"Caution- Students Tweeting"
As society and technology change, so does literacy. Can social media positively impact 21st century literacy-learning?
Twenty-first century students need to be able to:
* Develop proficiency with the tools of technology
* Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally
* Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes
* Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information
* Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts
* Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments
Twitter is a social networking tool, which I have utilized extensively in both my 7th & 8th grade classrooms, as a literacy-learning opportunity. Listed below are several tried and exploratory ideas and lessons, which positively impacts 21st century literacy-learning in the classroom. This is a limited list, as there are hundreds of ideas for utilizing Twitter in the classroom.
1. Student or Class Hosted Twitter Chats– Students or collaborative groups choose 3-5 questions, which will be the topic of the chat. The questions should be based on a current theme or issue of literary study. Students will be the facilitators throughout the event.
2. Family Twitter Chat Night– As an extension of the classroom Tweet-up, a topic is sent home in advance with a set time for the chat. Families are encouraged to chat as a family unit. A follow-up chat is held the next day in class, as a written reflection of the event.
3. Fictional Twitter Characters– Students create fictional twitter accounts of literary characters or historical figures as they work through a current problem or issue. This is a great activity when teaching characterization, as the characters must react to current events based on their character traits in the story, novel, or historical event.
4. Fictional Twitter Character Debate– Students produce a Tweet dialogue between two opposing characters about a key issue in the story, current event, or future event.
5. Tweet-story– Begin by tweeting out a story starter. Students continue the story in sequence through tweets. This activity can be constructed as a group or an individual activity.
6. Twitter Version of 'Pass It On'– Individual students or groups are each assigned one element of the plot sequence. They are allowed only the 140 characters to write their character description, setting, climax, etc. Students will tweet out their descriptions in order based on the plot diagram.
7. Create a Poll– Students will create their own poll to gauge opinion or gather information on current issues related to the theme or issue in a story or article.
8. Curating Presentations– Students participate in and curate conversations through tweets during a presentation by other students or a guest speaker. Students are prompted in advance as to key points based on the issue.
9. Global Tweeting– Test your genius! In an effort to build students' curiosity, ask students to tweet their "big thinking" questions -… what if… how might…. I wonder…… For example: What if there was 14 months in a year? This activity will also help students begin to build their own PLN.
10. Twitter Community Connection– Establish a partnership with local government or a charitable organization in your community. Use Twitter to reach a broader audience, as students discuss the latest cultural or educational event in the area.
11. Debating Social Issues– Poll the class as to what current issue they would like to follow; this could also be based on the theme or conflict in a story. Students subscribe to relevant hash tags and accounts from both perspectives of an issue. Students engage in debate by supporting their arguments with evidence.
12. Writing Book Reviews– Twitter provides a great format for students when writing micro-reviews of books, poems, or current articles.
13. Engage in Word Games– There are numerous activities in which to engage students in vocabulary through Twitter. A simple 'Do Now' activity is to post a daily or weekly challenge asking students to unscramble anagrams, contribute synonyms or antonyms, or design and upload a word cloud, which examines multi-aspects of a word.
14. Summarizing and Writing Concisely– After assigning a current article, ask students to summarize the article within the 140 character limit. This writing event teaches summarizing and writing concisely.
15. Twitter as an Exit Slip– At the conclusion of class, ask students to write a 140-character summary of their understanding of the day's objective or pose any questions to be considered in the next class.
Yes, Twitter positively impacts 21st century literacy-learning as a technology tool, which builds global relationships collaboratively through sharing, creating, and synthesizing multiple streams of information, while adhering to ethical and moral on-line responsibilities.
How have you utilized Twitter as a 21st century literacy-learning tool in your classroom? Share your stories and ideas.

Robert L. Woodson, Sr., is founder and president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in Washington, D.C. Often referred to as the "godfather" of the neighborhood-empowerment movement, Woodson is a leading advocate for community- and faith-based strategies to reduce crime and violence, restore families, and create economic enterprise and employment.
A former civil-rights activist, Woodson has provided counsel, training, and technical assistance to more than 2,000 civic leaders in low-income, distressed communities in 39 states. His particular commitment to reducing youth crime and gang activity led to the establishment ofViolence-Free Zones in 28 public middle and high schools throughout the nation.
Woodson is a frequent social commentator in print and on-air media. He serves on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, the Fulbright Scholarship Commission, and the board of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. He was also a member of the U.S. delegation to The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Conference on Tolerance and the Fight Against Racism, Xenophobia and Discrimination.
Woodson is the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Martin Luther King, Jr., Family Life Institute "Real Dream" Award, the David R. Jones Leadership in Philanthropy Award, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship, and the Presidential Citizens Medal. He is the author of The Triumphs of Joseph: How Today's Community Healers Are Reviving Our Street and Neighborhoods and several other books.
He received a B.S. from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and an M.S.W. from theUniversity of Pennsylvania.
"If conservative principles of faith, family, and country are to prevail, it must be demonstrated that they produce better people," Woodson said during his acceptance remarks. "An example will always prevail against an argument. Our grassroots leaders exemplify in their actions the practical consequences of applying these values."

Author has written 24 stories for Super Robot Monkey Team, and Torchwood.
Hello everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the writing world. You'll notice most of this writing is old & this profile hasn't been updated in ages - that's because I really haven't been writing fanfiction at all of late. Sorry. I'm not deleting this because I figure people might still want to read it, but I doubt I'll be adding anything new here for the forseeable future.
My current main obsession is Torchwood and Doctor Who. Right now a lot of my writing is focused on my alternate universe Torchwood team of Captain Jacqueline Harkness, Iana Jones, Doctor Owena Harper, Gwynn Cooper and Toshiyuki Sato.
I've written in other genres though, some of my old writings are still available at my old site, if you're interested. Now that I found the password for that old site I'm going to be updating it.
ETA: I haven't watched SRMTHFG in ages so I haven't been writing but I have gotten lots of faves and comments here so I'll leave the stories up. I just probably won't be writing any more of the MSMF Writer's 100.
Any that are linked above are completed (they'll also show up in my story list below, and the list is also at my story archive.).
Please read and review, any constructive comments are welcome! I'm always looking to improve my writing!

It is no secret that Sunderland need to start winning games fast but they may have to wait yet another week due to the superiority of their opponents this weekend.
Leicester City are in stunning form and have defied all the odds this season to find themselves a huge seven points clear at the top with six games remaining.
The facts and figures
Sunderland will need to make sure their defenders bring their A-game on Saturday due to the form of Leicester's attacking force. Jamie Vardy lies second in the race to be Premier League top scorer with 18 goals, whilst his partner in crime Riyad Mahrez has 16.
Mahrez has scored seven winning goals this season, which is more than any other player.
However, Sunderland have a player who is likely to get on the scoresheet this weekend. Jermain Defoe has scored 12 goals this season, which is his best total since 2009-10 when he scored 18 for Tottenham Hotspur. Despite this, only three of Defoe's goals have come at the Stadium of Light.
Leicester have only lost two league matches away from home this season, whilst Sunderland have only managed to pick up four wins while playing at home.
Importance of the match
Despite these two teams sitting at opposite ends of the table, the importance of the match for both sides is massive.
Another victory for Leicester could potentially see them go 10 points clear at the top, meaning they would have one hand on the Premier League trophy. It would essentially end the title race with five games to play.
On the other hand, Sunderland also need a surprise win here. The Black Cats sit four points behind Norwich City, who have started to put together a good run of results. A defeat for Sam Allardyce's men could leave them seven points adrift, which may be far too big of a gap to claw back before the end of the season.
Team news
Lee Cattermole and Younes Kaboul returned to action last weekend and they managed to get through to the game without picking up another blow. Cattermole is likely to sit in midfield next to Jan Kirchhoff and Yann M'vila.
Emmanuel Eboue still hasn't resolved his issue with his former agent so has not be offered a way back into the Sunderland fold.
Jeremain Lens was dropped last weekend by Allardyce and it seems his future may lie away from the North East after it was reported he was left out of the squad for footballing reasons, rather than injury reasons.

WeThePeople Foundation Files Capstone Petition for Redress
I truly believe that this most recent court filing by Bob Schulz of "WeThePeople Foundation" captures the soul of the ultimate grievance that the American people have with the Federal government. Decency and civility demands that the voice of the People not only be heard but also command Redress.
The time of great public awakening and discourse is approaching, and the Federal government, along with the banking elite pulling its strings, know it. We can expect a further acceleration of attempts to ecclipse and distract from the truth of the decades of violations by the Federal government of the U.S. Constitution on behalf of an agenda about which the American people have been kept in the dark like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse. When all is said and done, truly will the mainstream media be soundly indited by an outraged public, while the refusal by those complicit in the deliberate assault upon the Constitutional Republic of the United States to voluntarily submit to justice can only tear at the underlying fabric of civilization: good will among men.

It would be a hard soul indeed who begrudged Stoke striker Peter Crouch his moment in the spotlight after scoring his 100th Premier League goal last night - becoming, at 36, the oldest man ever to do so.
Joining a list that includes some of the greatest icons ever to grace the game - and Dion Dublin - Crouchy marked the moment by reviving the goal celebration that briefly made him the most popular man in English football some 10 years ago: the robot.
Back in 2006 Crouch was trying to establish himself as England's main goal threat - which he was, to be fair, providing they were playing a country with a population less than 500,000 - but cemented his most lasting legacy by moving his gangly, twelve foot-long arms around in the stilted manner of a malfunctioning cyborg after scoring against Jamica in a friendly.
Credit where due: it's not the first time the former QPR, Portsmouth, Villa, Southampton, Liverpool and Spurs man has made fun of himself for his unusual appearance.
Who could forget the time he said probably the funniest thing ever uttered by a proponent of the beautiful game - not a particularly tough field, but still - answering the classic interview questions 'what would you be if you weren't a football' with the immortal answer 'probably a virgin'.
(Crouch had the last laugh of course: he's married to Abbey Clancy).
So here's to Peter Crouch: 100 goal legend, all round good sport and the living embodiment of English football's fondness for anyone who has a 'good touch for a big man'. Congratulations.

This a really common bird in Ohio called a European Starling. They are everywhere in downtown Newark, Ohio. They remain active throughout the winter too.
When this photo was taken, I was walking into work. This is one of the reasons I try to always carry a camera. Sure, it's just a common bird, but it made me stop in my tracks and take a moment to enjoy natures beauty in an area where you really have to pay attention to find beauty.
It made me look up information about something so common that I really didn't know much about too. I found out that they were brought here by Eugene Schieffelin, a wealthy industrialist. Like so many of today's wealthy, they found it fashionable to fund junk environmentalism in the 1890's too. In Schieffelin's day, they thought it was a wise endeavor to import wildlife and plants from one area of the globe to another. Starlings have made a negative impact on the native birds and the effort proved destructive in the end. They're still a beautiful and interesting bird to watch and photograph.

WTO Strikes Half Of US Appeal In Meat Labeling Dispute

IRAKLIO, Crete - Two ships braved churning seas Thursday to whisk about 4,500 Chinese workers away from strife-torn Libya to the island of Crete, while rough weather farther west in the Mediterranean left hundreds of Americans stranded on a ferry in Tripoli.
As tens of thousands of foreigners sought to escape fierce fighting in Libya, European countries scrambled to send more ships and military planes to the North African nation, and Britain mulled sending in its military to rescue stranded oil workers.
Several airlines suspended flights to Libya on Thursday - Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Alitalia - amid scenes of chaos and deteriorating security and safety at Tripoli's airport.
Americans who eagerly climbed aboard the Maria Dolores ferry at Tripoli's As-shahab Port on Wednesday faced a long delay in their travel plans. Strong winds have been whipping up high waves in the Mediterranean, and the 600-passenger catamaran ferry was not likely to leave for Malta until today.
Those who made it out described a frightening scene: bodies hanging from electric poles in Libya's eastern port of Benghazi and militia trucks driving around full of bodies. One video showed a tank crushing a car with people inside.

Joel Schumacher
Life Path Number 5
Joel Schumacher is a Director.
He was born on Tuesday August 29th 1939, in New York City, New York, USA,.
The key to Joel's personality is freedom. Joel loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Joel Schumacher loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Schumacher likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Joel has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Joel Schumacher likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Joel is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Joel Schumacher can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Schumacher's success. Without these, many of the tasks Joel begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Joel Schumacher may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Joel's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Joel Schumacher should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Schumacher's body will promote security and confidence within him. Joel yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Joel Schumacher finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Schumacher will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.
You and Joel
About Joel's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Joel Schumacher's birth. In that instant, Joel stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Schumacher's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Joel Schumacher's life.

Ive been using a different app for years now and what sold me on this one was one of the photos in the previews. The man silhouette with the scenery inside of it and ducks flying. As soon as I saw that i knew you had a great app here. I usually use at least 2 apps to be able to get that sort of effect. Ill be using this app from here on out. I haven't been through all the features but if you guys don't have it yet but tracing features will be a good thing. I can email you what I mean if you respond. Full Review

A pretty darn good photo editing app. Had been looking for an app that could change the colours of a picture to create cool looking versions of wallpapers. But- there is a downside to it all. You don't get the pictures in the resolution of the original picture. All edited pictures are rendered in lower than 1080p, which is just a shame Full Review
Brandon Landon Published date: December 28, 2017
Seems legit, I'm not all that techy so I can't get into specifics.im just a regular guy trying to find something to edit pics easily and have the option to get in depth with it if needed. I like the color changing and the way you can import and add from other pics almost flawlessly. The instructions are pretty weird though.it basically states you do the same thing to get different effects in every video. Full Review
Joseph Tingzon Published date: January 13, 2018
Omgeee it can't let me edit a photo. When i click on some editing tools, it shows me nothing (black) , but the button tools are present. Try to fix this please tho it is one of the best photo editing app I've ever seen Full Review
Lunar Lurker Published date: January 9, 2018
This is one of the best photo-editing apps I used so far. Especially for making ironical memes. Pixlr was mostly what I would use for editing while I'm on my phone but then I found LightX and decided to give it a try... And boi was it worth it. Full Review
Aashish Kaji Published date: January 17, 2018
There's reason why people should buy it. A lot of reasons actually. Photoshop of Smartphones. Already impressed and bought while testing beta. Keep making editing wonderful #LightX as user, I am always hoping for more features in future. All the best and thanks to the team Full Review
Hetalia Veneziano Published date: January 11, 2018
I absolutely love this app. I like making covers alot but I didn't know what to do to get the perfect picture I wanted. I had used other apps before but they didn't give me the result I wanted. There were so many choices to choose from and the image came out perfect! Full Review
nicole dussmann Published date: December 29, 2017
Still learning and playing with some of the options the app offers..but what I have gotten used to is amazing :) love the symplistic yet professional editing options! I have yet to figure out color splash or if this app even offers it but I'm sure I'll soon figure it out. Full Review
Published date: December 24, 2017
Good app. The Only thing it doesn't have is an option to pick color. And another thing which we can't do is matching color tone of face and body. sometimes these tones don't match. So we need some easier way to do that. Full Review
Published date: January 22, 2018
Lots of tools, most importantly to me background removal. Up could use some improvement and better follow material design guidelines. For example opening an image should take you to a separate editing screen instead of replacing the (ugly) stock backdrop. Also want resize features in addition to the crop features Full Review
O. S. Published date: December 31, 2017
This is by far the best app I have ever tried, for free, for all editing needs by a professional like me. Never had a better app that is so close to my pc sofware, I am trully amazed and dazed by its abilities. I recommend it to anyone that knows what they are doing and need all the possibilies that I could only find on my pc until now. BEST GRAPHIC AND PHOTO EDITING APP EVER! <3 Full Review
Ashish Agrawal Published date: January 3, 2018
The backdrop feature in this app is really innovative, but the problem is that you can backdrop only given selected a limited range of pictures, if there would be an option to backdrop images from gallery, then i would rate it 5 stars! But the bottom line is that i feel that is a editor that has the most amazing features... Full Review
Stephanie Wintters Published date: January 16, 2018
This is the only app I've ever rated 5â's...... There are so many options that I lose track of time and get distracted from all the endless possibilities when editing a photo. Absolutely perfect! Full Review
Mikirlav Published date: January 1, 2018
It's a good app for editing, but required purchase to really use all the desired tools. I especially like how I can change the background of a photo to literally anything with the blending tool. A couple things that I find lacking: there's no blurring tool, the zoom needs to be a lot better (it's impossible to work with small details), I cannot blend images gradually where one part is more opaque than the other.. I also wish the working space wouldn't be limited to the size of whatever picture I am using, and that I could work in layers. Please do tell if these features exist but I haven't just found them.. Full Review
piyush ranjan Published date: December 21, 2017
This is extraordinary app.When I edit pictures in this(like collage,background change,image mixing etc),it's picture quality is not reduced.Also it has some filters which other apps doesn't have.I am very happy to use Lights .It is must have app for the user.Automatic selection is great and easy tool to use.Great app to make cutout and collage.Changing background is awesome in Lights app. Full Review
Published date: December 26, 2017
I love this app to the fullest but I only have one beef with it and if you guys can fix that I will buy this consistently and advocate it to everyone I know. The background feature is probably the most amazing I have ever seen in terms of functionality but my beef with it is that you can't use your own background, you can only use backgrounds that the app provides. If you could add a feature to use your own photo that would be amazing beyond words. Full Review
ANIMESH DHAR Published date: January 1, 2018
The selective feature which is the real problem in mobile editors is present in this app and trust me! It's great to have this app on your phone! Helps a lot! LOVED IT Full Review
Mark A. Rios Published date: January 13, 2018
this app offers alot of different tools that are simply amazing. most of the picture edits are awesome only thing it needs is more text fonts and other text options like shadow and others but other than that this is the hest one i found so far Full Review
Teresa Trimm Published date: January 13, 2018
Loving the Cut out option. Really looking forward to playing around with it. I watched one of the videos about cutting out and mine was way different! Need to do much more investigating. Full Review
Omkar Gharat Published date: December 29, 2017
Best app.But there is one thing that everyone wants is create a feature duch that like your wallpapers of backdrop, we can add our own wallpapers from phone storage in backdrop which will free of cost. Full Review
Skylar Miller Published date: January 3, 2018
Was pretty great! Only problem is that some things don't load may be user error but other than that I'm good thanks for some great image editing tools! Full Review
Lucia Carpenter Published date: January 3, 2018
There should be a trial of the pro features so you know if you want to get them or not but still great for what it does offer for free. The only major downside is it doesn't let you save the cut out pics and so you have to keep redoing it if you want to use various photos as backgrounds and so for this I rate 4 stars but this feature should be added as it is with many others and when it is ill up my rating. Thanks Full Review
Sam Lucas Published date: January 20, 2018
Accidentally bought the pro version asked for a refund and haven't heard back I will update this after the reached out Full Review
Jovelyn Gevero Published date: January 1, 2018

Abdullah Davis Published date: January 6, 2018
This app is small, yet powerful! But, I was wondering if new things would come to the app like deeper zooming and adding our own fonts. Full Review
Published date: December 26, 2017
Like the app a lot! I'd rate it higher if so many features weren't locked unless you advertise on social media. I make photo projects to share personally, & don't use those platforms... Full Review
pratyush singh Published date: December 30, 2017
One of the best app for editing, let me be clear that apps only help you with tools. Editing requires your creativity. Lots of people blame apps. Full Review
Rob Houston Published date: December 24, 2017
The only thing this app does not have is a grid function. I hope the add it. Besides that. This is the best Photoshop type app you can get for free. Full Review
Chelby Hawke Published date: December 26, 2017
I couldn't ever find an app that i liked better than PicsArt i thought i was just stuck in my old ways but this one is fantastic i love the way to use set up and variety of tools Full Review

David Bugyi Published date: December 21, 2017
Excellent app and features. Purcahsed pro as well. My biggest issue with the app on a SM-950F (Galaxy S8), that it reduces the edited picture size even with share quality set to high (original 2400px wide, saved is 998px wide). Full Review

The Rob Kardashian vs. Blac Chyna saga continues.
Photo Source: TMZ.com
Rob Kardashian allegedly posted nude pictures of his ex Blac Chyna which may be in violation of California's revenge porn laws on Wednesday. The photos were reportedly posted on both Twitter and Instagram. Robert, brother of Kim Kardashian, who is 30 allegedly posted pictures of his ex, Blac Chyna as she was accused of cheating on him.
His alleged actions can be legally problematic for Kardashian as the state of California passed a "revenge porn" law back in 2013. It is officially known as "non-consensual pornography" which may carry jail time for up to six months.
In a series of Instagram posts, Kardashian claimed Chyna had sent him the images. Kardashian later deleted the explicit images from his account, where he had repeatedly accused her of infidelity.
Kardashian took to Twitter about 12:35 p.m. to state that his Instagram account had been shut down, and he resumed posting other images, including a very explicit one, he claimed were of Chyna. The most graphic image eventually disappeared from his Twitter account after 30 minutes.
We asked Dr. Bart Rossi, a renowned Clinical Psychologist, why Rob would do this? Also, what are the effects of posting "revenge porn"?
Dr. Rossi shared "Retained Anger is the reason why people post revenge porn. When someone is hurt and believes he or she has been mistreated, minimized, marginalized, and treated badly, they may want to seek revenge by exposing their ex. Not a positive approach but one that aims "at getting even" and feeling better by exposing the one who hurt you. Maybe shallow thinking but the low-level behavior is now part of our everyday life in the electronic age". Here at New Theory, we couldn't agree more.
After a rough few days for the couple (or ex-couple), things believed to die down for a few days. Then Rapper Rarri True posted a picture of Blac Chyna and him in bed together (wearing the $250k in jewelry perhaps?).
Photo Source: Instagram
We don't know how this saga is going to end. But we pray for Drema Kardashian's parents get their head straight and focus on their number one responsibility which is to raise their daughter.

THE appearance of Islamic insurgents in this remote Central Asian country in recent weeks has not only shocked regional leaders and their Russian and Chinese neighbors. It has also awakened the world to a troubling new phenomenon: the existence of a floating army of religious fighters who are roaming this part of the world in search of regimes to overthrow.
Kyrgyzstan is one of eight new nations that emerged in Central Asia and the Caucasus following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The region is poor, unstable and populated mostly by Muslims. It sparkles as a glittering prize for religious zealots.
The fighters who appeared here in mid-August, like most of the armed bands that have emerged in Central Asia recently, have their roots in Afghanistan. They have now apparently withdrawn back to bases there and in neighboring Tajikistan, freeing hostages they had seized. No one believes, however, that they will lay down their weapons or give up their dream of bringing the whole region under religious rule. Their zeal poses a serious threat to stability in a vast area that stretches from Turkey's eastern border all the way to China.
This year, even as civil war continues in Afghanistan, religious violence has broken out not only in Kyrgyzstan, but also in three other parts of this volatile belt. In Chechnya, which is officially part of Russia, fundamentalists are leading a violent campaign for independence. An apparently even more radical group is fighting in the neighboring republic of Dagestan, which is also nominally under Russian sovereignty. Further east, along the border that separates India and Pakistan, the province of Kashmir is at temporary peace following a bloody conflict this year in which Muslim radicals played a leading role.
Much of the religious militancy that is spreading through Central Asia and the Caucasus may be traced back to the American campaign to drive Soviet forces from Afghanistan in the 1980's. During that campaign, the C.I.A. spent hundreds of millions of dollars training religious fighters and buying them modern weapons. Now they are using those skills, and in some cases those weapons, to topple what they say are godless regimes.Continue reading the main story
These religious militants want to fight wherever they believe they can do God's bidding. They have attracted thousands of young people who have no strong convictions, religious or otherwise, but who know no trade other than war and who fight for a wage. Drug gangs, realizing the importance of controlling trade routes through the region, also eagerly contribute fighters.
This odd collection of warriors is sponsored by a murky network of religious and political visionaries. The Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden, whom the United States blames for last year's attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and who now lives in Afghanistan, is only the most visible.
PART of these militants' strategy has been to build mosques and pay to educate impoverished young people across the Caucasus and Central Asia. But now they are beginning to foment little wars. They are probing for places where they can win battles, and believe they have found some in Chechnya, Dagestan, Kashmir and here in the Fergana Valley, the heart of Central Asia.
These militants consider Kyrgyzstan only a secondary target, at least for now. Their proclaimed goal is an Islamic state in Uzbekistan next door. When they retreat, they move back to bases not only in Afghanistan but also in Tajikistan, where warlords have as much control as the central Government.
Here in Osh, one of the main towns in the Fergana Valley, people are bewildered and frightened by the idea of insurgency. Most people here are Muslims. But their tolerant and permissive brand of Islam has little in common with the radicalism of those who are up in the hills.
''This situation is very dangerous for all of Central Asia,'' said Bakyt Beshimov, a former president of Osh University who now represents this region in the Kyrgyz Parliament. ''Part of the danger is that these militants are being supported by religious forces and governments abroad. The other problem is the terrible social situation in this region, which makes people ready to support radical alternatives.''
People across this region have seen living standards plummet since the Soviet Union collapsed. Once they enjoyed guaranteed jobs, education and health care for all and pensions for the elderly. Now most are in poverty, with little prospect for improvement. W HEN people live in terrible circumstances, the slogans of fundamentalists are very attractive,'' Mr. Beshimov said. ''They are telling people to fight against the political regimes that are the source of their difficulties. They say they have the formula for a better and fairer society. It is very tempting.''
Western powers have been slow to focus on this isolated region, and President Askar Akayev of Kyrgyzstan said in an interview that he relies on China to crack the whip. ''They have to care,'' he said. ''They have Xinjiang.''
Xinjiang is China's westernmost province. Its population is mainly Muslim, and its people feel little loyalty to Beijing. They are restive, and radicals among them have set off bombs that some outsiders believe are the beginning of a separatist campaign. So far there is no indication that militants in Xinjiang have made contact with ''the Afghans,'' as Islamic fighters who have fought in Afghanistan are called. But it is tempting to see the Caucasus, Central Asia and Xinjiang as ripe targets for a nascent religious rebellion.
''I can understand the feeling in the West, that all of this is happening very far away,'' said Askar Aitmatov, an advisor to President Akayev. ''But religious fundamentalism is a big force. It is a challenge for the entire world.''Continue reading the main story

Rosebud woman rescued from burning home
By: CFA Media
Category: Incidents - Structure
9.09 AM 10 August, 2016
Location: District 8 News
Views: 2004
CFA firefighters battled through thick smoke to rescue a woman in her 40's from a Rosebud home on Coleman Crescent, around 6am Wednesday.
Crews had to break through the laundry door to get inside the home because the front door was deadlocked without a key. Household items covering walkways were also a challenge for firefighters, both in rescuing the woman and putting out the blaze.
Smoke filled the home, which significantly reduced visibility for crews.
District 8 Operations Officer Sean Kerr said the fire appeared to have started in the master bedroom.
"Firefighters found the woman unconscious in the bedroom and had to carry her outside through part of the home that was on fire," Mr Kerr said.
"It's a reminder to always leave a key in your deadlocked door and keep walkways clear, just in case an emergency situation like this happens."
The fire was extinguished in an hour, with 13 firefighters from Rosebud, Bayswater and Rye. Ambulance and police were also in attendance.
The woman has been airlifted to hospital.

It's the Year of the Oyster! The Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, the Daufuskie Island Conservancy and the Daufuskie Island Elementary School in cooperation with the Coastal Discovery Museum in Hilton Head, the Haig Point Naturalist Program and the Daufuskie Island Rum Company will present an island-wide, year-long series of educational programs, field trips and social events celebrating the environmental, economic and cultural importance of the oyster – past, present and future.
Surrounded by oyster reefs and spartina grass the world is our oyster on Daufuskie Island. Healthy reefs keep erosion at bay, improve water quality as oysters filter up to 50 gallons of phytoplankton and sediment-filled water per oyster per day all the while creating essential habitat for a wide variety of marine species and birds.
When free-floating oyster larvae settle on a hard surface, an anchoring foot forms and the oyster grows in place until its life cycle is interrupted – often by humans or other predators (American Oyster Catcher, crabs, carnivorous snails, sea stars, fish and sting rays). And despite their tough exterior, oysters are sensitive to salinity, water temperature, pollution and wave action.
Members of the Bryan, Grant, Hamilton, Hudson, Jenkins, Robinson, Simmons, Washington and Wiley families were oyster workers on Daufuskie employed by the Graves', Cetchovich's and Maggioni's. Daufuski Oysters whose tins adorn the shelves of many island homes were a mainstay of the island's economy through the 1950's when water pollution tainted the oyster beds and changed the lives of generations of island residents.
Oysters have had ceremonial and cultural uses (shell rings and shell middens) and were used as tools and for trade. Tabby, a mixture of water, crushed oyster shell, sand and lime from burnt oyster shell created the structure for retaining walls, fortifications and homes including the slave dwellings along Daufuskie's shores.
Oysters have inspired local artists including Sharon Havird, Monica Ferguson and Paula Nickels. Crushed oyster shell is used in landscaping, as a soil amendment and as a supply of calcium for laying hens. For centuries oysters have been the subject of poetic, scientific and food writing. Oyster farms are popping up all over the world supplying oyster bars and oyster roasts. As a sustainable food source, oysters are a centerpiece of Lowcountry cuisine and part of our identity.
Please join us as we honor the oyster in 2016! Check the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation and the Daufuskie Island Conservancy websites for a complete list of events and look for YOTO-ware and accessories by John Hill.
"Oysters are the most tender and delicate of all seafoods. They stay in bed all day and night. They never work or take exercise, are stupendous drinkers and wait for their meals to come to them."
~Hector Bolitho "The Glorious Oyster"
THE CLOISTERED OYSTER by Jenny Hersch
The cloistered oyster hid in pluff mud
The flustered oyster got soaked in a flood
The oyster connoisseur had excellent taste
The oyster impostor flew off into space
The rejoicing oyster was filled with delight
The amateur oyster's future looked bright
The oyster entrepreneur's start-up went public
The oyster restaurateur had a pain in his stomach
The loyal oyster's valve was divided
The boisterous oyster's exuberance misguided
The oyster raconteur spun yarns with her foot
The oyster saboteur's big plans went kaput

Snapshot: How ready is the Caribbean for ICTs?
Last month, there was widespread concern among industry experts in Jamaica that the country's ranking on the World Economic Forum Network Readiness Index had fallen 28 places over the last four years. The 2010/2011 assessment included only four countries in the English-speaking Caribbean. This post summarises key findings and discusses factors that would contribute to improving a country's ICT readiness.
The Network Readiness Index (NRI) is an assessment conducted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and INSEAD, a world-renowned international business school, to determine a country's readiness to harness ICTs. Over the last 10 years those institutions have published the Global Information Technology Report (GITR), which has been tracking the development of ICT around the world.
The NRI aims to examine the extent to which the participating countries, which includes both developed and developing economies, leverage achievements or developments in ICT. It comprises the following three sub-indices, which are in turn divided into a number of sub-categories:
- Environment Index – examines how conducive countries are to ICT development and diffusion. It captures information on the market environment, the political and regulatory environment, and the infrastructural environment.
- Readiness Index – examines how prepared and interested individuals, businesses and governments are to use ICTs in their daily activities and operation. It captures information on individual readiness, business readiness, and government readiness for ICTs.
- Usage Index – examines the extent to which ICTs are actively being used by individuals, businesses and governments. This index captures information of individual usage, business usage and government usage of ICTs. (GITR)
The maximum possible score for each sub-index is 7. For each country (or economy) the three sub-indices are averaged to determine its NRI. The 2010/2011 edition of the GITR assessed 138 countries, but included only four countries from the English-speaking Caribbean. The NRIs for the top 10 ranked countries is shown in Figure 1.
NRI results for the English-speaking Caribbean
Figure 2 presents the NRIs for Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago over a five-year period. Of particular note and with the exception of Barbados, all other countries experienced a decline in their NRIs between 2008/2009 and 2009/2010. A possible reason for the decline, although it might not be the sole cause, could be the global financial crisis which occurred in 2008, the effects of which are still being experience worldwide, and especially in the Caribbean. With the crisis, many economies in the region contracted, and spending and development initiatives across most sectors had to be deferred.
Over the period of review, Barbados consistently had the highest NRI of the sub-Caribbean grouping, and in the most recent exercise it was ranked 38th. It was also the highest ranked country in Central and South America and the third highest in the Americas (after the United States and Canada). Barbados is considered to have a fairly conducive environment for ICTs, with a well developed political and regulatory framework, and comprehensive infrastructure. Although individual readiness and usage of ICTs are high, Barbados scored (relatively) poorly in relation to creating an enabling market environment, as well as the interest and preparedness of both business and government to use ICTs.
Unlike Barbados, Jamaica has lost significant ground over the last four years. In 2006/2007 its ranking was 45th, but by 2010/2011, it had fallen to 73rd. In the most recent assessment, Jamaica scored reasonably well with regard to how prepared its citizens are to use ICT. However, there is room for improvement for all other indicators, most notably, infrastructure; and business, government and individual use of ICTs.
On the other hand, Trinidad and Tobago recorded the most significant improvement in the entire assessment exercise, having jumped 16 places from 79 in 2009/2010 to 63 in 2010/2011. Although its overall NRI was identical to Jamaica, 3.8, it scored higher with respect to infrastructure, individual readiness and individual usage.
Guyana, which was ranked at 100, scored lower than the other three Caribbean countries on all sub-indices, except business readiness, where its score was on par with Barbados. However, areas for which it is most deficient are: infrastructure; and individual, business and governmental usage of ICTs.
Implications of the NRI to Caribbean countries
Evidenced by the few countries from the English-speaking Caribbean that are assessed by WEF and INSEAD, the NRI is not a popular indicator in the region. However, the evaluation criteria and associated considerations are highly instructive on the factors that should be considered by countries when gauging their ICT potential.
As guided by the NRI framework, the assessment is not only broad – covering the environment, readiness and usage – it is also quite granular. Ninety-one (91) components in total are evaluated across the three sub-indices, capturing elements that directly and indirectly influence ICT readiness. Examples of the factors that are considered include:
- venture capital availability (environment sub-index, market environment)
- extent and effect of taxation (environment sub-index, market environment)
- software piracy rate (environment sub-index, political and regulatory environment)
- availability of scientists and engineers (environment sub-index, infrastructure environment)
- quality of math and science education (readiness sub-index, individual readiness)
- extent of staff training (readiness sub-index, business readiness)
- government procurement of advanced technology products (readiness sub-index, government readiness)
- households with a personal computer (usage sub-index, individual usage)
- impact of ICT on new services and products (usage sub-index, business usage)
- ICT and government efficiency (usage sub-index, government usage)
In the region, when attention is being paid to ICT take-up or development, the efforts are almost exclusively focussed on addressing matters related to infrastructure, service availability and pricing. However, the WEF/INSEAD framework suggests that a considerably broader range of factors affect the extent to which countries can exploit ICT opportunities. Moreover, to create the necessary enabling environment, the approach must be holistic and cater to the needs of the individual, businesses and Government.
Hence, although most Caribbean countries might not be formally included in the WEF/INSEAD NRI exercise, a more comprehensive approach to harnessing ICT might be warranted. Several national and regional digital plans have been prepared and are currently being implemented, but invariably, they may benefit from stronger cross-linkages with other sectors to improve realisation the desired outcomes.

Many budding singers like to have a demo of their voices to show around. Perhaps they're looking to perform at some local gigs and they've been asked to show them what they can do, or perhaps they're hoping to arouse professional interest in their talents. Or, perhaps, they just want to share their demos online and see whose cover version gets the most views or likes on popular social media sites.
Our demo recording service is in very high demand due to our exacting recording and vocal production standards. When a young artist comes to us to record a cover demo, we make sure we find the best quality backing track for them (optionally, we can also make one for them), and then we proceed to coach them in an optimal way to sing the given song. Once we think we're on the same page, we proceed to record multiple "takes" – until each word and phrase sound as good as they can, at the singer's current level of development.
Once all the takes are completed, we proceed to "comp" (compile) the best takes (in the process teaching the student one of the most arcane techniques top music producers use all over the world), and eventually we're able to mix everything until it sounds as good as it can. Many of our students never get enough of this process, soon building up a repertoire of highest-quality covers for themselves. It typically takes just a few sessions to complete each demo – this can be as little as 2-3 sessions or as much as 5-6, all depending on the individual case.
Our demo recording service is also used as an AUDITION for students who would like to be "developed" as bona fide recording artists. This means that before we agree to take a student on for full development, he/she needs to record a cover with us, in effect to sign up for THIS service first. If we decide that we would indeed like to enroll him/her for the full course, we can then switch programs as soon as we're satisfied that "we've heard enough." In many cases, however, cover demo students will not be accepted to the full artist development program – notwithstanding the fact that we made them sound great on their demo! There may be many reasons for that, but most often, it comes down to us wishing that the artist/student gain more experience first – and he/she can try out for full development later on once again.
Here we attempt to record songs as fast as possible (usually it can take 3-4 sessions to complete a high quality song), and afterwards we move on to the next one, etc.
Aqui intentamos grabar los canciones tan rapido que es posible (normalmente puede tardar 3-4 sesiones para completar una cancion de alta calidad), y seguimos a la proxima cancion, etc.

Grand Southern US Spending money?
How much spending money did you churn through and what did you get for it? Drinking/partying, added extras, shopping etc.
- Read the responses 3 responses so far
I've calculated $1600 in the optionals alone – this is doing ALL* the options btw.
(*excluding fuel costs for helicopter flights and including every option, even seasonals).
Haven't done the tour, am doing it in Nov/Dec though so am curious to the answers people give you!
Yeah id like to know how much spending money to take.. food,drinking, other bits and pieces.. i added up the optionals too but i still dont know how much to account for aside from the money for those..
For the europe tours they say $100 a day but is America more expensive?
i'm suprised at the lack of info on this. there was so much more when i was researching it all for europe a few years ago!
