Woman Found Not Guilty in Williamstown Hit-and-Run
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A Williamstown woman was found not guilty on Wednesday of leaving the scene of a hit-and-run that has left a local woman in a coma for two years.
But she and her husband were both found guilty of misleading police in the days following the incident that seriously injured Cheryl J. LeClaire, 54, of White Oaks Road in Williamstown. They were found not guilty of conspiracy to mislead.
A Superior Court jury deliberated for eight hours before returning the verdicts in the cases against Sally J. Gould, 73, the driver in the incident, and her husband, John T. Gould, 71.
LeClaire was walking her dog on the evening of Feb. 9, 2016, along North Hoosac Road in Williamstown. A passing motorist found her lying in the road, unresponsive, at about 6:30 p.m. She was taken to Berkshire Medical Center with severe head trauma. Her dog was unharmed.
Police investigators believed that LeClaire had been struck or brushed by a passing vehicle but there was little physical evidence at the scene and no witnesses. Some automotive materials led police to look for a Honda CRV with front-end damage.
The Goulds were arrested two weeks later and charged with misleading police in their investigation and conspiracy to mislead a police officer. Sally Gould was also charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident.
The charges were based on actions taken by the Goulds to repair their 2014 Honda CRV, including replacing a windshield. Defensive attorneys argued that the sport utility vehicle being parked outside during this time and John Gould's willingness to speak to police showed there was no attempt to cover anything up. However, authorities said the Goulds gave inconsistent statements and told them the damage had occurred in a parking lot collision.
Judge John Agostini released both Goulds on personal recognizance pending sentencing on March 26 at 2 p.m.
Pellet Stove Sparks Fire at Readsboro Inn
"The fire blew through the side of the building, it ran up the roof rafters and down the other side and through the whole attic," said Fire Chief Adam Codogni.
BJ Gamache, who has an apartment in the building, said later that it was a guest at the inn who went outside around 2 and saw the smoke, then began banging on apartment doors to wake everyone.
Gamache said he called 911 and the owners, then grabbed fire extinguishers.
"So I climbed out the window on the third floor onto a ladder that is attached to the building and started spraying the fire flames with the fire extinguishers from outside," he wrote on a Facebook post on the story. "I used five of them to get flames out that I could see before the Fire Department made it here. I had to keep running downstairs to grab more of them."
The guest remained with him to help out while Gamache battled the blaze.
"To be honest it all happened so fast and the only thing I was thinking was not letting Marcia [Evans] and Vince [Guest], the owners, lose their building," he said. "My place to live and my job."
Codogni and the first crew of firefighters arrived with minutes and the decision was made to start pulling down the interior walls to get to the fire.
"We were lucky to have a good crew tonight just to get that initial attack," the chief said. "We had interior firefighters to get up there and hit it.
"If it was really roaring, we would have been in big trouble."
A second alarm was called at 2:30 a.m. and mutual aid had begun to pour in from the surrounding communities: Monroe, Halifax, Stamford and Whitingham arrived, as well as Massachusetts companies from Charlemont, Clarksburg, Colrain, Heath and Rowe. North Adams sent its ladder truck and North Adams Ambulance Service sent an ambulance and its rehab trailer.
The conditions were poor as snow had been falling for a couple hours by the time the fire was reported and the roads to the mountain town were getting slick. The Florida Fire Department had also tried to send a truck but it reportedly went off the road.
The inn dates back to the late 19th century and hosted a number of businesses until being turned into an inn and popular restaurant in the 1930s. The original structure is connected to a much larger later building that holds a tavern. The property is currently on the market and is listed as having four apartments and seven inn rooms.
Not all the rooms were occupied and everyone was safely evacuated.
It took about two hours to contain the fire. The third floor was damaged by fire and the efforts to contain it and the second floor has some water damage. The first floor, which has the restaurant, appeared to have escaped any damage.
Owner Marcia Evans said there was no one in the apartment with the pellet stove. The stoves have been running because of the cold and prior problems with pipes freezing.
"The bar is OK. I don't know if there'll be power to the restaurant but I'm planning to go forward with it," she said.
Efforts were being made to get the power back on to the newer builder and it was believed at least the restaurant in the inn could be powered up. Green Mountain Power had disconnected the electricity.
The inn is a landmark on the town's main street, which is also Route 100. In addition to the attached structure, there's a house directly across a small avenue and a house behind it.
"Anything to do with this building could turn out bad, especially with the amount of people living in it," Codogni said, adding he was thankful for the turnout by mutual aid. "This is a tough night to get everybody together."
It was almost 4:30 when the scene began to clear.
"I love the Readsboro Fire Department, they were right on it," she said. "Right on it."
Updated on March 13 to clarify who first reacted to the fire.
Missing Williamstown Woman Located
UPDATE: At a little after 9 a.m. Friday morning, Williamstown Police Chief Kyle Johnson reported Ms. Coll had been located and is alert and conscious.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Wllliamstown Police are asking for help in finding Marilyn Coll, 84, who was last seen Wednesday evening around 5 p.m. on Stone Hill Road.
Anyone with information, please call Williamstown Police at 413-458-5733.
Searching has resumed in this area Friday morning, according to a post on the department's Facebook page.
Gasoline Smell Brings Williamstown Fire Department to College Dorm
Fire Chief Craig Pedercini said the smell appeared to be related to the use of gasoline by a contractor working on a steam line replacement project on West Lawn, to the west of Morgan Hall, a 100-bed residence hall at the corner of Spring and Main Streets that currently is not occupied.
After evaluating the situation for nearly two hours, Pedercini said there was no fire or health issue, but the Fire Department and college were employing fans to push the odor out of Morgan Hall and prevent it from infiltrating nearby West College, a 45-room Main Street dorm to the west of the steam tunnel replacement work.
The report was called in to the fire station at about 5:55 on Thursday evening.
"The first arriving officers investigated and found they did have an odor of gasoline in the building," Pedercini said.
"What we're finding out now is that the contractor was doing some work, and there was a need to use Styrofoam as part of it, and, apparently, a need to remove the Styrofoam. And they used gasoline, it sounds like, to dissolve the Styrofoam away from the pipe. The odor is just lingering in that hole and that steam vault."
Pedercini said he did not believe that it was standard practice to use gasoline that manner.
"No," he said. "I would say no. There will be more looked into that part, but it's not kosher to me at all."
All of the gasoline use was outside the building, in the hole dug for the steam tunnel project, Pedercini said.
"You can see where they were using it," he said. "The vapors will hang in that ditch and find a nook or a crack or if there's a pipe running [into the building] and there's a little space round it, the vapors will seep through."
There were a half-dozen people in Morgan Hall when the alarm sounded. The building was cleared by the time firefighters arrived, Pedercini said.
"It's not full of kids yet," he said. "It's kind of nice that if it's going to happen, it happen now.
"It's unfortunate, but I think it's a poor practice [to use gasoline in that manner]. I'll be investigating it, and I'm sure the college will want to know why they were doing it."
Williamstown, North Adams Police Seek Reports of Stolen Jewelry
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Police are asking area residents to report recent losses of jewelry that may be connected to a North Adams woman who was arraigned on Wednesday.
Jessica Morgan, 30, of Gregory Avenue, was arraigned in Northern Berkshire District Court on one count of larceny over $250, Williamstown Police reported on Wednesday.
"On July 3, 2017, a Williamstown resident contacted the police department to report a significant amount of jewelry missing from her residence," the police news release read. "A subsequent investigation revealed that Morgan worked as a home health care worker in this home. It was later determined that jewelry matching the same description was pawned by Morgan.
"Unfortunately, a significant amount of the jewelry was later transferred and melted down prior to it being discovered missing."
Williamstown Police questioned Morgan in connection with the case, police said.
"This investigation prompted the report of similar larcenies from other area residences where Morgan worked," the police news release read. "A large amount of jewelry and property remain missing. The [Williamstown Police Department] is seeking public assistance with any additional reports or information regarding Jessica Morgan or missing or found jewelry."
Police ask anyone with information to contact either Sgt. Scott McGowan of the Williamstown Police at 413-458-5733 or Officer Josh Zustra of the North Adams Police at 413-664-4944.
"At this time, the investigation is continuing and at the conclusion, further criminal charges will be filed," McGowan said on Wednesday. "The majority of these crimes appear to be from April through July of 2017. However, I am also looking back as far as January of 2015."

In late 2013, the Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort teamed up with Southern Cross University to investigate the island's aquifer, which we believe plays an important role in supporting the island's vegetation, and supporting the teeming marine life in the waters around the island. We know that trees such as the island's iconic pisonia are able to survive extended dry spells by putting down roots that tap into the aquifer. Research carried out in recent years has led to the realisation that a coral cay's aquifer is a large reservoir of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), regularly recharged by seabird poo, and that the aquifer drip-feeds the nutrients to the surrounding marine waters. This may well explain the long standing mystery of why islands like Lady Elliot Island support host such incredible marine biodiversity, when the oceans around the island are known to be nutrient poor.
We wanted to better understand the Lady Elliot Island aquifer, and by early 2014 we had managed to drill six boreholes around the island, finding the aquifer at a depth of 3 to 4 m. Coral is hard, so the drilling work took a lot of effort and ingenuity by the resort's maintenance people, with especially big applause for Laurie Marsden and Kendall Steers.
What have we found so far? Well, this past summer has seen the island experience one of the longest dry spells ever recorded by the weather station, which was established in 1939, but incredibly we still found a thin layer of fresh water on the surface of the aquifer in the middle of the island. And laboratory analyses of borehole samples confirmed that the aquifer indeed is a reservoir for nutrients – it holds something like 30 tonnes of nitrogen in the form of nitrate – hardly surprising when you remember that the island was strip-mined for guano in the late 1880s. We estimate that seabird poo provides the aquifer with some 10 to 20 tonnes a year of nitrogen, and of course what goes into the aquifer has to come out. The way this happens is fascinating. Coral is very porous and very permeable, and the regular rise and fall of the tide around the island act to pump the nutrients out of the aquifer. Seawater enters the island at high tide, mixes with the aquifer, and when the seawater drains out of the island at low tide it brings nutrients with it. This is known as tidal pumping, and is one of several mechanisms that help to drip feed the nutrients to the waters surrounding the island.
Where to now? Well, we're planning a lot of follow-on work, including a geophysical survey of the island to map out the groundwater resource, studies using naturally occurring groundwater tracers (e.g. radon) to better understand the drip-feed processes, nitrogen isotope studies to quantify the nutrient cycle, and we'd also like to develop a computer model of the aquifer that will help us to understand how it responds to tides and to recharge by rainfall. How much fun is this going to be?
Steve Carter, Dirk Erler, Peter Gash, Jess Miller, Laurie Marsden, and Kendall Steers.
A water level probe measures the depth to the aquifer. In the middle of the island, the aquifer rises and falls by about 30 cm in response to the tides around the island.

Clinical trials are studies that evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs or treatment strategies. The development of more effective cancer treatments requires that new and innovative therapies be evaluated with cancer patients. In oncology, clinical trials are especially important because, in the absence of high cure rates, nearly all therapeutic approaches are developmental in nature. All new cancer drugs that are currently available in the United States were once only available in clinical trials. Patients should decide whether or not participation in a clinical trial is an appropriate treatment option as early in their evaluation as possible because, once treatment of their cancer has been initiated, patients may become ineligible to participate in some clinical trials.

rsc necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 172 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
I am Randall S. Condit, MD. Mostly out of curiosity I made a career change from medical practice to creative writing, only to discover an interest in the field of career and calling itself. I founded PhysicianCareerConsult.com to help other physicians and physicians-in-training with strategic career decisions.
I have a passion for helping anyone find satisfaction in his or her work, but I am targeting the niche of physicians since that is my background. The fact that I offer consultation "doctor to doctor" is the relatively unique feature of my business, and I want to capitalize on that--if not in the logo, at least in other website content.
Physicians may face career change for several reasons. They may be losing the fire they had when they applied for medical school, or plans for retirement are now on hold due to financial pressure. Many need help brainstorming their options of making changes in their present practice, finding a nonclinical setting, or perhaps a new nonmedical career.
Physicians-in-training (medical students) choose a specialty or non-specialty training track before they even complete medical school. Early guidance can help them avoid having to change programs later.
Primary requirement: a creative logo that would be appealing to medical professionals. I want this logo to be the starting point for a new website, which I hope to produce using Rapidweaver software on my Mac. I will be attempting to give my website a clean, straightforward overall appearance, probably tending toward black and white with a pleasing use of contrast; however, don't be afraid to use color for the logo.
Perhaps a simple logo image associated with physicians, such as a stethoscope or a "doctor bag." (I know none of you are even thinking of the Mercedes symbol, right now. I drive an old Toyota truck--thanks for humoring me.)
The face-to-face consultation process itself brings to mind two people conversing. Is this too complicated for a logo? Perhaps this idea is better suited to a separate image. Again, I am trying to think of how to emphasis the "doctor to doctor" idea.
By the way, the term "consult" in my brand name is how physicians refer to a consultation. Used in this way, it's a noun: "Order a consult. . . . Do a consult. . . . Consider getting a consult." A doctor who orders a consult is sending the patient for another opinion, but usually expects the patient back for ongoing care. That's what I'll be offering my clients: up-front strategy to help them find work satisfaction.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Kris Cambron earned her second consecutive scoring game on Friday as she netted one on Georgia Southern for her second goal of the season to kickstart Tech in their 2-0 victory over the Eagles.
True to form, the Golden Eagles struck in the second half of the contest, pacing Georgia Southern in the first half of the game, getting off eight shots to the Eagles seven. However Cambron, the returning sophomore and Ohio Valley Conference Co-Freshman of the Year from 2009, found the back of the net on a long shot into the upper right corner in the 59th minute of the game on a pass from senior Brooke Mayo.
Freshman forward Taylor Hicks capped off the scoring for Tech with a goal just ten minutes later on a shot from 25 yards out. Jacquie Watkins was credited with the assist on the play.
Both teams finished the contest with 13 shots as 10 Golden Eagle players contributed kicks on the day.
Once again, freshman keeper Becca Toler went the distance for Tech, notching four saves in her 90 minutes of play. Georgia Southern goalie Katie Merson logged five saves.
Friday's win marks an evening of the series score between TTU and Georgia Southern, as each team has earned one win between the two meetings.
Tech will head into Sunday's matchup against Samford with an improved record of 2-4, while Georgia Southern falls to a 2-3 record on the season.
The Golden Eagles will meet the Bulldogs after one day of rest, when they take the field Sunday at 2 p.m. for a showdown with the tournament host team.

The home country's dominance of the 23rd World Walking Cup came full circle when Olga Kaniskina reigned supreme in the women's 20k from start to finish.
The only downturn for the World champion in Osaka was the single second that denied her country of their third World record of the weekend.
Kaniskina strained for the line, no doubt aware that anything under 1:25:41 would net her an extra $50,000 to go with the first prize of $30,000, but heartbreakingly stopped the clock just a heartbeat beyond the magical time.
But, if she needs any consolation, it must surely be that on this form she needs to work at only two-thirds of the effort she put in here when it comes to the Olympics, and a hat-trick of global titles in under 12 months will surely be hers.
From the gun, four Russian walkers were out to prove what statistics already showed – they were the fastest in the field, and if all things remained equal, they would claim the top spots with some ease.
But what often adds to the sport of Race Walking is the unknown factor of judges' decisions.
One of the four, Anisa Kirdyapkina, was shown the dreaded red disc after 10k, and World silver medallist Tatyana Shemyakina called it a day after dropping away from the leaders before 5km.
It left just three Russians in the race, with the only one on the home nation team not to go with the early charge battling for the bronze medal after the turnabout in events.
Lyudmila Arkhipova was chasing Vera Santos, who had come out of the group to take up third spot.
However, the Portuguese was having the race of her life, and living up to team-mate Susana Feitor's prediction at the IAAF Press Conference on Friday (9) that her countrywomen would be there or thereabouts when it came to the team medals.
At the sharp end there was suddenly danger that Russia's team hopes were about to evaporate like the mist on the ornamental fountains surrounding the course.
Up to that point, Tatyana Sibileva had stuck to Kaniskina like glue, but with two red cards to her name just after 12k, she either wisely dropped off the pace or was unable to compete with the relentless speed of the leader.
Either way the gap came to Russia's aid, and silver was as guaranteed as Kaniskina's gold.
But it needed a last lap sprint for Santos to power home ahead of Arkhipova, with the Portuguese head bowed into a slight wind determined to hang on to her first major medal.
Spaniard Maria Vasco is an old hand at coming from behind, and the World champion bronze medallist showed her pace judgment on a day where the temperatures rose to 22 celsius to claim fifth.
Olive Loughnane had used up eight of her nine lives on the DQ board, but like Sibileva, the Irishwoman rewrote her own PB to dip under 90:00 for the first time with 1:29:17.
There's also no denying Jane Saville when it comes to major medal walks.
The Australian Olympic bronze medalist may be 33, but she gutted out a last tough 5k to come home in seventh.
In the team race Sibileva's survival saw Russia claim every single team gold in the five races at the weekend to make the country's national anthem a very familiar tune over the two days of competition.
But it was also refreshing to see Portugal on the podium.
Feitor was telling the truth when she saw her team ready to medal, and the colour was silver thanks to three sub-90:00 performances from Santos, Feitor herself and newcomer Ana Cabechina in 89:39.
Neighbours Spain, ever-perennial medalists, took the cue from Vasco's performance to win bronze.

She has Chris Kreider first, Christian Thomas second and Tim Erixon third.

On Christian Thomas, Treff says "Thomas will need to get much stronger to play in the NHL. If he accomplishes this without compromising his speed, Thomas has the potential to be a first line player."
The fan rankings that I compiled a few weeks back had Chris Kreider, Tim Erixon and Christian Thomas at the top three. I look at Treff's top three and see someone who is extremely high on Christian Thomas. I also look at Ryan McDonagh, who isn't a prospect anymore, being ranked behind Tim Erixon as a showing of the player that Erixon can be. I also love that Jesper Fasth took such a big leap up in the rankings.
Part of me sees JT Miller taking over the number two spot in the spring edition....

Communicating Effectively with Your Children
Notice and think about how you communicate with your children on a daily basis. 'Talking at' your child and 'talking with' your child are two very different things – rather like 'laughing at' or 'laughing with' someone. Here are some tips for improving your communication with your children:
Ask open-ended questions. An open-ended question needs a descriptive answer. Open-ended questions typically begin with interrogative words – how, what, when, who and where. Open-ended questions help a child develop his or her thought processes.
Listen to your tone of voice. Pay attention over the next week to how you say things to your children. If you don't like how you're saying things, change your tone. Have you ever heard your child admonishing another with your exact words and tone? Scary, isn't it?
Make eye contact. If your message is important, deliver it while keeping eye contact. Maintain eye contact when you listen to your child's reply, showing that you're really engaged with them.
Repeat back what your children say. Doing so shows them that you really understand them and are taking the time to listen. Paraphrase and summarise the gist of what your kids have said rather than repeating them parrot-fashion.

Primary source
Primary sources are original materials that have not been altered or distorted in any way.[1] In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called original source or evidence) is an artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. Similar definitions are used in library science, and other areas of scholarship, although different fields have somewhat different definitions.[2] In journalism, a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document written by such a person.
Primary sources are distinguished from secondary sources, which cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources. Generally, accounts written after the fact with the benefit of hindsight are secondary.[3] A secondary source may also be a primary source depending on how it is used.[4] For example, a memoir would be considered a primary source in research concerning its author or about his or her friends characterized within it, but the same memoir would be a secondary source if it were used to examine the culture in which its author lived.[5] "Primary" and "secondary" should be understood as relative terms, with sources categorized according to specific historical contexts and what is being studied.[6]:118–246[7]

The significance of source classification
History and historiography
In scholarly writing, an important objective of classifying sources is to determine their independence and reliability.[7] In contexts such as historical writing, it is almost always advisable to use primary sources and that "if none are available, it is only with great caution that [the author] may proceed to make use of secondary sources."[8] Sreedharan believes that primary sources have the most direct connection to the past and that they "speak for themselves" in ways that cannot be captured through the filter of secondary sources.[9]
Other fields
In scholarly writing, the objective of classifying sources is to determine the independence and reliability of sources.[7] Though the terms primary source and secondary source originated in historiography as a way to trace the history of historical ideas, they have been applied to many other fields. For example, these ideas may be used to trace the history of scientific theories, literary elements and other information that is passed from one author to another.
In scientific literature, a primary source is the original publication of a scientist's new data, results and theories. In political history, primary sources are documents such as official reports, speeches, pamphlets, posters, or letters by participants, official election returns and eyewitness accounts. In the history of ideas or intellectual history, the main primary sources are books, essays and letters written by intellectuals; these intellectuals may include historians, whose books and essays are therefore considered primary sources for the intellectual historian, though they are secondary sources in their own topical fields. In religious history, the primary sources are religious texts and descriptions of religious ceremonies and rituals.[10]
A study of cultural history could include fictional sources such as novels or plays. In a broader sense primary sources also include artifacts like photographs, newsreels, coins, paintings or buildings created at the time. Historians may also take archaeological artifacts and oral reports and interviews into consideration. Written sources may be divided into three types.[11]
- Narrative sources or literary sources tell a story or message. They are not limited to fictional sources (which can be sources of information for contemporary attitudes) but include diaries, films, biographies, leading philosophical works and scientific works.
- Diplomatic sources include charters and other legal documents which usually follow a set format.
- Social documents are records created by organizations, such as registers of births and tax records.
In historiography, when the study of history is subject to historical scrutiny, a secondary source becomes a primary source. For a biography of a historian, that historian's publications would be primary sources. Documentary films can be considered a secondary source or primary source, depending on how much the filmmaker modifies the original sources.[12]
The Lafayette College Library, provides a synopsis of primary sources in several areas of study:
"The definition of a primary source varies depending upon the academic discipline and the context in which it is used.
- In the humanities, a primary source could be defined as something that was created either during the time period being studied or afterward by individuals reflecting on their involvement in the events of that time.
- In the social sciences, the definition of a primary source would be expanded to include numerical data that has been gathered to analyze relationships between people, events, and their environment.
- In the natural sciences, a primary source could be defined as a report of original findings or ideas. These sources often appear in the form of research articles with sections on methods and results."[13]
Finding primary sources
Although many documents that are primary sources remain in private hands, the usual location for them is an archive. These can be public or private. Documents relating to one area are usually spread over a large number of different archives. These can be distant from the original source of the document. For example, the Huntington Library in California houses a large number of documents from the United Kingdom.
In the US, digital copies of primary sources can be retrieved from a number of places. The Library of Congress maintains several online Digital Collections where they can be retrieved. Examples of these are American Memory and the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC). The National Archives and Records Administration also has such a tool, called Access to Archival Databases (AAD).
In the UK, the National Archives provides a consolidated search of its own catalogue and a wide variety of other archives listed on the Access to Archives index. Digital copies of various classes of documents at the National Archives (including wills) are available from DocumentsOnline. Most of the available documents relate to England and Wales. Some digital copies of primary sources are available from the National Archives of Scotland. Many County Record Offices collections are included in Access to Archives, while others have their own on-line catalogues. Many County Record Offices will supply digital copies of documents.
Using primary sources
History as an academic discipline is based on primary sources, as evaluated by the community of scholars, who report their findings in books, articles and papers. Arthur Marwick says "Primary sources are absolutely fundamental to history."[14] Ideally, a historian will use all available primary sources that were created by the people involved at the time being studied. In practice some sources have been destroyed, while others are not available for research. Perhaps the only eyewitness reports of an event may be memoirs, autobiographies, or oral interviews taken years later. Sometimes the only evidence relating to an event or person in the distant past was written or copied decades or centuries later. Manuscripts that are sources for classical texts can be copies of documents, or fragments of copies of documents. This is a common problem in classical studies, where sometimes only a summary of a book or letter has survived. Potential difficulties with primary sources have the result that history is usually taught in schools using secondary sources.
Historians studying the modern period with the intention of publishing an academic article prefer to go back to available primary sources and to seek new (in other words, forgotten or lost) ones. Primary sources, whether accurate or not, offer new input into historical questions and most modern history revolves around heavy use of archives and special collections for the purpose of finding useful primary sources. A work on history is not likely to be taken seriously as scholarship if it only cites secondary sources, as it does not indicate that original research has been done.[6]
However, primary sources – particularly those from before the 20th century – may have hidden challenges. "Primary sources, in fact, are usually fragmentary, ambiguous and very difficult to analyse and interpret."[14] Obsolete meanings of familiar words and social context are among the traps that await the newcomer to historical studies. For this reason, the interpretation of primary texts is typically taught as part of an advanced college or postgraduate history course, although advanced self-study or informal training is also possible.
The following questions are asked about primary sources:
- What is the tone?
- Who is the intended audience?
- What is the purpose of the publication?
- What assumptions does the author make?
- What are the bases of the author's conclusions?
- Does the author agree or disagree with other authors of the subject?
- Does the content agree with what you know or have learned about the issue?
- Where was the source made? (questions of systemic bias)
Strengths and weaknesses of primary sources
In many fields and contexts, such as historical writing, it is almost always advisable to use primary sources if possible, and that "if none are available, it is only with great caution that [the author] may proceed to make use of secondary sources."[8] In addition, primary sources avoid the problem inherent in secondary sources, where each new author may distort and put their own spin on the findings of prior cited authors.[15]
"A history, whose author draws conclusions from other than primary sources or secondary sources actually based on primary sources, is by definition fiction and not history at all."— Kameron Searle
However, a primary source is not necessarily more of an authority or better than a secondary source. There can be bias and tacit unconscious views which twist historical information.
"Original material may be ... prejudiced, or at least not exactly what it claims to be."— David Iredale[16]
These errors may be corrected in secondary sources, which are often subjected to peer review, can be well documented, and are often written by historians working in institutions where methodological accuracy is important to the future of the author's career and reputation. Historians consider the accuracy and objectiveness of the primary sources they are using and historians subject both primary and secondary sources to a high level of scrutiny. A primary source such as a journal entry (or the online version, a blog), at best, may only reflect one individual's opinion on events, which may or may not be truthful, accurate, or complete.
Participants and eyewitnesses may misunderstand events or distort their reports (deliberately or unconsciously) to enhance their own image or importance. Such effects can increase over time, as people create a narrative that may not be accurate.[17] For any source, primary or secondary, it is important for the researcher to evaluate the amount and direction of bias.[18] As an example, a government report may be an accurate and unbiased description of events, but it can be censored or altered for propaganda or cover-up purposes. The facts can be distorted to present the opposing sides in a negative light. Barristers are taught that evidence in a court case may be truthful, but it may be distorted to support (or oppose) the position of one of the parties.
Classifying sources
Many sources can be considered either primary or secondary, depending on the context in which they are examined.[7] Moreover, the distinction between primary and secondary sources is subjective and contextual,[19] so that precise definitions are difficult to make.[20] A book review, when it contains the opinion of the reviewer about the book rather than a summary of the book, becomes a primary source.[21][22]
If a historical text discusses old documents to derive a new historical conclusion, it is considered to be a primary source for the new conclusion. Examples in which a source can be both primary and secondary include an obituary[23] or a survey of several volumes of a journal counting the frequency of articles on a certain topic.[23]
Whether a source is regarded as primary or secondary in a given context may change, depending upon the present state of knowledge within the field.[24] For example, if a document refers to the contents of a previous but undiscovered letter, that document may be considered "primary", since it is the closest known thing to an original source; but if the letter is later found, it may then be considered "secondary"[25]
In some instances, the reason for identifying a text as the "primary source" may devolve from the fact that no copy of the original source material exists, or that it is the oldest extant source for the information cited.[26]
Historians must occasionally contend with forged documents that purport to be primary sources. These forgeries have usually been constructed with a fraudulent purpose, such as promulgating legal rights, supporting false pedigrees, or promoting particular interpretations of historic events. The investigation of documents to determine their authenticity is called diplomatics.

Amarok Developer Sprint - Looking Back At A Rocking Weekend
Since we began seriously working on Amarok 2 more than two years ago, Amarok has come a very long way. Looking back at screenshots of some of the very early incarnations of Amarok 2 can be almost frightening, and it is clear that Amarok 2 has changed much since then. While the Amarok 2.0 release was in no way perfect, it was more importantly a solid foundation to work on, and Amarok 2.1 is already shaping up to be a much more well rounded music manager.
Given the sheer amount of work that has gone into Amarok 2, and the pace at which development has progressed, it is only natural that not all design decisions, APIs and code are in optimal shape after 2 years. So to take a step back, take a deep breath, look at the big picture, review API's and draw up the big picture plans for the future GUI and features of Amarok 2, we descended upon the KDAB offices in Berlin for the first official Amarok developer sprint.
Topics covered at the sprint included API reviews of central parts of Amarok, discussions on PR and marketing and the big "how to improve the Amarok 2 UI and usability" discussion.
The ultimate goal of the meeting was to focus on the needs of the users and the core essentials of a music player. After 4 days at the generously offered KDAB offices, we feel the results were a resounding success. Several goals have been set for both the short and the long term. Changes in both functionality and look will be introduced in subtle increments to lead Amarok to places one could only dream of. Beginning from 2.1.0, users will begin to see the fruit of the sprint and as early as 2.2 several significant design improvements will be integrated.
This entire developer sprint, along with the resulting code, ideas, and plans could not have been achieved without the help of many contributors. For this reason we would like to send out some big thanks to:
We look forward to your reactions and feedback on the soon to be released 2.1.
please more info !
Great news !
Thanks for your great work !

For Amarok 2.1.0 the changes
For Amarok 2.1.0 the changes are all pretty much in place (a few suggestions from the sprint have managed to sneak in though. you can see the changelog for 2.1.0 beta 1 and the upcoming 2.1.0 Beta 2 (which might become rc1 depending on whether we manage to fix a particularly nasty bug before we tag it) here: http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/Chang...
For 2.1.1 a bunch of minor changes discussed at the sprint, which are slightly more time consuming or that require string changes (which we cannot do for 2.1.0 as we are deep in string freeze) will be implemented, along with general bugfixes. We don't have any concrete plans for 2.1.2 yet, but likely this will be a pure bugfix release.
For 2.2.0 we already have quite a few things in store, like the audiocd collection (http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/1001-From-the-Post-2.1.0-Git-Vaults,...) and many other cool features that are sitting in developers local git branches until trunk opens up for 2.2 development. For 2.2 we will also start implementing some of the larger items decided on at the sprint, many of them relating to the overall look at fell of Amarok.
The exact list of things discussed at the sprint is on our wiki, I am not going to post a direct link as it is really intended mainly for developers and not for public discussion (we will likely present some of the ideas in a format more suitable for gathering feedback later) but if your really want to find it, it should not be that hard! ;-)
By Nikolaj Hald Nielsen at Fri, 2009/05/08 - 8:32am
Thank you
Well done and a big thank you for all your hard work!
I use Amarok every day as it's a real pleasure to use.
Music brings me joy and Amarok helps deliver that joy to my ears.
By Peter Dewitt at Sun, 2009/05/10 - 8:49pm
Needs of the users
"The ultimate goal of the meeting was to focus on the needs of the users and the core essentials of a music player."
So please fix Amarok 1.4 database import. Upgrading from a previous version (which is the bulk of all Amarok2 users I would imagine) is kinda basic. Please fix it!

Yasso 800s: My tumultuous love affair with speed work continues
Today I told myself "You ran a marathon 3 days ago. Just run consistent times so you can get through all 10 rounds of 800 meters". I also told myself to not think of writing the times on the blog and to just think of completing it. Well, I'm going to write them anyway, of course. They may not be very fast, but they are consistent and I am thus pleased.
800 meters=2 x around a track = 1/2 mile (okay .497 miles)
1. 3:01
2. 2:59
3. 2:59
4. 2:58
5. 2:57
---- pee break---
6. 2:56
7. 2:57
8. 2:58
9. 2:58
10. 2:56
1:30 break between each.
It's a fun workout. It is hardly worth mentioning that Bart Yasso believed that the average of these times predicts your marathon time in hours. I discussed this very same topic last year. And, of course, I can't run a marathon in under 3 hours. So I'm not a believer in it for predicting. But it is a fun way to get speedwork.
I listened to the same song every single time so I would know how I was doing based on where I was in the song. Much more fun than staring at my Garmin. Especially since it fit my tempo perfectly:
It was "Collector" by Here We Go Magic
Tonight I am off to a running get together with some of the participants of the 24 hour relay this weekend. We are doing an hour of practice running on the 2,700 meter hilly loop in the woods of Holte, which will be used for the race.
Here's the video for "Collector" :)

Wow those are awesome! I don't think they're a great predictor either but they are indeed a great workout. And I met Bart Yasso and he's a cool dude. Me, I prefer 400s the best.
I think you should only switch blog platforms if I can "follow" it and know when you've posted a new entry :-)

- SteveQ said...
That's amazingly even splits!
The Yasso workout is meant to have even time running to time resting and you cut that in half.
I think you could break 3:00 (but don't go asking for a training plan!)
- 1 June 2010 at 17:19
- olga said...
I, too, am mostly happy with how consistent these splits are. Wonderfully done! much better than a span of your mile splits:) As for prediction, it does work if the rest of the training falls in: tempos at certain pace, marathon pace runs, long runs hill workouts. Try MP for 10-12 miles in the middle of a 20M run. I am sure SR knows the drill:)
And, oh, I have no opinion on moving the website. I declined all of those simply because I am lazy and don't like to stand out. I don't advertize much for the same reason, whether my services or my sponsors. I just go out and run, and when so inclined, blubber on the computer:)
- 1 June 2010 at 17:45
Hej Tracy.
Glæder mig til at høre hvordan det gik i Holte til aften. Jeg kunne desværre ikke deltage selv idag. Hvordan er ruten?
Vi ses på lørdag.Jeg vil være der ca 11.00.

- cherelli said...
hey SLG those are some very consistent times, nice work. To answer your question my camera is just a little Canon Powershot SD1200...I've been experimenting with its features in the hope that maybe one day I'll upgrade to a digital SLR ...one day....
- 2 June 2010 at 05:38
- sea legs girl said...
Wow. Did you actually talk to BY?
Agree totally with your "follow" comment. And I'd have to be able to follow your and my other faves and I'm not sure that would be possible. I'll pose that question.
Steve, well I suppose I could just follow Piccola's training plan rather than directly asking you. Lately, I've turned into my own coach, which makes me happier, but may make me slower :(. The moment I start thinking I'm slowing down, I'll have to ask my coach for forgiveness.
Olga, I am so happy your are happy! Thanks also for the advice. I have never done hill workouts. And I don't know what an MP is, so I'll ask SR. And I feel quite the same about my blog and have no interest in making money because then I think the writing would be affected as I felt obliged to cover certain topics or endorse certain things.
Vi savnede dig! Jeg sender dig lige in mail fordi vi skal diskutere strategi :). Jeg kommer også kl. 11.
Cherelli, you are good! I have had a digital SLR for 5 years now and I took great pics with a Nikkor lens, but then that broke and now I have a Tamarak lens (from my dad) and the pictures just aren't as good. Anyway, you certainly do wonders with what you have! When you DO get an SLR, get at Nikkor lens... trust me!

Yeah, so?
That's what I always think in my head when I hear about the Yasso 800s, his last name is probably not even pronounced that way.
Strangely you are following the steveq marathon plan, at least this week. The Yasso 800s were scheduled for today only I woke up with a cold and didn't get them done. Maybe tomorrow. It'll actually be my first time ever doing the Yasso work-out.
Are you ever going to spill the beans about which website contacted you?

p.s. can you do me a favour and browse to karagoucher.org? when I try I get a msg saying "users from your country are not permitted to browse this site" which seems very odd. I am wondering if this is an Italian thing or a European thing (or just a problem at my end)

Great job on the Yassos. I think I might have to try that one, although I'm not telling my times.
Are you still looking for book chapters? I realize the deadline was now some time ago.

ok. I can't believe I am opening this can of worms again but here goes: had things gone right at Copenhagen i.e. proper hydrating & eating the day before, no vomiting, no chocking due to pressure and expectations, there is NO DOUBT in my mind you could have broken 3:20 and probably run close to 3:15. Why am I bringing this up again? I did the Yeah, So? 800 m work-out today. I will save my detailed thoughts about the Yasso work-out for a post I am writing BUT in brief, my feeling is the Yasso work-out predicts to within 15 minutes of one's marathon time (and I am being conservative there) - so that's a 3:13. Then, let's look at your 1/2 marathon and let's take the 1:33 time (which is probably 2 minutes slow). The MOST conservative formulas say double your 1/2 time and add 10 minutes - that's a 3:16 right there. Now the Yasso & 1/2 marathon predictors probably don't work well for a 5 km/10 km runner who is adding in a few long runs to call it a marathon but you are coming from the ultra end of the spectrum and therefore should hold even more true for you.
Yeah? So? what's my point? Ok. well, if setting a target race and gearing your training to it is not enjoyable for you then you absolutely shouldn't do it. Ultimately running is a hobby for you and as such, pleasure should be the most important outcome. So I am not advocating that you put yourself on the line again. I just wanted to share my reflections during 10 X 800 m this morning with you.

Thanks, Amy! I hope you found my comment on your blog :).
Piccola, I love the fact that you keep thinking about it and keep encouraging me. I think my marathon problem is this: I have two running modes: one which is fast for up to the half marathon distance and one which is slow for ultras and I need to develop that in-between tempo for a marathon. It will just take training. I think the solution is longer intervals, but I'm not my coach.

|Louise and Lewis Brown
About 1942, Still Newlyweds
As I posted previously, my maternal grandfather Lewis Brown married Louise Long on 27 Feb 1940. That date didn't seem wrong until I found Lewis and Louise living in separate homes during the 1940 US Census.
Lewis was living with his widowed mother. He was a truck driver for a retail bakery.
|Family Search, 1940 United States Census, Record for Lewis Brown.
Louise was living with her sister Marguerite Frohnauer who was married to Frank and had a one-year-old named Barbara. Both of her parents had died prior to 1940. Louise was working as a clerk for a retail store.
|Family Search, 1940 United States Census, Record for Louise Long
The date of the US Census was April 1, 1940. The fact that my grandparents were married in February and then not in the same home in April bugged me. My grandparents adored each other throughout their life. Did they get off to a rocky start, saying they were single just a few months later?
After looking at their marriage license and certificate, the situation became perfectly clear.
|Partial scan of the original document
Marriage Record of Lewis Brown and Louise Long
A simple mistake was being perpetuated. The couple married on 27 February 1941, not 1940. They were in the homes they were supposed to be found on 1 April 1940. They still may have had a 'rocky' start to their marriage, but according to census records and marriage certificates, there is no evidence to that fact. I'm so glad. (Oh, and my sweet aunt confirmed the fact after the first post was published. More sources, more strength to the argument?)
It just goes to show that one must check and recheck facts to determine accuracy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After two tumultuous years of budget brinkmanship, President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress finally agree on something — namely, that a previous 10-year pact to cut $1 trillion across the board was such a bad idea it must be stopped before it starts.
If consensus counts as good news in an era of divided government, consider this: They also disagree vehemently on a suitable replacement.
As a result, they seem likely to spend the spring and perhaps a good part of the summer struggling to escape a bind of their own making. This time, Medicare and the rest of the government's benefit programs are likely to face changes.
Already, the two sides are laying down markers.
Obama on Tuesday called on Congress to join him in developing a replacement for the across-the-board reductions, "a balanced mix of spending cuts and more tax reform."
"We can't just cut our way to prosperity," he told reporters at the White House.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had a different view. "If Democrats have ideas for smarter cuts, they should bring them up for debate," he said, noting that the GOP-controlled House already has produced an alternative.
"But the American people will not support more tax hikes in place of the meaningful spending reductions both parties already agreed to and the president signed into law," McConnell said, a reference to legislation earlier this year that raised taxes at upper incomes by $600 billion.
Majority Republicans in the House welcome the debate after calculating that their leverage with Obama would increase once he asked lawmakers for repeal of the across-the-board cuts.
"We've passed a bill twice to replace" them, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday. "It's time for the president and Senate Democrats to do their job" without higher taxes, he added.
In fact, the across-the-board reductions themselves were born almost of desperation, designed to be so unpalatable that they would force members of a 2011 congressional "supercommittee" to agree on a sweeping anti-deficit plan rather than let them take effect.
The panel deadlocked. The cuts have been delayed by two months but are set to kick in on March 1, with $483 billion cut from defense over a decade and roughly the same out of a variety of domestic programs. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits are untouched.
The cuts — known in Washington-speak as a "sequester" — have not gotten any more popular in the intervening months.
"President Obama proposed the sequester, insisted the sequester become law and then doubled down on keeping the sequester in place," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington asserted Tuesday. She was one of numerous Republicans to do so.
Few if any political leaders care to defend the automatic cuts, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday they would slow economic growth if they take effect.
The nation's top uniformed officials warned lawmakers recently of dire consequences from even one year's allotment of cuts planned for the Pentagon. "We will have to ground aircraft, return ships to port and stop driving combat vehicles in training," members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote to Congress.
A group of liberal House Democrats wants to replace across-the-board cuts with nearly $1 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, at the same time calling for changes to earlier deficit deals they opposed. The effect would be a "fair, balanced approach that protects working families," they said.
But both groups stayed away from the core reason that Obama and Republicans are at odds. In deficit deal-making to date that totals $3.6 trillion over a decade, the government's costly benefit programs — Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security among them — have been largely untouched.
Both Obama and congressional Republicans have backed suggested savings from Medicare and even Social Security in earlier rounds of talks but, for a variety of reasons, omitted them from the final deals.
Now they're back, at the center of the debate.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama made a point of saying that proposals he had made late last year in talks with Boehner "are still very much on the table."
"I've offered sensible reforms to Medicare and other entitlements, and my health care proposals achieve the same amount of savings by the beginning of the next decade as the reforms that have been proposed by" a bipartisan commission, the president said.
Among them is a measure to slow the annual rise in benefits under Social Security and a variety of other government programs — an approach many congressional Democrats have opposed and like to use as a weapon against Republicans when they suggest it.
McConnell's office noted that the Senate's top Republican leader proposed "more than $100 billion in bipartisan spending reductions" in last winter's talks, some related to Medicare. All were rejected by the administration, the statement added, including a $30 billion item that tracked a proposal Obama had advanced requiring wealthier Medicare beneficiaries to pay more for their care.

An AP News Analysis


text:
If you are an experienced programmer, you can likely skip reading this. This is targeted towards new programmers who, as eager as they are to program the worlds best OS or desktop search app (spaghetti code baby), disregard the basics.
Is this tutorial really necessary?
-Yes. A quick scan through posts on this site will provide numerous examples of code that are just absolutely impossible to read, either because they look like control of the tab key was delegated to a squirrel coming off a three day sugar binge, there is enough whitespace between lines to comfortably hold the Titanic, or they just forgot to communicate through comments what they were trying to do in a particular block of code, and possibly forgot themselves.
Do I really have to worry about readability? I mean, it's just a homework assignment/personal project? -Absolutely. Always bear in mind that no matter what you're writing, someone will probably be reading it eventually. Whether that is you, because you want to reuse the code or you're fixing a bug that magically appeared once you thought you were finished, or a teacher, or your peers both IRL and on coding forums like this. And especially if you want the world to see that you are 'totally teh most awesomest programmer in the world!!1!', it will help if they understand your code. It is hard to be impressed by something which you don't understand or can't read (or can't be BOTHERED to read).
Having (hopefully) made the case for readability, on we go:
Part 1 - Indentation:
If you know where to find the tab key on your keyboard, skip this paragraph. If you don't (and some people don't), you will in a minute. Look on the far left side of your keyboard. There is a key right above the Caps Lock key that should say something like "Tab", "->|", "|<- ->|" or some combination thereof. This is the tab key. Tapping this key will quickly add a predefined number of spaces in whatever you're writing (occasionally it's used for navigation, but that's a different tut).
Now you need to understand the other easy part of proper indentation: The Block. A block is a very easy thing. It's the code that is contained between an opening brace "{" and a closing brace "}". For example:
public static void main(String[] args) { //THIS IS A BLOCK //THIS IS A BLOCK //THIS IS A BLOCK } public void whatNot() { //THIS IS A BLOCK //THIS IS A BLOCK for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { //THIS IS ANOTHER BLOCK INSIDE THE FIRST if(x == 5) { //THIS IS A THIRD BLOCK. } //THIS ENDS THE THIRD BLOCK } //THIS ENDS THE SECOND BLOCK } //AND THIS ENDS THE FIRST BLOCK
Note: Your tab key is the easiest to use for this, but if you feel it indents too far, feel free to substitute it with a few taps on the space bar. If you do though, always use the same number of spaces instead of one tab. So if you're using three spaces instead of one tab, and you should be indenting two tabs, you would use six spaces.
Now, on to indenting. When to indent is the easiest part of this whole thing. Start with zero indentation. Left justified. Smack against the left side of the screen. Then, for every opened block, you should be indenting one more unit (tab or a # of spaces). For every closed block, you should indent one less unit. Ex:
//start on the left side, no indents public class Whatever { /*You just opened a block, so everything from here to when you close the block needs to have at least one unit of indentation. */ public static void main(String[] args) { /*You just opened another block, so you add one more unit to however many you were previously indenting by. (Method declarations will almost always be indented by only one.)*/ for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { /*You've opened a third block, so you should be indenting three units. */ System.out.println(i); } /*You've closed the third block now, so we're back to using two units. */ x += 5; y = x; } /*That closes the second block, so now back down to indenting one. */ public void whatNot() { } }
Generally, the closing brace with which you close a block shares the same indentation as the line where you opened the block with an opening brace.
Part 2 - Line Breaks:
Single line breaks: These are generated by tapping the enter key. You know how to use these.
Double line breaks: These can be used to separate parts of your code that are logically different, or are not related to the part that immediately comes before it.
Think back to paragraph spacing in English class. Generally, a new train of thought belongs in a new paragraph.
For example, the main code of a method should be separated from the variable declarations of that method by double line breaks. Methods should have two line breaks between them.
You do not need to use double line breaks after the opening brace of a method or before the closing brace, however it's not really frowned upon either, so it comes down to a matter of personal taste.
Triple line breaks: These could be used on a rare occasion when you NEED to indicate an extreme logical separation between one bit of code and another, but for the most part, DO NOT USE THEM.
Four line breaks or more: No, no, NO! But what about...? No. But I need to...? Definitely not.
public class Whatever { //double break to separate method from class public static void main(String[] args) { int a = 1; int b = 2; int c = 0; //actual code is logically different from variable declarations c = a+b; System.out.println(a + "+" + b + "="); } //double space between methods public void whatNot() { } }
Part 3 - Comments:
Comments are created thusly: to create a single line comment, use "//". Everything on the line following that symbol will be shown and treated as a comment.
If your comments need to take more than one line, you can either use multiple single-line comments, or sandwich your comment between "/*" and "*/". Again, everything between those is shown and treated as a comment.
//This is a single-line comment. /*This is a multiple-line comment.*/ /*So *is *this.*/
If the purpose of a bit of code is NOT immediately obvious, it probably should be commented. Keep your comments on point, use good English (or whatever language is used by your probable readers), and keep it brief.
Also, on a larger scale, it is sometimes helpful to comment a method or a larger section of code and explain briefly what you are trying to accomplish with it.
If the purpose of a line of code is immediately obvious (i.e.: a variable declaration) you do not need to comment it. However, you may wish to do so if you want to explain what that variable will be used for.
Comments should PREFACE what they explain, meaning they should be before it. A single line break should be used between a comment and the code it explains.
Your code should be looking better if you follow these guidelines. One last thing though. If you update or revise your code, do it neatly and cleanly. Floating fragments of code long since departed do nothing to improve the appearance of your program.

Student or Learner
Some one who has influenced my life
Good teachers are rare. I think that I can feel them from the first time .one of the most teachers I have ever meet in my life is miss .Shemaa El Gzery , she was working as English teacher in the Arab academy where we meet 3 years ago . She is quit tall person with a black skin, short curly hair, in her late twentys. Her imaginative personality effect on her student especially on me as I was one of her student that time .her love to English appears in her way of teaching, using her clearly voice, body language and every new way of teaching to grabs her student attention.
Her friendly way has an important role to make everyone not only love her but also loved what she taught. She was dreamy person one how has influenced my life. I remember that one day I was afraid of studying language, and when I tend to study it because my job requires that. Then I meet her after three levels of general English I was compelled to take them. She made me feel like language is not a monster and I should not afraid from something and I should have face may fears. I wish I can meet her again or teach me again one day.

10 x 25 shooters w/fins @ :40
Main Sets:
10 x 25 burst dolphin kick + cruise @ 1:00
10 x (25 AFAP from dive or block, rolling on :59 + 75 EZ) @ 3:00
2 fly (12 high)
4 back (12 high)*
2 breast (16s)
2 free (12 flatish)
* Experimented with a different start in back. Lately, I've been flat backing a lot of my starts. Not enough back arch or toe flick or something. Today, I tried leaning back further ala Coughlin or Noriko. This causes me to go deeper, but I had a cleaner entry for 3/4 starts. Though I think this might work better with a throwing your arms straight back kind of start. Mine go to the side (see blog avatar). Also, with a deeper start, I need to be more careful about kicking up to the surface on time to not blast past 15 m. Not really sure which way is actually faster ...
2 x (broken AFAP 100 w/fins + 200 EZ)
-- break :10 @ 50 & 75
-- fly, :49
-- breast, :56
-- wanted to do another but was engaged in a long convo by a lifeguard
Kick ultra:
30 x 25 burst + cruise dolphin kick on back w/fins @ :30, cruised #16
-- wanted to do some parachute work, but had to get home to Lil Fort.
Total: 4100
I wasn't at all tired from yesterday's AFAP efforts, so went for my 4th HIT workout of the week. The ultra kick set seemed to take forever. Not sure if I'll do a recovery swim this weekend or go to Mason Sunday am with Teen Fort.
My elbow doesn't feel too badly from yesterday's jab. The doc said it would hurt 2-3 days and then feel much better. It kept me up some last night, but even now feels better than before. No healing, but less pain.

National Youth Leadership Training
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|NYLT patch
This patch is worn underneath the position of responsibility
patch by youth who have completed NYLT training.
National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops or teams and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others. Completing this course also allows Boy Scouts to wear the Trained patch under a position of responsibility patch, instead of the NYLT patch, while serving in a non-adult position of responsibility.
For many years, junior leader training (JLT) was an important part of the leadership training continuum of BSA local councils throughout America. In 2003 and 2004, a task force of leadership experts and hundreds of Scouts in pilot courses across the nation reviewed and tested every aspect of the new NYLT syllabus, which incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital and meaningful training for today's Scouts.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.
Built on the legacy of past JLT successes, the new NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
NAYLE - National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience
The new National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) is an exciting new program where young men enhance their leadership skills in the Philmont Backcountry. Scouts will expand upon the team building and ethical decision making skills learned in National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT). NAYLE uses elements of the Philmont Ranger Training as well as advanced Search and Rescue skills to teach leadership, teamwork and the lessons of selfless service. NAYLE will offer Scouts an unforgettable backcountry wilderness experience where they live leadership and teamwork, using the core elements of NYLT to make their leadership skills intuitive.
