will be honored at the Pentagon and "afterwards we're going to the White House. We're not 100 percent that we're going to meet the President yet, but fingers crossed."
Meanwhile, FOX News will air a Kelly File special on Friday night, 9/11, about the three brave young men.
Skarlatos explained that the friends agreed doing the big joint sit-down interview with FOX was a no brainer. "We all like FOX News and Megyn Kelly has a lot of viewers so we were like, yeah, why not do that one…and hopefully not have to do any more."
But Skarlatos will face much different questions on Monday night—about his dancing debut on ABC.


text: I have been married to my husband for almost two years; we are about to celebrate our second anniversary in April. Unfortunately, I finally realized last week that he has been abusive physically on occasion and nearly daily verbally/emotionally abusive almost from the day we were married. I truly didn't see it until I stumbled across someone else's post on Facebook and realized that nearly all the indicators of abuse were present in my marriage. I am in shock; I got myself and my cat out of our home last night because I felt unsafe with his behavior. Today I kept an appointment with his therapist and barely touched on the abuse. He immediately had me call a hotline and they told me my options were to have him arrested or to get out of town immediately. I had to borrow a friend's car, and all I have is my cat, the clothes on my back, my wallet, phone and computer, and $80 but I am safe at my parents. I am so utterly horrified; I know part of this is caused by an underdiagnosed mental illness and poor medication, but I am frightened of my own husband, who I should be able to trust with my life. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with the aftermath, whether it's possible for abusive behavior to truly be eradicated or not, or any suggestions at all, I am all ears. Thank you for listening to me.

School Stress
School transition pressure!
By Phoebe Bound, Elissa Hofer, Beth Brewster, Millie Thompson Scott and Rosemary Hill
Recent surveys have revealed panic and worry for pupils undergoing the transition between Year 6 and Year 7. In some areas of the UK, Year 6 students take the 11+ to decide if they are to go to a grammar school or a comprehensive school. This can increase the pressure by a great deal.
Pupils from Rainham Mark Grammar School have discovered that 60% of the 25 Year 7 students interviewed, find the transition between Year 6 and Year 7 'scary' and they feel 'nervous' when beginning their new journey. Most of them find the overload of homework 'too much' or 'too stressful'. This then leads to them worrying or getting flustered.
According to the BBC, 65% of primary pupils find school to be a positive experience; however we found that only 27% of secondary school students think this. John, a Year 7 pupil said, "It is exciting at first but then it becomes more stressful later on as expectations grow."
In Year 7 the children spend about 45-90minutes a day on homework. Millie- a student at Rainham Mark Grammar School - quoted," we shouldn't have as much homework because we need time to relax our minds so they are fully charged for the next day, and so we can spend more time with our families."
Homework has increased for the Year 7's a large deal since primary school, they are finding this difficult to manage, as they are still only children. All of the pressure is building up and making it harder for the children to be organised. Miss Henry (the head of year 7) stated that "if children are struggling to get organised, I get a 6th form student to help them by insuring that they have the correct books and equipment."
After asking the opinions of a few other teachers at RMGS, we discovered that although the students may be pressured, they are all capable and are able to complete the tasks and to overcome the worries of Year 7. Mr Coker-an English teacher –says that he believes that "the pressure of students at school is managed well; however it is still difficult coping with the change in expectations. Secondary schools could also work with primary schools in helping pupils prepare for secondary school in the areas of making new friends or the increase in homework."
Mr McDowell, who is another English teacher at Rainham Mark, has experienced the difference between comprehensive schools and grammar schools in respect to the workload, and the jump from primary school to secondary school. Year 7 students are definitely under pressure but I believe that they can cope with it and I am always impressed by how clever and polite they are."
We interviewed two Year 6 pupils from Thames View Primary School, to ask them what they thought about moving up to secondary school. Hollie said, "I feel excited about going to secondary school, and not really scared. But I'm worried about the size of the school, and that I might get lost. I am looking forward to seeing some of my friends from my previous school as they are going to my new school. I think it will be easy to make new friends, as well."
