Intelligent Multimedia Processing with Soft Computing
Soft computing represents a collection of techniques, such as neural networks, evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic, and probabilistic reasoning. As - posed to conventional "hard" computing, these techniques tolerate impre- sion and uncertainty, similar to human beings. In the recent years, successful applications of these powerful methods have been published in many dis- plines in numerous journals, conferences, as well as the excellent books in this book series on Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing. This volume is dedicated to recent novel applications of soft computing in multimedia processing. The book is composed of 21 chapters written by experts in their respective fields, addressing various important and timely problems in multimedia computing such as content analysis, indexing and retrieval, recognition and compression, processing and filtering, etc. In the chapter authored by Guan, Muneesawang, Lay, Amin, and Lee, a radial basis function network with Laplacian mixture model is employed to perform image and video retrieval. D. Androutsos, P. Androutsos, Plataniotis, and Venetsanopoulos investigate color image indexing and retrieval within a small-world framework. Wu and Yap develop a framework of fuzzy relevance feedback to model the uncertainty of users' subjective perception in image retrieval.
Presents novel applications of soft computing in multimedia processingAddresses researchers, graduate students, and industrial practitioners in the broad areas of multimedia and soft computing

Interview with Vendor of the Month: 2nd_World
Renderosity: How did you get into creating and selling digital assets?
2nd_World About 5 years ago I learned about Poser and played around with a trial of a very old Poser version. I loved it from the first moment, but I thought the amount of models included was a little limited. I bought models and I started to build some simple 3D models for my scenes like a wall or a table. This was so addicting that it didn't take long before the models became more complex. One year and a lot of modeling later, I felt the quality of my models had became high enough to sell them, this was when I started selling as Vendor 2nd World. My first models aren't available any more but they looked quite nice if I may say so myself.
When you are working on a project, what are you trying to achieve?
2nd_World I always try to to give my models and scenes a high level of realism and a lot of cool moving parts, realistic movement brings a model to life. Models like a car or a motorcycle take 2 to 3 weeks to build, and only within the last day's of work when the textures get added and the model is rigged (the parts get to move) then you slowly get to see the final result. That moment is incredibly satisfying.
Can you describe your basic workflow for us? What hardware/software do you use to create your scenes?
2nd_World A new project begins with a simple drawing, images/blueprints from the internet or photos I've made. But before I start I try to imagine the end result, this should give me enough inspiration to start. After that I use 3D studio Max for modeling, Photoshop for the textures and just upgraded to Poser 11 for the rest.
I always use Poser's standard FireFly renderengine for my images.
Realism attempt in Poser
I'm very impressed with the level of detail in your scenes? What research do you do and how do you achieve such realistic results?
2nd_World To me the realism of a model is in the small details. This has a limit of course, I can't give an airplane all the nuts and bolts it originally has. But I can give itworking doors, landing-gear, elevators, ailerons, flaps, rudder, airbrakes and so on ;)
I start with a lot of research when it comes to the technical stuff, the parts have to make sense and I love technical stuff. But at the end, the textures are just as important of course. Sometimes this takes a lot of tweaking, rendering, tweaking and rendering...I'm quite a perfectionist in the things I do and go on until I'm completely happy with the result.
Metro and subway station
How has Renderosity made a difference in your work?
2nd_World Well... Renderosity is my work. A few years ago I still had a job as a salesman next to the 3D modeling but the company went from bad to worse and we all lost our job. For me, this was an incredible opportunity to let me start for my own, and that is exactly what I have been doing for the past three years.
This wonderful community has made this possible, so thank you all!
Do you have any advice for a beginning vendor at Renderosity?
2nd_World Well yes. Be critical about your own work and ask yourself how happy you would be if you'd bought your own product. And of course make the things you enjoy yourself, If you're only producing for the money your work will miss that extra bit of effort.

John Abraham Launches Poster Of "Parmanu"
There is nothing more interesting and amazing than waiting for an exciting movie which is coming soon. The audience is usually enthralled after looking at the teaser trailer for a particular movie. It creates so much buzz among movie buffs which is amazing to see. Recently reports have said that John Abraham will be starring in a movie that is based on Nuclear War called "Parmanu".
The motion poster for this movie is already out and the fans are going crazy over his look in the movie and on how intense the poster actually looks as well. John Abraham basicallly unveiled the first poster for his next film titled ' Parmanu: The story of Pokhran' just a couple of days ago and it is already creating huge buzz among movie buffs. This movie is directed by Abhishek Sharma, and is based on the successful nuclear tests which were conducted in Pokhran, Rajasthan way back in 1998.
The actor shared the brand new poster this movie on all his social networking handles and profiles, mainly Instagram and Facebook, and also captioned it, "So happy to bring you the first look of my biggest test ever. #ParmanuFirstLook." However, John's new poster was nothing like his usual explosive posters which he is mostly comfortable with, this one basically has John's face merged with the map of Pokhran, which is really interesting and unlike anything the audience has seen before.
This film also stars Diana Penty and Boman Irani in pivotal roles, and this movie is well into its shooting schedule with the team shooting in two of the major metropolitan cities, Delhi and Mumbai. Some sources have also revealed that major portions of the film are being shot in Pokhran, and some major areas of the Pokhran Fort, Aada Bazaar and Gandhi Chowk Main.
The fans are waiting for this release and there is no doubt that this is going to be John's finest work yet.

Climbing Technology Nuptse Evo Crampon
A classic 12-point crampon that will cover you from winter walking, though mountaineering, to climbing at a respectable level, the Nuptse Evo represents great value for money, says Tom Ripley.
Paul Lewis takes a detailed look at types of crampons available here: Crampons - Everything You Need To Know!
So, how do the Lynx and Stinger compare?
Vertical front point crampons are favoured by most for winter climbing. Monopoints are very effective on hard mixed routes / steep ice and are used by many, myself included, for almost all climbing. The Lynx can be set up as dual or monopoints, and with a wire or plastic strap toe binding, while the Stinger is monopoint and wire binding only. Both feature two part, semi-rigid telescopic designs with a front and back section linked by a bar, the length of which is set by a spring clip in the heel section. Both come with antiball plates fitted. In terms of weight: set up as monopoints both are around 900-950g a pair.
"Both feature replaceable front points held in place by a single bolt. Changing points is much easier than the Meccano set experience of old..."
The Stinger comes in a little bit cheaper with an RRP of £170, versus £190 for the Lynx though the Lynx does come with four front points, alternative bindings and a very neat crampon bag. Replacement points come in at a £10 each for the Stinger (bolt kit sold separately), and £50 for four (including new bolts, nuts and spacers) for the Lynx. If mostly using the Lynx as monopoints, the supplied dual points provide a spare pair as part of the original package.
Both feature replaceable front points held in place by a single bolt. Changing points is much easier than the Meccano set experience of old fully rigid designs but it's still a bit of a fiddly job requiring an allen key and spanner (Petzl's linking bar has the spanner built into it) and best not undertaken at 5am in a car heading north.
Stinger: The Stingers are out-and-out monopoint climbing crampons. They feature replaceable offset (sit under the big/second toe) single front points held in place by a single bolt and a slot that interlocks with the crampon frame. A couple of stubby points protruding from the frame alongside the main front point give a bit of extra support on neve or soft ice. The design and layout of the rest of the points is similarly climbing-focused with all featuring serrations to add to grip. The second points angle forwards to support the front point, while the third and fourth angle back giving good 'pulling' purchase when edging or standing on turf blobs. There's also a great 90 + degree angle between the second and third points that matches very well onto square cut rock edges such as those found on Ben Nevis and Glen Coe mixed. The rear points are a pretty standard four-point layout – with the rearmost points angled to provide braking when walking downhill. Lastly, where the centre bar joins the front and rear the Stingers have slightly raised toothed sections – a great addition which both protects the most vulnerable bit of the antiballing plate and gives added purchase when standing on small rock spikes or ice blobs.
"The Stingers are out-and-out monopoint climbing crampons.
The design and layout of the points is climbing-focused..."
Lynx: The Lynx has quite a conventional general point layout – the second points angle forwards to support the front point(s), with a reasonable (though not as big as on the Stinger) angle to the slightly backward facing third points. The rest point straight down, with downhill braking orientated points on both the front and rear section. The front points have the same great chisel shape as those in the Darts, and can be set up as duals (including of different lengths) or monopoint as desired. The length adjustment is a nice feature, but I personally found the shorter setting worked better in all configurations. As a monopoint convert, climbing in duals again felt a bit odd at first, but also noticeably gripper and more stable on soft Scottish ice – they were very welcome on a badly thawing ice gully where my partners monos looked a bit insecure in the slushy crud.
Not much to comment here – both do the job well, fit securely and have so far proven suitably durable, and both lime green and orange stick out brightly in traditional bum shot photos like the above!
A good climbing crampon fit needs to achieve two things – first a solid (e.g. no sideways movement or flex) fit onto the boot, and second a matched fit – front and second points in the right position and with the right prominence, and other points lining up adequately with the edges of the boot and sitting under the heel properly.
Stinger: The Stinger has a traditional wire baled clip-in binding, both parts of which can be adjusted forwards and backwards slightly by changing the hole that the wire slots into. The plastic heel clip is a neat design and easily field adjustable for fine-tuning. Overall, getting a solid and matched fit onto all the boots I've tried (Scarpa, La Sportiva, Mammut) proved pretty straightforward. The only criticism is that the front bale (despite claims to be slimmer than previous BD ones), still seems a bit wider than necessary even on size UK12 boots – sideways movement isn't a problem, but it does jut out a bit to the sides and as a result sometimes catches in wide cracks.
Lynx: One of the major selling points of the Lynx is the adaptable front binding system – a very neat solution from Petzl. In both configurations there's loads of forwards and back adjustment allowing a solid fit to be achieved. The plastic front loop version feels just as secure as the wire bale, and has the advantage of not having to chip ice out of the boot slot and fitting e.g. ski boots and boots without front welts (B2 rated). The rear bail is a traditional clip design (as opposed to the system found on the Darts), which works and adjusts well. However, while I can see the logic of putting the strap below the pivot it works less well at preventing the heel-lever being accidently levered open e.g. during offwidth wrestling so personally I prefer the BD design. In terms of the matched fit, I found the Lynx fitted superbly on more modern asymmetric boots (e.g. Scarpa Phantom), but needed quite a bit of trial and tweaking on older straighter models (and ski boots) – the front points angled inwards a bit too much on initial attempts.
"One of the major selling points of the Lynx is the adaptable
front binding system – a very neat solution from Petzl."
I sense the jury is still out on whether BD's move to stainless steel is any improvement over tried and tested chromoly steel. The Lynx shows a few rust spots where the coating has scraped off, but given that there are many 20 year old chromoly crampons still going out there I don't think rust is a major concern. In terms of durability, the Stingers are showing slightly more point rounding, but given that they've not been used on exactly the same routes it's difficult to accurately comment on relative resistance to blunting – both are showing some from Cairngorm granite, but neither have needed the attention of a file after half a dozen or so routes apiece.

I've been climbing for a bit over ten years, and am currently based in Edinburgh having escaped from the southern flatlands. Climbing highs include Scottish winter climbing, a couple of trips to the Alaska Range, classic alpine routes, sunny ski touring, cragging in the UK and abroad, and beers and craic in the pub afterwards. Lows include Scottish winter climbing, alpine bivies, base camp blues, midges and the UK weather... I guess I'd like to be a jack of all trades and I'm definitely a master of none, but most enjoy the great variety of climbing and look forward to trips back to old favourites and hopefully many new and different places.

A classic 12-point crampon that will cover you from winter walking, though mountaineering, to climbing at a respectable level, the Nuptse Evo represents great value for money, says Tom Ripley.
Most winter fans need an all-rounder in their crampon stash - one pair for everything from Munro walks to lower grade mountaineering. The Grivel Air Tech is designed specifically to meet this broad remit. So how does it perform? Dan Bailey gives it a bash.
Climbing Technology's range of winter hardware continues to grow and for winter 2014 they have a crampon in the range to suit just about every requirement - from Lakeland hill walks to Alpine couloirs. All models are made in Climbing Technology's...
The lightest technical crampons currently available allied to a very clever modular design that means they will fit many different boots types. But what compromises need to be made to get down the weight down so low?

Resident doctors begin nationwide strike June 9
The National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria (NARD) will start a nationwide strike on Thursday, June 9.
The National President, Dr Muhammad Askira told reporters in Kano on Tuesday that the decision was taken at the ordinary general meeting of the National Executive Council of the association held between May 30 and June 5 in Jos.
He said "16 out of 58 federal tertiary institutions or centres were exempted from the initial centre based strike for the commitment of the Chief Medical Director of the hospitals to implement the Federal Government's directives.''
He said if by midnight of Sunday, June 19, their demands were not met, all the members of the association, including those exempted, would join the indefinite nationwide strike.
Askira said the association found it necessary to take the painful decision following the inability of the government to meet its demands.
"Due to the failure of the government to address the demands of NARD, it has declared a total and indefinite strike.
"NARD has to take this painful decision in order to highlight the plight of our hardworking members who have had to endure a long period of deprivation and disenfranchisement," he said.
He said the association would continue to be open to discussion and ready to partner government to ensure effective health care service delivery to Nigerians.

The Home Instead office, based in Springfield, MA, is launching a specialized training program in sensitivity to Alzheimer's Disease with the goal being making the community more Alzheimer's friendly.
The training will be offered as a free service to local businesses to help employees be more equipped in dealing with families caring for a loved one who suffers from this debilitating disease.
The programs ultimate goal is to counter the isolation that results from this disease. In a recent survey of Alzheimer's caregivers, 74% reported that their loved ones had become increasingly isolated from the community. 85% said they feel a reduced quality of life because of this isolation.
According to Alzheimer's Disease International, the number of people with dementia worldwide is expected to grow to a remarkable 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050.
According to Home Instead officials, local businesses can work directly with the home office to coordinate in-person training sessions. After the training, the businesses will receive a window sticker indicating that they are an Alzheimer's Friendly Business. A designation that will be valid for 2 years.

I like Trump's tearing down America's overregulation, covertly and illegally legislated and instituted by 8 years of Obama's unelected bureaucrats. I think that alone has done more for the economy than anything else. The corporate tax decrease was also long overdue.
I like his first supreme court pick, his latest one not so much. I can appreciate the seating of constitutionalist textualist, literalist on the most powerful court.
How anybody can not like the lowest unemployment rates for blacks and Latin Americans ever is beyond me. The flimsey argument that Obama set the stage for that is preposterous in my opinion.
I appreciate his foreign policy. The dressing down of the NATO Europeans for their intentional failure to pay a fair share of NATO dues tickles me pink. It's been way too long coming. I like the fact that he wants to negotiate with everybody even Russia and North Korea and always is looking for the best or a better deal for the United States. He's right about our leverage being our advantage. They need us more than we need them policy.
I'm a newly converted fan of his wall on our southern border.
I have some issues with Trump, his narcissistic personality, (but I do like his total disregard for political correctness.)
I question his, what I see as overkill, with military spending.
I oppose his signing a bloated, outrageous, ungodly, debt riddled federal budget.

A fight that started on Facebook has cost the life of a three-year-old girl.
Three-year-old Amiracle Williams was shot and pronounced dead at the hospital, according to Detroit Police.
"It just seems like I can't make it without her," Williams mother Freida Tiggs told {WJBK.}
Williams' sister Chinetta Williams was threatened on Facebook, Instagram and phone by a former friend of hers. Afterwards, a group of men and women showed up to Williams home on the 11000 block of Mogul Street in Detroit.
"They started jumping her, Tiggs told {WJBK.} "I threw myself over her and they started hitting me, kicking me and I mean just no respect at all and they just started shooting. I tried to lay down and pretend like I was dead. It didn't stop them. They kept shooting."
Amiracle's father tried to protect the women by firing a shot of his own gun, but a young man grabbed the gun from him and started shooting as he went inside of the house, according to{WJBK.}
Amiracle's mother, father and another woman were shot as well and were rushed to St. John's hospital.
"I just want justice for my sister," Chinetta told {WJBK} as tears rolled down her face. "We can't bring her back. We can't bring her back."
Donnie Everett, 24, has been charged with First Degree Murder, Felony Murder, five counts of Assault with Intent to Murder, Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Felony Firearm.
This makes me sick to my stomach that social media has led to the murder of a THREE-YEAR-OLD smh. We (Blacks) gotta do better as a community man. Instead of killing, we need to be motivating and helping each other. This is no excuse for resulting to violence by beating up a whole family and leaving them scarred for life by an ignorant decision.

creamy tomato polenta gnocchi with bacon/
I am drooling a little just writing this post. Have you ever randomly thrown something together and then continued to be impressed with yourself at how ridiculously good it was? This is one of those times. Lately, work has been a little...hectic. Every job has a busy season and mine is the winter. And so it goes... (please tell me you are a Kurt Vonnegut fan and you loved that Slaughterhouse Five reference). Anyway, keeping up with cooking and blogging has been a challenge the past few weeks so Dave and I have relied heavily on healthy packaged foods, 10 minute meals and rousing games of Refrigerator Roulette. The other night, I dragged myself to the fridge around 10pm, took a look around and grabbed Trader Joe's Polenta Provencal from the freezer and...oh look, I found bacon!! I've mentioned that I usually keep uncured fully cooked bacon (from where else but Trader Joe's) in the fridge for reasons such as this. I had not tried this new polenta meal yet, so this dish was either going to be knock your socks off amazing or a terrible, horrible flop. Knowing it made it to the blog, I will let you decide how it went. Or you can judge by the fact that Dave inhaled it and then proclaimed it was the best thing he has ever had (I know, he does say that a lot, doesn't he?). #knockyoursocksoff
Serves: 2
Prep & Cook Time: 10 minutes
Fresh From the Market
- 6 slices Uncured Bacon (preferably precooked)
From the Freezer
- 1 bag Trader Joe's Polenta Provencal
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Skillet or Microwave
Cooking Instructions:
- This entire meal can be prepared with either a skillet or a microwave, depending on your preference.
- Follow the instructions on the packages but the polenta will cook for about 8 minutes and the bacon only needs to be heated up for a few minutes. Seriously.
- This polenta is just like gnocchi which is beyond exciting for me because gnocchi was my favorite pasta before going gluten free. The sauce is a spicy creamy tomato with veggies and it is unbelievably good. Make the bacon crispy so you can simply crumble it over the top of the polenta. Enjoy and feel proud of yourself for making something relatively healthy (or, at least, found a healthier alternative), in less than 10 minutes for less than $10.
If you have extra bacon, check out this yummy gluten free bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich!

5. Archives in Sri Lanka
archives of the Dutch administration of Ceylon have been preserved
in a fairly intact state. The bulk of these archives is made
up of the documents of the administrative bodies of the capital
Colombo. Only some smaller or larger fragments of the archives
of the subordinate establishments have survived. The archives
of the chief settlement in Colombo were described in an inventory
compiled in 1943(11).
Although not immediately apparent from the inventory, once
again the archives in Colombo present the picture of typical
establishment archives based on the correspondence with superiors
in the Dutch Republic or in Batavia, with alongside them the
resoluties with annexes and
dagregisters of the local
administration, and archives from the various subordinate
17th century filing cabinet
in the Dutch Period Museum in Colombo (click to
There is a large series of
resoluties with annexes of
the Governor and Council, with the companion series of secret
resoluties, and the resoluties
from special departments. Besides these, there are various
series of incoming and outgoing letters (ordinary, secret
and from the internal and military departments), which are
divided up into the categories patria
(fatherland) and Cape of Good Hope, Batavia, various subordinate
establishments, and other establishments in the octrooigebied.
What is remarkable is the absence of a series of dagregisters
from Colombo. These must have existed, seeing that parts of
them are enclosed in the overgekomen
brieven en papieren in the VOC
archives in the Netherlands. One chapter in the inventory,
'internal affairs', besides including all sorts of series
of documents referring to particular subjects, also contains
protocollen van civiele akten
and legislation. Another chapter, 'external affairs', not
only contains correspondence with other VOC
establishments (it is not clear why these were not put together
with the other correspondence), but also includes treaties
and correspondence with local authorities and representatives
of other European powers. As well as the archives of the Governor
and Council, there are also holdings from the hoofdadministrateur
(head of trade) and from the dessave
(district chief) of Colombo. The archives of the dessave
contains a rich collection of tombos
(sort of cadastral registers). There are also extensive archives
of the Raad van Justitie relating
to both civil and criminal actions, and of lower-ranking legal
bodies such as the landraad
(court of first instance) and the civiele
raad. Among the records of temporary governmental committees
and persons are the archives of the Geheime
Commissie (Secret Committee responsible for the conduct
of the war with Kandy 1762-1766), consisting of resoluties
and correspondence, and those of a few special committees
which were sent from the Netherlands.
Moreover, besides the state
archives there are yet other documents of Dutch origin. The
Wolvendaal Church in Colombo possesses the archives of the
Dutch parish there(12).
Besides the archives of the
chief establishment in Colombo, in the National Archives of
Sri Lanka there are considerable holdings from the subordinate
offices at Galle, Matara, Jaffna and Wanni. These holdings
are particularly important because such subordinate offices
had fewer direct relations with the central authorities in
Batavia and the Dutch Republic, so that there is less about
them to be found in the VOC
archives. There is a recent inventory of these holdings(13).
The Galle archives contain
the usual series of resoluties,
correspondence with the superiors in Colombo, Batavia and
the Dutch Republic, registers of wills, protocollen
van civiele akten of the secretaries, appointments
registers, reports of diplomatic missions, registers containing
instructions to local functionaries, dagregisters,
auction books and land registers. Besides these, there are
the archives of separate offices and committees such as those
of the negotieboekhouder (trade
accountant: which actually contains little about book-keeping
but a lot of administrative documents), of the tombo
committee (the main part of which is comprised of population
lists), and of the school board. There are also large archives
from the Raad van Justitie
in Galle and of the landraad
of the Galle district.
The archives of the district of
Madurai, then subordinate to Galle now in the Indian state
of Tamil Nadu, which have been preserved, mainly date from
the last period of the Company administration. These archives
contain both the holdings of the dessave
as well as that of the landraad.
As far as their composition goes they are similar to the archives
of Galle.
With the exception of a series
of tombos, the Jaffna
archives contain only a few fragments. The same is true for
the archives of the district administration of Wanni, only
a few fragments of which still remain.

Nice that the Bold Discount app makes discounts clear on the product page (not just at check-out). I still needed some help getting an old version correctly configured. Wow, Harpreet was incredibly patient and helpful. I had an old issue, he explained it clearly, waited until I experimented it with myself, and was generally a pleasure to work with. It can be confusing/wracking to work with these apps, but Harpreet made it easy. Would love to work with him again!
Nir was very well informed and tried to help me in everyway possible. was very patient with all my questions. and app is just amazing, i just wish once the product gets added to a certain discount group and if we try to add it again, it would give us a warning. nevertheless great app. i am loving it

It is fairly common to find your baby engaging in comfort sucking of his thumb or fingers, especially when drifting off to sleep. This habit needs to be managed if it persist after the age of 5 or 6, when the permanent teeth starts to erupt.
The constant presence of either the thumb or finger within the mouth creates an unnatural environment that has a tendency to push-out the erupting upper permanent incisor teeth and push-in the erupting lower permanent incisor teeth. The space occupied by the thumb or fingers will also prevent the erupting upper and lower incisor teeth from meeting, a condition known as an open bite. This in turn can affect the child's appearance, ability to chew and speech.
If you're at your wits end as to how to break your child's habit, try consulting your dentist. He/she would be able to provide you with a variety of solutions, such as the use of reminders and oral devices which are specifically designed to help your child stop the habit eventually. The good news is that early intervention is highly successful in reversing the developing anomaly, so stop it before it's too late!
The idiom 'nail biter or biting' is often employed to describe hairy situations depicting feelings of anxiousness or nervousness. This is because some people often find nibbling away on their fingernails under such circumstances to be somewhat comforting as well as helpful in dampening their feelings of anxiety.
After adolescence, nail biting is often perceived as being socially unacceptable and can be replaced with chewing of other hard objects such as pencils, hair clips or simply any items that are within easy reach. While such a habit may bring comfort to some extent, another problem is created.
Chronic nail biters may develop dental anomalies, especially at the region of the front teeth, whereby the incisor teeth experience accelerated wear at the edges, or become misaligned. The gum surrounding the affected teeth might become inflamed or even start to recede, especially when coupled with poor oral hygiene, If that is still not sufficient to deter this habit, knowing that the host of bacteria thriving under your fingernails or on the surface of objects that you chew on may lead to oral infections, should be quite the motivating factor to stop this habit!
Living in a food haven like Singapore, we are tempted everyday by visual feasts of freshly baked pastries, yummy treats or the hunger-inducing scent of food everywhere we go. As these treats tend to be loaded with fermentable sugars like sucrose or starch, not only are they a threat to our health and expanding waistline, they can be detrimental to our teeth too.
Every time our teeth is exposed to fermentable sugars or starch, dental plaque bacteria breaks them down and produces acid that dissolves away our tooth structure, ultimately resulting in a cavity or decay.
Studies have shown that dental decay is proportionate to the frequency of consumption rather than the amount of sugary treats being consumed. In other words, it means that you're much better off finishing your bag of cookies at one go or around mealtimes, rather than have it spread out over the course of the day. That is by no means an encouragement to go on a binge frenzy on that bag of sweet treats! Yes, moderation is key.
You may think that your healthy eating habits, such as choosing low fat or diet options and being able control that sweet tooth of yours would make you the perfect candidate for the Health Promotion Board's latest advertisement on healthy eating, but you can never be more mistaken! Now, brace yourself for the truth that you may actually be consuming way more sugar than you think and that's because sugar comes in many different guises, much of it being hidden in your favourite foods.
This includes that brand of ketchup that tastes so much better than the others on the market, to carbonated sports drinks, fruit juices, teething jellies for toddlers, syrup medications, lozenges, salad dressings, diet foods, breakfast cereals, sweetened dairy like chocolate milk, flavoured yoghurt and the list goes on. These foods are marketed as being healthy or healthier due to their high fiber, high calcium or low fat content but what's not being disclosed is the astonishing amount of hidden sugars in them too. Often low fat or diet options, sports drinks, flavoured dairy products and salad dressings etc. contain extra sugar in place of fat to improve their palatability. We're likely to overlook the amount of sugar in these products since they seem healthier and hence we unknowingly consume way more sugar than we think we are. Now perhaps you may want to investigate the real reason why that particular brand of ketchup miraculously tastes so much better than all the others!
There is a strong body of evidence supporting the link between smoking and oral diseases such as periodontitis (a severe form of gum disease that results in tooth loss), tooth discoloration, delayed healing (following extractions or surgery), oral cancers and the list goes on.
The defence mechanisms in the mouth, which normally works well in fighting against any insults to the oral mucosa, are altered and weakened by the various toxins in cigarettes, predisposing the individual to a myriad of oral diseases. This in turn can have many repercussions on an individual's ability for effective chewing, speech, appearance and oral health related quality of life. If the warning labels along with pictures depicting the multitude of detrimental effects from smoking is not convincing enough for you to kick this bad habit, hopefully knowing the association between smoking and poor oral health might make you think twice before lighting up.

I've been a bad, bad girl.
No, that's not meant to be sensationalist; but I'm currently in the process of committing the modern sin of "serious procrastination," for my 2-4 page paper on Susan Okin's essay "Philosopher Queens and Private Wives" is, sadly, still in the process of being written and/or started, and despite it being 10 p.m. where I am, I still can't muster the effort to really, really write out any part of this essay.
Granted, it's 2-4 pages, which means that I should be able to bang it out in a couple of hours, but as I just iterated, that just isn't happening.
Maybe it's because I'm tired, as I have been all weekend, or rather all week. I suppose I could brew some coffee or gulp down the ridiculously large serving cup of Mountain Dew currently resting on the living room table, but I woke up at 2 p.m. today after staying up until 4 a.m. watching "Parks and Recreation" with my roommates, and I haven't spent the rest of the weekend doing anything productive, unless you count live tweeting the Super Bowl productive, which is debatable, depending on your major/profession.
I've been dreaming strange dreams all weekend.
And while I wrote the one from Saturday morning down, all I remember from this morning's dream theatre is the sight of BMO from "Adventure Time"–
whom I've previously referred to as my "crack spirit guide," which is a "Girls" ref for those of you not in the loop
–walking out into a rain not unlike the one at the climactic moment of "Blade Runner," and when I woke up, all I could think of was the sentence, "Why were the robots out in the rain?" And no, I'm not trying to channel (at least, not consciously) Philip K. Dick here, but I've been thinking about the ramifications of being identified, both self- and by others, as a robot.
I realize that the designation is not meant to be an insult, especially since BMO is this cute little gender neutral video game contraption whose mannerisms and appearance are imbued with that derpy cuteness so associated with characters from Japanese animation. And yeah, I do play off of that association now, especially when my roommates make some appeal to my inner humanity and I flash them a deadpan expression and say, "What feelings?"
But that doesn't discount the fact that it's a little disturbing to be so closely associated with something that's not supposed to be human. Sure, BMO's cute, but it's a robot that says silly things and makes silly faces and is routinely underestimated by the people in the "Adventure Time" universe. BMO doesn't know what's up; BMO will never know what's up, and will be forever playing catch up to what it thinks being real is.
I understand the futility and fragility associated with trying to shake off associations, be they positive ones or negative ones (see: every Disney Channel starlet ever), so for a while now, I'd taken the BMO mantle and just ran with it. I am a little living boy!!! Oh, how clumsy of me to trip over nothing, and how cute of me to make funny little sounds when I stumble or cough or say anything!!!
But goddammit, when I start to buy into my own charade, when I try to run my life in series of calculations and estimations, when I separate myself from my very much present emotions,
it takes me out of who I am, or more specifically, who I want myself to be. And when I'm watching machines stand still out in the cold, sharp swell of dream world precipitation, I thank my lucky stars that I'm undoubtedly, earnestly and everything, human after all.

Inspired by the simplicity and romance of bistros, coupled with their travels, this wedding is full of personal details and focused on the simple things in life. Jenna and Ben fittingly got engaged on Love Lane in New York City. Their wedding day was one of the most emotional and love-filled weddings I've been a part of. From the intentional and incredibly personal ceremony and legacy table to the details and menu selection that reflected their relationship, it truly told their story.
They grew up and met in Iowa, then proceeded to travel to Paris and Wales before settling in New York City after graduation. From the day we first met and I saw the twinkle in Jenna's eye talking about the love she had in Ben, I knew that this would be a perfect fit and truly memorable affair. They wanted to incorporate the journey they had been on so far and honor their families that have supported them to get to where they are — to share their beautiful relationship and personalities with everyone in attendance on their special day.

Why did Wade Thompson's Family give $65 Million to a NYC Art Venue?/
If you're not familiar with Wade Thompson, maybe you'd recognize those shiny silver RV campers with "Airstream" branded across the side. Thompson made his fortune on those campers and established a family foundation to channel his charitable giving in the late 80s. Shortly thereafter, he began channeling money into New York's Park Avenue Armory, which was then falling apart, but had the potential to become a great performance space for music and art. He founded the Seventh Regiment Armory Conservancy to restore the armory and transform it into a world-class arts venue.
Thompson passed away from cancer in 2009, but his family is still committed to the armory—most recently to the tune of $65 million. Although the building is doing just fine now in a structural sense, this new grant money creates an arts program endowment and educational initiatives. Now the armory can begin commissioning even more works, and the structure will now be known as the Thompson Arts Center at Park Avenue Armory. Per the grant terms, that name will stick for at least 50 years.
"This is what Wade would have wanted," said the foundation's director Alan Siegel. "It was a remarkable thing he felt for that building, and it was a very important part of his life."
This major gift was a no-brainer for Thompson's heirs, given Thompson's unyielding support for the building and all that it represented. However, other giving priorities and grantmaking practices at the Thompson Family Foundation are less black and white.
Wade Thompson went through a 14-year battle with cancer before he died, and he spent his last decade supporting causes for early cancer prevention and cures. Aside from cancer-specific medical research and treatment, he was always a patron of the arts, as well as historic preservation and conservation. An avid contemporary art collector himself, he was a big supporter of the Central Park Conservatory, the Municipal Art Society, and the Mystic Seaport Museum. Regarding his favorite armory venue, Thompson's individual and foundation contributions now top $129 million.
Wade's wife, Angela, provided this statement:
Wade passionately believed that the Armory should be rescued as one of the country's most important landmarks and that with world class programming in its beautiful and dramatic spaces, it could become a cultural institution of global stature. Working with Elihu [Rose], Rebecca, and others, he fearlessly led the charge. He would be so pleased to see that the bold reinvigoration he set in motion is succeeding beyond his wildest dreams.
In May 2014, the Thompson Family Foundation reported over $545 million in assets and more than $24 million in total giving. Unfortunately for grantseekers, the foundation doesn't have a website and doesn't seem to accept unsolicited grant requests. The foundation is headquartered at 230 Park Avenue, Suite 1541 in New York City.

China is desperate to avoid a hard landing in the form of negative GDP growth. So far, we are a long way away from hitting rock bottom.
Even with today's growth numbers for the third quarter of 2014 coming out at 7.3 percent and therefore below the 7.5 target set by the regime this is not a hard landing—yet.
Unfortunately for China, however, Ernest Hemingway might see his words about bankruptcy ring true again. In "The Sun Also Rises," someone asks: "How did you go bankrupt?" To which the other person replies: "Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly."
As of this moment, China is slowing gradually, down from 12 percent in 2010 to the lowest rate since the financial crisis in 2009.
Real numbers, however, point to even lower growth. Bloomberg's estimate of Chinese GDP, consisting of data such as electricity consumption and cement production, estimates growth to be at 6.4 percent.
But why would growth slow even further, and how could China go bust? After all it owns more than $4 trillion in foreign exchange reserves.
To answer these questions, one has to understand that Chinese "miracle" growth was fueled by an unprecedented expansion of private, not public debt.
Goldman Sachs estimated total Chinese debt to GDP to reach 242 percent in 2014. That's $22.36 trillion for GDP of 2013. In a default case, foreign exchange assets of $4.4 trillion aren't going to be enough—and that's beside the technicality that they are foreign and can't be used to extinguished debts denominated in yuan.
Of course, there are numerous ways China can manage that debt, by printing more money for example. However, real growth will still decline because that debt has been "invested" in mostly unproductive ventures by the private sector. Of the 242 percentage points, 169 were racked up by the private sector mostly for unused houses and excess production capacity.
To illustrate, China now has 1,647 shipyards compared to 10 in South Korea and 15 in Japan. As for real estate, the amount of floor space under construction relative to floor space sold across 40 cities has increased from 3.4 times in 2007 to 5.8 times in 2013, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
This would all be ok, if the assets underpinning the debt actually earned a return. The beauty about this model is that new construction, whether it is shipyards or houses, shows up as GDP straight away. However, continuous production, GDP and return on investment needs a feasible project.
Empty houses and underutilized shipyards do not fit that bill. If the investments don't return a cash flow, the borrowers (mostly private enterprises) firstly won't have the money to repay the debt and secondly won't have the money to invest more in the future. Hence the decline in fixed asset investment growth by private enterprises from 35 percent in 2012 to below 20 percent in 2014.
As of this moment, most borrowers are just reducing investment activity and are still servicing their debt. However, we have seen the first defaults of private companies in China already at the beginning of the year. This process is called deleveraging. It entails getting rid of unproductive debt and unused assets, sometimes through bankruptcy, and starting over.
The longer the slump drags on, more companies will reduce investment and default on their debt. Then the whole deleveraging dynamic will change from gradually to suddenly very abruptly.

Hey there writers!
How have you been? Feel free to let me know by commenting and please do share the link to your latest blog post. Your fresh new written work, recipes, photographs, tips, any new thing you've just shared!
Last week I was suddenly struck with a bad cold and took some days out of WordPress and blogging. I've been stuffy and strangely unable to taste and smell. After sipping hot soups and having some stay-home stress down time, I've been getting better! Last night I was feeling strong in the spirit and in the physical after HopeNYC's weekly Prayer and Deliverance service. Right after the service, Compass cafe had a free giveaway! For one night only they were giving out FREE pecan bread pudding! It made my night and my numb taste buds went nuts over the pecans! This generous free sample was enough to try and enjoy! Thick and moist! Packed and not too petite! It's topped with a cinnamony sweetness and savory from the bread. You get that southern and homey feel in this dessert and thats a good feeling for New York! A place of processed, rushed, refrigerated, and instantly done foods. It was good for me too!
That was one of the highlights from my week, feel free to let me know how you're doing!

The University of Calgary has a Masters of Teaching program (which is not a Master's degree) but an undergraduate program for lecturers. Please don't give cash to a web based web site that guarantees GED testing and certification. Tuition for Liberty University packages is presently $565 per credit hour, ranking this system because the 16th most affordable school in our rankings. Special education is a particularly challenging discipline, as (even more than typical) each youngster may have their own particular individual wants.
If somebody just must know the necessities of something to fulfill skills, online is nice. Queens University of Charlotte solely gives a single on-line M.A. in training, nevertheless it's one of the affordable packages of those we surveyed. Law in Special Education course familiarizes the individuals with all the mandatory data required to make you a specialist regarding the regulation in special education.
On campus, pupil's performance might be assessed on the spot, not like with distance education colleges where college students have to attend for the tutor's suggestions whereas their works are being reviewed. Learn how instructional expertise can assist meet the needs of a diverse group of students and alter both the content and strategies of education. With an annual tuition of $6,333 per year, DSU gives beforehand certified educators the prospect to advance their information by completing the net Master of Science (M.S.) in Education Technology. I actually have discovered that online education takes an excessive amount of self-self-discipline to complete the lessons.
As logic would dictate, a grasp's degree in training gives an excellent foundation for changing into a instructor. Then why we should hassle going to college, spend thousands of dollars and get a degree which will likely be just hanging on the wall. During World War II, Duke was one in all 131 schools and schools broadly that partook in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which provided understudies a technique to a Navy commission. That is once I went for the MA in order that I could again work my up that wage schedule.
Unskilled laborers could be extra easily and cheaply replaced than a person who has a college education. Technology has turn out to be so essential in at this time's lecture rooms that there are complete degree applications devoted to creating new ways of together with know-how in one's teaching model. I do know that I had classes with individuals who transferred from different schools and so they claimed that the University of Phoenix is cheaper. I graduated from UOP in 2010, with a bachelors degree in enterprise administration.

Mike Sage knows his Riverside Poly golf team has the talent to exorcise its demons from the last two years and win a Southern Section title, but the coach doesn't have to look far to see it won't be easy.
Loaded with talent the last two seasons, Poly has fallen one stroke short of qualifying for the section finals twice, but with seniors Josh Wooding, Phil Telliard and Ian Hjulberg, Sage has high hopes.
"I don't think it's necessarily do or die," Sage said. "I don't want to put that kind of pressure on us."
Poly's top three players are headed for Division I colleges. Wooding, the defending Southern Section individual champion, has signed with USC, Telliard with Arizona State and Hjulberg with UC Riverside.

This looks so darn yummy.
I used to write my recipes down on any piece of scrap paper I could find; usually an envelope from an opened letter, or the letter itself if it was full of rubbish. It then ended up that I would have numerous scraps of food covered paper that I would leave about the flat until I got round to blogging them. This clearly annoyed Sam (not that he would ever say anything as he is too lovely), but he did always clear them away and then had the genius idea that I just got a notebook to write them in. How had I not thought about this before, surely it is just common sense!? Ha! Well, I now have a notebook and my whole blogging life feels a lot more organised.

George (Gerard Depardieu) and Bronte (Andie MacDowell) are as different as croissants and whole grain bread. They are precisely that different, as a matter of fact. Peter Weir's screenplay for his romantic comedy "Green Card" defines its French and American characters strictly in terms of national stereotypes, with a few plays on the word "green" thrown in for good measure. Still, "Green Card" is as breezily escapist as a film this facile can be.
The central ploy has an American botanist, who is eager to sublet a very special apartment that is conveniently unavailable to anyone single, agreeing to marry a complete stranger, a French musican wanting to work in the United States. Mr. Weir is smart enough to skip quickly past this part of the story, with only a sentence or two about the motives of all concerned.
Later, the film picks up its real momentum when the Immigration and Naturalization Service closes in. In order to avoid exposure and possible prosecution, George and Bronte must manufacture an instant marriage. Anyone who is uncertain about his or her spouse's favorite vegetable will find this alarming, since the film assumes married couples must know all sorts of minutiae about each other and have the happy-family Polaroids to prove it.
The film's charms are as picture-perfect as anything George and Bronte manage to manufacture. Ms. MacDowell, as the woman who makes this extraordinary deal in order to live in houseplant heaven (an enchanting set with an indoor fountain and solarium), is a lot more warmly appealing than that description may make her sound; she has a lovely, demure ease that makes George's appreciative gaze quite understandable. Mr. Depardieu, in the role that gets him into a New York Yankees cap, proves that he is nothing if not a sport.
Although Mr. Depardieu happens to be one of the world's most graceful screen actors, everything about his physical being argues otherwise. Bearish and barrel-shaped, with unkempt hair and a nose that cannot be made to look straight from any angle, he lumbers amiably through this film without making the slightest concession to garden-variety romance. He is able to accomplish more with a casual show of interest in Bronte's hairstyle, or with an off-handed Gallic remark like "If it amuses you then do it," than many a more insistent leading man could effect with conspicuously harder work.Continue reading the main story
This role, the actor's first major English-speaking one, has been custom-designed for Mr. Depardieu to the extent that it includes wisecracks about his weight (he accepts these with bemused indifference) and accommodates his general raffishness. Still, the language barrier makes him seem not quite himself, and not entirely anyone else either. He comes to life most fully when he lapses into French or is otherwise momentarily freed from the story's constraints. When George tells the fastidious, health-conscious, fun-denying Bronte that "all your ideas are from the same place," he inadvertently describes the film as a whole.
Among the more prettily scenic aspects of "Green Card" are its various leafy New York settings (part of the plot even revolves around Bronte's work in a neighborhood garden, and her efforts to obtain a donation of trees for this project). Also in the cast are Bebe Neuwirth as a predatory friend of Bronte's, Gregg Edelman as Bronte's humorless vegetarian beau, Jessie Keosian as a small, nosy neighbor, and Lois Smith and Conrad McLaren as the parents who gave all of their children literary names, perhaps suspecting that one of them would wind up in an airy high-concept comedy some day.
"Green Card" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes some sexual references.

Written and directed by Peter Weir; director of photography, Geoffrey Simpson; edited by William Anderson; music by Hans Zimmer; production designer, Wendy Stites; produced by Mr. Weir; released by Touchstone Pictures. Running time: 108 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.

Buble and a strong SNL
As for the musical guest, Michael Buble, he was a good straight-man in the duets commercial, non? I couldn't breathe when the Low Singer came on. And then Fred Armisen's Thom Yorke sent me over. To the point where I had to rewind it back because I missed everything that came after, only to pause again over Lady Gaga.
I played the whole thing back right before nap time yesterday and wondered to myself whether or not I would have enjoyed the show so much if it weren't this time of year. The truth is I've been Christmas programmed to not be such a bitch right now. I can't help it. Sometimes you have to give yourself over to Santa. And Mariah Carey.
"Jesus I'm so much better than youuuuuu!"
Here's Buble arriving back home in Vancouver for the holidays on Sunday afternoon.

On this page: What is a heading? | When to make a heading | Tagging headings
If the contents of a PDF are not tagged appropriately assistive technology users have no reliable means of navigation. Tagging text into paragraphs and headings as they appear on the physical page provides Assistive Technology (AT) users the same awareness sense of hierarchy or structure as visual users so they can more easily navigate the material.
Headings are especially important, as without headings PDF documents can be almost un-navigable, especially longer and more complex documents.
Why use headings?
Headings provide organization and structure. Imagine a document without a table of contents (TOC), all text at the same font size and arranged as a series of paragraphs. It would be necessary to skim each word just to locate a small bit of information, and frustration levels would be pretty high. This is the experience of an assistive technology user when confronted by a PDF file without consistent headings.
Although there are no requirements pertaining to headings in the existing Section 508 regulations, certain organizations such as the US Health and Human Services (HHS) administration require them for accessibility.
When should I create a heading tag?
The biggest question is not how but when text should be tagged as a heading. An obvious answer is "if it's bold and larger than other text," but this may not be correct in all cases because font style and document structural elements are not the same things. Headings serve a function; in accessibility terms, they provide a means of navigation to major portions of a document. Don't make all text with large or bold fonts into headings – it's important to use headings consistently and reflect the real structure of the document.
Headings serve to provide a title or announcement for the content that follows. Practical examples of headings include chapter and section titles of a document.
Headings must be used consistently and logically throughout the document. If a chapter title is set as Heading 1 <h1>, then all chapter titles in the document need to be set as a Heading 1. Because the chapter is a Heading 1, then the first major subsection of the chapter should be Heading 2. A jump from Heading 1 to Heading 3 should be avoided. The heading structure provides an outline of the content to AT users, so accordingly, the outline's hierarchy should be nested and descend without jumping levels.
Tagging Headings
There are three basic methods of tagging content as a heading, but the first step is to always select the relevant text runs. Then, do one of the following:
- Use <CTRL>+<1-6>. This keyboard shortcut will take the selected text and place it into a heading tag. The number you use determines the heading level. For example, <CTRL>+<2> will tag the text as an <H2> heading. Remember to reserve <H1> for the document title.
- On the Insert menu, click More. Select the correct heading level from the drop-down menu. If you are prompted for shared or individual parents, select shared to place all of the text runs into one heading tag.
- From the Add Heading menu in the toolbar, select the appropriate heading level. If you are prompted for shared or individual parents, select shared to place all of the text runs into one heading tag.
It's also possible that the text runs are grouped correctly into paragraphs and headings but the heading level is wrong. To change a tag, set the Selection tool to Exact. Select the tag.
There are three ways to convert a tag after it has been selected:
- Use <ALT>+<1-6> to convert it to a heading. (<ALT>+<7> will convert the tag to a paragraph).
- From the Edit menu, click Tag Converter. Select the correct heading from the list.
- Click the Properties tab located in the physical pane. Click in the Type field. Click the box that appears on the far right. Select the correct heading level.

Custom Site Templates
This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.
A custom template is a customization applied to a site or list definition. When a user with design rights customizes a Web site or list in the user interface or in a Web-editing application such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007, and then saves the Web site or list as a template, the custom template consists of the difference between the original state of the Web site or list as determined by its definition, and the state of the Web site or list at the time that the custom template is generated.
In some ways, some site templates continue to depend, throughout their lifecycle, on the site definition that is their ultimate foundation. For this reason, Microsoft does not support changing or removing a site definition after sites have been created from it. Such changes may cause sites created from the definition (or created from site templates that are based on the site definition) to stop working properly or may prevent the creation of new sites based directly, or indirectly, on the site definition. See also Working with Site Templates and Definitions for more on the relation of site templates to site definitions. For more information on what kind of customizations of site definitions are supported by Microsoft, see Supported and unsupported scenarios for working with custom site definitions and custom area definitions in Windows SharePoint Services, in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and in Office SharePoint Server 2007.
A custom template is persisted in the SharePoint database as a file with an .stp extension. The .stp file is stored in the Site Templates gallery or the List Templates gallery and includes one Manifest.xml file.
An .stp file is actually a .cab file. You can save a copy of the file from the Site (or List) Templates gallery, change the file extension from .stp to .cab and open the file in Windows Explorer.
List Templates
List templates contain the files, views, fields, Web Parts, and, optionally, the content that is associated with a list. Users create list templates on the Save as Template page for a list, or through code that uses the SaveAsTemplate method of the Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList class. When saved, list templates are stored in the List Template gallery of the top-level site in a site collection. They are available to all sites in the site collection that derive from the same site definition and language as the site on which the list was originally created. To make a list template available to a site in another site collection, download the template from its current gallery and then upload it to the gallery of the new site collection.
Site Templates
Site templates contain the same type of data as list templates, but site templates include data for the entire site. Like list templates, site templates may also include the content of the site.
Users create site templates on the Save Site as Template page, or through code that uses the SaveAsTemplate method of the Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb class. When saved, site templates are stored in the Site Template gallery of the top-level site in a site collection, where they become available for subsite creation on all Web sites in the site collection.
Similar to list templates, site templates can be downloaded and moved to other site collection galleries. Unlike list templates, however, site templates can also be moved into the Central Site Template gallery, where they become available for top-level site creation in Self-Service Site Creation in addition to subsite creation.
To add a site template to the gallery from the command prompt
Download the site template from the gallery.
Run stsadm.exe -o addtemplate -filename Template_File_Name -title Template_Title [-description Template_Description] at the command prompt from the \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN directory.
Reset Internet Information Services (IIS) by typing iisreset at the command prompt.
Site templates can include list templates. When a top-level site is saved as a template with content, it includes any list templates that are in the List Template gallery of the site collection.

Home / TESOL Videos / TESOL Videos - Overview of All English Tenses - Present Tenses - Present Simple - Teaching Ideas
Here's a teaching idea that focuses on two very specific aspects of the present simple tense, one of which will be making statements about a habit and a routine. The other will be conjugating the verb into the 'he', 'she' or 'it' form. Here we'll present students with a picture. They will see various objects in the picture. Based upon the presence of these objects in someone's room, the students will have to make an observation such as 'She drinks coffee,' 'She plays the guitar,' 'She watches television,' 'She doesn't smoke.' Again, it's very specific used for the 'he', 'she' or 'it' form and habits and routines. At the end of the activity, the teacher will have the pairs or the small groups report back their various findings. Another idea for the present simple tense will be the classic '20 questions'. The teacher could frame this into the context of 'What's my job?' 'Who am I?' or even 'What am I?' for objects. In order to set this activity up, the teacher will ask a student to come to the front of the room and the teacher will give him or her a card. For jobs, the card will obviously have jobs such as doctor or architect or even teacher. From that, the students will have to ask questions to find out the person's job. These typical questions might be 'Do you work Monday through Friday?' 'Do you work in an office?' 'Do you work with people?' The student at the front of the room will also be answering with present simple short answers 'Yes, I do.' 'No, I don't.' The teacher will give a time limit for each student at the front of the room, perhaps two minutes. At the end of those two minutes, the students in the room will be asking 'Are you a doctor?' 'Are you an architect?' or even 'Are you a teacher?' hopefully by the end of those two minutes, based upon the information given, the students will be able to guess what that job was. The same can also be done for famous people. 'Who am I?' Of course that famous person would still have to be alive, as, have they passed away, we would speak about them in the past tense. You can also use it for objects as well.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
To manage the class the teacher uses eyes, voice and gesture. Eyes - for holding the attention, to show that something is correct and to give the anchorage. Voice - for use the language at the level you are teaching and to speak more slowly and carefully. Gesture - for reducing TTT, convey meaning, to add visual interest and increase or decrease changing the space of the class. We group the class by 3 ways: whole class, individuals and pair work. The positive points of the whole class are: + give a sense of belonging, + always for whole group interaction, + good for control. The negative points are : - can reduce STT, - can be 'off putting' - difficult to manage the activities. For individuals the + points are: + allow the teacher to respond to individuals, + allows the students to become more self reliant. The - points are: - little chance of student to student interaction, - creates more pressure to produce their answers. For pair work the positive points are: + increases STT, + create safer environment . And - points are: - may not 'get on' with their partner. To use the names of students helps (by putting the end of question): - organize the class - to acknowledge - to indicate who should respond To arrange the class is depends on the following: - age of student, - physical space, - material available, - students personality. There are several forms to arrange the cl

Disclaimer: I didn't just go to Yosemite. This was 2011.
However, I needed to get this into the archives because it was such a beautiful trip, and one that I really do recommend people get a chance to see. For those of us in the Midwest, sometimes we forget that there are so many beautiful things located right here in the "Good Old US of A", and Yosemite is one of them. Pristinely protected, with gigantic redwoods, wildlife, and enough hiking trails to satisfy even the most seasoned veteran. Get there, if you haven't.
