Drying Dilemma
Bathroom hand dryers are in the news, and it's not pretty. Live Science writer Mindy Weisberger says, "Restroom hand dryers don't just blow — they also suck," Weisberger writes. "When they hoover up air, they also siphon in bacteria, which includes microbes carried into the room on people's skin, and those left behind by waste after a person uses and flushes a lidless toilet. Then, after sucking these microbes up, the dryers spew them out again — in abundance, according to a recent study."
CBS Pittsburgh goes for the full gross-out, "Bathroom Hand Dryers Spray Feces Particles On Your Hands, Study Says":
So what's a responsible hand washer to do once they've washed their hands for the recommended 20 seconds? Ideally, we recommend shaking your hands to get most of the water off and then drying them with a clean towel or paper towel. (This cool and practical TED Talk shows how to use a 12-shake method to minimize the amount of paper towel needed.) However, many establishments have jettisoned paper towels entirely in favor of hand dryers. In that case, sticking with the shake is probably your best option.
Handwashing remains one of the most powerful actions you can take to protect yourself from germs. This study, the findings of which were originally published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, doesn't change that. But it's a good reminder that handwashing is a process. Despite how many times a day we do it, we can always use a reminder about how to properly wash your hands. To spread the word (and not the germs) to the people in your life, download and print out this free poster from Project WET and Ecolab:
Guest Post: Up Close and Personal with the Launch to the ISS
Because he was in quarantine before the launch, Ricky had to remain behind glass when seeing Cindy and his other friends and family By Cindy Etgen, Maryland Project WET Coordinator
Project WET Maryland Coordinator Cindy Etgen had a front-row seat, literally, to Astronaut Ricky Arnold's liftoff to the International Space Station. She and her husband, Lou, are longtime personal friends of the Arnold family and had been invited to be a part of Ricky's journey to the ISS. She told us about her experiences in this guest post.
When Ricky and his family asked us to join them on this journey, we did not hesitate for a second. We have spent the last 15+ years traveling several times a year with the Arnold family: For us this was another family adventure. Being able to support his wife and daughters through a very emotional and stressful trip was important to both Lou and me. We were there for Ricky's Discovery launch in 2009, and we wanted to be there for them this time as well.
At Star City, Cindy got to see a mock-up of the launch vehicle that Ricky and his colleagues would be using The whole trip involved much more than just witnessing the launch. NASA prepared a very full schedule for family and friends of both Ricky and the other astronaut flying to the ISS, Drew Feustel. Our time in Russia included tours, visits to Red Square and other historical sites in Moscow and a visit to Star City, where the cosmonauts and astronauts train. At Star City, we got to see where Ricky lived during his training in Russia. We also got to see mock-ups of the Mir Space Station and the Russian components of the International Space Station. Seeing the size of the capsule that Ricky would be traveling in for 48 hours on his way to the ISS was mind-boggling. Three men would be sitting in an area roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle for the launch. Another area about the same size is attached above for eating, removing their spacesuits and for resting.
Ricky's family and friends got to attend the press conference before the launch in Baikonur After Moscow, we traveled to the small Russian enclave of Baikonur, Kazakhstan, where we got to see the rollout of the Soyuz vehicle via train to the launch pad. The raising of the rocket on the pad came next. We did get to see Ricky more often this time than we had during his Discovery launch—although he was always behind glass because he was in quarantine. We had time to talk to him with just our small family group, and we were able to attend the press conference as well. During his walk outs—to the bus leaving for the launch site in their blue flight suits and then again at the launch site to the Soyuz rocket in their space suits—we were incredibly close, in the front row, and he could always see that we were there cheering him on. Ricky always tried to get as close to us as he could!
After experiencing the Discovery launch, where the closest viewing point was about 4 miles away, being able to view the Soyuz rocket launch from 9/10 of a mile was beyond amazing. Front row seats! And what a view it was!
Ricky's supporters could see him on the walk outs to the launch site bus Our last stop before the airport back in Moscow was Russian Mission Control to watch the Docking and Hatch opening. That meant more tours, more celebrating and more tears of happiness!
I am still processing this adventure, so much of it was surreal. However, I know that I will always remember my experience and, in particular, three things:
As you can see by the pictures, Ricky always had a smile on his face. He is incredibly happy. He is pursuing his dreams with the support of the people who love him most. By going on this journey, he has given us the adventure of a lifetime. His happiness reminds me that you should never give up on your dreams, no matter how big. With persistence, hard work and joy, anything is obtainable.
Cindy Etgen and her husband, Lou, in front of the Soyuz I will also remember our NASA escorts, Kelly and Tom. They handled all of the crazy details with grace, humor and professionalism. We met so many incredible people, many of them astronauts, and they were kind, funny and always willing to answer questions. We had a great time having meals together, and they bonded with our crazy group, often staying up with us into the late hours.
Finally, from the water realm, I was reminded yet again to never take for granted clean water coming out of our faucets. In Moscow, the water that came out of the shower was often brown, and in Baikonur we had to use bottled water even to brush our teeth. When you go to a country where you can't drink the water, eat fresh salads or eat fruit that can't be peeled, it puts things in perspective. In most places in the United States, we have ready access to fresh, potable water. When you travel abroad, it quickly reminds you that so many do not have the advantages of clean, safe water.
NASA announced that September 2017 to September 2018 is A Year of Education on Station for the International Space Station (ISS), featuring a variety of education-related events for students and teachers. Astronaut Richard (Ricky) Arnold, a volunteer board member for the Project WET Foundation, is the educator on board the ISS for the latter half of this year—from March to September 2018. The Project WET Foundation is developing numerous educational offerings to coincide with Ricky's journey and the Year of Education. To see all of the resources, visit projectwet.org/outofthisworld.
New Activity Booklet Helps Kids Understand the Links Between Food, Water and Agriculture
Water, Agriculture and Food is Project WET's newest children's activity booklet FOR RELEASE: March 20, 2018
BOZEMAN, Mont. – Four out of five Americans today live in urban areas. For most kids, that makes the labor—and the water—that goes into producing food largely invisible. A new children's activity booklet, "Water, Agriculture and Food", addresses how and where food is grown, as well as the link between the food we eat and the water we all must share to meet the needs of a growing population. "Water, Agriculture and Food" will be available for purchase as a digital download on World Water Day, and in print in early April.
"Agriculture provides everything we eat and many items that we wear and use every day," said Dennis Nelson, president and CEO of the Project WET Foundation, the nonprofit water education organization that developed the booklet. "Even so, very few kids actually understand the contribution that farmers and ranchers make to society, and fewer still grasp the relationship between food and water. 'Water, Agriculture and Food' will help young people make these connections."
A 16-page resource that kids can use on their own or with guidance from a teacher or parent, "Water, Agriculture and Food" features eight interactive, two-page spreads with games, exercises, experiments and assessments. Readers will learn about food from farm to fork, including the role of risk, land and water stewardship, technology and innovation in agriculture.
"Water, Agriculture and Food" was developed thanks in part to a donation from Doris Griffin, in honor of her late husband, Stanley "Stan" Griffin, a North Dakota farmer, rancher and teacher.
"Stan enjoyed thinking of ways to educate children and others about water, not only from an academic point of view, but mostly because as a farmer and rancher, he dealt with water issues and challenges every day," Nelson explained.
In addition to the support from the Griffins, a survey of the Project WET USA Network ranked water and agriculture as their number one topic for a new KIDs booklet. The donation and the networks input together helped launch the development of the resource, which represents Project WET's 61st title in the Kids In Discovery series of activity booklets. The next KIDs booklet will be "Water and Cities"; development is underway now.
Sign up for Project WET's mailing list and check your email on Thursday, March 22nd, for easy instructions on how to download a special FREE digital copy in honor of World Water Day. After Thursday the cost for the digital download is $0.99 and the printed version is $1.25.

World Water Day Publication Launch
The highly anticipated Water, Agriculture & Food children's activity booklet is available on World Water Day, and in honor of the day, the PDF download will be FREE! After Thursday the cost for the digital download is $0.99. The printed version (which is available now for preorder, with delivery in late April) is $1.25.
#AstroFriday: A Teacher in Space
The final #AstroFriday question highlights Ricky's perspective as a former classroom teacher embarking on the second half of NASA's Year of Education on Station, a unified campaign aimed at providing both teachers and students with educational materials and opportunities.
PWF: As an astronaut who is also a former classroom teacher, you have unique insights into the way education intersects with the real-world science, technology, engineering and math underway on the ISS. Where does water education fit in to that? How is it important?
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: Understanding water as both a rather unique molecule and a finite resource is fundamental to understanding and protecting life here on Earth. Human beings have difficulty understanding things on a large scale—time, the cosmos, even something as seemingly limitless as our atmosphere and our oceans. Education focused on localized impacts within a global context is vitally important if we really want to make progress on major water-related issues like climate change.

South Carolina Project WET Coordinator Named Outstanding Conservation District Employee
South Carolina Coordinator Lynn Pilewski was recently recognized as the 2017 South Carolina Outstanding Conservation District Employee Lynn Pilewski, the Education Program Coordinator for the Greenville County Soil & Water Conservation District and a Project WET Coordinator, was recently recognized as the 2017 South Carolina Outstanding Conservation District Employee. The award recognizes professionalism and dedication to conservation district programs. Over the past four years, Lynn has successfully raised awareness of soil and water conservation at local, regional and national levels while implementing extraordinary programs at home.
A Project WET Coordinator since 2015, Lynn has helped more than 200 South Carolina teachers incorporate water education in the classroom. She has generated and spread nationally recognized campaigns, including Clean Water Starts With Me, a set of custom stormwater pollution arcade games, and There Is No Poop Fairy. These engaging campaigns help the public understand their role in preventing stormwater pollution and have educated more than 50,000 students in the past year.
Lynn has also worked hard to bring the District's environmental message to the public through radio and TV appearances, blog posts and event booths throughout Greenville County. She has helped plan four conferences in Greenville—including the Project WET USA Conference in 2016—and has presented at nine state, regional and national conferences. As a professional photographer, graphic and web designer, she has helped transform the District's education outreach materials and online presence.
We congratulate Lynn on her award and thank her for her work bringing Project WET and water education to South Carolina!
#AstroFriday: Bringing ISS Lessons to Earth
Today's #AstroFriday question concerns how the technology and knowledge that astronauts use on the International Space Station could benefit people on Earth.
PWF: What solutions for water conservation and reuse that are used on the ISS could be applicable to addressing water problems on Earth?
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: The technology for conservation and reuse is there and getting better all the time. As mentioned earlier, helping to shift attitudes about reuse is an area where I believe the space station can also help.

#AstroFriday: To Mars and Beyond?
This week's #AstroFriday question looks ahead to Mars and beyond!
Project WET Foundation: What role does water play in NASA's plans to explore the universe?
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: We need to continue developing technologies that allow us to reprocess water as efficiently as possible and develop ways to harvest available water resources from any planets we visit. Mars has ample sources of water within its soil to accomplish this.

#AstroFriday: Is the Earth Losing Water to Space?
This week's #AstroFriday question was submitted by Chuck Dugan of Arizona Project WET.
Chuck: During many of my lessons to my Pinal County fourth grades, I teach that (generally) Earth is a CLOSED system as far as water is concerned. We do not 'leak water' into space, and there are no 'water trucks' delivering new water to our planet! That, in general, the amount of TOTAL WATER we have on the planet is the SAME AMOUNT we've always had; the water we drink today is the same water that dinosaurs were doing what dinosaurs do in their water tens of millions of years ago. Drought is a much more complicated issue related to PERCENTAGE of FRESH and ACCESSIBLE water available to an expanding population in changing weather and planetary conditions. Yet, we hear of planets like Mars, where there WAS water and an atmosphere millions or even billions of years ago. On Mars, much of the atmosphere has been lost, and the water has largely 'gone to ground', or been lost to space over millennia. My question then is...Is there a process by which Earth is actually LOSING WATER to space? If so, can it be measured and tracked? Given our planet's mass, position in the solar system, and with its protective atmosphere, I'm not aware that we are losing water to outer space, but I'd like to confirm this hypothesis.
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: You are correct. Earth is not losing water at a meaningful rate because Earth, unlike Mars, has a cold trap in the stratosphere that freezes out most water and keeps it closer to the Earth's surface. Additionally, higher up in the atmosphere there is an ozone layer that blocks ultraviolet radiation that would otherwise split up water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, allowing the very light hydrogen to escape. Finally, the Earth's higher escape velocity (due to greater mass and thus gravity) helps it hold on to all of its atmospheric constituents better than Mars.

#AstroFriday: How Does Being In Space Impact How You See Water on Earth?
This week's #AstroFriday question is about how Ricky's time in space has affected his views about water on Earth.
Project WET: Based on your experiences in space now and on your first mission, have you changed how you use water, or do you plan to when you return to Earth?
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: My attitudes about where water comes from have certainly changed, and that is something I'll continue to share when I get back. With so many communities around the world suffering from a lack of potable water, we'll all need to continue to work to overcome our understandable bias against water from sources such as urine-processing.
Q&A in Pictures
#AstroFriday: How Is Water Used Differently in Space?
The #AstroFriday question for this week is about how astronauts use water in space.
Project WET: What are the most challenging things that you have to do in space with less or even no water? Is water used differently in space than on Earth?
Astronaut Ricky Arnold: Our water processing equipment turns urine, condensation, and collected perspiration into very pure drinking water. It is complex equipment in a harsh environment. We spend a lot of time maintaining and, when needed, repairing this equipment that is absolutely vital to our survival. We don't take any water for granted on the space station.
Q&A in Pictures
#AstroFriday: How Has Water Changed Over Time?
Today's #AstroFriday question is about observing changes in water over time from the vantage point of space.
Project WET: What changes over time, if any, will you be looking for in water features on Earth during your time on the International Space Station?
Ricky Arnold: Our water resources on Earth will continue to be affected by climate change. I hope to be able to share some of the changes we have observed since the space station began flying seventeen years ago.

Using Project WET to "Change the World"
Our partners at Levi Strauss & Co. were honored last fall by being named to the Fortune Change the World list. The list recognizes 50 companies who are "using the profit motive to solve a multitude of societal problems". It was LS&Co.'s first appearance on the list, and the editors specifically called out Levi's "Worker Well-being" program. As the LS&Co. Unzipped blog explained, Worker Well-being is designed to improve the lives of "the millions of people who work in the factories that make the clothes we wear, giving them the tools to thrive at work and beyond." Project WET activities are embedded in the Worker Well-being program, as well in as the company's overall sustainability plan.
After being named to the Fortune list, LS&Co. decided to go a step further to recognize the important role that employees played in bringing about the honor. They offered their employees a chance to explain how they would change the world--and gave them the opportunity to receive up to $5,000 to turn their idea into reality. This week, the five grant winners were announced and profiled. Of the five, two specifically mentioned how Project WET worked into their plans. That level of excitement among LS&Co. employees for the program is thrilling.
Members of the Levi's Service Corps lead Project WET activities as part of the Worker Well-being program Dominique Durward of South Africa, whose work will be profiled in an upcoming blog post, will use her funds in partnership with Tomorrow Trust. Dominique will work with girls at the Ukhozi Girls Club "to build confidence, combat fear and give them the courage to dream and reach their aspirations." (Ukhozi is the Zulu word for "eagle".) She told Unzipped that she had gotten to know the group through her 2016 Project WET training.
Oregon's Teresa Pfaff plans to use the Project WET curriculum to teach about water and hygiene in combination with installing sanitation stations for people who are homeless, so that they "have a place to go and clean up on a daily basis, helping to prevent the spread of Hepatitis A."
Congratulations to all five of the grant winners, and best of luck changing the world!
#AstroFriday: Astronaut Ricky Arnold Tackles Your "Water in Space" Questions
Ricky Arnold (Photo by NASA) This March, Astronaut Ricky Arnold will return to space, this time for a six-month stint on the International Space Station. A former science teacher, Ricky will be taking part in NASA's Year of Education on Station initiative, sharing his love of STEM and passion for teaching.
Before beginning his final launch preparations, Ricky agreed to answer eight questions about water and space for Project WET educators. The questions were gathered from Project WET coordinators around the world and range from the practical to the highly theoretical. We'll be featuring one question per week on our blog and social media until Ricky's launch. Follow along using the #AstroFriday hashtag to see all the questions and answers!
As part of the Year of Education on Station, NASA has also developed STEM activities related to the station and its role in NASA's journey to Mars. K-16 teachers can do these activities with their students by checking out NASA's website. While on the ISS, Ricky will take part in "STEMonstrations", educational demonstrations highlighting specific topics—including water. Project WET will be working on a lesson plan to complement some of these resources. NASA has established the hashtag #TeacherOnBoard to follow for the latest information about ways educators and students can interact with the International Space Station.
Here's today's #AstroFriday question and answer:
Ricky on a 2009 mission (Photo by NASA) Project WET: How does being in space change the ways you look at and think about water?
Ricky Arnold: In a spacecraft, water is one of our most precious resources. It is heavy to launch, technologically challenging to purify, and far too valuable to waste. Some of the greatest engineering advances we have made on the International Space Station have been centered on recycling water. We are not at 100 percent yet, but we are getting close. Since Earth is essentially a spacecraft (a tectonically active one), the challenge is the same - as the number of crewmembers continues to grow, so does the demand for potable water.
Finally, water is a remarkable, polar molecule that makes life on Earth possible. We don't really appreciate the polarity of water so much here on Earth because of the impact of gravity on most water we observe. In space, however, we can see water assuming wild shapes and behaving in ways driven almost totally by its polarity.

Aww... that's such a cute little cliche thing to say. Little Levi.
Brandi, my girlfriend, set up a free show at Starbucks last night that I played along with some friends and this band - Ives. It was definitely the most fun I've ever had playing a show. It was incredible. She did such a good job setting it up. Seriously, like, 60 people came to the thing. My friend Amanda even brought a firepit and we roasted marshmellows. It was great.
I met an awesome person named Christopher last night. Seriously, man, if you read this blog, you were the biggest blessing to me. Incredible.
I'm sitting in Satellite right now, listening to some coffee shop mix consisting of Manchester Orchestra, Band of Horses, Bright Eyes, and Death Cab. Yep. Sometime soon I'm planning on setting aside a day to write some new material and start working on my CD.
Life is exciting right now, though. Some cool opportunities have come up for me to be able to play quite a bit, and I'm going to tour with my best friend and his band We Were Born As Ghosts in January... so I'm stoked.
I miss HM a lot. It sucks. I get pretty bummed out sometimes. That place really had an impact on me, and I probably just consider Doug one of my best friends now. It was a beautiful time, and will be one of my fondest memories without a doubt.
I'm doing some work for Veil Arms Clothing now... helping out with shows and promotions and bookings and what have you. I'm loving it. I'm so happy that I didn't have to come back to Starbucks. This is where my heart lies, and I'm stoked that the Lord has so blessed me. I seriously don't understand it. It's crazy. I never would have dreamed that he would work things out the way that he has.
I read a very encouraging verse the other day. It's from 1 Corinthians 3, and it says:
Everything belongs to you: 22 Paul and Apollos and Peter ; the whole world and life and death; the present and the future. Everything belongs to you, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
That's just really beautiful. I've been thinking about how we are given every spiritual blessing, and about how much potential we have in Christ. It's something that I can't possibly begin to grasp. It just blows my mind.
God just blows my mind.
The End.

A Day in the Life of a Middle School English Teacher
**Warning: This post contains some hard truths and surprisingly pleasant facts about teaching**
My pre-intern is ending his time working in my classroom, and I have asked him this question: "Are you sure you still want to be an English teacher?" I asked him this question with a hint of sarcasm, but also one of seriousness. The Michigan Education Association published an article about "The Disappearing Educator" that I think all teachers and those involved in education should read. Where are we going? The answer is leaving teaching and not choosing to become a teacher in the first place. We have all heard the statistic in education about teachers leaving before they reach five years. I would argue that teachers are in jeopardy well beyond five years. Put us on the endangered species list.
Throughout the seven years I have taught, I have come to realize that there are moments of joy and sorrow in education, and the delicate balance is learning to cope in the moments where this job sucks. Still, if I am honest with you, I have to admit that I am not sure how long I will be teaching. There are many downsides to teaching that will eventually pull the educators like me (type a, perfectionist, self-critical, etc) out of their decorated classrooms. I wanted to walk through an average day of teaching and what that would involve-both good and bad- for those considering going into the field of teaching. A common denominator when I am in working with pre-service teachers is that they don't realize what the day-to-day schedule looks like. Often, even in field placements, they will leave halfway through the day.
Daily Agenda 5:30am-9pm
5:30am: Wake up, hit snooze a few times, and get out of bed. Let the dog out and make breakfast. Finish editing the four last essays I gave up on before I pack my school bag with papers I had left out on the counter. Get ready to go to work. (shower, getting dressed, etc.)
6:45am: Leave house for work. I am fortunate to only live 15-20 minutes away from my building. My dear friend at school lives an hour away. She insists on the drive because of the school that we work in; I agree. I love my building, and the people I work with on my team and in my hallway. I am surrounded by people that are focused on improving their strategies in the classroom and are open to trying new things. This professional learning community means the world to me.
7:05am: Arrive at work. Prep my agenda board if I did not do it the night before. Turn on my computer and log-in. Load document camera and turn on projector screen that has welcome screen loaded into Google Slides for students. Try to find a positive quotation to put up on the board for students. Check to make sure my materials are ready-this includes paper, pencils, etc. Take that first sip of coffee.
7:25: Students released into the building. They are coming. I try to make sure I am standing by my door to welcome each student. I like to say their names each day as they enter and a greeting. This is my way of saying "I see you." I want them to see me too.
7:33: First bell rings. Go time! I start each class the same way, introduce the agenda and daily focus, try to check in with each set of students throughout the given hour. My favorite teaching training through Adaptive Schools talks about purpose. I like to start each hour with my purpose for learning that day. I am deathly afraid of the question, "what did you learn at school today?" from a parent and their student replies with "nothing." Trust me, we don't do "nothing." This is business. We do on average three activities that I have prepped each day: I DO, WE DO, YOU DO. I like the balance of this scaffolding, especially for my struggling readers and writers. A typical lesson breakdown looks like this:
Lesson Breakdown for BOTH General and Advanced Classes:
1. Welcome and Call to Purpose
2. Activity #1: I DO. We did notes this day in class. General English focused on how to fill out a source collection page for their research projects. Advanced focused on the difference between in-text citations and an MLA works cited page.
3. Activity #2: WE DO. In both preps, we do a practice activity related to content. They get to see me walk through the material, and then they get to work with each at their tables regarding the lesson. I like to get them up and moving during this time as well.
4. Activity #3: YOU DO. Time to practice independently! Chromebooks came out at the end of this lesson and students were off on finding their research articles in General and starting to map out their sub-headings in Advanced. I was under the pressure cooker to get this activity done before Spring Break because then I lose my technology to state testing when we return.
7:33-10:42: First three classes. Here are some highlights:
Student A shares a creative writing warm up prompt in class. In front of other students. This makes my heart happy because this student is painfully shy.
Student B raises his hand to give an answer. He never raises his hand. Heart happy moment #2.
7 Students try to leave to go to the bathroom during Hour 2.
5 Students have not put their name on their paper during paper pass back. However, they claim this from the no-name bin. (A colleague of mine has made her no-name bin a shredder...I do enjoy this tactic)
I start Hour 3 by reminding Student C, D, E, and F to get their writing portfolios from the shelf before class.
Student G asks if they explained their evidence well enough in their already written body paragraph #2 (Tiny teacher triumph moment...hello, independent writer).
I get to run through my lesson from first hour again in third hour again and fix mistakes. I love when this happens because I have already done a trial period of the lesson. Preps for each class are a big deal in teaching.
I dismiss students the same way each hour. They wait for dismissal from me, and then I make sure to tell them to have a good day.
10:42-11:10: Lunch time. I will often hear that people call this breakfast time. It is lunch. If I do not have my microwave soup and use the restroom here, it is curtains for the rest of the day. I will often run and make copies during this time if something didn't go well, or if I need to leave earlier that day after school so I am ready for the next day.
11:14-12:13: Subbing on my plan. Yes, this is a huge issue. The sub shortage issue in my district causes teachers to give up their "plan time" and break during the day. Many districts have done away with this time for teachers. Period. Let us all take a moment to mourn being able to breathe during the day. If I do not have to sub on my plan, I get a plan! This means I have 58 minutes to do those items listed above in lunchtime during this time period, and more. I don't like grading at school, but smaller formative assessments are a must to do during this time because I am always trying to limit the amount of paperwork I take home on a regular basis.
12:13-2:20: Last two classes. I have 150 sixth grade students that I am charged with teaching. My last two classes of the day are often filled with ups and downs. Here are some highlights:
5 Students are tardy. They are coming from gym class on the other side of the building. My tardy policy is if I see you in the hallway and you are making an effort, we are good to go. If that door closes...a tardy pass is needed to enter. My 5 were yelling, "Mrs. Hampton, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Student A and B are often reluctant in my Hour 5. They don't get much sleep at home, but are both amazing creative writers. I use this amazing creative power to my advantage.
Student C is present today! I have not seen him in 3 days. Cue interrogation about where he has been and what I can do to help facilitate getting him to school if needed.
Student D almost lost her mind. She is obviously having a bad day with her head down on her desk, and my friendly prompt of "is everything okay?" awakened the Kraken. Cue giving her a time out to take a break. We have a good chat when she comes back from getting a drink of water.
Student E, F, and G work really well together in a small writing group. I overhear them giving quality peer review edits to each other.
Student H, I, and J stay behind at the end of the day to help me clean up. I always hold students to the expectation to clean up at the end of the day, but these ones stayed to pick up lost pencils, plug in chromebooks, and ask how my weekend was grading their papers. They are appreciated.
2:25: After-school activities. I often will hold my after school poetry club, Spilling Ink, or work with students in tutoring (especially during essay writing time). Sometimes I will have parents come in for meetings, or we will have building after school meetings. This time varies. It is normal for me not to leave my building until 4:00pm. I call these the "lost hours." They are lost because they move quickly and seemingly add on extra time to the day that you don't consider in the life of a teacher. Many non-teachers will ask me, "don't you get out at 2:20? I would love that." I look back at them the way Batman glares at his enemies. I should probably work on being more understanding.
4:00-6:00: Arrive home. Relax for a time period. Play with my husky-lab. Check in with my husband, and we make dinner. These are some of my favorite moments of the day.
6:00-9:00: Prep for the next day's teaching plans, answer emails, and grade papers. I have a rule of cutting off work at 9 so I can get some rest for the next day. Sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't. It gets complicated as a student needs feedback or when situations arise that need to be handled. (Also, when you working on an awesome blog/passion project that will cause you to become distracted as well.) This is the area that needs the most revision in my opinion. This doesn't happen every day, but it is typical for me to use this chunk of time for these activities for school.
9:00: Sleep!
Some Pleasant Facts
Everyday I have moments of joy. Whether it is an interaction with a student, or a joke a kid told in class. I have moments each day that make me smile and my heart happy. Working with kids has always been the reason that I do this, however, sometimes I get distracted by the marathon that is the field of teaching's pace.
I really love teaching writing. Nothing gets me like making a writing frame or revising a lesson so students can understand. I love reading their writing and helping them to create their writing. It gets daunting after essay #63, but the basic gist is that I love the craft of the subject that I chose in the first place years ago. This is my purpose. How lucky am I to have found my purpose?
I teach because of tough kids. There is nothing like a moment with a kid that can't stand being at school or who has a hard time with reading or writing yells out at the end of the hour, "class is over already?" This supplies enough fuel to keep going for weeks. Even if spring break is weeks away.
Some Hard Truths
I have a red crate that measures 16"H x 18"W x 15"D. It is on wheels and will often come home with me on the weekend. I hate this crate more than anything, but a giant tote bag does not cut it anymore. It will more than likely be filled with papers to review or grade that need to be put through my paper cycle. While I have gotten better at grading items in class and reducing paperwork, the hard truth is that as an ENGLISH teacher, we have papers. Mountains of them. We chose this, but nobody told us we chose this when we were taking those preliminary teacher tests. English teachers have more work than other teachers. This is not meant to cause pity, this is meant to spark conversation. This conversation will vary depending on grade level and number of students taught each year.
The above is a typical day. You will do the math, but it is 12 hours. I may not be with students every minute, but each of those seconds are devoted to planning a lesson, working with a team member, or going above and beyond for the kids in my building. 12 hours is real. I will hit 60 hours without actually jumping into that big red crate that is above on the weekend. My goal each year is to try to get it down to 50 hours a week. I love Angela Watson's podcast and support she gives to teachers that want to work 50 hours a week. I still haven't figured it out yet, but I am trying.
Learn to say no. Last year, I was the English Department Chair, Mentor Teacher for new teachers, District Cultural Responsiveness Facilitator, Interdisciplinary Team Leader, Poetry Club Advisor...and oh, yea a regular ol' sixth grade teacher with 150 kids. All at once. I had lost my mind and had lost the ability to say no. I was flattered with the opportunity to lead. I had to learn the hard way when my husband asked if I could take the day off the next day to rest, and I replied with "I think I can take off a day a week from Friday." This was a much needed wake up call.
Writing Mindset Reflection: Would YOU be a middle school English teacher? What do you do to maintain a growth mindset in a tough job?

I have never found anything as calming as spending time on the ocean. Staring out at the sea gives the same tranquil effect as the best prescription (in my, ahem, experienced opinion). That's why when I saw these large scale prints of photographer Mary Ellen Bartley's work at Ruby Beets in Sag Harbor, NY I fell in love! They illustrate the crystal calm, tumultuous darkness and sparkling magic of the ocean in various seasons. A new goal in life is to own one of these gorgeous pieces!
This week we in the Northeast also saw how powerfully destructive water can be as many communities suffered flooding from Irene. In particular, the area of Vermont my family owns a home in was sadly destroyed in many parts. Please send your thoughts to those needing the courage and strength to rebuild.

Quality should be the rule, not the exception…!
FineConnection is an IT company based in the Netherlands and founded in 2001 by Paul van Bergen. It focuses on the development and marketing of affordable and smart SNMP-based network monitoring and management software.
Monitor one – classic
It all started in 2001 with the first release of "Monitor one", desktop-oriented network monitoring software inspired by NMC 4000 from Network Managers Inc. Shortly after the first release, the software received some attention in the "network world", not so much because of the flexible solution for collecting and displaying SNMP-related data, but because of the way network infrastructures (switches, routers, servers, etc.) were displayed in topology diagrams (maps). At that time it was still normal to work with simple lists. Monitor one was different from other products, it was something new and apparently it followed the right path! With every new release, functionality was extended, refined and streamlined and stability improved.
In the years that followed, Monitor one grew through requests, suggestions and (sometimes) complaints from users, but after a while it became clear that times were changing! Applications in general were migrating from desktop-oriented to web oriented and there was a stronger focus to user-friendliness and elegance.
Monitor one – the second generation
It finally became clear that it was impossible to turn the "classic" Monitor into a modern web app. That is why in 2009 it was decided to build a completely new product, with as much knowledge, experience and insights as possible from the classic Monitor One, in order to obtain the best possible monitor application package with the latest technology and design.
The name of the new suite: MonitorONE G2

MY WEEK OF LIVING BIGLY: T-Minus Five Days

Now Playing: Take Me Out to the Ballgame as performed by Donald Duck as performed by Bill Murray
Well, folks, it's over. That's it. Donald Trump will become the next President of the United States of America. The world is ending. The end is nigh. Goodnight, sweet prince.
How did we get here? There will be think pieces a-plenty for decades about how America for the first time in its history decided to elect a strongman. They will be far more intelligently written than anything I can here produce. Instead, I'll offer my answer to the previous question. We got here because the Chicago Cubs are World Champions.
Trump hasn't won the White House just yet, but at this point how can he not? The Cubs just won a World Series. Nostradamus predicted this, didn't he? It's 2016. Bob Dylan has a Nobel Prize, the Cubs are World Champions, and Donald Trump is the Leader of the Free World. When you put it like that, it's almost poetic. Almost.
I'm a Met fan. I had no rooting interest in this World Series. On the one hand I hate the Cleveland team name and logo and have no real connection with any of their players, but on the other hand I love a good story, and I didn't want the good story of the Cubs to end. The narrative of the Cubs is that they don't win World Series championships. Their motivation, their goal, their want is to win a World Series for their fans. Now that the goal has been achieved and the need satisfied, their arc is now complete. Everything that happens now will be effectively a fresh start. They will likely win several more World Series over the course of the next decade, they're that dominant. But the Cubs aren't supposed to be the dominant team. They're supposed to be the team that hasn't won. Now that they've won, that can only mean that the world is ending and Donald Trump is going to be President.
This World Series was in a lot of ways like the election itself. It was far too long, it had moments of sheer brilliance right next to moments of sheer panic right next to moments of sheer stupidity, and it ended in a highly contested, knock-down, drag out fight. And in the end, it came down to a few people in Ohio.
The most important similarity between the World Series and this election is the emotional element. This election is not an election based on facts. The truth has no buying power. "Truthiness" - as coined by Colbert-in-character, giving more credence to feelings than facts - runs this race. The two people at the top of the major party tickets are so diametrically opposed and so disagreeable in their own ways that emotions by definition have to come into play.
Same goes for baseball. This was a storybook series. The two teams with the longest droughts playing each other, going down to the seventh game, tied into the 10th inning, rain delay, no matter how you look at it this is going to make a really good bad movie. I'll say the over/under on when it comes out is ten years. Baseball is nothing if not dated, which makes it a nostalgic game, and therefore it is built on emotion in a way that football or basketball never can be.
But if you remove the romanticism from the discussion about this World Series, what are we really looking at? The Cubs were supposed to win this series. All season long, the driving narrative has been "Who can possible stop the Cubs?" Them winning the World Series was almost a foregone conclusion. It really should never have gone to seven games in the first place. But since it did, emotions ran high, and ultimately it's a perfect ending to a perfect story - a perfect, emotion-driven story.
So what do we do when the two biggest news stories this week - the election and baseball - are built upon feelings rather than facts? Because the facts are that Donald Trump is unfit to be an employee of any kind at any establishment, much less the President, and the Cubs winning the World Series, in context, is anti-climactic. It's fine for a game to ignore facts in favor or storyline; at the end of the day, the MLB is an entertainment company. The Presidency? The job application process for that office should be a resume contest, not a pissing one. So good for you, Cubs, and thank you, MLB, for giving America one last happy memory.

In NY synagogue, Saudi Royal and ex-Mossad chief debate Trump's Iran approach
'After Trump decertifies nuke deal and vows to leave it if Congress doesn't make changes,' Efrain Halevy says deal should 'focus on the nuclear issue and nothing else'
Eric Cortellessa covers American politics for The Times of Israel.
WASHINGTON — While the Iran deal has brought Israel and Sunni Arab states together in ways few imagined just years ago, difference were still clear when former Saudi and Israeli spy chiefs shared a stage in a New York synagogue.
During the unprecedented event Sunday, Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, a former chief of Saudi intelligence and ambassador to the United States and the United Kingdom and Efraim Halevy, former director of the Mossad debated the US President Donald Trump recently-announced strategy for amending the nuclear agreement, while also addressing Tehran's ongoing non-nuclear provocations.
"If you want to put pressure on Iran, you have to do whatever it means to do that and decertification is one way of putting in that pressure to make them live up not just to the letter of the deal, but the spirit," said Faisal.
"The signers of the deal, when they signed it, portrayed the holy picture that it was going to turn into a very friendly and open and hospitable place to do business with, but that hasn't happened."
Faisal spoke during a panel discussion with Halevy and Michèle Flournoy, former US undersecretary of defense for policy. Organized by the Israel Policy Forum, a liberal Middle East advocacy organization, the talk was moderated by its executive director David Halperin.
Faisal, who has appeared onstage with Israeli officials before, told the audience the summit was his first time in a Jewish synagogue. He said he hoped "it would not be the last."
While the ex-Saudi official said he thought there was a "lack of clarity" regarding the Trump administration's current policy, he praised their willingness to engage the region more directly and confront Iran actions outside the nuclear realm.
But Halevy, for his part, warned against that approach and said Israel did not want the US to go that route.
Instead, he insisted the deal should stay in place, if only because it prevents Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal for the next 13 years. During those intervening years, there will be opportunities to address the other issues
The US should "focus on the nuclear issue and nothing else," he said. "The Iran deal was not an ideal deal. But this was because Israel did not wish the negotiations to include all the items on the agenda."
Halevy went on to stress that Israel could handle the threat from Iran, a country that has recurrently said openly that it seeks the Jewish state's destruction.
"Israel is indestructible. We are able to, if necessary, protect ourselves and emerge intact," he said. "I have huge faith in our military establishment, our defense establishment, and our intelligence establishment."
On October 13, Trump decertified Iran's compliance with the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). That in itself does not undo the pact. Rather, it punts a decision to Congress over whether to renew sanctions on Iran after a 60-day review period.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson explained to reporters that the administration wants lawmakers to amend the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA), a domestic law that forces the White House to report to Congress every 90 days on whether Iran is abiding by the accord.
They will ask the Senate to use the two-month window to unilaterally impose new "triggers" on the deal that would outlast the JCPOA's sunset provisions and prohibit Iran from developing and testing ballistic missiles.
The White House has explained this move as an attempt to extend its focus on Tehran beyond the nuclear realm, incorporating the Islamic Republic's other destabilizing activities, as well.
Trump has said repeatedly that if Congress fails to enact the changes he seeks to the deal, he may very well just walk away from it on his own.
Faisal also urged the Trump administration to take a more hardline approach toward Syria's brutal dictator, Bashar Assad, and to persuade Russia to drop its support for his regime, which is responsible for the deaths of more than half a million Syrians during the country's ongoing civil war.
"Assad is the biggest terrorist. He has killed more people than Hamas, ISIS or al-Nusra," he said. "Therefore, the effort needs to be to convince Russia not to necessarily abandon, but to keep an arm's distance from Mr. Assad. If that happens, we can get things happening in Syria."

Nevada's Diverse Businesses: Minority-Owned Companies Thrive in the Silver State
The year is 2012 and it feels strange and a little uncomfortable to be considering minority-owned businesses. Twelve years into the 21st century, it seems there should no longer be a designation for minority-owned business – business should be business and everyone should be working together through the slowly recovering economy. Which is pretty much the case once a business … [Read more...] about Nevada's Diverse Businesses: Minority-Owned Companies Thrive in the Silver State

The Justia Lawyer Directory supplies lawyer, authorized aid & providers profiles by practice space and location. If you're convinced that your lawyer has completed something that deserves a criticism, your best option is to contact the Law Society (NOT the Bar Association) of the province by which the lawyer works. Next, you can filter down your search to legal professionals with experience on cases just like yours. DIRECT – Service medical information present that the disabling situation was recognized throughout military service and the condition has continued to have an effect on the veteran. These tactics don't intimidate assortment lawyers and simply mark your file for further particular consideration. That's proper, I am now a Partner and Trial Lawyer at the Firm of Raiser & Kenniff.
The Lawyer version will get you that plus certified documents for court docket filings and Certified experiences for taxes; and a back door for the lawyer to go in and overview (without being able to make changes). Most people who have served within the navy service of our nation will (or ought to) acknowledge this signal. But both experiences change her, and ten years later, Hye-sung is an apathetic public defender who does not care about her shoppers and only does her job for the wage. In regards to the Boston Massacre, I assume it was tenacious of John Adams to conform to be the defendant's lawyer.
The personal harm lawyers will be able to let you know what you should get around, together with the medical paperwork and records. I actually have revealed articles on non-compete agreements (Buffalo Law Journal 2009), implementing international money judgments in New York (12 N.Y. Litigator sixteen 2007), electronic service of process (51 Buff. At least that's our understanding of it. If legal professionals would simply specific themselves using differential equations like grown-ups, it might make our life lots simpler.
This lawyer also typically referred to as the plaintiff layer, is accountable for interviewing potential shoppers and evaluating their circumstances to find out authorized matter, identify the distinct points rooted with in the shopper's larger downside and extensively research the difficulty in an effort to build a strong case. Forget lawyers as they're, well… attorneys and as has been accurately said here by many… are NOT out for your finest interest. This is a follow up to my submit on why it is best to name me (or your real property lawyer) first.
The Court followed the Advocate General and confirmed that Article three of the Directive gave access to the authorized market in Italy, not the Italian profession of avvocato (lawyer), subsequently there was no evasion of nationwide rules. There can often be an overwhelming amount of legal professionals with totally different specialties, and they all want your business. I lost my staff comp hearing and my lawyer to not trouble to appeal because nobody ever win!

In the United States, Black Freedom Movement leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, as was Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy, and a candidate for the same office. An unpopular war was raging in Southeast Asia, and uprisings in major U.S. cities were sparked after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was supporting a labor strike by black sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee.
College students in the U.S. played a major role in confronting the racist power structure and other forms of social injustice of the day. Examples of this can be found in the actions of students at Columbia and Howard Universities who occupied buildings to protest administrative policies that perpetuated discrimination. In Orangeburg, South Carolina, 3 young black men were killed after police opened fire on a group of South Carolina State College students protesting a racially segregated bowling alley near campus. University students in France joined workers in protesting class discrimination, bringing the country's economy to a virtual standstill. In Mexico, officers fired on university students protesting political bureaucracy killing or wounding over one thousand in Mexico City, the site of the 1968 Summer Olympics.
As the games convened, the iconic image of Olympic Gold and Silver medalist track athletes John Carlos and Tommy Smith, in black stockinged feet and black leather gloves, raising their fists in protest punctuated the resolve of a younger generation to confront injustice. In 2018, just 50 years later, college students are navigating instances where they are face to face with a society that at times mirrors the socio-political atmosphere of 1968. With this in mind, the tides of resistance and awareness have become exponentially important to scholars who study the field of higher education.
Museum of Education Director Toby Jenkins, Ph.D. is co-leading a national team of professional and graduate student curators in developing the exhibition, Remember: 1968. This is an interactive exhibit that highlights a timeline of the year 1968, with particular emphasis on the sociopolitical contexts of higher education and campus activism.
The exhibit will debut at the 2018 Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) in Tampa, FL. The exhibit will then travel to the University of South Carolina and be displayed for the Spring 2019 semester. This initiative is a partnership between Indiana University, the University of South Carolina, and the Association of the Study of Higher Education.

One of the things that can be challenging for an entrepreneur, especially one who's job is to help others achieve their goals, is to practice what they preach. Recognizing that, about 18 months ago, the three of us began a series of meetings that pulled apart every aspect of our business, then a spritely two years old. Basically, we consulted for ourselves!
Like most startups we had a business plan. We spent months labouring over it, crafting it to perfection. Upon completing it, and opening the business, we did the logical thing and promptly tossed it out the window. Despite our best efforts to identify markets and opportunities, there were unknowns that became...known. As a result, it became clear pretty early that the path we'd laid out in our business plan wasn't going to lead us where we wanted to go. It was fine for a while, as we ran with the opportunities that presented themselves instead of sticking to a business plan that ultimately was too rigid for our specific business needs.
It took some time for us to recognize that while a detailed business plan for Copperworks wasn't going to help us to achieve our goals, we did need some direction to help us figure out what we wanted and how to get there. For us the answer was a strategic plan emphasizing flexibility. Over the course of about 6 weeks we mapped out a tight, five page strategic plan and a one page communications plan. What we began to see and understand was that as a small company, capable of doing many different kinds of work, being quick and nimble was our biggest advantage. The tools we developed have helped us to exploit our agility and to be more decisive when evaluating projects to undertake.
That's not to say that a business plan isn't an appropriate planning document, it just depends on the type of business you are developing. For us, it just never quite fit.
Not only did this process make us better at running our business, but I think it made us better at the services and products we offer. It's important to stop sometimes and consider why and how we do what we do, whether in business or in life. You might just be surprised at the answers you get in response to those two basic questions.
I think of all of this today because we've just completed our year-end, and we have conclusive evidence that our planning document and the direction it laid out for us was the correct one. And, well, to be honest? I'm just really excited to see a plan come together!

China and Russia on July 19 delayed a US bid to the 15-member United Nations Security Council to halt refined petroleum exports to North Korea, asking for more detail on a US accusation that Pyongyang breached sanctions, Reuters reported.
Transporting refined petroleum products to North Korea via ship-to-ship transfers is reportedly continuing despite UN sanctions. Last week, the US told the UN that as of May 30, there had been 89 illicit ship-to-ship transfers of refined petroleum products this year by Pyongyang, according to the news agency.
The UNSC toughened sanctions last year after Pyongyang said it had conducted missile tests that put the US mainland in range of its nuclear weapons. Under the sanctions, North Korea reportedly can annually import up to 4 million barrels of crude and 500,000 barrels of products.
At a meeting in Singapore in June, US President Donald J. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed a broad statement, calling for a firm and unwavering commitment to complete the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola told New Europe that NATO has not been engaged on any level regarding North Korea issue and hasn't been asked to take part by either the US or UN.
Russian vessels have engaged in smuggling fuel to North Korean vessels in violation of UN sanctions, according to a Reuters report citing European security sources on December 29, 2017.
The report, titled, "Russian tankers fuelled North Korea via transfers at sea" noted that the vessels included the Vityaz. The transfers in October and November 2017 indicate that smuggling from Russia to North Korea has evolved to loading cargoes at sea since Reuters reported in September that North Korean ships were sailing directly from Russia to their homeland.
Additionally, petroleum products supplied to North Korea originate from around the world. But, as Reuters reported, Russian port authorities have started to crack down on ships violating the sanctions.
These ships now face being banned from legitimate activity in the future. The continued practice could result in long-term consequences that reach beyond trade with North Korea.
During transfers, there have been incidents where North Koreans falsified documents and gauges to reflect lower than delivered product amounts. The North Koreans have taken advantage of the fact that these ships are violating sanctions and therefore have no legal recourse to claim financial losses.
Pyongyang relies on refined petroleum to fuel its struggling economy.
Tracing ships
As data sharing becomes increasingly available in the shipping community matching suppliers with transporters, tracing ships that are violating sanctions becomes doable.
John A. Gauci-Maistre, Chairman and CEO at Economicard Group, who has more than 40 years of experience in shipping, explained that all vessels now have an International Maritime Organization (IMO) number. The IMO number is your identification," he told New Europe. "If they have an IMO number they are fully traceable but if they come perhaps from a substandard flag state or a rogue state or a rogue company managing a proper flag that there are ways and means because if the wrong IMO number is given on the ship then you know the ship is breaking the sanctions but you don't know which ship it is. If you have false documentation, it's a different story," Gauci-Maistre explained.
"There is the AIS and that follows the ship everywhere. You do it from your mobile. You can track any ship you want and you will know where it is and where it is going and where it's coming from, including the speed it's doing the whole lot. So if any country wants to follow, it's very easy and very doable, including advising port states and flag states that have broken sanctions," Gauci-Maistre explained.
Transporting refined petroleum products to North Korea via ship-to-ship transfers is a high-risk activity that violates the United Nations' sanctions. Authorities could seize vessels and their personnel or ban vessels for future port calls for little cause.
"If the ship is caught, it can be traced so we will know who it is. If the ship is not caught I guess it's like any other common criminal. If someone breaks into your house and this person is not caught you can't do anything about it. You first have to catch the thief before he can be prosecuted. Before a ship can be named or named and shamed, if needed be, but before anything can be done to arrest the vessel or the owning company, first the ship has to be caught," Gauci-Maistre explained.
"If one ship is under suspicion and the other one isn't, the other ship would get caught automatically because you track the one ship you have suspicion on, if it encounters another ship halfway in the middle of the sea, you then know straight away the name of the other ship, and you start tracing the other ship, then you follow where it goes to, you trace the other ship where it came from and where the other ship is going to so everything traceable nowadays. It all depends on what information they have. But we know that fuel smuggling and sanctions breaking have been there and I think will stay there no matter what the modern equipment to catch the sanctions breakers," said Gauci-Maistre.

Work has started to upgrade Melton's war memorial as a final appeal is sounded to raise the remaining money required for the scheme.
Ornamental railings have been installed in the gardens of Egerton Lodge in front of the plaques which list the town's fallen service personnel in conflicts over the last century.
Interpretation boards with photographs of those killed and information about their life and service are to be erected to keep their memory alive for future generations and as an educational resource.
Melton Town Estate received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £9,800 towards the work and the Melton Times launched an appeal to help raise the remainder - £2,635 has so far been contributed and another £1,300 is needed.
Town estate feoffee John Southerington, who is co-ordinating the project, said: "The railings that have gone in are restoring what was there 100 years ago, when the ironwork was probably removed for the war effort.
"It gives a real emphasis to the war memorial and makes it more of a special area within the park.
"The interpretation boards are still being put together using the photographs and information which have appeared in the Melton Times since the end of last year.
"People in Melton have been very generous already but we just need this last bit of money so we can finish off the work."
Since the appeal for the extra cash was started in November, a number of fallen servicemen whose names are not on the memorial have been discovered.
It is thought this is because familiies did not come forward at the time to tell the authorities or the Melton Times because they were in mourning or because they did not have sufficient literacy to write letters to inform them.
Mr Southerington added: "We now have over 400 names for those killed in the First World War, compared to the 245 who are listed on the stone plaques at the moment.
"We are still carrying out research so we include everyone. It could be that some town serviceman could have enlisted in surrounding villages but they should stil be included on the memorial, of course."
l To make a donation to our appeal at the Melton Mowbray Building Society in Nottingham Street - quote the account number GGX3326893MEL and make cheques payable to Melton Mowbray Town Estate (War Memorial) appeal if you would like to give some money.
l If you have a photograph and details of a family member killed in the world wars email the pictures and information to email@example.com or bring it to the Melton Times office in Nottingham Street during normal office hours (9am to 5pm). Contact Nick on (01664) 412523.

Years ago in New York City, I visited the Whitney Museum of American Art. My Art career was in it's early years. I wandered through the building enjoying the Art works displayed. Hopper's, O'keefe's, Pollack's, then standing in front of an enormous red Rothko the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
One day I'll be here, I thought to myself. In those days I was fueled by a self confidence that was a tad off the hook. It was a long time ago, life has cooled the flame somewhat and it was probably wishful thinking. But, a guy's got to dream and I still have a long way to go in this life. Like Russell Wilson said to his teammates before winning the Superbowl "Why not us!" Well why not me? It's not completely impossible. Is it?(tangled up in red…Hooper)
So, i'll stick with this dream that one day before I leave this Earth my work will hang in The Whitney. It's a long range goal and I am comfortable with the waiting. If anyone out there reading this can help place me closer to the steps of The Whitney with paintings in tow, feel free to lend a hand. In the meantime , it's one step in front of the other, smelling the cherry blossoms along the way…Happy Easter!

You'll help our event planners. CSDC offers an early registration window so that our event team can create accurate projections for finalizing logistical considerations with venue staff.

You will need:
- 1 Bunche kale
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a backing sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale and dry in a salad spinner (make sure the kale is very dry).
Using a knife remove the core of the kale and cut the remaining parts of the leafs into 2-3 inch pieces.
Place the kale into a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, toss and make sure all the kale is coated well.
Lay the kale in a single layer onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake the kale for 7 minutes and then flip each piece over and continue baking for another 7 minutes.
Start checking on the kale after 5 minutes, you don't want to overcook the kale, since it burns very easy.
Remove from the oven and cool.
I like to sprinkle mine with Nutritional yeast.
