Visual Thinking Strategies Visual Thinking Strategies
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Our mission is to transform the way teachers teach and students learn through programs based in theory and research that use discussions of visual art to increase student engagement and performance.
Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a New York City-based arts education organization. Our mission is to transform the way teachers teach and students learn through programs based in theory and research that use discussions of visual art to increase student engagement and performance. VTS is both a teaching method - used in museums across the country and around the world - as well as an art-discussion curriculum we train classroom teachers to use with their students to build visual literacy, critical thinking, and language fluency.
VTS was developed in the 1990's by Philip Yenawine, former Director of Education at MoMA, as well as of programs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, and Abigail Housen, a Harvard-trained cognitive psychologist whose research yielded a Theory of Aesthetic Development. Yenawine celebrates the success of VTS in the hands of classroom teachers in his new book, Visual Thinking Strategies: Using Art to Deepen Learning Across School Disciplines, released by Harvard Education Press this October.
Today VTS is used in museums, schools and universities across the country and internationally. VTS has Regional Programs in: Boston & New England, New York City & State, Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. In the 2012-13 school year we trained and coached 600 teachers on-site in 65 schools, directly benefitting more than 11,000 children. We partnered with over 45 museums nationwide. In addition, we held 35 training events in the US and Europe which were attended by over 1,100 VTS practitioners.

I do realise I say this about all the people whose posts I save on here, but I LOVE THIS GIRL. I just really do. If you have even a small interest in beauty and products and make up then I strongly recommend you buy Zoe's book, Amazing Face. It's not available in the UK, but you can buy it here.
I love the videos that give a little insight into the blogger's life, and these two are no exception. Not only that but when I recently visited my sister in Australia I lugged six, SIX toiletry and make up bags with me. So heavy. And potentially relationship busting when your husband has to carry your suitcase up and down train station staircases (while I happily skip along with his). So it's a shame these videos didn't come a month sooner.
Anyway, obviously, I now want the YSL nude gloss. And everything else.
By the way, while I was in Australia I bought the Covergirl eyeshadow primers Zoe recommends here, and I love them both. Brilliant under pretty much every eye shadow I own. (Might have mentioned that before). I also bought three tubes of Suvana paw paw and it is excellent. Genuinely better for lips (and everywhere else) than the Lucas Ointment version which contains petroleum – your skin can get addicted to this and stop producing it's own oils – shock! (Having said that it's very good for protecting cuticles when applying fake tan).

Blessings; May you feel the Elven song within, hear the voice who speaks from your heart-space. We are Tuatha dé Danann, the children of Nature and the stars.
–T.E. Pelton, author, Elven World mythologies
As a writer of modern Celtic or Druidic mythologies with the Elven World series, it may seem odd that I would be the one to tell you this story. It is so beautiful, however, and considering if you are Celtic in heritage you might never have heard this Indian legend, I will begin. The Legend and Love Story of Laila and Manju Laila was a princess and so was bound in marriage since birth. But as a child she found herself in a profound relationship with her young friend who we know today a Manju (which means crazy in love) When he was hurt, her body showed the scars of it. When he felt pain, she cried, when she was in danger he stood between her and any harm because he felt her fears just as if they were his own. Despite the torture and eventual banishment for his love, Manju remained true to her. And despite being married to another man, Laila kept herself for Manju only. Her husband sought revenge and planned to kill Manju so he would have Laila all to himself. When at last Manju was faced with the violence of Laila's husband, he faltered from weakness and hunger, Manju was stabbed in the heart. At the same moment, in the palace of her husband, Laila feel down dead This legend tells us the love of twin souls or soul mates. That we are not two, but are one whole.
The book Elven World, Restoration of the Tuatha dé Danann Kingdom is available without charge on our website

A written outlet for gaming thoughts, with a possible academic / critical slant.
Monday, July 18, 2011
Monday Musings - 18th July 2011
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
My buddy Barrett came over on Tuesday and we started up a co-op game of SMG2, passing the controller between stars while the other player killed enemies, and grabbed star bits, coins, and lives. Another session was had on Friday and we are at world 3.
I think i understand why i put this game down. Once you've experienced co-op, single player just feels kind of cold. I had the same problem with New Super Mario Bros Wii. Having a friend there to pass the controller to and share the experience with makes all the difference. I am a fan of shared experiences for single player games as well, but co-op extends this belief. Case in point, we decided to try and grab the first comet star where you have to use invincibility to kill 30 spinys in 60 seconds. We must have spent close to an hour on that. My god was it a test of platforming skill. In the end it was pulled off and we felt like champs. Without the ability to pass the controller to someone else, i don't think i would have persevered that long.
The excellent level design and variety of worlds to play around in helps a bunch too!
Sanctum (Steam)
Gifted to me by another friend who i will call Dakker as that is his game handle, i played this co-op tower defense first person shooter for the remainder of Tuesday evening. This is a well designed game here. You start the map off by building the maze you want to funnel the monsters down, you then build towers on top on the blocks (along with slow fields, and the ability to upgrade your character's weapons), then you click ready and try and survive the wave. You aid the towers by shooting the creatures yourself, and then when the wave is over, the money earned can be used to upgrade towers and weapons, or to build more defenses.
The creatures all have weak points but playing on endless, we quickly got to a point where we could defend anything the computer threw at us. It may be due to the low difficulty we were on. I shall have to see next time we play and i kick it up a notch.
Earthbound (Snes)
Got to Threed, and my party members were captured by zombies. Telepathically calling a new party member, i am now in control of Jeff, boy genius. I have worked my way through an easy dungeon created by a man who wishes to become dungeon man, and have become stuck in another dungeon. It may be FAQ time. I also got to ride a lochness monster.
It's really fun to talk about the things happening in this game as re-reading these paragraphs, it sounds a lot zanier than it feels when you're playing the game. Not to a detriment mind you. The quirky nature of the situations and the dialogue is really what is keeping me going, as the game itself is rather standard RPG fare, except for the somewhat humerous enemies.
Continuity 2 (Iphone)
I'm up to world 6 where i have stopped playing, and am unsure of whether or not i shall return. The first level of this world seems to rely on precision and quick tapping to pass it. Now perhaps i'm approaching the problem the wrong way but i am not a fan of dexterity in puzzle games. It could be my Iphone as well. It's old and swipes and touches don't always register too well.
Still, all the puzzles leading up to World 6 were great. Level 5-8 was a real brain twister for me. I stopped playing and went to have a shower (am i the only one who does their most creative thinking in the shower?). Afterwards i picked the game up again, took one look at the puzzle, exclaimed, "I'm an idiot!", and solved it. Hooray for the wonders of a fresh mind.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Steam)
I have a love/hate relationship with horror games. I hate them because they scare the pants off me. Seriously. Just the fact that i am controlling a protagonist in a tense setting is enough to set me on edge. I was scared playing Doom 3! Well, until i got back from hell and the game continued and then i got bored. This genre is more effective then any other in immersing me, but i don't necessarily like being scared or being always on edge when exploring a game world. This is also why i love horror games. I just don't play them often.
I bought Amnesia because of the amount of good press it received (and the glowing reviews of the studio's previous games, the Penumbra series). I finally decided to try the game Saturday night. I played for 17 minutes and i haven't been back. Let's discuss why.
In those 17 mins, the game got me right on board. The atmosphere is great, and the ideas behind the player's sanity and the game taking control away from you at certain points is amazing. Where i quit was right after the prologue. I found a diary which contained backstory (not the initial one, this was when the house opened up a little). I sat there listening to the voice actor read the text in front of me, and realised that this has broken all immersion. I'm hunted and haunted by something, this place is immensely gloomy and suddenly all is safe while i read this book. That really got to me.
Of course this also could be an excuse that i knew the game was ramping me up for danger and a good scare, and i might have concocted a design reason to bail on playing before that happened.
Both points are probably valid.
Vanquish (Ps3)
I finally decided to get around to picking up where i left off with Vanquish. I'm in the middle of Act 2 after a play session last night. I wanted to quit after Act 1 finished, but if there's one thing about Vanquish's pacing, it's that thus far there really haven't been any low moments where one feels they can stop. You keep feeling like playing on, waiting for that break in the action to collect your thoughts. Oh sure, there are sections where there is dialogue, where you're walking, we're you're scanning the landscape, but these don't really feel like breaks, or at least they didn't to me.
The game is a ball though. Once you get a handle on what you can do with the controls, and feel comfortable with the level design (which can be a tad confusing as you're careening down the landscape with your propulsion systems), you can pull off some stunts that give you plenty of, "Oh my god, that was awesome!" moments. I believe they are also known as 'memorable moments' (i like my phrasing more).
There's been a little bit of variety in gameplay, but for the most part it's a lot of fire fights with cover and the chance to do something fun (and there are bosses too). Since i've heard the game is short, this probably won't be an issue as the game keeps propelling me forward with a clear goal and the action is still enjoyable. I doubt the mechanics will wear out their welcome.
Final Thoughts
I think perhaps i need to explain myself more in regards to horror games. I enjoy watching horror movies (although i need to be in the right mood. I can't just pop one on any night of the week). I get scared during horror movies. I cover my eyes during bits, i tense up. Basically the film-maker is able to play me like a fiddle. Why do i subject myself to this? I don't really understand it fully, but i guess there must be a part of me that likes to be scared. Perhaps its seeing how some writers and directors tackle the unknown and play on our fears of safety and social norms (for instance one horror movie that still sticks with me years after watching it is 'The Mist'. The monsters were scary enough, but the true horror for me was the religious zealotry and how the humans turned on each other. Still, teeth spiders? Yeesh!).
Games take this one step further as you are controlling the poor sod who's being subjected to the horror of the game world. You can't put your fingers up in front of your face here. You have to keep a watchful eye out and play things right, otherwise you might have to subject yourself to the same horrors again. Now that's funny isn't it. Just by its nature, dying and re-living a section of a horror game dilutes the fright. You've experienced it once so just by familiarity, it is not as scary subsequent times. Still, the fear of reliving horror is very powerful, and staying alive is front and foremost in your mind as you play these games.
But staying alive is part of every game (well every game that has death in it... or has a negative consequence to death). This is why horror games are so immersive. It's not just trying again with a new life or continue as Mario, or going back to the last checkpoint in Call of Duty. There's something more here. Surviving is in the mechanics of most video games, yet in the horror (and especially the survival-horror) genre, survival seems to be everything. It's like our ability to reload and retry has been forgotten. Maybe it's the strange circumstances and horrific creature design. Maybe it's the sound and visuals. Whatever it is, most horror games don't feel like games, and perhaps that's why they at least freak the hell out of me.
Till next week, happy gaming all!

Okay being somewhat intimidated by Mr D's insistence that every pix should tell a story and not wishing to be set upon by a rabid, bagpipe skirling haggis should mine fail to do so, here is my latest pathetic attempt at pictorial story telling.
The 'personna dramatae' are red tailed fire finches who were released unharmed after the shoot. There is absolutely no truth to the rumour that they were made into pies to avoid paying them their modelling fees.
Thanks for viewing and for any comments you may care to post.

T. and T. is a Canadian-produced television series, in production from 1987 to 1990. The series premiered in first-run syndication in January 1988, later moving to new episodes on the Family Channel in 1990. It was a starring vehicle for Mr. T.
The opening voice-over set-up the premise:
" T.S. Turner was convicted of a crime he didn't commit. Amy Taler was a young crusading lawyer. She launched a campaign to put Turner back on the street, this time in a shirt and tie as a private detective. Together they are -- T. and T. "
The regular cast included Mr. T himself along with Alexandra Amini as Amanda "Amy" Taler, Kristina Nicoll as Terri Taler (who replaced her sister as Turner's new partner in 1990), and David Nerman as Decker, the owner of the gym where T.S. boxed and, eventually, set his own headquarters. Also appearing, early on, were Amy Taler's secretary Sophie (Catherine Disher); Det. Jones (Ken James), who sometimes worked along side T. and T.; and in season two, teenage orphan Joe Casper (Sean Roberge), who lived with Decker. For the first two seasons, Turner lived with his Aunt Martha (Jackie Richardson) and teenage cousin Renee (Rachael Crawford), upon getting out of jail and cleaning up his life. In the third season, a new detective, Dick Hargrove (David Hemblen) assisted the team.
The first season had lots of violence and fight scenes, which glorified Mr. T's familiar image. Originally, when T.S. was on the hunt for the bad guys, a stylized routine would take place where he would retire to his locker room, change out of his pinstripe suits and don a leather street jacket, in preparation for vigilante justice. At the start of the second season, this routine was dispensed with, as plotlines started centering around social and environmental issues that T.S. and Amy began taking on in their work. Season three, however, saw a return to violent stories. This was despite the fact that T. and T. was now airing on the Family Channel, which generally had some limitations to the amount of sex and violence allowed on their programming.

Philippines and Japan signed fresh business deals worth USD6 billion following the visit of President Rodrigo Duterte to Tokyo from Oct. 29 to 31, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez shared to Manila-based reporters in a text message.
In a text message to reporters, Lopez, who accompanied Pres. Duterte in his second visit to Japan, said these commitments came from 18 business deals involving new investments and joint ventures between Manila and Tokyo.
"PRRD met several Japanese companies and witnessed several business-to-business memoranda of understanding and letters of intent on investment plans, joint ventures, and expansion of operations in the Philippines," he said.
"All these show confidence on President Duterte's administration," Lopez noted.
Six companies presented their letters of intent to Lopez including Marubeni Corp., Itochu Corp., Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd., Teihiyo Cement Corp., Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Japan Tobacco, Inc., and Lawson Inc.
Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., also submitted their LOI of doing business in Philippines to Lopez and Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, while Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III received the LOI of Japan Tobaco, Inc.
During the first visit of President Duterte in Tokyo last year, the Philippines and Japan signed financial deals reaching USD19 billion.
Moreover, Lopez also had bilateral meeting with Japanese Trade and Industry Ministers Hiroshige Seko, in which they had discussions on boosting economic ties between the Philippines and Japan.
"[We] discussed improving market access and lowering tariff for our agricultural products such banana, pineapple, and mango," he said, adding that they also had talks on Industrial Cooperation Dialogue as well as expanding supply chain of Japanese companies in the country and partner with Filipino small and medium enterprises.
Lopez added that the Philippines, as chairman of this year's ASEAN Summit, has secured Japan's support to reach substantial conclusion of the ASEAN-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. (PNA)

Temple University physicist Rongjia Tao wants to build massive 1,000-foot high, 165-foot thick walls around the American Midwest to keep the tornadoes out. It may sound outlandish, but the proposal is based on the fact that the Chinese plains have few tornadoes. This is because they are surrounded by mountain ranges which slow down passing winds and prevent the formation of twisters.
Rongjia Tao's proposal was published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B. The paper suggests that huge walls could eliminate tornadoes all together by preventing the mixing of warm, moist air from the Gulf and the cold air heading southbound. The 1,000-foot high walls would function in a similar way as the Chinese hill ranges, breaking the air flow and preventing winds to gain strength. Tao point out that, while there were 81 tornadoes in the United States in 2013, in China there were only three.

One of the three proposed walls should be located close to the northern border of the Tornado Alley (North Dakota), one should be in the middle (Oklahoma), while the third one should be built in the south of Texas and Luisiana.
Although Tao believes in the feasibility of the project, he knows the possibility of actually building the walls is quite remote. "While building the three great walls will eventually eliminate major tornadoes in the entire Tornado Alley, it is unrealistic to expect such huge project to start in near future because of the costs and other factors," he said.

There are several ways to fulfill our responsibilities towards our fellow humans. There can never be more promising and more soothing than the feeling of being able to help, catering to those who are in need. You can achieve all these and more through volunteer abroad work programs.
This is where the effort of organizations like Involvement Volunteers International or IVI come in, offering programs designed to cater to the needs of a particular area or zone. They also offer programs that support voluntary work not only in Australia, but also in other parts of the world.
A volunteer work overseas program not only gives one an opportunity to serve those who are in need, but also extends the privilege to interact with people from various countries, ethnicities, and cultures. It doubles up as a unique experience to learn new languages and cuisines, as well as find out about the problems and the necessities of people around you.
Involvement Volunteers International, a volunteer overseas organization, was started in 1989 and has been contributing to the society by sending volunteers to different regions – along with required aids and materials such as food, medicine, clothes, and other support services.
IVI's best volunteer abroad programs are related to teaching overseas, protecting animals, providing medical missions, and volunteering in orphanages. They also have gap-year programs, which are flexible to suit your schedule.
These volunteer abroad programs also give volunteers the freedom to choose their preferred type of work. As per the program schedule in a particular place, someone is sent there to serve. These programs charge nominal application fees to participate, which takes care of the travel destination, the visa fees, the accommodation, and the food. It also includes marketing, essential administration, and development charges.
Involvement Volunteers International also offers special programs for community development, especially within rural areas in developing countries. These programs include procuring cattle and poultry for the earning purpose of rural women – where they can run a small poultry farm or earn through dairy products.

I just phoned the shop, it has finally come out and it costs 540 bloody EUR !!! Thanks Finnished for the comment, could you buy me one in Finland and send down here :) ! Anyway, if I buy it abroad, is warranty given worthy in my country, by authorized Nokia representative service ? I know Sony has that politics, what about Nokia?
to debator,
i agree with your opinion...and for klaas pls. stop expressing your opinions i really can't apprehend what you're trying to say.
Nobody can take Klaas comments seriously as his writing skills compare to that of first graders and his comments sound idiotic. He is like a crooked car salesman trying to convince us to buy a VW instead of a Mercedes. And at same price. Maybe he is a paid marketing gimmick by Nokia showing what kind of a moron you will turn into after using SE phones. ;)
6230 is the best phone I've ever used. It has everything I need and more. Other brands are closing the gap but at the moment this has no rival in the market with as numerous features as 6230 has. SE fans, name one phone which has all of the following and is out in the market as we speak:
- mp3 ringtones
- FM radio
- removable MMC card to include several cds and not limited to 128 mb
- small size, weight under 100 grams
- bluetooth
- TFT 65k color screen
Answer: there isn't any other than 6230.
I found something bad about the software Nokia 6230 maybe only the first batch having tis problem.When u took a photo and set as wallpaper(A).Then u took another photo replaced the previous photo as a wallpaper(B).Now if u intend to delete the first photo u took u are unable to.The only ways is to on/off the phone or using default setting.
go for the best and get the best! simple as that, my comment on nokia 6230 is very good, perhaps sonyericsson is good but not very good. i have used se most of the models including p900, but no one of it is user friendly as nokia and it's the fact. you think why nokia has been no.1 all these years in the market, because of the user friendly interface. it's truth!
Finnished,you give up becouse you lose the discussion.
lady if you think the 6230 is good,than buy it,becouse Finnished cannot against criticism.Just as the rest of the nokia freaks here.The only what I heard how well the 6230 is and no single nagatief points, While I also the 6230 have.
I find he really pitifully to hear, that he think that I a SE fan.
As men with bad experience and opinion about the device, then are they equal as SE fans according to you.
Are you so naief ?
Precise as is your English, perhaps...?
Lady, buy the 6230 and you won't regret it. Look what happens when you start messing with other phones. You start writing pointless messages which don't make any sense. (pointing downwards)
Thank you, this was my last message here. I give up with these SE guys. If you don't get it, then you just don't get it...
My judgement is justify just like my English.I am usual precise in that things.
You find that the screen are good, I find that the screen not good at all. It is my opinion and my experience with the this device.I have respect for other men opinion, but apparently you don't.
And as you think that you have me with you so-called good English,then must you once good look to you self.For that does me nothing.What me about it is that the device do not is good in its budget segment. Meanwhile that you satisfied are about the 6230 then am I also to peace for you.
I find the 6220 usual converted to 6230 nothing more.
I wish you happy with you 6230.
Greetings from Klaas.
Oh Please Lah! Happy just buy the phone 6230 and enjoy it and not happy don't buy lah! To me, I'm very happy this phone 6230. So small and yet so powerful, what's there to complain anymore. Hope everyone here have a nice weekend ahead. Bye! Bye!
I'm currently using 6310i which has been perfect to me in every single way, it never failed once. I carry my digital camera with me, so having the poor one in mobile phone would be stupid. Since I have to give this phone away, I'm looking for the new one, the same fast and reliable. Is 6230 the right choice ? Yes, I did go through all other manufacturer phones, but I am still Nokia fan, please tell me this is THE phone, in all other Nokia phones something is missing, damn !
I have never used P900 but I can say that MP3 quality is excellent in 6230. Hifi stuff is my hobby so I know good sound quality.
Of course the speaker sound quality isn't perfect. It's not possible to stuff perfect speakers into a mobile phone case, there's not enough room. However I would say that the speaker in 6230 does the job as well as it can be done by a mobile phone.
Bad screen? Is it really BAAAAD?? Klaas, your judgment is as good as your English. Come on, you must be joking. It's very good for the size of the phone. If some other brand and make has better screen, good for them, but you cannot seriously say the screen is bad.
I got mine for under 400 euros (Finland). P900 costs twice as much. Still got something to say about the price, Klaas?
The build quality is one of the best I have ever seen in Nokia phones. The cover does not move a bit or make any sound when using it. The keypad is the best I have ever used. It's got big keys and must feel good for everyone wanting to type without problems. It definitely does not feel cheap plastic. I would rather say it looks and feels classic.
Menu and the interface are solid Nokia quality. Everything is logical and easy to find, and it works quickly. Appreciation for that can be seen in Nokia market share, Klaas = 40 %.
P900 only support 128MB memory stick but Nokia 6230 support 256MB MMC. In this aspect, Nokia 6230 wins.
For me, an mp3 player only have 128MB, which is probably not enough for me.
Furthermore, P900 does not have built-in FM radio.
Yes ur opinions are valid too, but really if ur in a gym and are wanting to run and listen to music would u have it on loud speaker- em no, secondly i would not use a cd player as u have to pay for the music where in 3 mins i can send a song to my phone via blue tooth from my laptop, in additon u may be right that the p900 is beter quality but look at the bulkiness of the motherfucka, i enjoy a light run not 5 tons drooping in my pocket just to listen to a few tunes !!! price - what u talking about i forget ho wcheap the p900 really is the guy only offered me it for £300 on a contract - fuck sake i got my 6230 for free and could buy it sim free cheaper than a contract p900, i do admit the p900 and SE are great phones but currently i ahvent felt or used a nicer phone, its small cheerful, packed full of features all be it they are not amazingly good but ur forgetting its a phone as long as its GOOD im happy- in relation to its size id say they match the p900, affordable, clasy, unique, good features- u cant argue klass
I have respect for you opinion,but do you not exaggerate a little bit?
The MP3 quality of the 6230 is not good compared with the P900,yes I know it's belong a another segment but both play's MP3 file's.No excuses please.
Set him only once via the speakerphone then you will well certain brands what I mean and It is nornaal that via the headphones reasonably good is, but not super good as the P900.
I complain gather round the MP3 quality, bad screen&menu and interface, price, and the building quality falls me dirty against, feels as cheap plastic.
I just got this phone and after using it for a while I can say...
I am particularly amazed and speechless about the MP3 quality from the headphones. It's perfect. Klaas & Co, don't bother complaining about this, I have read mobile phone magazine reviewers and other users to say the same.
The display and graphics are also quite good, I wouldn't call the display small at all.
The camera has very good quality - for VGA pics. We are all waiting for 1 MP cameras but meanwhile this will do the job.
I cannot understand why some ppl just complain about this phone. Or I do, they have not even used it and want to promote other brands. Yes, you know who I am talking about. I would understand comments saying that "I do not like this particular feature etc." but totally flaming the phone is just idiotic. Punkt slut.
Gee...you people from SE are really crazy, the rating of this phone drops dramatically in the last few days. There were only just additional 200~300 votes but the average rating of the phone has droped from 8.66 to around 8.54, that means most of the votes from the previous couple of days are all 1,1,1 votes. You guys from SE are just sick, you have got nothing better to do? By the way, 200~300 in 3days could be done by only 10ppl, the voting system refreshes the IP tracking like 1~2hrs a time.

"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. …Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did and it never will." – Frederick Douglass (1857)
Our late brother Kwame Toure (aka Stokley Carmichael) always used to answer his phone with the phrase "Ready for the Revolution." I didn't know him as well as I would have liked, but I vividly recall an occasion when I arranged for him to speak at a class in African Studies I taught at Washington International College in Washington D.C. in the late seventies. He came and mesmerized my students for over two hours, discussing topics as diverse as his role in SNCC, his relationship with MLK, and the purpose and role of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party, which was founded by Kwame Nkrumah in Conakry, Guineau in 1968 to advance the cause of Pan Africanism, and which he led in the U.S. from the 1970's until his death in 1998.
Linked below on the American Rhetoric website is a speech he gave at UC Berkeley in 1966 on "Black Power." The speech has been listed among "the 100 most significant American political speeches of the 20th century, according to 137 leading scholars of American public address." The audio recording of the speech (running time: 53.21) is provided, along with the full text and a link to download it as a PDF.
Kwame Toure's rhetoric, thought, and revolutionary leadership significantly impacted the human rights struggle in the U.S. and across the globe. With his colleague and co-author, Charles Hamilton, Toure introduced the term and concept of "institutional racism." He also deserves credit for popularizing the slogan "Black Power," which for him embodied and signified the struggle against anti-black racism here and abroad.

Product Design, UI, Brand & Project management
I wear many "hats" at Rebrandly, the main one is being the Lead Product Designer. I was responsible for redesigning our dashboard and creating a reusable set of rules and components. I've followed development teams closely by doing continuous QA sessions, management of their priorities and workflow, along with validation of submissions to production.
UI Design & Product Design
With an important technological turnover, it was important to define the basis where Paddypower could grow from in an integrated betting system used across the web, mobile and native applications. My day-to-day was always different, I was responsible for reaching an agreement between all the parties involved in the product (large company, you know the drill), deliver a consistent design solution with the previously defined brand language and create a consistent style guide used by the multiple development teams. I worked closely with product owners, business and lead developers to deliver a go to market solution in few months timeframe.
Over the past few years, I had the pleasure of working together with great people and deliver amazing digital products. My influence on those projects grown over time started off as a simple "executer" learning closely from my peers to the point I was ready to lead my teammates and the products directly with our customers.
None of this projects was "solely" done by me, they are the fruit of the labour of multiple people, from different disciplines.
Case studies are available upon request, get in touch
I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing companies

A man has been charged after allegedly pushing his elderly mother's face into a bowl of boiling water and holding a knife to her throat in Sydney's lower north shore.
The 49-year-old man demanded money from the 75-year-old woman at her Castlecrag house on Wednesday afternoon, police say.
When she refused, he poured boiling water into a bowl and forced her face into it. He then held a knife to her throat, poured alcohol on her head and threatened to set her alight.
Police confirmed the pair are known to each other, but it's believed the pair are mother and son.
The man fled the scene after stealing cash and other items but was arrested a few streets away.
He's been charged with charged with assault, intimidation, was refused bail to appear at Hornsby Local Court on Thursday.
The son will also be charged over 10 outstanding warrants, police said.
Police assisted the 75-year-old, who declined hospital treatment, after the incident.
It's believed she lived in the Castlecrag house by herself, according to News Ltd.

Just when we thought it was safe to say that the Hawks (the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, sort of the F.B.I.'s poor cousin here in South Africa) had finally got their claws out of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, they're back! Conveniently waiting until after the local elections, they have once again subpoenaed Gordhan regarding alleged irregularities while he was head of the South African Revenue Service (S.A.R.S.).
Their first attempt at "having a go" at Gordhan ended with egg on the Hawks' faces. The allegations of running a secret financial intelligence unit without official permission was revealed to have been nonsense—misinformation leaked to a gullible press (some of it owned or partly-owned by President Jacob Zuma's cronies). Together with this old chestnut, the Hawks are investigating whether he approved the early retirement and subsequent rehiring on a fixed-term contract of Ivan Pillay, a S.A.R.S. deputy director.
The latter, in effect meaning that Pillay would receive his pension but still work for S.A.R.S., is odd but it is hardly a crime. It is often done in South Africa, particularly in the past as part of affirmative action retirements. A government employee (usually white) would retire early—"take the package" as it was called—but would frequently work on a part-time contract, often mentoring his or her successor. There's nothing illegal in that.
The intelligence unit issue is a little more complex. Gordhan has admitted that he set up an intelligence network within S.A.R.S. to investigate tax evasion and other crimes against the fiscus. South African law here is oddly phrased, but legal experts assume that it can be read as follows. A government department can investigate covertly matters pertaining to its work—i.e., S.A.R.S. can investigate tax evasion—but not if the matter is the subject the country's national security.
In short it seems that the anti-Gordhan witch hunt is on again.
President Jacob Zuma has insisted that he fully supports his minister of finance and believes him innocent but claims he can do nothing to stop the investigation. Legal expert Pierre de Vos believes otherwise: under the law Zuma can have the head of the Hawks removed or suspended for a variety of reasons, including misuse of his office.
But he hasn't. Or more likely, he won't.
Fundamentally, Gordhan and his director general in finance are in a battle with Zuma and his political and economic allies over bailing out South African Airways, which is basically bankrupt. This is widely believed to be the result of mismanagement and corruption from on high by its directors, who are Zuma appointees. It is also widely believed that some of these appointees have been unduly influenced in their duties by the Guptas, the Indian billionaire family who have in the past gained profit through what is seen as a corrupt relationship with Zuma and company.
This state capture, as it's called here, is fiercely opposed by Gordhan. Gordhan is being supported in this struggle by opposition parties, sections of the A.N.C. (often in secret), by civil society groups like the Helen Suzman Foundation and by veteran human rights lawyers like George Bizos.
For them it is a battle for the soul of South Africa, for good governance and economic stability in the face of a slide into populism and state collapse.

Is Gazit Globe (GZT) a Great Stock for Value Investors?
Value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. After all, who wouldn't want to find stocks that are either flying under the radar and are compelling buys, or offer up tantalizing discounts when compared to fair value?
One way to find these companies is by looking at several key metrics and financial ratios, many of which are crucial in the value stock selection process. Let's put Gazit Globe Ltd GZT stock into this equation and find out if it is a good choice for value-oriented investors right now, or if investors subscribing to this methodology should look elsewhere for top picks:
PE Ratio
A key metric that value investors always look at is the Price to Earnings Ratio, or PE for short. This shows us how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings in a given stock, and is easily one of the most popular financial ratios in the world. The best use of the PE ratio is to compare the stock's current PE ratio with: a) where this ratio has been in the past; b) how it compares to the average for the industry/sector; and c) how it compares to the market as a whole.
On this front, Gazit Globe has a trailing twelve months PE ratio of 19.2, as you can see in the chart below:
This level actually compares pretty favorably with the market at large, as the PE for the S&P 500 compares in at about 21.7. If we focus on the stock's long-term PE trend, the current level puts Gazit Globe's current PE ratio somewhat above its midpoint (which is 16.5) over the past five years.
Further, the stock's PE also compares favorably with the industry's trailing twelve months PE ratio, which stands at 37.8. At the very least, this indicates that the stock is relatively undervalued right now, compared to its peers.
We should also point out that Gazit Globe has a forward PE ratio (price relative to this year's earnings) of just 11.6, so it is fair to say that a slightly more value-oriented path may be ahead for Gazit Globe's stock in the near term too.
P/S Ratio
Another key metric to note is the Price/Sales ratio. This approach compares a given stock's price to its total sales, where a lower reading is generally considered better. Some people like this metric more than other value-focused ones because it looks at sales, something that is far harder to manipulate with accounting tricks than earnings.
Right now, Gazit Globe has a P/S ratio of about 3.3. This is slightly lower than the S&P 500 average, which comes in at 3.5 right now. Also, as we can see in the chart below, this is marginally below the highs for this stock in particular over the past few years.
If anything, Gazit Globe is towards the higher end of its range in the time period from a P/S metric, which suggests that the company's stock price has already appreciated to some degree, relative to its sales.
Broad Value Outlook
In aggregate, Gazit Globe currently has a Value Style Score of A, putting it into the top 20% of all stocks we cover from this look. This makes GZT a solid choice for value investors.
What About the Stock Overall?
Though Gazit Globe might be a good choice for value investors, there are plenty of other factors to consider before investing in this name. In particular, it is worth noting that the company has a Growth grade of F and a Momentum score of F. This gives GZT a VGM score—or its overarching fundamental grade—of D. (You can read more about the Zacks Style Scores here >>)
Meanwhile, the company's recent earnings estimates have been encouraging. The full-year 2017 has seen one estimate go higher in the past sixty days, compared to none lower, while the full-year 2018 estimate has seen a similar trend in the same time period.
This has had a favorable impact on the consensus estimate, as the full-year 2017 consensus estimate has risen about 8.6% in the past two months, while the full-year 2018 estimate has increased nearly 5.6%. You can see the consensus estimate trend and recent price action for the stock in the chart below:
This bullish trend is why the stock boasts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and why we are expecting outperformance from the company in the near term.
Bottom Line
Gazit Globe is an inspired choice for value investors, as it is hard to beat its incredible lineup of statistics on this front. With a formidable industry rank (top 5% out of more than 250 industries) and strong Zacks Rank, Gazit Globe looks like a strong value contender. However, over the past one year, the sector has clearly underperformed the broader market, as you can see below:
Despite positive estimate revision activity, investors should wait for industry trends to turn around first. When it does, this stock could be a compelling value pick.

Many children's toy kitchens come with knobs that click and spin. Why? Because kids LOVE turning them. They can't help it! As soon as Kayla was starting to crawl I put these Safety 1st Clear View Stove Knob Covers on our stove knobs and 3 years later most of them are still intact and Kayla has never once managed to defeat them.
When I was first shopping for them I would read reviews saying things like "my child figured these out in a day" I'm not sure if these people have aerospace engineers for babies or maybe they just put them on way too late - after their kids started playing with the stove knobs. I think the key is getting them on the stove well before your child develops an interest in the stove knobs because then they won't even know they're missing out on a fun kitchen amusement.
This might sound a tad crazy but I also really think that by unlocking these on the down low and usually blocking the line of sight of my mischievous toddler I was able to keep her from seeing mom or dad do it and therefore prevent her from discovering the fun new open/close toy that they would otherwise become.
If your child does attempt to come over and spin them a firm "No, danger" and handing them a safe kitchen alternative like a spatula should be enough to make them lose interest pretty quickly. We have had one break off in the 3 years they've been in use but I have to blame that on user error - ramming a cast iron pot into it.
Just think about how happy you will be when you don't come back from taking 18 seconds in the bathroom to relieve yourself to find a nice flame going on the stove. The appx $9 price tag for a pack of 5 seems well worth it, right? You can find them right here: Get my stove knobs, keep my sanity

The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, on Tuesday inaugurated the newly-established 16 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Bayelsa into operation with patrol in and around Yenogoa.
The brigade was set up in November 2016 as part of efforts to address militancy and other forms of criminality in the Niger Delta region.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Buratai, a Lieutenant General, noted that the security challenges witnessed in the area in recent past had resulted in dwindling resources accruing to the nation.
He said that the security challenges confronting the nation and Niger Delta in particular, required the establishment of the brigade in the area.
He urged the officers and soldiers of the brigade to swing into action like their colleagues in the North-East by moving into suspected criminal hideouts in the creeks to fish them out.
Mr. Buratai also charged them to ensure that the waterways were made safe for the people to go about lawful business.
Speaking earlier when he visited Gov. Seriake Dickson at Government House, the COAS stressed the need to protect Bayelsa from possible external aggression from its borders with the Atlantic Ocean.
He said the army would soon establish a battalion in Nembe, headquarters of Nembe Local Government Area of the state.
In his response, Mr. Dickson traced the security challenges witnessed in the Nembe axis to its closeness to the Atlantic Ocean and requested the establishment of army formation in the area.
"We understand the primacy of security because without it there will be no development," he said, and thanked army for ensuring security in the state. (NAN)

Video overload
Long ago there was Broadcast Television which was basically 4 channels - NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS. They were transmitted via those large towers that spread the signal 'over the air'. You needed a good set of rabbit ears to pick them up with decent clarity. Then along came cable. These companies sent a hard wire directly into your house, eliminating the need for antennas and allowing for more channels to be carried. With this new technology channels of every kind started blooming - MTV, CNN, WEATHER, ESPN, DISCOVERY, etc.... All of a sudden there was more information available, faster, to more people. The cable companies dominated the video media landscape - they owned the hard wires and if you wanted cable you had to buy it from them. Fast forward a few years and we see Satellite television. Remember those gigantic satellite dishes you'd see in yards or up on a roof. Those things looked like your house was the broadcast center for a major network. Man, those things were ugly. And to pick up different channels you actually had to program the satellite to point to a different location in the sky to pick up the signal from a different broadcast satellite. Years later these colossal eyesore would be replaced by the sleek digital satellites - Dish Network and the likes. These dishes only have to point to one location to receive a digital stream of information containing a whole list of channels. So our main video sources at this point are cable companies and satellite providers. But now things are changing at a break neck pace. Prepare yourself for a complete upheaval in everything you know about home video.
Many things are happening. First - Telecom (that's telecommunications) providers like Verizon, Sprint, and BellSouth have petitioned, sued, and won the right to provide cable video via their own networks. Fair enough I guess, the cable companies stomped all over the telecom territories a few years ago when they started providing voice service. This means that you'll have 3 choices for video service - cable, satellite, telco. In theory the competition would make the service cheaper - but in reality the cable and satellite companies will just think of new ways to get a buck from you to make up for the bucks they lose to the telcos. Imagine being the local cable advertiser. One year you spend $20,000 to advertise with Cox cable which goes to 200,000 homes in the area. The next year maybe 75,000 of those homes now have Verizon "cable" and you have to spend $20,000 with Cox and $8,000 with Verizon to reach the same amount of people with the same number of commercials. It will get very frustrating for advertisers.
Now enters the internet. IPTV as it is called (Internet Protocol Television) offers something that people really want: The abiblity to watch only the shows or channels they want to without paying for "packages". I, for one, hate paying $75 a month for 250 channels when my family, combined, only watches maybe 17 of them. Internet based television will allow you to download and watch a baseball game, sitcom, movie, or new cast either live or recorded whenever you want, wherever you want. Every day data transfer rates get faster. Look at iPod video. It's been a big deal in the news the last 6 months or so that the networks are selling episodes of prime time TV shows to Apple for iPod downloads. Millions of people have paid $1.00 per episode to be able to watch Lost or ER while they're on the subway or waiting in line at the bank. YouTube is a very popular video site where anybody can upload any video they want and you can download it for your viewing pleasure. Surely the internet will be the future of VOD (Video On Demand).
I predict a lot of confusion and 'flooding of the market' with all these options. What excites me though is the potential for mass information gathering. I'm not one to use the internet solely for entertainment purposes - sure I have some music/band sites I visit every now and then and this blog site entertains me - but most of my surfing is to learn something. Having information, anything imaginable, at our fingertips is such an advantage that I feel sorry for all generations that came before. How did they learn? When a song was stuck in their head and they really wanted to figure out who sang it how did they figure it out? When they had the urge to find a quick tid-bit about South American emerald mining who did they turn to? I can find out about anything I have the remotest interest in. Once the internet has fully taken over the video industry I'll not only have static web pages to learn from, but an endless source of documentaries, how to's, and other informational videos.
It's gonna be messy but bring it on.

An Omaha police officer fired after the violent arrest of a man that was caught on video is reinstated. After the termination of Officer Jacki Dolinski, her case was reviewed by an independent arbitrator and the president of the Omaha Police Union, John Wells says determined her use of force was justified. He says Dolinsky used an approved tactic after being kicked and grabbed by the suspect.
The man who was the subject of that arrest says he isn't surprised. Robert Wagner's arrest was caught on surveillance video in May of 2011 outside of Creighton University Medical Center. In that video you can see Wagner taken to the ground by several police officers. Wagner says other officers should have intervened when several went overboard. He also doesn't blame the officers but someone should be held responsible.
Wagner ended up pleading no contest to attempted assault on a police officer and will be sentenced later this month. Prior to the plea Wagner's trial ended in a mistrial. An arbitration hearing will be held later this summer for the second officer fired, Aaron Pennington.

These guys have done it again.
When German tuning house AC Schnitzer got its hands on a BMW X6 M, it was practically a sure thing that the result would be nothing short of spectacular. After all, the X6 M already comes from the factory with an impressive 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 567 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. However, this just didn't seem like enough for the tuning firm. It insisted on squeezing every last drop of power from that V8 engine. All told, AC Schnitzer managed to push the X6 M's output to an astonishing 641 hp.
It's safe to assume that this was achieved by modifying the ECU like other tuners such as G-Power have done to the SUV. In addition to the horsepower increase, AC SChnitzer's X6 M kit also comes with a new front skirt, carbon-fiber rear wing, rear skirt inserts and hood vents, new tailpipes available in three different color combinations, and a sports suspension spring kit for better handling. Customers can choose from several different sets of wheels such as AC1 wheels, Type VIII racing forged rims, and Type V lightweight forged alloys. The interior comes with a full aluminum pedal set, an aluminum foot rest, and special velour floor mats. Official pricing for the complete kit wasn't released.

Studio 54 style is a mix of urban club scene with over-the-top 70s Glam. Imagine Grace Jones and Mick Jagger lounging around on sleek leather couches and leopard print rugs under a crystal chandelier. For a more modern take, add in some neon and glow-in-the-dark touches. And of course a huge disco ball is a given.
Steal These Ideas
Multiple Disco Balls
It's true, you can never have too many. Grouping several together, in various sizes, will create a real "wow" effect. You can hang a few from the ceiling, stack a few on the dessert table, and fill vases with mini disco balls for dining tables.
Silver Curtains
Silver beads, tinsel door hangers and silver lame fabric will all look great covering your entrance, draped over windows, or on the wall behind the dessert table.
Vinyl Records
Old vinyl records (or the new vinyl record placemats and coasters) will give your room an old school mix-master feel. Hang records on the wall or from the ceiling with fishing line. Layer them under serving dishes and centerpieces. Album covers from disco classics, like Saturday Night Fever, also make great wall art.
Light Up Dance Floor
If you have the room, and the budget, ask your local party rental company about a classic light up dance floor (like the one John Travolta dances on). You can also turn a regular dance floor into something special with fun over head lighting such as strobe or rotating colored lights.

- Sandra BaumAsked on April 23, 2014 at 01:54 PM
I am putting together a non-profit event basketball tournament supporting cancer patients. I would like as much of the money as possible to go to the patients. Teams will register using the form and send payment via paypal. If I use a paypal account, does jotform take any percentage?
This is a one time event and I do not foresee more than 100 submissions. Moreover, Jotform says that I need a paypal business account. What do you recommend for this type of event? Is there anyway to avoid using a business account and just use a regular paypal account to collect payments? Thank you
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on April 23, 2014 at 03:33 PM
Thank you for your interest in our service.
No, we do not take any commissions, you will be paying the PayPal fees only. However, our Free accounts are limited to 10 payment submissions per month, so you will probably need to upgrade your JotForm account for one month (USD $9.95).
I think that the PayPal business account is required to be able to accept credit card payments. Also, there is a PayPal for Nonprofits. You might contact PayPal Support to find out more information on this.
Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Anyone who has observed the Greater Montréal skyline can see that it has been reaching higher and higher in recent years! The region is in the midst of its biggest building boom since the '60s and '70s — a period when many of its iconic skyscrapers went up. Today, construction cranes are hard at work on the Roccabella, the Tour des Canadiens, the Icône, the Deloitte tower and the Avenue. These projects will soon join the ranks of the region's recently completed towers such as Evolo I and II, the Altitude condos and the Marriott Courtyard. The metropolis is booming, no doubt about it.
What is less obvious is that a survey done by Emporis Research* ranks Montréal as the third-busiest construction site in North America, with 25 skyscrapers and buildings of 35 metres or more in height – behind Toronto and New York. In addition to moving up one spot since 2012, Montréal has moved ahead of other cities known for their skylines, such as Vancouver, Calgary, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. In addition to making a substantial addition to Greater Montréal's urban skyline, these new towers will add to the dynamism and densification of its central neighbourhoods.
The sky's the limit for the metropolis!

After presenting the strong narrative for the celebration of Belu water, i have encountered a few problems that could cause misunderstanding. For example the end of the Tv ad idea lacks any convincing effect and doesnt reflect the beginning of the ad. However, in the presentation i recieved good feedback and many other ideas to how icould develop it. I enjoyed this campaign massively due to its use of a narrative and is a new direction for me involving graphical work. On the whole i intend to take forward my skills throughout this project and inject them into the next advertising brief.

I have spent a really hefty amount of time heading into 2018 revising and listing my goals for the year. Both personal and professional. I have set some great goals for myself and my family. I have also realized how important family goal setting can be. Kids need to learn that they're in control of their own actions and achievements.
This great plan to help my kids set their own goals cam when I was choosing my One Word for 2018. I chose ELEVATE. A major part of that word was to be applied to my family and children. I want to include them in the family goal planning as well as help them define age-appropriate goals they can conquer as well.
I created a fun sheet where my kids (with my help) determined what they want to achieve this year.
I created these steps to help my kids and I create solid, achievable goals for themselves in 2018. There is some great advice from PBS about helping kids and families set goals as well.
Define what a goal is
List the ways that the kids can go about achieving their goals for the year
Share your own goals (for yourself and for your children)
Narrow down the steps to achieving their goals for the year and list them out
Help them list their Dreams or Wants (share long-term goals)
First, I explained to the kids what a goal is. We discussed our goals as a family. I introduced my 2018 word to The Mr. and the kids and told them how I expected to elevate our family. Then we talked about what we wanted to do as a family this year. We listed a couple vacation spots and committed to saving for these vacations.
Then I asked the kids what they did last year that made them proud. Oliver was proud of being in a higher level of math and he also played football last year. Those were his great achievements according to himself. We wrote them down. I asked him if he wanted to do even better this year. Of course, he did. He wanted to win all his football games. We decided that this was a good goal and wrote it down. After discussing what would make him able to win all his games we concluded together that practice should be a goal that he can measure. We listed out all the things the can do to achieve his goal of winning all his games.
Even if he doesn't win all his football games this year, he will still have achieved his goal of practicing more. He will know that he needs to succeed in the smaller goals to reach the big ones.
Then we listed our big dreams and wants. I had each kid use pictures instead of words to help them create their own type of "vision board". We included pictures of the places we wanted to go as a family, what we might want to be when we grow up (yes, we) and things we want that we might have to work towards.
Oliver is nearly 8 and this is the perfect at-home activity for school-age kids. My youngest children are 2 & 3, so much help was provided to them. The baby was simply thrilled to be allowed near the safety scissors to pick photos out a magazine. Honestly, the vision board part was Madeline's favorite part also. She is 3 and a half and she understands that she accomplishes things. With some guidance from mom and dad, we were able to decide that she should have a goal to go potty without "company" so that she will be ready for school next fall. That's a pretty fun goal for everyone, to be honest.
This activity really helped us define our goals as a family as well. Being able to see and hear from one another what needs to happen in order to achieve a goal puts everyone on the same page. To me, this is a great way to begin the New Year as a family.

How does this activity relate to my One Word? [ELEVATE]
I will elevate my family and help them rise to their full potential. We will lift one another up to help everyone succeed as individuals and together as a family. We will elevate our expectations of ourselves and one another by setting goals for the coming year.

Fresh off the back of a convincing 2-0 away win against relegation contenders Hull City, Sunderland fans are sure to be wondering what could have been. Relegation was confirmed last week for the club, as Bournemouth sunk them at home – and other results conspired against them.
However, as the full time whistle sounded around the KCom Stadium, and the Hull City players trudged off in the knowledge that a Swansea victory could put them perilously close to the drop, the Sunderland contingent finally had something to celebrate.
It has been a long and gruelling season for the Mackems, with uncertainty surrounding their managers at every turn – and pitiful performances from players brought in by David Moyes to help steady the tide instead causing the most hideous crash – potentially the worst seen in the club's entire history.
Sunderland have experienced 23 defeats this season – a crushing statistic when compared to previous seasons of mid-table safety. Moyes' appointment in July was quietly lauded by fans and pundits alike, after he replaced Sam Allardyce after the FA came calling.
Now both Moyes' and Allardyce's regimes could well be short lived with Sunderland's confirmed relegation, although the Scot is adamant he plans to see out the remainder of his four year contract.
After Sunderland's defeat against Middlesborough, Moyes predicted his team would be in for a season-long relegation fight. The Scot's prediction came after the second game. And the sorry truth is that he hasn't been proved wrong.
The summer transfer window was a shambles for the club too. Moyes operated on a strict budget handed to him by owner Ellis Short – so stuck to what he knew best. In came recruitments from his old clubs.
Steven Pienaar was handed a contract after injury related problems saw him released from Everton. Former Everton players were signed by the club; forward Victor Anichebe and Joleon Lescott came in, albeit accusations that the veteran defender was out of shape.
Darron Gibson and Bryan Oviedo was brought in during the January window, marking another transfer period of misery for Sunderland.
And the uninspiring signings led to limp performances on the pitch. The start of the season saw the club fail to win any of their first ten games in the Premier League – and a fourth round defeat against Southampton saw them crash out of the EFL Cup prematurely as well.
The back end of the campaign has also been a miserable one – after the club were the first in the top division to have their relegation confirmed.
The highs of the season have been few and far between – but Jermain Defoe scoring 14 goals on limited service is almost certain to see him move on during the summer.
It is puzzling that his manager's future remains uncertain. There has been no official support for Moyes coming from the higher levels of the club – but the Scot's comments recently seem to suggest he is assured of his future in the Stadium of Light dug out.
So with the club condemned to scrapping in the Championship next season, the Sunderland rebuilding job is surely a massive one.
But fans will be concerned that it doesn't seem to have begun yet.

Winter Bucket List Check In
Can someone please explain to me how it's already most of the way through January? Of 2018??? I know it's trite, but seriously, WHAT IS HAPPENING. Between holiday celebrations and the new year seeming to disappear without a trace, my winter bucket list has made slow progress.

Recently, I often see a title "G-university, L-university" in newspapers. But it seems very strange to me.
At first, concept is very strange to me. My opinion is that I want to go to university that seems intersting. So goverment's definition is none of business.
And second is that attitude for education.
Every people has a right to study, so competition of test is nonsense to me. Test is one of a tool to know about their understanding are.
So thinking such things, I find omae's article and I feel relief..
