Title of Children's Book: Shin-Chi's Canoe
Author(s) of Children's Book: Nicola I. Campbell (Illustrator: Kim LaFave)
Brief Summary of the Book:
The book is based on the residential school system. Shin-chi is the main character and he has an older sister named Shi-Shi-etko. The children were going to be taken away from their family on a cattle truck and taken to the Indian Residential School. Throughout the story, the author talks about how the children had to be taken away from their parents, to go to the residential school – as it was the law at the time. Shin-chi's father had always taken the children on canoe trips and each of the children wanted a canoe for themselves. The children were determined to learn the skill of canoeing on their own and wanted to each own their very own canoe. Before being taken away on the cattle truck, the children were sent to have their hair cut, so they went up to the mountain. When the children arrived back home, the cattle truck was waiting. With tearful eyes, the father had carved out a small canoe for the kids. When the two children were sent off on the truck and had arrived, the older sister gave her younger brother the hand-carved canoe. She told him that he needed to keep it safe and hidden. Shin-chi's older sister had to gently remind him that he was unable to speak to her until they returned home, it was hard for the children as they would see each other out and about but were not able to talk with one another. The seasons changed and it was soon winter. Shin-Chi went down to a nearby river with his carved canoe, taking it out and placing it into the open water or onto the ice. The canoe was symbolic in the way that it reminded him of his father and home. When the day finally came for the children to return home, the family was overjoyed. Greeted by their mother and grandmother, the children were confused and had asked, where is our father? To which their mother responded with, "Your dad is in the woodshed." (pg.31). Both Shin-Chi and his older sister, Shi-Shi-etko went into the shed to find that their father had carved them their very own canoe.

Title of Children's Book:"Tar Beach"
Author(s) of Children's Book: Faith Ringgold
Brief Summary of the Book:
Tar Beach the story of a young African American girl growing up in the 1930s in Harlem, New York. She lives in an apartment with her parents and her younger brother, Bebe, where they make the best of their low socioeconomic status, having barbeques on the roof of their apartment, which they call "tar beach". The story explores the issues of racial, social, and industrial segregation in America prior to the civil rights movement, and her father's challenges finding work, entering unions, and ultimately providing for his family.
Every night, the girl dreams of flying through the New York skyline, which stands as a metaphor for a longing for freedom and opportunity. When she flies through the sky, she imagines that whatever she flies over becomes her property. She imagines a world in which the factory that her father works at, the building he helped to build, and even an ice cream factory, all belong to her family. She imagines a future in which her family has greater opportunity and influence in society.
Though her family experiences discrimination, they gain friends in Mr. and Mrs. Honey, a childless family, who live in the same building. They share food and experiences with the family, participating in the rooftop barbecues. This suggests that although business and industry present barriers in society, there is an opportunity for fairness and change resides in the daily interactions of individual citizens. There is hope for fairness and a better future for everyone.

Title of Children's Book: The Story of Ferdinand
Author(s) of Children's Book: Munro Leaf
Brief Summary of the Book:
The Story of Ferdinand is a story of a young bull who lives with his mother and other young bulls in a pasture in Spain. Ferdinand likes to spend most of his days under his favourite cork tree quietly smelling flowers. Whereas the other young bulls seem to prefer rumble, tumble kind of play (e.g., running and bucking). One day, after years went by, 5 men came out to the pasture to select the bull for a bullfight that was to happen in Madrid. The men were looking for the most ferocious bull they could find for this fight. Ferdinand did not care to be selected for this competition while the other bulls competed with one another for the attention of the 5 men. As it happened, the passive and seemingly recluse Ferdinand was stung by a bee which in turn sent him into a violent fit of rage and the 5 men decided that Ferdinand would be the best bull for the fight. Little did the 5 men know, this rage from this beast is not typical behaviour of Ferdinand; in fact, quite the opposite is true. Ferdinand was expected to fight the Matador in the ring but instead Ferdinand chose to sit and smell the flowers that were tossed into the ring. Despite all efforts to make Ferdinand angry enough to fight, it was all for naught.

Learning About Economic Class & Fairness:
Title of Children's Book: In Coal Country
Author(s) of Children's Book: Judith Hendershot
Brief Summary of the Book:
This book focuses more on the economic class of poverty. It is from the perspective of a coal miner's daughter. She talks about her life throughout each season of the year. From the perspective of a child, she talks about all of the fun and friends she has, but you can see the struggle that a family in the poor/working class in some of her experiences. As the daughter narrates her life in a positive mood, it does not have a bias towards her lifestyle or the lifestyle of others. While there are a few gender roles in place in this book, it is emphasized that both parents are hard working. I feel like this is a good book for a child to read, because it discusses economic class in a way that they will understand, and also in a way that does not put down people who do live this way.

Title of Children's Book): And Tango Makes Three
Author(s) of Children's Book: Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell
Brief Summary of the Book:
It takes place in New York, at the Central Park Zoo. It begins by talking about different human families going to see, different animal families present in the zoo. The book specifically focuses on penguin families. There are two male penguins that fall in love. It explains how they are just the same as all the other families, and do all the same things as the other families. Although when the male and female partners start to have babies, the two males aren't able to lay an egg. So the zookeeper brings them an extra egg. The two male penguins hatch and raise the baby together. This book is based on a true story and I think you can still go see the family of three at the zoo.

This book is based on a true story. In the book I chose, there is a new student named Davie. Davie is an independent student who has a visual impairment.

His well-meaning classmates stop offering help when they see how able Davey is. They stop helping him until he tries to play kickball. After many failed attempts to kick the ball and an incident resulting in a trampled base keeper, no one wants Davie on their team anymore. The students see how upset this makes Davie feel so they come together to make a plan so he can play. They create a plan that allows Davie to participate freely without help from others. The children tell Davie to "Keep his ear on the ball" as it rolls towards him, once kicked, the keeper at first base yells "First base Davie. I am at first base" so Davie knows where to go. This plan worked perfectly and allowed Davie to participate freely and independently. The students learned that "interdependence can be just as important and rewarding as independence."

As a critic, I think it is an important part of the job to recognize your biases and to make your readership aware of the same. So, before we get down to the nitty gritty of reviewing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, let me make a few confessions. Confession number one: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was the movie that got me into movies in the first place. If that movie doesn't happen, who knows if I am taking the time to write this right now. Confession Number Two: I ran laps around the living room, fists pumping, screaming like a maniac when Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King completed its Oscar sweep in 2003. Confession number 3: I consider JRR Tolkien to be THE great writer of our time and The Lord of the Rings trilogy to be the finest films, well, ever. With those three confessions on the table then, it is here that I will attempt to review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey as unbiasedly as I possibly can.
Just like the novels, The Hobbit is quite a different animal from The Lord of the Rings both stylistically and in terms of narrative goals. Whereas the Lord of the Rings is a pretty simple quest on an apocalyptic scale (destroy this ring or the world will come to an end), The Hobbit is a story about an equally simple quest with much smaller stakes (reclaim the dwarves home or...?). There is no world-changing power waiting to be unleashed if the dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo Baggins fail in their attempts to remove Smaug the terrible from the dwarves' home of Erebor like there was if Sauron were to regain the ring in The Lord of the Rings; there would simply be a pissed off dragon and thirteen burnt to the crisp dwarves. What this does is to make the initial chapter in The Hobbit a more light-hearted and intimate tale than the films that came before it. This is not a film about saving the world through great battles, but one about a character taken from the comforts of his home and as the title would suggest his unexpected journey into a dangerous adventure.
Filled with action and humor in equal doses this is a much more lighthearted endeavor than The Lord of the Rings trilogy, full of physical sight gags, witty one-liners, and even a song or three. There are also references to the trilogy to come, including the appearance of some of the fans' favorite characters in glorified cameos. Some of these moments work better than others. The appearance of Gollum, for instance, is far and away the scene of the year and one of the most hilarious and intense scenes of all time, on par with anything in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Gollum's reaction as he loses the ring shows the incredible advancement that CGI has undergone in the last ten years while also representing Andy Serkis' finest moment in the series to date. In that one moment is shown the pain of the character Gollum as well as what makes Bilbo Baggins the most interesting of the hobbit characters. Likewise, Christopher Lee's appearance as the duplicitous Saruman is a welcome one. Elrond, however, is seemingly as useless as he usually is with actor Hugo Weaving once again given nothing of real significance to do.
The film, while certainly tying itself to The Lord of the Rings trilogy in any way that it can including a story structure that is nearly identical to that of The Fellowship of the Ring and especially so in the constant guiding hand of Ian McKellan's wonderful Gandalf the Grey, it also presents several new ideas to the story of Middle Earth. The gang of dwarves, for one, helps to bring life to a race of people that in the prior films had been used mainly as a comedic sounding board. While the group of thirteen dwarves in the film are certainly used to comedic effect through things like their ridiculous beards or dining manner, they also help portray a picture of a hard-working and noble people on par in creativity with the design of any of the Elves or men in the past films. Erebor, the dwarves home, is especially majestic and one can only hope that we see more of it as the films progress. The makeup and costuming work here is extraordinary, as are any of the other technical elements on display including the once again immaculate cinematography and a film score that will have you humming for weeks after you leave the theater. Full of many of the trilogy's original themes as well as some brilliant new compositions, Howard Shore's score is every bit an equal to his prior entries.
While the dwarves are great, just as in the novel, they can be difficult to keep track of at times and are at others seemingly only there to fill in as battle extras whenever called upon. This is not true of all the dwarves as the main trio of Thorin, Dwalin, and Balin are certainly fleshed out in great detail, but is the case for many of the background dwarves who could be considered fun in some spots and entirely superfluous in others. Thorin is a good protagonist, if not quite an Aragorn, certainly better than most fictional heroes and one that holds great promise as the story continues onward.
Although the dwarves are one way in which the film separates itself from The Lord of the Rings, it is in the character of Bilbo Baggins that this is fully achieved. Bilbo is not Frodo, not even close, and that is a wonderful thing. Gone is the whiny, beleaguered hobbit, and in his place is a character playing a fish out of water, that while placed in a world that is hard to understand initially, dives in and acts as heroically as any of the other characters when called upon to do so. Martin Freeman is the perfect fit as Bilbo and it is hard to imagine anyone else delivering as he has here, filling Bilbo with grace, wonderful humor, and a sense of wonder that fits the story beautifully. His reactions to all of the craziness around him is half the fun of the film and reminds the viewer how they felt being introduced to Middle Earth in the first place. Bilbo is this film's soul and lifeblood and as he becomes more adventurous and courageous, so too does the film, amping up in intensity and becoming the great film that it always seemed capable of.
Just as great as Freeman, if perhaps more familiar is Ian McKellan as Gandalf. Obviously the sole owner of this role by now, McKellan steps back into the all too comfortable boots and makes it seem like he has never left Middle Earth. This is the role that he was born to play and as always he plays it perfectly. Just as funny as he ever was and even more awesome in battle, Gandalf is alive and better than ever and it is just fantastic that there are two other films coming with him in them.
Where these two and several scenes in the film would seem right at home in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, including the aforementioned bit with Gollum as well as almost the entire final hour, not everything goes smoothly. The orcs and goblins in the film with one exception are ugly and anonymous CG creations that do not have the same character of those found in the original trilogy. While Azog is certainly a worthy villain and a nice addition to the story by Peter Jackson and co as a central antagonist for Thorin, the rest are boring, lifeless entities at the best of time and hideously flawed at others. The worst offender is the Goblin King, who should have been one of the more frightening entires in the series, but who is instead one of its most laughable in execution.
Problematic also is the film's middle. While both the opening and conclusion feel swift and jam packed with terrific action, comedy, and layer upon layer of attention to detail, the middle seems uncomfortably long and perhaps padded in an effort to include everything from the original novel and some things that were not in it in the first place. This is all on Peter Jackson who decided to create three films instead of one or two and who obviously needed to fill time. This is a decision that is hard to judge at the moment since we have not seen the final two chapters and since some plot payoffs are obviously on the horizon, but at the moment it is one of mixed results. For instance, any of the material added that addresses the Necromancer is brilliant and will certainly have an even greater payoff in the next two films. Likewise, the extra character development will certainly help future events seem more personal than they do in the novel. However, there are sequences that could certainly have been trimmed or altered in order to keep the film moving and not bog down as it does in its middle. Feeling at times like Jackson's King Kong, this is a movie that no matter how beautifully done, certainly has some bloat. There are amazing moments throughout the film and some of the best are the quiet moments between characters that didn't exist in the novel, but there are also sequences that go on for too long and seem to be there only to try and mirror The Lord of the Rings for scope.
When The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey doesn't try to be The Lord of the Rings and rather becomes the brisk adventure that Tolkien intended, it works and is clearly one of the finest films of the year. In those moments when Jackson succumbs to his lesser instincts, however, it seems to drift slightly from Middle Earth into a Narnia or Skull island existence. Like the Fellowship of the Ring in 2001 this is a film that is difficult to judge because it is obviously only the first two and a half hours of a much larger affair. As it stands, while perhaps not as magical as The Fellowship of the Ring or as epic as The Return of the King, it soars at least as high as The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and that unlike its title character is no small thing.
Rating: 8.5/10

Inflammatory Bowel
Idiopathic chronic
inflammatory bowel diseases show primary inflammation of the intestinal wall
The idiopathic inflammatory
bowel diseases, of which there are two main members, have no known cause.
In Crohn's disease there
is a granulomatous inflammatory pattern of disease that affects the full
thickness of the bowel wall.
It is most common in the
terminal ileum, but may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract in a
discontinuous pattern.
With ulcerative colitis, a chronic
inflammatory disease of the rectal mucosa, inflammation may extend to involve
the whole of the colon in continuity.
Importantly, both
types of inflammatory bowel disease are associated with systemic manifestations
outside of the intestine.
In diagnosing idiopathic
inflammatory bowel disease, infective causes of inflammation have first to be
is by imaging and biopsy.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease
is more common in women than in men, patients
usually being 20-60 years old.
It particularly affects the terminal ileum (synonym: regional ileitis), but can
occur anywhere in the gut, especially in the mouth, colon, and anus.
The macroscopic appearance
of the bowel in Crohn's disease varies according to the stage of the disease.
in early disease affected
bowel shows marked swelling of submucosa and mucosa, mainly due to
severe submucosal oedema.
This leads to loss of the pattern of normal transverse
folds, and small superficial areas of haemorrhagic ulceration arise which,
over time, develop into fissures.
In established chronic
disease the bowel mucosa shows a cobblestone pattern due to a combination of
submucosal oedema and
interconnecting deep fissured ulcers.
The bowel wall is thickened by oedema and fibrosis and, commonly, there is
stricture formation. Regional lymph
nodes usually become enlarged.
Disease is not continuous and areas of normal
bowel may be present between the diseased segments (skip lesions).The normal
bowel proximal to a segment of Crohn's disease is often dilated due to partial
Direct complications of
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease shows
transmural inflammation with deep fissured ulcers Crohn's disease is
characterized by inflammation of all layers, submucosal oedema, ulcers that
extend deepinto the bowel wall and form fissures, and
fibrous scarring.
Non-caseating granulomas may be present.
Inflammation in Crohn's
disease is transmural, and serosal involvement leads to inflammatory adhesion to
other loops of bowel, to the parietal peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall,
or to the bladder.
Deep penetration of fissured ulcers, which may extend through
the full thickness of the bowel wall into the adherent viscus, causes fistulae
(tracks between two cavities) and sinuses
(a track from a viscus to an outside surface).
This is particularly seen in the perianal region.
The inflammation in the wall
is composed of lymphoid cells, macrophages and plasma cells.
Small non-caseating granulomas, which occur in about 70% of cases, may be seen
in any layer of the bowel, e.g. mucosa.
Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis affects the rectum and
variable amounts of colon
Ulcerative colitis starts at
the rectum (proctitis) and may extend for a variable distance around the colon.
There are three clinical
patterns of disease:
1 In active acute disease
the mucosa in the rectum and affected colon shows areas of shallow ulceration;
inflammation is limited to the mucosa and lamina propria.
2 In chronic quiescen or
treated disease ulceration is not prominent and the mucosa appears red, granular
and thinned.
3 In fulminant active
disease the colon shows extensive confluent mucosal ulceration.The colon
progressively dilates (toxic dilatation - 'acute toxic megacolon').
The direct local
complications of ulcerative colitis include blood and fluid loss from extensive
ulceration. Acute disease may progress
rapidly to toxic dilatation and perforation and, in long-standing disease,
dysplasia and neoplastic change may occur.
In the most
extensive disease the whole colonic mucosa is affected.
Patients typically
develop diarrhoea, the faeces being mixed with blood, mucus and pus. The natural
history of ulcerative colitis can be divided into three main patterns:
• 10% of patients develop
severe disease requiring early surgery.
• 10% of patients have
persistent active disease despite treatment.
• 80% of patients have
chronic quiescent colitis with infrequent episodes of relapse.

Leaving Cowling on a grey morning
After a decent night's sleep, we awoke to a grey, cool morning, with low cloud threatening rain scudding across the sky. Gordon and Rowan made their customary early getaway and we weren't too far behind them as the cool, blustery conditions didn't encourage us to linger and we were soon back on the trail after a quick breakfast. While packing up the tent, I managed to cut my finger on a tent peg and after covering various items of gear in blood, had to stop and bandage up the finger before finishing packing the rucksack. Today had been the turning point on my previous attempt a year earlier when all of the issues that had plagued my walk came to a head and I made the decision to finish at the halfway point. A combination of factors had culminated in a terrible night where I got virtually no sleep as a noisy road and church bells ringing from a nearby tower every fifteen minutes meant that I woke in a foul mood. This wasn't helped when I discovered that my second canister of gas had mysteriously emptied itself during the night so I didn't even have the comfort of a hot cup of coffee to start the day. After an annoying experience in a cafe later in the day, I had finally given up and 'dumped' my malfunctioning camping gear and booked bed and breakfast rooms for the rest of my truncated trip. This year however, as we left the campsite in Cowling, I felt totally different and despite the gloomy conditions, was raring to go and felt very energetic. We passed through the village of Ickornshaw and headed off into fields but were soon stopping to put on waterproof jackets as the rain had started and didn't appear to be in a hurry to stop.
Descending to Lothersdale
We crossed fields that were now becoming increasingly wet and it was here that I got the chance to experience the sensation of my feet getting wet through my lightweight trail runners, which let the water in almost immediately. I had decided on this approach based on my experience of walking in heavy rain on the Coast to Coast the previous year as I had returned from my Pennine Way trip. Then, I had arrived in Keld to find that the bus service to Richmond was no longer running so had to walk to a town with transport links the following day utilising a section of Wainwright's famous trail. I had decided on Kirkby Stephen because I had long harboured an ambition to travel on the Settle to Carlisle railway and this would give me a chance to sample at least a section of it. Once there, my uncle was going to drive from his home in North Wales to pick me up in Settle as we hadn't seen each other for a number of years and he had invited me to spend a few days at his home. It was during this walk over Nine Standards Rigg from Keld that I had decided not to worry about the weather conditions or trying to keep dry and I walked in shorts, as I had for the whole of the Pennine way trip. I was wearing a waterproof jacket however but my only real problem was with my goretex lined boots that continually filled with water, which meant that I had to regularly stop to 'empty' them. Other than this, I had thoroughly enjoyed my watery trip across the Pennine Watershed and decided to investigate the principle of walking in less 'waterproof' clothing and footwear when I returned home. The lightweight trail runners I was now wearing had no waterproof lining and a mesh top so water just flowed in but the reasoning was that it could just as easily flow out and the action of the foot bending caused the water to be 'squeezed' out, like a sponge. It did feel odd at first as the water filled my shoes but once I became used to the sensation, I had no problems. Indeed, as the day wore on, the weather dried up, as did my shoes and socks, meaning I finished the day with dry feet, which was exactly the point of the exercise. Had I been wearing the boots I had worn on my previous Pennine trip, they would have been wet for a day or two after. Walking in the trail runners also meant that I had very little weight on my feet, which wasn't increased by being waterlogged as with 'waterproof' boots.
Double bridge on the Leeds-Liverpool canal
After negotiating the series of wet fields, we descended steeply into the idyllically situated village of Lothersdale, nestled in its snug valley location, the incongruous chimney of it's long abandoned mill signalling the end of the former mill-town country of the South Pennines. Passing briefly through the village, we climbed alongside a deep, wooded ravine before we found ourselves back on open moorland where we soon reached the trig point on the summit of Pinhaw Beacon. Here, we had magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, in an almost 360 degree panorama as the strong wind whipped at our clothing and rucksack straps. We descended to a road and the rain began in earnest and we retreated under our hoods and plodded on in the deluge looking for the tell-tale fingerpost ahead that would signal the point where the Pennine Way veered off once again onto the moors. As we approached the turn, we spotted Rowan and Gordon, who appeared to be setting off after a rest break and we greeted them before carrying on across the wet moors together with them commenting on how quickly we must be walking to have caught them so soon. It was here that I realised that I must have been forging ahead in the poor conditions as Alan commented to them that I was a very fast walker. I had to admit that I felt in really good shape and the conditions meant that I just had my head down and was bowling along and really enjoying the sensation of walking and feeling fit enough to tackle anything that the trail could throw at me. It hadn't occurred to me at that time that I was walking any faster than anyone else.
Lock gates at Gargrave
Eventually, Rowan and Gordon let us go ahead and we agreed to meet them at the Abbot's Harbour cafe on the Leeds-Liverpool canal and soon left them behind as we negotiated even more soggy fields. We passed through the neat but largely anonymous village of Thornton in Craven and were soon plodding along the banks of the canal, where we turned off to the cafe for a welcome break of hot drinks and food. Probably because of the weather, the cafe this time was a complete contrast to my earlier visit the previous year where it had been invaded by a couple of dozen lycra-clad cyclists. It was here, that I had finally decided to abandon my attempt to walk the entire Pennine Way after my anticipated leisurely lunch, which I had promised myself as a reward for the lousy night in the campsite at Cowling, had turned into a cramped, noisy interlude listening to a loud female cyclist expounding dietary advice to all within earshot. The crowded, noisy cafe had caused me to flee into a nearby field and phone ahead for a room and having secured one, dump my camping gear in a wooded hollow. This time, the cafe was as I was hoping for the previous year with as there were only a handful of people and we spread out on a table to enjoy pots of hot tea and bacon rolls. After a while, Rowan and Gordon arrived and joined us for a pleasant lunch where we chatted and satisfied our appetites while chatting about the walk. Eventually, the time came to leave but by now, the weather had turned for the better and we set off across fields, passing the wooded dell where I had previously dumped my camping gear. I did stop to look but it was no longer there so someone had scrambled down to retrieve it. I hope they found some use for it. The countryside now began to subtly change as we approached the Yorkshire Dales. Limestone country always 'feels' comfortable to walk in as often you find yourself walking on springy turf, which makes the going easier. It certainly felt comfortable as we approached Gargrave in the improving sunshine and we passed through the town without stopping, despite the numerous temptations of pubs, cafes and shops. It had only been an hour since leaving Abbot's Harbour so we couldn't justify stopping again so soon. As we crossed Haw Crag we spotted a group of young boys doing their D.O.E standing on the crest of the hill studying maps and looking confused. We didn't pass close enough to ask them if they needed help but as we descended to the road I looked back to see that they had taken a path signposted to 'Bell Busk'.
River Aire
As we approached the road, a path veered off to follow the River Aire, which we would follow virtually all of the way to Malham where we intended to obtain a room for the night. This decision had been made during the heavy rain of the morning and we had decided that even though the weather was now fine, we would still carry out our intention to sleep in a proper bed for the night as we had spent the previous five nights in the tents and we now wanted the luxury of a proper bed. We crossed the road at Newfield Bridge at the same time as the route crossed to the other bank of the river and we stopped at a convenient spot for a break. As we sat, a man walked over to us from the road and enquired if we had seen a number of young boys along the route. We said we had and pointed out to him on the map where we had seen them. They were indeed doing their D.O.E and should have been following the same route as us but had obviously become confused as we had seen them heading off in totally the wrong direction. The man was the boys' 'shadow' and now hurried off in search of his missing charges.
Approaching Malham
The rest of the walk was a pleasant stroll in the sunshine along the river bank to Malham, apart from one unwelcome steep ascent on a road at Hanlith Bridge, where the route veered away from the river briefly. As we descended again, the village of Malham came into view and we had glimpses of the cove looming in the background. Arriving in the village, we secured a room in the same guesthouse I had used the previous year, which despite being fairly old and tired was quite cheap. I seemed to offend the owner when I asked him for a key to lock the room when we went out to eat and was given a sermon about how they 'have no need for such things around here', before giving me a key that didn't work anyway. I decided I would have to trust the veracity of the other residents, which in the event was well placed. After we had attended to our various chores, we spent a leisurely evening in the Lister Arms pub before returning to enjoy a comfortable night sleeping on a proper mattress.

It's all about the shirts this season. Some have fluted sleees, some have tie details, some have open shoulders. We prefer a more restrained look to our clothes and why would be want to copy everyone else. We do however rather fancy this draped cream number from YAYA. Wear it tried like this or loose, whatever works for you. Nice to have an option to ring the changes. Wear with denim.
The shirt is a very soft viscose blend in a warm cream, £65.00 Katherine's modelling it with her MosMosh denim.

One year has passed… I will never forget the day.
As you took your final breathes… And looked into my eyes.
For as hard it was for me… It was hard for you to say goodbye.
My agony is that you left so soon...At this young age… the time was not for you.
The pain is the same like an open wound.
There are days I don't utter a sound… Some days the pain is beyond control.
It makes me shiver, helpless & weak…I can't stand this much longer any more.
I just sit down quietly & weep. Your grand children keep asking me where you have gone.
Missing loads of love you showered them all the time.
I have shut my private door… And let no one in.
Locking my self in a box with memories of just you & me.
You were the strongest man … that I ever knew.
You were like a rock ..bold, faithful & true.
Such a kind & loving father… who had a heart of gold.
Your humble nature makes me proud of you.
What worth has my life… Now I don't have you.
I was your only born.. papa's asset girl… Treated me till end like a new born child.
I took my own path… but was still your world.
To see me happy… was your ultimate goal.
I was not the best…but u know papa dearest.
You were always my ideal… want to follow your footsteps.
I always loved you my papa…my greatest star.
Now my pain is to worship you from afar.
I love u more now as I did back then…I just hope one day I will see you again.
I am so proud of you … Brave and Strong to the end.
You said you were never afraid of death...That u were prepare for it any time.
Now that you are there in the real world … Silently watching my every step.
Please keep a vigilant check on all my deeds…& guide me from there as you used to do.
To be a good human being & of help to the world.
I hope that you have found peace in heaven...& I hope I am strong enough to survive.
May Allaha grant you highest Place in Janat (Ameen)
Your only Daughter

More Than Tech Tips: What Is Smishing?
Internet criminals are increasingly trying to circumvent your spam filters and are targeting users directly through their smartphones with smishing attacks
Short for "SMS Phishing," these types of attacks often prey on victim's sense of urgency or panic, pressuring the victim into giving out personal or company confidential information – often in the form of a warning from one's bank about a potential fraudulent charge, but they can also appear to come from someone you might know – via text to your smart phone. If you receive a text that seems out of place or gives you a "red flag" for one reason or another, always call and verify before letting go of ANY sensitive information!
Along with banking/accounting-related smishing attempts, there is a mystery shopping scam going on as well – starting out with a text invitation, asking you to send an email for more info which then gets you roped into the scam.Always, when you get a text, remember to think before you tap.
Increasingly, texts are being used for identity theft, bank account breaches and to pressure you into giving out personal or company confidential information. Here's a short video made by USA Today that shows more:
Someone who is trained to spot social engineering red flags would definitely think twice before falling for these kinds of scams. Be sure your employees are those "someones." On our blog, we've provided you with a resource you can print out and use to be sure your staff is up to speed on helping keep your computer systems safe.

A Day in the Life of Anne
If Mindy Kaling can write her day, can't I?
4:55AM My stress alarm goes off. I don't actually really have to be up yet but this makes sure I won't miss the one that matters.
5:00AM If I'm feeling peppy, this is the one I should get up to.
5:10AM Actually get up to this alarm.
5:15AM Turn off 10 other alarms set.
5:30 something AM Leave house… I like beating my soldiers to work and also getting to work to check my email in peace.
6:30AM Stand in formation and salute the flag with my platoon.
6:35AM Stretch.
6:50AM Running, if I had to bet on it.
7:15AM Check watch and wonder why 8AM is so far away.
8:00AM Go home to shower.
8:50AM Drink coffee.
9:00AM Leave for work.
Morning at work: There is probably a slideshow I have due by lunch so I should probably do that.
Afternoon at work: Everything hits the fan so probably try to get a vehicle to fun location I need to Google Map and then stop my driver from going under things that will break off the antennas. Also, making sure we have all our equipment. That was to be done monthly and usually takes half the month to do.
7:00PM Go home and debate furiously with myself about whether I should get Taco Bell or not.
7:10PM Sit in the Taco Bell drive thru.
7:30PM Watch New Girl or Bob's Burgers while texting jokes to people at work.
8:10PM Procrastinate laying out clothes for next day.
9:00PM Sleep aka play on FB in bed.
I'm like the same person as Mindy Kaling's character Mindy from The Mindy Project except less fun dates to gossip about on weeknights.

|Midwestern Dhamma Refuge
grounded in contemplative practice
for a peaceful, just, & sustainable society
Lodging for retreatants now includes the hermitage in the back valley, one canvas cabin, a guest room in the Guest House, and a small "garden hermitage" near the Guest House. The latter two are primarily for those with mobility limitations or other needs to be close to central facilities. The other dwellings (details) require walking up and down our hills and are more intimate with the valley's nature. Guest House facilities include kitchen, bathrooms & showers, laundry, library, meeting room, and porches.
There is no specific charge for retreats here. However, Kevala Retreat subsists on donations and volunteer labor. Generosity is an important aspect of Dhamma practice. Contributing to grounds upkeep can be another. Please consider a generous contribution that is respectful both of what you have received and of your current means.
Offering space, support, and guidance for personal retreat is important in Kevala Retreat's long-term vision. Our infrastructure is geared more for solo retreats than group retreats. We try to keep things simple, yet safe and adequate. Sufficient amenities are now on-site. You are responsible for your own food. The shared kitchen in the Guest House is available for food storage and cooking. You will be directed where to put food when you arrive. You may be navigating one or more other retreatants during your retreat. If you can bring some pre-prepared foods that just need to be heated up it makes the shared kitchen experience easier. We ask that a vegetarian diet be observed while visiting Kevala Retreat.
We encourage intelligence & creativity in designing a retreat to meet
your own needs & circumstances. It can include meditation, movement
practices (e.g. qigong), study, journaling, chores & work, and walks
in the woods. Or, it might be primarily all-day meditation. Regular
consultations with Santikaro or Jo Marie are encouraged. We endeavor to
support you in mindfully, skillfully cultivating a well-rounded path
through immersion in Dhamma. (We do not
encourage outside excursions during your retreat.)
Quiet & silence
Simplicity & solitude
Settling into meditation
Deeper Dhamma study
Intimacy with Nature
- Your own food.
- Towel.
- A sleeping bag and pillow if staying in a canvas cabin or woodland hermitage (we have loaner sleeping bags if needed, then bring a sheet).
- Personal toiletries, including insect repellent (non-toxic/non-insecticide recommended). All soaps and shampoos must be non-detergent based as they go directly into the ground water (castille, olive oil, or other natural products are acceptable.)
- Outdoor clothing appropriate for the season, including rugged shoes and rain gear.
- Flashlight, batteries, and alarm clock if needed.
- Water bottle
- Drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products
- Companion animals (unless special arrangements are made - under certain special circumstances dogs, horses, or other companion animals may accompany their human on retreat)
- Radios.
- Computers, ipads, and the like (unless necessary for Dhamma study).
Air: The La Crosse airport (40 minutes from us) is served 3 times each day by American (via Chicago) and Delta (via Minneapolis). Generally, we can meet you at airport if you check with us before booking.
Bus or train: Greyhound has multiple trips between Chicago and Minneapolis. Amtrak's Empire Builder is once a day each direction. Both stop in Tomah, WI, 15 miles away.
If you are interested in a retreat here, please email us.
If you would like to attend a group retreat with Santikaro, please go to the retreat page.
Kevala Retreat can host long-term retreats and residency when there is a good fit. For both, the starting point is for you and us to develop familiarity with one another. Long stays will depend on a compatible understandings of Buddha-Dhamma, practice, and the lifestyle at Kevala Retreat. We will ask you to come for a visit or personal retreat as the first step, along with email and phone communications. We look forward to exploring the options for Dhamma-centered life and service.

Chicago Now suggests holding awareness training regularly can serve as a refresher for employees to be aware of their surroundings, continuously be on the lookout for spills that could cause people to slip and also lessons on how they can do their job safely and efficiently. There is a right way to load inventory on and off material handling equipment and making sure employees have that knowledge could keep them from potentially overexerting themselves.
The news provider also reports if you can't fit everyone's schedules for an in-person training, there are online options that will help inform workers and keeping everyone on the same page.
Safety and Health Magazine reports a clean warehouse can go a long way. One of the most common workplace hazards is clutter causing people to accidentally trip. Similarly, out-of-date equipment can also be risks, so it's important to continuously check equipment.

BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) — Chinese police have cracked more than 1,300 criminal gangs in the latest campaign against organized crime, authorities said.
Between March and October, Chinese prisons received 887 new inmates charged for gang crime, Hu Yiding, deputy director of prison administration under the Ministry of Justice said. By the end of October, police had referred 196 cases of alleged organized crime for prosecution and 1,347 crime gangs had been broken, according to the office for national campaign against organized crime. This shows that the campaign against organized crime has been effective, said a spokesman for the office.
In China, organized crime gangs are sometimes protected by officials through bribery, threat or other means. Prosecutors had been exposing the "umbrellas" covering gangs, with 33 cases uncovered involving 47 official, said Huang Hailong, deputy director of the investigation and supervision department of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. In the first ten months this year, 716 people were convicted of organized crime, including 711 charged of organizing, leading or taking part in organized crime gangs and five of cover-up and connivance, Gao Jinghong, deputy director of the office and a judge of the Supreme People's Court. "The number will be much larger if we consider convicts of other criminal charges from the crime gangs," he said.
Imprisonment over five years, life sentence and death sentence for the organized crime convicts account for 51.37 percent, 34 percent more than other crimes for the same period, Gao said. Meanwhile, police put 3.75 million criminal cases on file for investigation in the first ten months, 41,000 fewer, or 1.1 percent down, from the same period last year and the number of cases resolved increased by 113,000 to 2.21 million, the office said. The number of severe violent cases including murder, rape and arson respectively dropped by 13.8 percent, 5.9 percent, 13.8 percent in the first ten months. "After the crackdown of crime gangs, the social life and security order have evidently improved in some areas," the office spokesman said.
After Beijing police broke the 17-member-gang headed by Lei Nagang, in suburban Beijing, which long haunted the local people by racketeering and fighting, local police station did not receive report of criminal cases for consecutive 161 days in the first eight months this year, the spokesman said. "In general, public security has been relatively stable this year," a spokesman for the office said.
The Supreme People's Court is supervising 63 major organized crime cases and paying close attention to the trial progress of these cases.

Course of Study
Although not required, some academic background in linguistics and/or experience with language teaching is recommended as preparation for our program.
Length of Program
The Language Teaching Studies program is designed as an intensive MA degree that can be completed in five consecutive quarter terms beginning Summer term (the first Summer term is entirely online), and continuing through the subsequent Summer term (15 months). Students are able to stay longer than 5 terms in the program longer if needed, but need to consult with the Director about planning an extended or alternate schedule. The program is not designed to be completed efficiently with a Fall term start (students need to stay for 2 years in this case); thus, students are less commonly admitted to start in Fall term.
First Term Online
To make the program as convenient as possible for our students, we are now offering all of our first-term (Summer) courses online. Each course will provide a flexible, interactive learning experience.
- LING 510 Language, Mind and Society (Weeks 1-4, June 25-July 20, 2018)
- LING 544 Second Language Acquisition (Week 5-8, July 23-August 17, 2018)
- LT 535 Language Teaching Methods (Weeks 1-8, June 25-August 17, 2018)
In addition to daily opportunities online for interaction with course instructors and classmates, students will also meet other LTS faculty and continuing LTS students through various online social activities.
Master's Degree Requirements
- 53 credits in Linguistics, Language Teaching, and Education coursework
- 7 Master's Project course credits and the successful completion of a final Master's Project
- Each course grade must be a B- or higher in order to satisfy degree requirements. Please be aware of the University of Oregon policy that requires all graduate students to maintain a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate.
Course load:
12-13 credits per term (9 in final Summer term) for 60 credits total.

*Students with more than two years of full-time teaching experience have the option of replacing this course with elective credits.
**Students teaching a language other than English have the option of replacing these courses with comparable courses in their language of study.
Students working towards an M.A. degree must take an additional 8 credits of designated elective course work, which may include any language or education related coursework, internships, or supervised tutoring or teaching opportunities. Students who have already taken any of the required courses or their equivalents previous to entering the LTS program should replace them with elective credits in consultation with the LTS Director. Students who have taken any of the required LTS courses at the 400 level as undergraduates or as UO Community Education Program credits may be able to have up to 15 of these units count toward the 60 unit total.
Courses that can count as electives include additional LT seminars, graduate level courses in other language departments (such as Romance Languages or East Asian Languages and Literatures), or courses in the School of Education, International Studies, Psychology, and others.
Internships are arranged on an individual basis in a range of language teaching or curriculum developing contexts. Students can intern in language classrooms at the American English Institute (AEI) at all levels, at Lane Community College, in various Foreign Language classes at the UO or LCC, at the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS), and sometimes in K-12 classrooms. Classroom internships involve observation, assisting, and some teaching under the supervision of a cooperating teacher. LTS students can also tutor UO FL and ESL students individually, such as through the UO Writing Lab.
We also have supervised teaching and tutoring possibilities for elective credit. One such program is for Chinese speakers in LTS, tutoring and assisting Chinese middle and high school learners at Oak Hill school. This opportunity is an excellent chance to share Chinese language and culture with US students in a K-12 school.
Language Requirement
All graduate students are required to have at least two years of one foreign language within the past seven years either before or by the time they graduate with the MA, or be able to pass a proficiency test at an equivalent level in a foreign language (administered at the UO). At the M.A. level, any foreign language is acceptable, including English for an international student whose first language is not English.
Master's Project
All students working towards an M.A. degree with the language teaching specialization must complete a final Master's Project over two consecutive terms. Projects are individual. The project topic must be approved by the LTS faculty in Winter term, and the project development is supervised by the LT 611 course instructors and the student's MA Project adviser. It is presented in a public forum during the final term. See this page for past MA Project titles: http://lts.uoregon.edu/people/ma-project-titles

JFK Library, AWP, bloody beating hearts, and Superman
I recently returned from a trip back east which had just about everything in it: two presentations, brainstorming with my publisher at Viking, Ken Wright, over lunch, NYC friends over breakfast, and a long visit with my granddaughter. Perfect!
Sam Rubin and his colleagues at the John F. Kennedy Library put together a cool program, Sources of Inspiration, with Robert Burleigh, Bryan Collier, and me. The JFK folks did something really helpful: we all met together for dinner the night before and started talking. I was surprised how much it influenced our panel in the morning. We had plunged into a really interesting discussion about exactly what kind of freedoms you have with narrative nonfiction, and we got into more at the panel. Still way more exploration to do, as there are so many shades of opinion on this.
Here's a shot of Robert Burleigh, with the irresistible architecture by I. M. Pei.
At AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) Marina Bhdhos, Marc Aronson, and I did a presentation on: YA Meets the Real: Young Adult Fiction and Nonfiction that Takes on the World. As primarily a nonfiction writer, I was really interested in conveying how to make nonfiction as vivid and intense as it can be, while sticking strictly to the truth. My advice: grab the beating, bloody heart of your subject and squeeze with all you've got.
I can't finish up without showing you the great t-shirt we were given at JFK. The front had the serious presidential seal. On the back... Superman and a cool, real story about JFK and Superman.
