Herman Miller Nelson® Pear® Tripod Table Lamp Designed by:
- George Nelson , 1952
George Nelson
An industrial designer, architect, and journalist George Nelson was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1908. He attended Yale University and from 1932 until 1934 Nelson studied at the American Academy in Rome, returning to the US in 1935. From 1946 until 1972 George Nelson was director of design at Herman Miller. While working for Herman Miller, Nelson introduced several important innovations in office furniture design. The 1958 Swag Leg Group included tables, chairs and desks. In 1946 George Nelson designed Platform, a simple and functional bench for Herman Miller and it is still a mainstay in their collection.
The best known George Nelson designs include the 1955 Coconut Chair, with a triangular seat inspired by a piece of coconut shell. The 1956 Marshmallow sofa is another revolutionary design, with a seat and back made of individual round cushions. In the 1940s and 1950s, George Nelson designed a series of wall clocks for the Howard Miller Clock Company, of which the best known is the Ball clock, with the hours marked by balls of wood. A mid-century classic, the Bubble Lamps, were designed by George Nelson in 1947 and produced by Howard Miller starting in the early 1950s and ending in 1979. Modernica, a Los Angeles-based manufacturer, now produces them.
While at Herman Miller, Nelson set new standards of design in all aspects of the company and in doing so he pioneered the practice of corporate image management, graphic programs and signage.

Brandy reportedly played to a nearly empty arena in South Africa this week.
The Grammy Award-winning R&B star was a surprise guest at the Nelson Mandela Sports and Cultural Day concert in Soweto on Saturday, but nearly all of the event-goers were gone by the time she took the stage, according to the Guardian.
The 34-year-old "I Wanna Be Down" singer is said to have performed for about 40 audience members in FNB stadium, which has a 90,000-person capacity. Apparently there had been tens of thousands of people attending the earlier rugby and soccer matches, but most of them left while the musical segment — featuring four acts before Brandy — took place.
"Brandy [just] performed to an empty stadium. With the stadium lights on," tweeted Kabomo, a South African musician. "It was late. People didn't know there was a concert after the games. No one knew Brandy was around. Maybe a 40 people audience ... She sulked after two songs and walked off."
Awkward. In the words of Madonna, "The show is over, say goodbye..."
Brandy, full name Brandy Norwood, usually promotes her appearances on Twitter but didn't mention anything about her South Africa performance on social media either before or after the event. The newspaper site reported that the event's nationally televised broacast concluded just before Brandy's concert too.
On Aug. 20, her official website put up a post that seemed to intend to showcase a video of the performance. However, the actual post had no video and nothing beyond the show's basic details.
Perhaps because of the sparse turnout at the South Africa event, the singer has gone full force promoting her performances on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts. Neither she nor the concert promoters have made any statements about the event, according to reports.
In recent years — since a 2006 car accident that killed one woman and embroiled the singer in years of litigation — the "Brandy and Ray J" reality star has built up her acting career. The "Moesha" alum has had stints on "90210" and "The Game" and appeared in Tyler Perry's "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor."
She will next be featured on embattled singer Chris Brown's upcoming album "X." Brown was featured on Brandy's track "Put It Down" from her sixth studio album "Two Eleven," which was released last year.

Sandy fuels growing fears of food security crisis in Haiti
Before Sandy dumped more than 20 inches of rain on Haiti, rural towns like Petit-Goâve were relatively prosperous, their crops of banana, pigeon peas and yam helping feed the island-nation's southern peninsula.
The hillside farms and plantations were among those that had been mercifully spared from previous disasters and disease in a country struggling under the weight of a severe food crisis. Now, with ruined roads and crops destroyed throughout the country, international aid and Haitian authorities are worried about a worsening food crisis in a country still recovering from a year of drought, a weak economy and a previous storm.
"Whatever was left of a potential harvest is gone," said Johan Peleman, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs here. "Even the banana harvests seem to be gone."
On Sunday, Haiti's government reiterated its appeal the international community for emergency humanitarian aid to deal with Sandy's disaster. Five days earlier, the government declared an island-wide state of emergency, initially assessing losses to livestock, crops and infrastructure from Sandy at $104 million. The southern peninsula, which includes scores of rural communities, accounts for one-third of the losses, said Gary Mathieu, head of Haiti's National Food Security Coordination unit. The south's largest city, Les Cayes, is reporting a 70 percent loss of its avocado, breadfruit and corn harvests, washed away during four consecutive days of rain.
The losses come just nine weeks after Tropical Storm Isaac pounded a nearby region, resulting in $70 million in damages and rising food prices.
The one-two punch threatens to make the country's poorest population even poorer.
"Life will become even more expensive," said Jeannita Constant, 29, staring at her field of fallen plantain trees as Sandy's relentless rains fell here. "Lots and lots of money have been lost."
In the far northwest, farmers were only now preparing to replant after a drought earlier this year when Sandy's downpour soaked their fields.
"It takes a certain farmer with confidence to try and plant," said Comete Rigaud, 40, a farmer in Cabaret, a depressed but bucolic village between Port-de-Paix and Jean-Rabel. "If it's not the sun, it's the rain."
Food insecurity woes are nothing new in Haiti, a place where high food prices in 2008 triggered rioting and the ouster of the prime minister. Months later, four back-to-back storms, led to children dying of malnutrition in a remote village in the southeast mountains.
Haiti's latest disaster comes amid recent anti-government protests over rising food costs, the country's continuing struggle to dig out from the January 2010 earthquake and the world's worst cholera epidemic. Ironically, Sandy hit two weeks ahead of a Haitian government conference on extreme poverty scheduled for Tuesday through Friday. The keynote speaker, World Bank President Jim Kim, will be making his first official visit to the region.
Earlier this year, at the request of the government, the Bank provided help to farmers in the northeast after they lost peanut, plantain and other crops to pests and drought. Bank officials also remained concerned about the price hikes that ensued, including an inexplicable jump in the price of imported U.S. rice that did not match international price trends.
Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, trying to calm mounting discontent over the hikes, stepped up free food distributions, announced a rice donation from Japan and launched a rice commission to address the growing food security concerns. He also announced the government was considering opening public food stores and food-storage, measures international experts warn have shown to be very inefficient and ineffective in helping consumers.
"My concern is what the government will do as the situation does not seem to be as dire as in 2008 in terms of price levels," said Diego Arias Carballo, a senior agricultural economist with the World Bank.
Following the global food price hikes in 2008, Haiti introduced a rice subsidy program, which a World Bank study says benefited importers, and not consumers.
"You need to have more of a targeted and efficient way of helping families with these types of crises and shocks," Arias said.
Sandy's damage, combined with Isaac's, the rising food costs and a drought that hit the northern regions of the country earlier this year, means up to two million Haitians are now at risk of malnutrition, the UN said Friday at a press briefing in Geneva.
"These people will continue to struggle till the next large harvest in mid-2013," said Myrta Kaulard, Haiti director for the UN World Food Program. "The struggle will be tough."
Kaulard said what Haiti and humanitarian aid groups need is cash; cash-for-work programs are needed to employ people in affected areas to rehabilitate the land; nutrition programs are needed for pregnant and nursing mothers and children younger than 5 — all now even more at risk; and school meals programs need to be maintained.
"There are important resource gaps in all these programs," she said, noting that funding shortfalls recently forced WFP to cut a number of schools from its meals program.
Changes in Haiti's rain pattern — dry spells and floods — affected food security in almost every region of the country, according to a complex analysis carried out by the government's food security unit after Isaac.
The effects are obvious along the 150-mile stretch between Port-au-Prince and the far northwest, the most neglected region of the country. Sorghum and corn fields have been abandoned by farmers and left to fallow; sun-burned rice stalks have been ruined by water shortages; and bean production is down everywhere, either because fields got too much water or not enough.
In the southeast, Isaac wiped out banana, breadfruit and coffee crops.
"You see us here? We're going to die from hunger," said Lisette Moise, 46, a mother of eight, sitting next to a sun-scorched rice paddy in the Artibonite River Valley, the country's breadbasket. "We can't send our children to school, we can't do anything."
Moise and other rice farmers say this year's weather skyrocketed prices.
"Even if you could afford to buy the cup of beans, you can't afford the cooking oil," said farmer Odette Casseus, standing nearby. "Some days you just feeling like screaming to God, given the devastating state you are in."

LODI - Tara Miller, 23, manages the bakery with her mom, Terrie Green, the owner.
LODI - Tara Miller, 23, manages the bakery with her mom, Terrie Green, the owner.
Rolling Scones opened in early November in a small building at California and Holly Streets in Lodi. The shop used to be home to Chalkboard Cafe and California BBQ, but sat empty for about a year before the Millers came in for renovations.
The building was gutted from top to bottom, with new cabinets, counters and floors installed. Crisp white paint is softened with distressed corners and edges.
Between the scones and plans to hold high tea once a month, the open, airy bakery has an English flair.
"It's not what people expect with the name, 'Rolling Scones,' " Green said. "They think it will be more edgy. But we like to be fun and elegant."
Mom and daughter live in Lodi, close by to their new workplace.
Green's mother and youngest daughter also stop by to help out when they can. And son Kinsey Green helps out as well.
The pair specialize in scones, with flavors such as mixed berry, maple bacon walnut and lemon poppyseed.
A few varieties are available gluten-free.
But those small, rich, diamond-cut biscuits are only a small portion of the bakery's menu.
The attractive glassfront pastry case is filled with muffins, cookies (like chocolate chip and snickerdoodle), dense shortbread, moist coffeecake and flaky turnovers set off by handwritten cards.
For lunch, there's aways a soup of the day. It might be broccoli cream, or clam chowder, or butternut squash with toasted almonds, depending on Terrie's whims. If you want something a bit more substantial for breakfast, slices of quiche are available, such as a Greek with spinach, feta cheese and black olives, or the more classic quiche Lorraine.
This is not Terrie Green's first shot at running a bakery. She was owner of Mad Dog Bakery and Cafe in Sacramento for 15 years before her daughters became of school age. She sold the shop to home school her kids and explore a career in real estate.
This time around, Green is excited to work with her daughter and explore her creativity.
"With this size of bakery, I can do pretty much anything I want if I get a whim for it," she said.
Miller graduated this year from Sacramento State University with a bachelor's degree in communications. She's learning her mother's baking secrets and running the Facebook and Twitter pages for the business.
It can get touchy with two cooks in the cozy kitchen, but mother and daughter navigate the close quarters with ease.
"We know each other so well, and we know each other's personalities, so it works," Miller said.

Gifted Services
Gifted programming is aligned with gifted student's assessment data and ALP goals in the area(s) of giftedness. The following program options are among those available at RFSD:
Schoolwide Cluster Grouping Model—An inclusion model in which a "cluster" of gifted students are integrated into mixed-ability classrooms with teachers trained to provide appropriate differentiated learning opportunities. Cluster grouping allows teachers with specialized training in gifted education to challenge gifted students in all content areas. The pacing of instruction and the depth of content that gifted students need is made possible through compacting, differentiation, and flexible grouping arrangements (Winebrenner & Brulles, 2008) More information can be found about the Schoolwide Cluster Model here.
Flexible Grouping (Interest Based)—involves grouping students together for different purposes. The groups are formed based on ability, achievement, or interest, and should be fluid and flexible. Some common methods used to form flexible groups that are successful with gifted students include grouping by: • Interest area(s) • Content mastery • Ability level • Project choice • Readiness level for targeted objective. This can be done at the school-level or within a classroom.
Flexible Grouping (Schoolwide flooding)—if the grade level has a common time for a specific subject, students are grouped according to ability level to receive instruction in their zone of proximal development. Schools that practice flooding MUST have provisions in place for students whose abilities reach beyond their grade span.
Content Replacement Programs "Pull-Out"—students usually receive accelerated learning opportunities in a specific subject area in an alternative classroom setting. Gifted students are typically pulled out of the regular classroom for replacement of services in math and/or reading. On average, the content is one to two grade levels beyond the student's assigned grade.
Grade-level Acceleration—Advancing a child one or more entire grade levels to expose him/her to more advanced curriculum.
Subject Area Acceleration—Advancing a child in one or more subjects (advanced math classes, higher grade level reading groups, dual enrollment in college).
Independent Study—A formal independent study allows a student to research an area of passion and work with experts in the field to deepen knowledge and understanding.
Mentorships—Students are matched with an expert in a field of interest and given an opportunity to learn more about a specific topic. This works best in conjunction with an independent study.
Dual Enrollment—Allows high school students the opportunity to take college level courses and receive high school credit at the same time they are earning college credit.
Social and Emotional Programs
In addition to academic programming, gifted students are served through a variety of programs that address their unique social and emotional needs which may include:
• Individual counseling
• "Friends" groups
• "Lunch-Bunch" groups
• Transition support (building change, college planning)
• Advisory Groups (underachievement, perfectionism, goal-setting, social skills, etc.)
Social and Emotional Supports are also woven into regular program delivery and augmented with specific small group supports as needed.
Examples of different levels of support based on identification:

You're dating someone, you're having doubts, the la la land feeling has worn off and you feel stuck in a relationship.
The relationship is familiar and easy, and you don't like change. You feel torn and confused, but the signs are all there.
The person is lazy, doesn't have a job, is critical, has a weird family, is judgmental, racist, selfish, vapid or perhaps just annoying.
Here's the truth. Getting out of a long-term or even in intense, short-term relationship is never fun.
A breakup like that seldom goes smoothly and often shakes our world in a way we'd rather not have it shaken.
That said, whether we like it or not, knowing that the love has faded and hesitating to address it only avoids the inevitable.
The waiting and pondering we do when a relationship has stalled is simply stall time.
And stall time is stressful, wasteful and complicating.
If we're aware of the stall time but decide we need it, we can accept it and pick a date for ending the relationship.
If we're not aware, and we need a slap of reality, take this opportunity to consider the importance of moving on in your life.
Bite the bullet. Get out of your head, and end the relationship, so that you can begin to move forward and find what it is you need to feel complete and fill your heart.
'There Is Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself'
How many times can we hear an old pearl of wisdom? And how many times can we not really listen?
We can all use a reminder that when we read or hear the old, wise and familiar pearls, we should remember that they have become ingrained in our culture for a reason.
They are here not just to hear and pass them over. These words of wisdom are here to help, guide, direct, inspire and provoke.
So, pay attention. These are the base guides for good living.
Knowing When to Move On
How do you know if ending the relationship is the right thing to do?
Take a day to go somewhere and be by yourself. Go over everything in your mind. Take yourself from the beginning when there was greatness, all the way to where it has landed.
Look at the red flags, the yellow flags and the reality of where you are. Leave nothing unseen, admit it all to yourself, and most likely, you'll make the choice you knew you were going to make when you first sat down.
If there is one thing that never lies, it is our intuition. Questioning your intuition is like playing with fire. Don't do it. Listen to it, and make your move.
The unfortunate news is that there is no easy out of a relationship.
We can't pawn it off, buy it off, step on it or ask someone to end it for us.
The burden of leaving a relationship is entirely on us. We can reach out and look around and ponder and discuss, but in the end, we have to belly up, say the words and live through the process.
It's seldom easy, but finding what makes us the most happy in life is not known to be easy.
Most importantly, we want to learn to push and stretch ourselves in ways we'd rather not. When we find the courage to actually do it, we're so often shocked at the doors it opens and the peace it brings.
After the drudge, the change and the discomfort, there awaits the prize, peace and freedom.
So, if you're waiting for nothing, living in the confusion or hoping you'll wake up one morning and feel differently, take a moment to make the decision you know you need to make.
Moving on is simple. What it leaves behind is what is difficult.

FLA/ELA Projects 2018
Showing opportunities tagged with Instant Impact
Exploring Identity: Pen pals & pop culture
Partnership: ELA Ambassador Ruth and FLA Ambassador Narine
Schools: City of London Freemen's School, Ashtead and Friedrich-Hoffmann Gemeinschaftsschule Betzingen
Project theme: Exploring Identity
Narine and Ruth are working as part of a larger cluster of FLA & ELA Ambassadors. Together, they are exploring the theme of identity and multiculturalism in both the UK and Germany with their classes.
The two groups began by brainstorming what identity, multiculturalism and integration mean to them. Since then, they've been busy writing and exchanging pen pal letters and posters with their partner school, discussing and comparing some key aspects of their identity – including pop culture, sports and languages.
You can read more about this exciting project on their joint blog!
Looking across the North Sea – are Hamburg and Orkney really so different?
Partnership: ELA Ambassador Alasdair and FLA Ambassador Sina
Schools: Kirkwall Grammar School / Stromness Academy and Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium
Project theme: Gegenseiten der Nordsee. From Hamburg to Orkey: a cultural exchange
With Alasdair (ELA Ambassador) having studied at the same school in which Sina (FLA Ambassador) now teaches, they seemed like the perfect match from the start to run their UK-German project together!
Add to that the fact that they are currently based in Hamburg and Orkney respectively – opposite ends of the North Sea – and what better idea for a project than to compare the regional identity and cultural heritage of these two coastal spots?
They have already created a blog for their project, where they and their students will share posts diving into an analysis of Orcadian and Plattdeutsch dialects. They plan to consider spoken language, as well as the dialect's prominence in contemporary and past literature, asking what significance it still holds today and – more importantly – "Are these strange tongues really quite so foreign?"
A Christmas parcel exchange
Partnership: ELA Ambassador Beth and FLA Ambassador Simone
Schools: Wetherby Senior School and Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium
Project theme: Exploring Identity
It's great to see that our Ambassadors' projects are well under way in time for Christmas – with lovely packages of cards and traditional treats already exchanged between two schools in London and Rottenburg am Neckar.
Thanks to our wonderful Ambassadors, Beth and Simone for getting their bilateral project off to such an exciting start!

Dear Mr. Wu,
We understand that shark fin dishes are considered a true delicacy in China and form an essential part of any traditional Chinese seafood menu. However, given the questionable ethics of harvesting the required fins and the considerable waste involved, we would highlight this aspect of your menu is not to the tastes of the Scottish community.
Your restaurant is otherwise excellent and possibly the best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow in every other respect. However it is a real shame that it lets itself down on this single moral issue. Please gain the respect and custom of many local residents, who currently avoid your restaurant to avoid indirectly supporting an industry they disagree with.
We would be extremely grateful if you would consider a more modern cuisine that reflects the ethical concerns of your customers and respectfully ask you to remove all shark fin dishes from your menu.
Many thanks,
The Glaswegian and Scottish Community

Shark finning refers to the removal and retention of shark fins. The rest of the body is generally discarded in the ocean. Some countries have banned this practice. Sharks without their fins are often still alive and as they are unable to move normally, they die of suffocation or are eaten by other predators. Shark finning at sea enables fishing vessels to increase profitability and increase the number of sharks harvested, as they only have to store and transport the fins, by far the most profitable part of the shark. Shark finning has increased over the past decade largely due to the increasing demand for shark fins for shark fin soup and traditional cures, particularly in China and its territories, and as a result of improved fishing technology and market economics. The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Shark Specialist Group say that shark finning is widespread, and that "the rapidly expanding and largely unregulated shark fin trade represents one of the most serious threats to shark populations worldwide"

Add several users at the same time to Office 365 - Admin Help
Each person on your team needs a user account before they can sign in and access Office 365 services, such as email and Office. If you have a lot of people, you can add their accounts all at once from an Excel spreadsheet or other file saved in CSV format. Not sure what CSV format is?
Add multiple users to Office 365 in the Microsoft 365 admin center
Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.
In the admin center, choose Users > Active users.
On the Import multiple users panel, you can optionally download a sample CSV file with or without sample data filled in.
Your spreadsheet needs to include the exact same column headings as the sample one (User Name, First Name, etc...). If you use the template, open it in a text editing tool, like Notepad, and consider leaving all the data in row 1 alone, and only entering data in rows 2 and below.
Your spreadsheet also needs to include values for the user name (like email@example.com) and a display name (like Bob Kelly) for each user.
User Name,First Name,Last Name,Display Name,Job Title,Department,Office Number,Office Phone,Mobile Phone,Fax,Address,City,State or Province,ZIP or Postal Code,Country or Region

Enter a file path into the box, or choose Browse to browse to the CSV file location, then choose Verify.
If there are problems with the file, the problem is displayed in the panel. You can also download a log file.
On the Set user options dialog you can set the sign-in status and choose the product license that will be assigned to all users.
On the View your result dialog you can choose to send the results to either yourself or other users (passwords will be in plain text) and you can see how many users were created, and if you need to purchase more licenses to assign to some of the new users.
Watch the video
Watch a short video that shows you how to bulk add users.
Next steps
Now that these people have accounts, they need to Download and install or reinstall Office 365 or Office 2016 on a PC or Mac. Each person on your team can install Office 365 on up to 5 PCs or Macs.
Each person can also Set up Office apps and email on a mobile device on up to 5 tablets and 5 phones, such as iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. This way they can edit Office files from anywhere.
See Set up Office 365 for business for an end-to-end list of the setup steps.
More information about how to add users to Office 365
Not sure what CSV format is?
A CSV file is a file with comma separated values. You can create or edit a file like this with any text editor or spreadsheet program, such as Excel.
You can download this sample spreadsheet as a starting point. Remember that Office 365 requires column headings in the first row so don't replace them with something else.
Save the file with a new name, and specify CSV format.
When you save the file, you'll probably get a prompt that some features in your workbook will be lost if you save the file in CSV format. This is okay. Click Yes to continue.
Tips for formatting your spreadsheet
Do I need the same column headings as in the sample spreadsheet? Yes. The sample spreadsheet contains column headings in the first row. These headings are required. For each user you want to add to Office 365, create a row under the heading. If you add, change, or delete any of the column headings, Office 365 might not be able to create users from the information in the file.
What if I don't have all the information required for each user? The user name and display name are required, and you cannot add a new user without this information. If you don't have some of the other information, such as the fax, you can use a space plus a comma to indicate that the field should remain blank.
** How small or large can the spreadsheet be? ** The spreadsheet must have at least two rows. One is for the column headings (the user data column label) and one for the user. You cannot have more than 251 rows. If you need to import more than 250 users, you can create more than one spreadsheet.
** What languages can I use? ** When you create your spreadsheet, you can enter user data column labels in any language or characters, but you must not change the order of the labels, as shown in the sample. You can then make entries into the fields, using any language or characters, and save your file in a Unicode or UTF-8 format.
What if I'm adding users from different countries or regions? Create a separate spreadsheet for each area. You'll need to step through the Bulk add users wizard which each spreadsheet, giving a single location of all users included in the file that you're working with.
Is there a limit to the number of characters I can use? The following table shows the user data column labels and the maximum character length for each in the sample spreadsheet.
|User data column label
|Maximum character length
|User Name (Required)
|79 including the at sign (@), in the format name@domain.\<extension>. The user's alias cannot exceed 30 characters, and the domain name cannot exceed 48 characters.
|First Name
|Last Name
|Display Name (required)
|Job Title
|Office Number
|Office Phone
|Mobile Phone
|State or Province
|ZIP or Postal Code
|Country or Region
Still having problems when adding users to Office 365?
Double-check that the spreadsheet is formatted correctly. Check the column headings to make sure they match the headings in the sample file. Make sure you're following the rules for character lengths and that each field is separated by a comma.
** If you don't see the new users in Office 365 right away, wait a few minutes. ** It can take a little while for changes to go across all the services in Office 365.
Add multiple users to Office 365 in the old admin center
Download this sample spreadsheet and open it in Excel.
Your spreadsheet needs to include the exact same column headings as the sample one (User Name, First Name, etc...). If you use the template, consider leaving all the data in row 1 alone, and only entering data in rows 2 and below.
Your spreadsheet also needs to include values for the user name (like email@example.com) and a display name (like Bob Kelly) for each user. To leave other fields blank, enter a space plus a comma in the field as shown in the following figure.
If you have people working in different countries, you'll need to create one spreadsheet for users in each country. For example, one spreadsheet that lists everyone who works in the US, and another that lists everyone who works in Japan. This is because the availability of Office 365 services varies by region.
Tip: Before you add many users to Office 365, you might want to practice with the sample spreadsheet. For example, edit the sample spreadsheet with data for a few of your users, say 5 or 10, and save the file with a new name. Run through steps described in this procedure, check the results, and then delete the new accounts and start over again. This way you can practice getting all of the data right for your situation. Also check out Tips for formatting your spreadsheet.
Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.
Go to the admin center.
For people to use Office 365 services, they need to be assigned a license. Before continuing, you might want to check that you have enough licenses for everyone listed in your spreadsheet. Choose Billing > Subscriptions to see if you have enough. If you need to buy more licenses, choose ** Change license quantity **. Or, you can run the wizard and assign the licenses you have, then buy more licenses later and rerun the wizard.
Now go to the Bulk add users wizard: choose Users > Active Users. Choose as shown in the following figure.
The Bulk add users wizard appears and steps you through adding a group of users to Office 365.
In Step 1 - Select a CSV file, specify your own spreadsheet as shown in the following figure.
In Step 2 - Verification, the wizard tells you whether the content in the spreadsheet is formatted correctly.
In Step 3 - Settings, choose Allowed so that the people listed in your spreadsheet will be able to use Office 365. Also choose the country in which these people will use Office 365. Remember if some people in your organization are going to use Office 365 in a different country, create a separate spreadsheet with their names and run the Bulk add users wizard again to add them.
The assign licenses page tells you how many licenses are available.
You can choose Buy more licenses, but you'll leave the Bulk add users wizard and go to Billing in the Microsoft 365 admin center. After buying more licenses, you'll have to wait a few minutes for the order to be processed and then start the Bulk add users wizard from the beginning.
If you don't buy more licenses, accounts won't be created for everyone listed in your spreadsheet.
In this example, we don't buy any more licenses and continue with the Bulk add users wizard.
In Step 5 - Send Results, type the email addresses of the people who you want to get an email that lists all of the Office 365 user names and temporary passwords for the people in the spreadsheet.
The following email is sent to all the email addresses you specified in Step 5 - Send results. This email indicates which accounts were created. Notice that accounts weren't created for some people because there weren't enough licenses.
You can buy more licenses later and rerun the Bulk add users wizard with the same spreadsheet. The wizard skips over the users that already have accounts; on the results report, it will say "duplicate user name" to indicate someone with that information already has an account.
The final page in the Bulk add users wizard lists the user names and temporary passwords, as shown in the following figure.
After you've added users to Office 365, you need to tell them about their Office 365 account information. Use your normal process for communicating new passwords.

Once in a while I have a recipe that I just keep coming back to and improving and evolving. Lately I've been enjoying lots of dinner parties and I've been cooking for friends very regularly. I've been cooking a lot of stuffed vegetables and experimenting with different fillings.
Just in the last few weeks I've cooked either my Tempeh Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed Peppers, and Stuffed Squash about a dozen times. (These are all recipes from my vegan cookbook.) It's just so fun to make a giant batch of tomato rice or spicy quinoa or couscous and mix it up with more spices and other delicious foodstuffs. And then of course to fill up the vegetables and throw them in the oven.
A few days ago one of my good friends gave me an enormous zucchini from his home garden. I totally laughed when I saw the 2.5 kilogram monster squash. Everyone at our picnic was quite amused when I passed around the homegrown gift. It took me a few days to figure out how to best honor the gigantic gourd. And then it came to me yesterday afternoon: Make a killer variation of my Vegan Moroccan Stuffed Squash!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's water polo team will play in the Men's Ivy Championship third-place game after dropping a 15-5 decision to Brown this morning. It will be the second third-place game appearance for the Crimson in the two-year history of the event.
The Bears, who entered the tournament ranked No. 20 by the Collegiate Water Polo Association, advanced to the Ivy Championship Game for the second consecutive year with the win.
Harvard (7-16) was doomed by four consecutive turnovers that resulted in three Brown (15-8) goals in the first three minutes of play. Brown added three more goals in the first frame and took a 6-0 advantage into the second quarter.
The Crimson defense stepped up in the second as Harvard scored a pair of goals off of forced turnovers. Kevin DiSilvestro hit Luka Babic for an open two-on-one fastbreak score and Mike Katzer netted a second Harvard breakaway goal. Max Murphy added a penalty shot goal between the two fastbreak tallies. Harvard held a 3-2 advantage in the period but Brown entered halftime with an 8-3 lead.
Brown regained control in the third period by limiting the number of Crimson shots and carried the momentum through the end of the game.
The Bears blanked Harvard, 4-0, in the third and held the Crimson to two fourth-quarter goals. Babic and Katzer each scored their second goals of the contest in the second half.
The Crimson will play in the Ivy third-place game at 3:30 p.m. against the loser of Princeton and Columbia. Last year, Harvard defeated Yale, 12-5, to claim third place.

Hack the Job Search Process With Your Resume
By Anish Majumdar, Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
It's inevitable: word gets out that you're looking for a new job and someone, be it a colleague, family member or friend, takes it upon themselves to give you a "reality check". While the specifics of what they say might differ, the key takeaway is always something like: be prepared for a grueling process. Be prepared to send out hundreds of resumes before landing a single interview. Be prepared to wait, tear your hair out over unpaid bills, and wait some more.
Does it have to be this way?
When a jobseeker receives advice like this, it usually comes from a helpful place. But, as someone who's worked closely with hundreds of top-level professionals, I can assure you that a protracted job search is NOT a given.
You can land a new job in weeks, not months. The key lies in "hacking" the traditional job search process using your resume:
1. Use A Single Version of the Resume that Communicates Unique Value
Few things are a bigger waste of time than endlessly rewriting your resume to fit individual job postings. Hiring managers aren't looking for resumes that read like carbon copies of a job posting. They're looking to be impressed by a unique background. They're looking for skills they might not have considered but which can be applied in a new capacity. They're looking for something special, and that means communicating your UNIQUE VALUE.
-Create a brief opening paragraph at the start of your resume describing 3-4 key attributes. Be selective. What truly makes you a special candidate? What personal abilities are you most proud of?
-Be sure to highlight the attributes mentioned in the opening paragraph FIRST when describing responsibilities at jobs you've held within the "Professional Experience" section. Provide greater detail here. This approach establishes a "personal theme" for the resume and significantly increases its overall impact both at-a-glance and during an in-depth evaluation.
2. Use a 2-Pronged Approach to Resume Keywords
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) such as Taleo and Kenexa are usually the first gatekeepers standing between you and an interview. These programs are designed to scan resumes to make sure certain terms (or "keywords") are present. Those that have them get evaluated by a hiring agent. Those that don't get rejected.
-Gather up job postings you're interested in applying for. Which skills are mentioned over and over again? Make a list of approximately 10 of these skills (which you actually possess).
-Create a "Core Competencies" section near the start of the resume that lists all of these skills (separated by bullets).
-Look for opportunities to expand upon these skills within the "Professional Experience" section. For example, if you listed "Staff Training/Mentoring" within the "Core Competencies" section, you could provide information on specific training initiatives and successes when describing jobs you've held.
-Using this 2-pronged approach increases the probability of successful scanning by Applicant Tracking Systems while providing enough context to pique a recruiter or hiring agent's interest.
3. Get Your Resume In The Hands Of Your Existing Network ASAP
Chances are, someone you already know holds the key to your next position. Reach out to them, be upfront about what you're looking for, and send over your resume for them to take a look at. Some of your contacts might get back to you with feedback. Use it. Others will, in essence, serve as ambassadors, connecting you with industry professionals and delivering opportunities you'd never have been able to discover through "blind" submissions alone. Don't be shy: your friends and colleagues will probably be more than happy to help!

The biological surface, the interior atmosphere of the body that surround every cell, is controlled by homeostatic processes, which are dependent on the supply of a wide range of substances, such as nutrients and also the elimination of waste. Our cells can just take advantage of the nutrients we take in, if they can eliminate the they don't need. The process of absorption, digestion and also transportation are important to the biological surface of the cell.

Welcome to the Beulah Speckled Face Sheep Society
The Speckled Face Sheep has been bred on the hills of Eppynt, Llanafan, Abergwesyn and Llanwrtyd Wells for over one hundred years, without any introduction of female stocks. Flockmasters have exercised discretion in purchasing a consistent type of sheep which has been improved by the present Breed society, formed in 1958 and which bears the full title of the Eppynt Hill & Beulah Speckled Face.
The Beulah BREED
Main Purpose of the Breed
On the hills the ewes are normally pure bred providing flock replacements, finished lambs for the meat trade or store lambs for finishing on lowland farms; being easily managed and lambed because they require minimal attention. The Beulah ewe is also ideal for crossing with most Continental rams, as well as a Suffolk or any suitable Down ram, to produce the quality carcasses required by the present day British and export trade. Draft ewes are keenly sought after by the lowland farmer to use for crossing with Down rams, as these ewes have an excellent reputation for good mothering and milking. It is bigger and less hardy than the true mountain sheep which spend all of their lives on the hills and mountains; although there are strains of Speckled mountain sheep of a very hard type, these do not exhibit the same characteristics, nor are they managed in the same way as the true Beulah Speckled Face sheep. Due to this management, where the ewes spend part of the year in confined areas or fields, they are easier to manage than the true mountain sheep, when sold to lowland farmers as draft ewes.

US set 'to take very significant step' on climate
President Obama is set to unveil the most significant American attempt yet made to curb carbon dioxide emissions when he announces new restrictions on existing power plants on Monday.
The president is likely to endorse a set of rules drawn up by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that will seek to limit emissions from 1,600 existing facilities that are responsible for about a third of US CO2 emissions.
The EPA is likely to issue a sector-wide target for power generation, but it will be up to each individual state to draw up a plan for the required cut in emissions.
The White House is likely to allow the states a wide latitude in how they achieve these cuts.
Natural gas, nuclear power and energy efficiency could all be used to meet the targets - the EPA is also likely to endorse carbon cap and trade schemes.
"It is very significant for the US, this is the most powerful tool the administration has to reduce greenhouse gases," says Dr Tim Profeta, from Duke University.
"I think you will see the president try and push for a more aggressive target - there are plenty of rumours of 20-25% reductions from the sector."
The new regulations are seen as critical to fulfilling the president's pledge, made at the doomed Copenhagen climate summit in 2009, to cut overall US carbon levels by 17% by 2020.
As Congress is highly divided on the issue, the president has used the EPA to try and regulate carbon.
The US Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that the EPA had the authority to limit CO2 emissions under the Clean Air Act.
Despite that ruling, Dr Profeta believes the new regulations will face strong legal challenges from opponents who say that rules will drive up electricity prices and cut employment as coal plants in particular shut down across the US:
"The president is secure in that he has the authority but there will certainly be litigation over whether he can exercise this authority in the way he does.
"The provision the EPA are using is very infrequently used, so there is not much track record on how you use it. The devil is in the detail with this."
The use of shale gas, fracked from huge reserves in Pennsylvania, Texas and elsewhere has already helped the US to curb its carbon. But coal is still a major factor in energy production, accounting for about 40% of electricity.
Prof Louis Derry from Cornell University says that the new proposals will speed up the demise of coal or force generators to fit expensive carbon capture and storage technology:
"Retiring old, dirty, coal-fired generating plants will continue the US trend of reduced CO2 emissions, and be the largest single step we have taken on emissions reduction. It will also reduce demand for coal mining, a practice that is destructive to the local environment and dangerous for workers."
After the proposals are announced, there will be a year-long consultation, followed by another 12 months in which states will have to submit their plans for review.
Despite these delays, international observers believe the new proposals will help re-establish the credibility of the US on the international stage.
"Some cynics would say it is just the US catching up," says Liz Gallagher, from E3G, a sustainable development think tank.
"I think it gives a sense of empowerment to those heads of states who want to do more on climate change and this gives them a boost and says the US is on board - it's quite a positive signal to send."

High Income Workers' Share Of Total Wages Grows
By Tom Raum
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fifty percent of U.S. workers earned less than $26,364 last year, reflecting a growing income gap between the nation's rich and poor, the government reported Thursday.
There were fewer jobs, and overall pay was trending down - except for the nation's wealthiest. The number of people making $1 million or more soared by over 18 percent from 2009, the Social Security Administration said, citing payroll data based on W-2 forms submitted by employers to the Internal Revenue Service.
Despite population growth, the number of Americans with jobs fell again last year, with total employment of just under 150.4 million - down from 150.9 million in 2009 and 155.4 million in 2008. In all, there were 5.2 million fewer jobs than in 2007, when the deep recession began, according to the IRS data.
The figures are just one more indication of the toll that the worst downturn since the Great Depression has taken on the U.S. economy. They were published as demonstrations rage on Wall Street and in cities across the nation protesting a widening income gulf between average wage earners and the nation's wealthiest.
The unemployment rate remains stuck at 9.1 percent, with more than 14 million out of work and 11 million other discouraged people who have stopped looking for work or are stuck in part-time jobs. Since 1980, roughly 5 percent of annual national income has shifted from the middle calls to the nation's richest households, according to the Census Bureau.
While the average U.S income last year was $39,959, the mean income - the figure where half earn more and half earn less - was much lower, $26,364. This disparity reflects the fact that "the distribution of workers by wage level is highly skewed," according to Social Security.
Median compensation last year was just 66 percent of the average income, compared with nearly 72 percent in 1980.

Bearcats fall to No. 16 Louisville in OT
Cardinals remains unbeaten
Teddy Bridgewater and No. 16 Louisville trailed by 10 on two different occasions and rallied each time. The undefeated Cardinals kept their cool, even when a botched snap almost cost them the game.
John Wallace kicked a 30-yard field goal in overtime to lift Louisville to a 34-31 victory over the Bearcats after an attempt to ice the redshirt freshman went horribly wrong for the Bearcats.
Cincinnati got the ball first in OT but Terrell Floyd intercepted Munchie Legaux's floater in the end zone and the Cardinals drove 12 yards to set up Wallace's kick.
Bearcats coach Butch Jones called timeout right before the field goal attempt, and the high snap went through the holder's hands. Jones just shrugged and Wallace drilled the ball through the uprights to give Louisville the win.
"I was calm and cool," said Wallace, who was carried off the field on his teammates' shoulders. "I had a lot of confidence."
Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker for two terrific touchdowns after the Cardinals (8-0, 3-0 Big East) fell behind 24-14 with 10:26 left in the third quarter.
Parker's tying 30-yard grab in the fourth was initially ruled incomplete. He juggled the ball near the back of the end zone but brought it in with one foot inbounds, and it was changed to a touchdown after a replay review.
"That was a big-time, big-time play right there," Louisville coach Charlie Strong said.
Parker gave the Cardinals the lead with a 64-yard catch-and-run with 1:56 remaining, but the Bearcats (5-2, 1-1) tied it at 31 on Legaux's 26-yard pass to Damon Julian with just over a minute left.
Louisville stopped a four-game slide in the series against Cincinnati and captured the Keg of Nails trophy that goes to the winner of the rivalry.
The duel between Bridgewater and Legaux took on some added significance this week when the Cincy quarterback declared he was better than his Cardinals counterpart.
That certainly wasn't the case on this night.
Bridgewater overcame a slow start and completed 24 of 41 passes for 416 yards and the pair of TD strikes to Parker, who had four catches for 120 yards. Legaux ran for a score but tossed three interceptions, including the costly mistake in overtime.
"We never got down," said Legaux, who was 13 for 28 for 157 yards. "I wanted to execute and make a play. The cornerback did a great job of breaking on the ball. That's one of the plays you wish you could have back."
George Winn rushed for 125 yards on 26 carries for the Bearcats, who led by 10 points twice but dropped their second consecutive game after a 5-0 start. Ralph David Abernathy had touchdown runs of 14 and 4 yards.
Louisville grabbed a 7-3 lead on Jeremy Wright's 1-yard plunge but Cincinnati bounced back with Abernathy's first scoring run and Legaux's TD to build a 17-7 advantage with 8:05 left in the first half.
The Cardinals responded with their best drive of the night, marching 80 yards down the field. Senorise Perry's 8-yard touchdown run trimmed Cincinnati's lead to 17-14 at the break.
It was a rough half for both quarterbacks. Bridgewater was just 9 of 22 for 154 yards and his fourth interception of the season, while Legaux was 4 of 15 for 54 with two INTs.
Cincinnati began the second half with another impressive drive, going 73 yards in 10 plays for another 10-point cushion on Abernathy's 4-yard TD run.
Cardinals defensive end Lorenzo Mauldin, who had two sacks in last week's victory against South Florida, left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Title of work: My
Own True Name by Pat Mora
In the poems of My Own True Name, Mora explores what it means to be bicultural -- both the richness of it as manifested in family, food, rituals, and celebrations, and the pain of being seen as neither one thing nor the other. "For a variety of complex reasons, anthologized American literature does not reflect the ethnic diversity of the United States," explains Mora. "I write in part because Hispanic perspectives need to be part of our literary heritage; I want to be part of the validation process." In one of her best-known poems, "Legal Alien," Mora explores what it means to be "hyphenated":
sliding back and forthMy Own True Name is a work aimed specifically at adolescents. It includes poems from earlier collections alongside new poems, each included because it seemed to Mora to speak to young people, particularly young writers. Mora stresses that we are all writers, and all struggling to become better writers, whether we are published adult poets, teenage students, teachers, principals, or anyone else. She hopes that poems -- hers and those of others -- will help students connect literature with their lives, and feel safe and confident enough to write their own. As she says about the students in classes where she has read her work and encouraged theirs: "I want them to feel that they could bring any part of themselves, their language, their sadness, whatever kind of family they come from, and it's going to be honored. It's going to be treated with tremendous respect."
Says scholar Nicolás Kanellos: "Pat Mora is a writer who has united many different populations, but of course the most important ones are young people and older people. And she has particularly spoken to young people of high school age through her diction, through the themes she touches upon, and through her insistence on the idea that young people have a culture and that they have an ability to see the world and be able to capture it. So she wants to go one step further and encourage them to write."
Scholar Juan Bruce-Novoa writes that many of the poems from My Own True Name "feature the theme of English language acquisition as a painful experience of conflict and suffering for native Spanish speakers." Indeed, in "Learning English: Chorus in Many Voices," Mora writes: "people still laugh at me / when words stumble out / I want to disappear." But Bruce-Novoa also points out that "[Mora's] perspective characterizes the experience as one of gain and loss, emphasizing the latter as the loss of cultural authenticity, while the value of the gain is left in doubt." He also notes the "touch of ambivalence" in many of the poems: "The characters are attracted to English-based culture, producing a desire whose satisfaction they seek." Mora explores this kind of internal conflict in her poem "Elena," about an immigrant parent who cannot understand the words of her Americanized, English-speaking children. Yet in "Immigrants," she also explores the keen desire of immigrants to have "American" children and "wrap their babies in the American flag / feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie / name them Bill and Daisy."
Bruce-Novoa cautions teachers teaching the poems of Pat Mora that "the ethnic background of the students will greatly determine the nature of class discussions." First-generation immigrants may relate to her themes in profound ways, while others may see themes remote from their own lives. While he warns that talking about these issues can bring up controversial questions about the place of immigrants and foreign languages in American culture, Bruce-Novoa suggests that teachers "guide the discussion toward the universal quality of the experience of acculturation the poems express." He also recommends placing Mora in the context of certain other Latino writers when teaching her works. These might include Bernice Zamora, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and Judith Ortiz Cofer. Teachers could also include works like Tomás Rivera's ...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him, Richard Rodriquez's Hunger of Memory, and Linda Chavez's Out of the Barrio.
One of my hopes is that the literature makes us all more compassionate. I say a lot that --and I believe it -- literature helps us cross borders and build community. I believe that. And it is when we hear many different kinds of voices that that happens. It wasn't until I was an adult who began to write that I realized that the most exciting thing to write was about being of Mexican descent and coming from the desert. So, I want them to feel that they could bring any part of themselves, their language, their sadness, whatever family they come from, and that it's going to be honored, and it's going to be treated with tremendous respect.
Pat Mora is a writer that has united many different populations, but of course, the most important ones are young people and older people. My Own True Name is a book that takes a selection of works from all of her books and provides new poems that she thinks particularly speak to young people. And she has particularly spoken to young people of high school age through her diction, through the themes that she touches upon, and through her insistence in the idea that young people have a culture and that they have an ability to see the world and be able to capture it. She wants to go one step further and encourage them to write. Particularly in My Own True Name, she addresses this.
Q & A with Pat Mora
When did you become interested in writing?
When I was in middle school my family would get LIFE magazine, and on the back page there was always an essay, and I think the author's name was Shana Alexander. And I would always think, wouldn't that be great, just to be able to write about anything you wanted and give your opinion? And so that's really what led to the book of essays, and Nepantla: Essays from the Land in the Middle. Nepantla is a Nahuatl word, so that means it's from one of the indigenous languages in Mexico. And it means the land in the middle. I had been doing a lot of speaking when I was a university administrator. And I would spend a lot of time preparing these presentations, and I thought, Well, what if I tried to put them down so that people who are interested in working more effectively with Latino students, and hopefully with all students, maybe they would find these of use? And so that's how the book evolved.
How did My Own True Name evolve?
The book My Own True Name evolved in an interesting way, thanks to a comment by a librarian in California who was aware that I had written poetry for adults and some poetry for children, but her question was, Why wasn't I doing something for teens? And so that's really how it evolved. And it was difficult to select the poems. Sometimes I would say to teachers: What is it that you think your students enjoy most from [my books] Chants, Borders, and Communion? And then I had the opportunity to create some poems thinking specifically about teens.
I had written before about indirect address to a young writer and in "A Letter to Gabriella," which is part of Nepantla: Essays from the Land In the Middle. But I think that in the address, at the beginning of My Own True Name, I let myself be a bit more playful, and I had a very good time with it. I had also spent more time with young people as writers, and so I felt that I had maybe a better sense of what their issues were: their often deep reluctance to see themselves as writers and the huge challenge which we have, as educators, to create a psychically safe place. That's what I want, a classroom that is so psychologically safe that I can bring you all of me. And there are very subtle ways in which we tell students what we'd rather that they not bring, by the examples that we read. So when I was going through school I was a very good student in English. I never wrote much about being Mexican, being Mexican American. It wasn't until I was an adult who began to write that I realized that the most exciting thing I had to write about was about being of Mexican descent and coming from the desert. So I want them to feel that they could bring any part of themselves -- their language, their sadness, whatever kind of family they come from -- and that it's going to be honored. It's going to be treated with tremendous respect. And that doesn't mean that students are not going to be invited and encouraged to improve their work, but that respect comes first. And it is my personal feeling that one of the best ways for that to evolve is for teachers to spend time connecting with themselves. We do not do that enough. Because teachers are so busy. We have so many tasks for them to do. Where is the space for them to think about their own cultural selves? What is it they bring to the classroom? But these are also comments that teachers have made to me, when I say to them, "Tell me where you come from and how that affects what you do in the classroom." It is when I think about myself and I sort of honor myself and my voice, and I'm curious about myself and my background, that I can be curious about you.
How do you feel about poetry?
Well, I'm interested in three genres and probably always have been. When I look back at sort of notes that I would scribble to myself, when I was a young mother, I would say, This might make an interesting poem. This might make an interesting essay. This might make an interesting children's book.... I love poetry and always did. I mean, I loved all of the old rhyming poems, and I think that was the initial hook for me. And my hope always is that teachers will be teaching poetry more and all kinds of poetry and that they themselves will be delighting in it, because, of course, students pick up what we love and they sense our excitement. In my travels, because I have the good fortune to visit different kinds of schools, I encounter some teachers who are absolutely wild about poetry, and I have seen some incredible examples of teachers who transform their students, so that all of them stand up and read their poems and define themselves as poets. On the other hand, I meet a lot of teachers who in private conversation say to me that they are very reluctant to teach poetry, and when I have pursued that, they often mention very negative memories about memorizing poems they didn't really like, feeling uncomfortable when their own English teacher would say, "What does the poem mean?" and hoping that she wasn't going to call on them. The sense that they feel they don't write poetry, and so how could they teach it? And it was that reluctance that really got me intrigued with putting together a very brief document for my Web site on poetry power. And [there are] two..things I'm trying to suggest. One is that writing poetry improves your writing because with poetry, every word matters. And if you bring that kind of attention to your prose, you are going to find, Gee, my sentences are kind of flabby. Because after you've worked in poetry for a bit, you just feel that, you know? It tightens your writing. I also think it's important to realize that poetry can be used in all kinds of classes, not only in literature classes. So working with your colleagues in history, or whatever, can be a way to help students realize that literature also crosses. It also crosses these curricular borders. And it helps students understand connections. When I talk about these incredibly dynamic teachers that I have the pleasure of encountering, some of them manage -- and I've seen it happen with even first graders -- to help these students see themselves as poets. And I think that is a kind of intense faith that a teacher gives a student or a class, you know? You are poets, we're all poets, and what does that mean? And I think it means that we value language, it means that we live attentively, it means that we play with language. It means that we read poetry, you know? It means that we read poetry.
You write a lot about the landscape.
I'm personally fascinated by landscape. So, for example, I might see a mountain and immediately start asking people Well, do you know what kind of stone that is? Do you know -- what are the names of these trees? And I'm always saying to students, "You want to learn the names"; which, of course, then we move right into the whole idea of, How do I do that? Well, writing and reading are intensely connected. The best way to improve themselves as writers is to read and read and read and read, and to cultivate a desire for that quiet time. I always tell them, it's one of my favorite times of the day, when it's finally my time, you know. In elementary school, students always talk about book joy. You know, that book joy is a particular kind of privilege and pleasure, when you can be alone with a book, and you are happy, you know? I always try to stress that idea of attentiveness and the attentiveness can apply to attentiveness to the world around me, you know? I want to notice the sky. I want to notice the landscape. I want to notice the people. I want to notice the sound. I tell students I am very nosy and a great embarrassment to my children, because I eavesdrop on conversations everywhere. But that's a good characteristic for a writer. You want to be nosy, you want to be curious, but that means you have to be listening, listening. And that is a challenge sometimes for young people. They are very involved with their own lives, we know that, and it is an inward time, you know. They are figuring out what their identity is, hence My Own True Name. I mean, they are struggling with that. So it's very hard for them to come out of themselves at times and listen to others -- which is not to say that young people are not incredibly compassionate, because I think they are. But we must remind them of their value and create the right space for them to listen. Make it seem natural and comfortable. And I think, of course, that teachers create that climate, you know. I speak to teachers, I tell them, because I believe they are powerful people. And what frightens me is that they may not realize just how powerful they are, that they can open a student up or close a student down and sometimes close a student down for life, with a look, with a remark, you know. It's like parenting. It can be terrifying how much of an effect we can have on a young person's life. And, as a writer, what I'm after is your heart, you know? That's what I want. And we live in a society that asks you to value your mind and not to see emotional knowledge as valuable. And what I want young people to realize is that their emotions are not something to be ashamed of, nor to discard, but something to integrate as part of their, yes, intellectual life. But so much of our society asks us to split that.

English Language Amendment
This proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution would make English the official language of the United States. Proponents of the amendment want to ensure that English retains dominance in American society. English Plus is an organization dedicated to promoting bilingualism and combating repressive English-only legislation.
An arroyo is a dry riverbed. Arroyos are featured in Pat Mora's poetry as part of the natural, often magical, desert landscape. Teacher Alfredo Lujan took his students to an arroyo to write.
Acculturation refers to a gradual process of cultural change and adaptation that occurs when groups with different cultural norms come into contact with one another. When one culture dominates in a certain environment, however, the process of acculturation for the subordinate group can be unpleasant and even oppressive. But it is also true that the reverse is happening, that the dominant or "official" culture is absorbing elements of the subordinate culture, although this tends to happen subversively or implicitly.
Suggestions for applying other theories to My Own True Name
Pat Mora's poetry is explored using a reader-response approach in the Session 1 video. However, students can experience Mora's work in a variety of ways.
For example, they can take their initial responses to the poetry and use them to formulate a scientific inquiry into desert life. They can explore geography, conservation, and environmentalism and bring their new knowledge back into the reading of Mora's poetry.
A cultural studies exploration of Mora's poetry in My Own True Name might find students investigating language differences among old and new immigrants to the United States. Students can take polls, research census data, read newspaper articles, and construct meaning about the current climate of immigration and language diversity in this country.
The cultural studies activity can lead to a critical pedagogical study whereby students explore patterns in U.S. immigration law. As critical pedagogy requires an activist effort on the part of the class, students can design a variety of ways to assist and befriend immigrant communities through tutoring or creating information booklets describing services, rights and responsibilities for immigrants new to this country.

If you aren't familiar with Watchlist, it's a place for all the videos that we have here on Kotaku. If you are familiar with it, you should know that it's now going to be focused on showing off new and upcoming games.
Of course you'll find Leo's videos there, and the various gameplay videos that we already do with new games. But in the course of doing those videos, we often end up with gameplay footage that doesn't get used. So in addition to the normal videos we already do, we're going to post more videos on Watchlist of the random things we try out in the course of our work. My personal plan is to try and have a video of every single new game, but I'm a big fan of unattainable goals.
If you haven't seen our videos here are some examples:
Leo tries to figure out a bus simulator
The StandPoint developers sent me a prototype with no sounds, but I decided to play through it anyway
Stephen Totilo tries to teach me teamwork in Pikmin 3
