Six ways to exploit the "atheist bus" in class « Six Things
"It's another one of what the Spanish would call a "noticia insólita" (which means unusual news, but it sounds better in Spanish!): the atheist advertising campaign on London buses that is spreading to other cities. This is one of those things that just can't be ignored. As soon as I saw the video on the news and the reactions it was provoking I started getting ideas on how it could be used to spark discussion in class. Six ideas, actually.
1. Play "Guess the word". Write on the board the following: There's probably no ______. Now stop worrying and enjoy your _____. Ask students to suggest different words that could go in the slots. At the end, once the words have been guessed or you tell them ask them what they think of the quote. Then explain the backstory.
2. Focus on word order. Give the following words jumbled up in two groups. no there's God probably / stop enjoy and worrying life now your. Ask the students to form two grammatically correct sentences. Accept all grammatically correct sentences. Then ask them what they think of the quote. Explain the backstory, or give it to them to read.
3. Teach adverbs. Use the sample sentence to focus on adverbs like probably (sometimes called adverbs of certainty). The others"
Ad Campaigns in Buses... Start Walking
There're also been some atheist buses here in Spain, and some catholic ones in response to those... Is it time to start walking more?

WHAT'S SHAKESPEARE EVER DONE FOR US? Educate Online: UK Education News & Reviews
"The 'STAND UP FOR SHAKESPEARE'
26 – 30 January 2009
The Royal Shakespeare Company invites every Primary and Secondary school across the country to take part in a national Stand up for Shakespeare Assemblies Week from 26 - 30 January 2009 to explore and debate the importance of Shakespeare.
Schools will be able to download specially created assembly toolkits from the RSC's Stand up for Shakespeare website www.rsc.org.uk/standupforshakespeare which tackle the questions 'What Shakespeare Has Done for Us' and ask 'Why Do We Still Study Shakespeare?' and will receive a short film of young people enjoying Shakespeare at schools with interviews and messages of support from RSC actors including Judi Dench, Patrick Stewart, Tamsin Greig, Michelle Gomez and David Tennant."

Google Certified Teacher
"K-12 Educators Put New Google Resource Center to the Test
We've been hearing stories from classrooms across the US where teachers at all grade levels are using Google products to bring assignments to life, shine light on new sources of information, and encourage sharing and collaboration. What we also heard loud and clear was teachers' desire for more information about our products and more connections to other educators who are using the web creatively. That's why we've launched a set of resources for K-12 educators today at www.google.com/educators.
A teacher in Virginia uses Picasa with his students to create picture collages of famous Americans. At a school in California, teachers use Google Calendar to schedule events and reserve resources such as the computer lab and projectors. One teacher in Chicago has her students practice graphing data using Google Earth, the spreadsheets in Google Docs & Spreadsheets, and earthquake data from the U.S. Geological Survey. And students across the country completing their English homework on the word processor in Google Docs & Spreadsheets will always be able to find that assignment, no matter what computer they're working on.
At the new site, you'll find teachers' guides for 12 Google products, including basic information about each tool, examples of how educators across the country are using them, and lesson ideas. The featured product"
5 Most Embarrassing Writing Mistakes

How to Write a Five-Paragraph Essay
"An essay is a literary composition that expresses a certain idea, claim, or concept and backs it up with supporting statements. It will follow a logical pattern, to include an introductory paragraph (make the claim), a body (support), and a conclusion (summary of statements and support).
English and Literature teachers use them on a regular basis, but essays are also a test tool used commonly in the social sciences, and even in math and science class.
Of course, essays play a big role in the college application process, as well. In short, there's just no avoiding essays, as long as you're in school!
Luckily, you can learn to craft a great essay if you can follow the standard pattern and write in a clear and organized manner.
The introduction is the first paragraph in your essay, and it should accomplish a few specific goals.
1. Capture the reader's interest
It's a good idea to start your essay with a really interesting statement, in order to pique the reader's interest."
Bendable Grammar Rules
"You might be surprised to learn how much language changes over time. One of my favorite shows is The Adventure of English. It's a series that presents the history of English much like a biography. It is fascinating to see how the rules of English grammar changed over time. There's a lot of drama in this journey, believe it or not!
Then again, some old habits die hard, and some grammar teachers cling to rules they learned in their grammar school days. Recently, I read a newly-published grammar book with a very catchy title. I thought it would be pretty up-to-date in its views, but I was wrong. I was surprised to see the old grammar myth:
"Never end a sentence with a preposition."
"The author went on to name all the prepositions with which one should never end a sentence. With was one. I sure hope your English teachers aren't actually subtracting points for this.
Another stubborn rule is the split infinitive principle. Sure, your writing would be pretty ugly and awkward if you started to brazenly split infinitives on a regular basis. But an occasional infraction can be quite lovely. Just look at the examples provided by the Guide to Grammar.
But that's not all. The Grammar Guide also advises that the old rule about starting a sentence with and or but is perfectly bendable."

25 Tools You Should Have
Research Note Cards - Taking Research Notes
"Your research note cards should include all the information necessary to write your term paper. You should take extreme care as you create these note cards.
1. Start with a fresh pack of research note cards. Large, lined cards are probably best, especially if you want to make your own detailed personal notes. Also consider color coding your cards by topic to keep your paper organized from the start.
2. Devote an entire note card to each idea or note. Don't try to fit two sources (quotes and notes) on one card. No sharing space!
3. Gather more than you need. Use the library and the Internet to find potential sources for your research paper. You should continue to research until you have quite a few potential sources—about three times as many as your teacher recommends.
4. Narrow down your sources. As you read your potential sources, you will find that some are helpful, others are not, and some will repeat the same information you already have. This is how you narrow your list down to include the most solid sources.
5. Record as you go. From each source, write down any notes or quotes that could be useful in your paper. As you take notes, try to paraphrase all information. This reduces the chances of committing accidental plagiarism."
Blog to Learn: The Lexical Evolution
"Humans have been using a language to communicate for a long time. What started as non-verbal body language and gestures were later complemented by the existence of symbols to convey messages. Hieroglyphics were used by the Egyptians before 4,000BC to document religious scriptures. These symbols were later replaced by the Roman (also called the Latin) alphabet which we all know of - the letters A to Z. These letters are used to form what we call words. Just how many words are there now? The Concise Oxford English Dictionary (11th Edition) Revised 2008 contains over 200,000 words. That's a lot! Come to think of it, we use only a fraction of the number of words in any dictionary in our writings and daily conversations."
High Schoolers Take Online Classes During Bus Commute
"Some rural high schoolers have been learning in an unusual way: by taking online classes during their time-consuming bus commutes.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
'The project, known as the Aspirnaut Initiative, gives some high-performing students laptops or video iPods and sets them up with online courses and educational videos during their long bus rides to and from school -- a round trip that often starts before dawn and ends after dark.
A number of participants have dropped out, unable to focus on studying as the bus bumps along gravel roads. But for [some] students...the Aspirnaut Initiative has opened new worlds.'
This is certainly an unorthodox atmosphere for online learning, and not all students can be expected to thrive amidst the distractions. But, for those who have the concentration and self-discipline necessary to make online learning work during the long ride to school, the program has huge benefits."

"A look at how staff combat plagiarism in schools, colleges and universities, following the rise of the internet and the cut and paste generation.
A schools plagiarism workshop shows the difficulty in defining and responding to plagiarism in schools, and students at the University of Leeds attend a compulsory study skills module to help boost their understanding of plagiarism.
At Ripon Grammar School, North Yorkshire, staff help students develop independent research skills using the internet in unexpected subjects such as PE and biology.
Hemsworth Arts and Community College, Pontefract, teaches a Harvard style referencing system and uses a plagiarism policy to demonstrate the small steps that can provide pupils with the awareness they need in internet research."

Toilet, Lavatory, Loo...
"It's the end of an era at the Times. No, they are not moving the leader page again, it's more seismic than that. 'It is time, so to speak, for a relaxation of our style,' writes the paper's Richard Dixon in an email to staff. 'So henceforth lavatory can now be used interchangeably with toilet. Reserve the use of loo for informal contexts. This moves us on, so to speak, from the thinking described in A Passionate Man by Joanna Trollope: 'At least the children are told how to hold their knives properly and get walloped if they call the lavatory the toilet.'' The importance of this change cannot be overestimated, and should keep the Times letter page in business for days. 'Toilet is probably now the first-choice polite word of the majority in Britain,' continues Dixon. 'While lavatory and loo remain the preserve of the chatterati.' Vox populi, vox toiletries."

CCSSO Teacher of the Year 2008
"The National Teacher of the Year Program, a project of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), focuses public attention on teaching excellence and is the oldest and most prestigious awards program for teachers.
To help celebrate the amazing group of teachers from across the United States honored by this program, the Pearson Foundation hosts the Teachers of the Year in New York City—a visit that includes the opportunity for teachers to script, compose, and create their own personal video with the help of the Pearson Foundation' s Digital Arts Alliance representatives.
The resulting personal films, each entitled "Why I Teach," show why these exemplary teachers were honored by their students, by their states, and by the CCSSO National Teacher of the Year Program.
Congratulations to them all."
Top 10 Reasons to Become a Teacher
"Teaching is a special calling. It is not a job well-suited to everyone. In fact, many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 years of teaching. However, there are many rewards that come with this oft maligned career. Here are my top ten reasons why teaching can be a great profession.
1. Student Potential
Unfortunately, not every student will succeed in your class. However, this fact should not keep you from believing that every student has the potential for success. This potential is so exciting - each new year presents new challenges and new potential successes."
Robert Burns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Burns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard[1][2]) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.
He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism. A cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish Diaspora around the world, celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature.
As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung at Hogmanay (the last day of the year), and Scots Wha Hae served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country. Other poems a"

How To Use Graphic Organizers To Enhance Learning
"Graphic organizers actually have the power and potential to enhance the learning ability of students in all age groups. Because the use of visual learning tools is becoming widespread, the introduction of graphic organizers from an early age has been pushed as a means of facilitating familiarity with these extremely effective tools as early as possible.
Graphic organizers aid in learning across all subjects by nature, and the processes involved with them are actually applicable in a myriad of different uses. However, the true effectiveness of these graphic organizers actually lies in the ability of the teachers, as it is their responsibility to show students how to efficiently make use of them.
When used in effective ways, graphic organizers have a great amount of potential for fostering learning in a variety of different areas in education. The most prevalent educational areas that are positively affected by the effectiveness of graphic organizers are comprehension, reading and vocabulary knowledge. A number of studies have been conducted that indicate that graphic organizers have the ability to improve reading and vocabulary knowledge and understanding exponentially.
This is because the child is not only being required to read a bunch of words, but instead is being allowed to learn the importance or lack of importance of these words in or"

Single mum Sophia Mahmood doesn't like the possibility of being caught out by pupils on a question she can't answer. She spends hours preparing her lessons at night as a result.
Sophia would love to read a book or exercise in the gym but there's simply no time. For 14 years she has taught at Brierfield Walter Street Primary in Nelson, and loves it there.
She knows she is working too much and wants help to identify shortcuts that won't compromise her obligation and commitment to the children in her class.
What advice will Gladeana have for this teacher who has spent her entire teaching career in the same school?"

S.M.A.R.T. Goals - How to set successful goals
"S.M.A.R.T. Goals to Make a Change:
A goal should provide guidance and direction. Goals like 'lose weight', 'eat better', or 'have less stress' are far too vague and unspecific to help very much in making change. Use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria to help put more detail into your goal. Spending some time creating effective goals will be a huge help later on."
Holiday Insights : National Handwriting Day (23rd January)
"National Handwriting Day is an opportunity to reintroduce yourself to a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. In this day of computers, more and more information, notes, and letters are sent back and forth via a keyboard and cyberspace.
According to the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) website 'The purpose of National Handwriting Day is to alert the public to the importance of handwriting. According to WIMA, National Handwriting Day is a chance for all of us to re-explore the purity and power of handwriting.'
Some of the available documentation we read, suggests concern by stationary, paper companies, and pen and pencil manufacturers that the electronic world will shrink demand for their products. But, indeed, statistics show that pen(or pencil) and paper are alive and well, with a growing demand.
Participate in National Handwriting Day by writing a note or letter to someone. Love letters are cool. Notes to people who are ill or incapacitated will be well received."
"Linguistics is the scientific study of natural language, encompassing a number of sub-fields. An important topical division is between the study of language structure (grammar) and the study of meaning (semantics). Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words combine into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones), non-speech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived.
Over the twentieth century, following the work of Noam Chomsky,[1] linguistics came to be dominated by the Generativist school, which is chiefly concerned with explaining how human beings acquire language and the biological constraints on this acquisition. Generative theory is modularist in character. While this remains the dominant paradigm,[2] Chomsky's writings have also gathered much criticism, and other linguistic theories have increasingly gained popularity; cognitive linguistics is a prominent example. There are many sub-fields in linguistics, which may or may not be dominated by a particular theoretical approach: evolutionary linguistics attempts to account for the origins of language; historical linguistics explores language change and sociolinguistics looks at the relation between linguistic variation and social structures.
A variety of intellectual disciplines are relevant to the study of language. Linguistics — like other sciences — is highly interdisciplinary and draws on work from such fields as psychology, speech-language pathology, informatics, computer science, philosophy, biology, human anatomy, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and acoustics."
Unhealthy Responses to Stress - Bad Habits and Unhealthy Coping
"If you tend to deal with stress in less-than-healthy ways, you are compounding the negative impacts of stress on your health by exacerbating the stress levels and creating new problems in your life and health. The following are some common unhealthy ways of coping with stress, along with some of the negative effects of each, and ideas on how to curb or change the bad habit itself or lessen its impact.
Bad Habit #1 - Consuming Too Much Caffeine:
Multitudes of people enjoy a daily caffeine intake, as evidenced by the extreme popularity of Starbucks and other coffee houses. And while the occasional coffee isn't going to do you great harm, it's important to remember that caffeine is, in fact, a drug, and it's possible to have a full-blown caffeine addiction. More likely and common, however, is caffeine dependence, where people use caffeine to jump-start their energy in the morning, use it throughout the day to stave off a 'caffeine crash', and then find their sleep disturbed by caffeine, causing them to wake up tired and need the caffeine jolt to get going again the next day. As the cycle continues, caffeine affects stress levels as well. If this sounds a little too familiar, here are some resources to help kick the caffeine habit."

Why Take Notes?
"Taking notes is a great way of helping you identify important concepts in class. Even if you have a great memory, you won't be able to remember everything that the teacher says, unless you have a permanent written record for your reference.
The purpose of a literature lecture is often to offer important background information about the literature you're studying, including: biography, literary history, period and movement details, discussion of relevant literary terms, details about the author's style, thematic relationships between works, critical perspective on the works, important quotations, or other relevant material related to the work, time period, etc. The content from literature lectures usually has a way of appearing in mysterious ways in quizzes, in-class writing assignments, essay assignments, and other testing situations. Even if the lecture material doesn't reappear in a testing situation, you may be asked to draw from the knowledge you gained from the lecture for a future in-class discussion, and it's just a good idea to have a record of what you've covered so far in the class. So, here are a few tips about what to think about as you take notes in your literature class..."
Taking Notes - How to Take Notes in Class
"Good class notes are essential to good study skills. If you study bad notes, it's pretty clear that you won't perform very well on tests. But what are good notes? Good notes capture the most important facts and enable you to understand how every fact fits into a larger puzzle.
Many students fall into the trap of attempting to write down every word the teacher speaks. This is unnecessary, but even worse, it's confusing. The key to good notes is identifying the most important things to write down."
Edgar Allan Poe (200th Anniversary)
"Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American poet, short-story writer, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.[1] He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.[2]He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; his parents died when he was young. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. After spending a short period at the University of Virginia and briefly attempting a military career, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.[3]Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today."
Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore:
"Edgar Allan Poe will turn 200 on January 19th, but his spirit lives on in more ways than one, appropriately enough. Poe's writings have become ingrained in our culture, even when we don't realize it. Few people can think of slightly archaic term "Nevermore" without conjuring the image of a raven, or consider tasting a particular fortified wine called amontillado without hearing it spoken by Boris Karloff in their mind's ear. To celebrate Poe's birth, The New York Review of Science Fiction Readings will present a star-studded lineup of writers and performance that will get your tell-tale heart a-beating. There will be a brief perspective on the history and impact of Poe and American gothic writing, a performance of "A Cask of Amontillado," and a book launch party for a new Poe-inspired anthology celebrating the occasion, featuring some of the top writers today.
January 6, 2009 (doors open at 6:30 pm, program begins at 7:00), The South Street Seaport Museum's Melville Gallery (213 Water Street, New York, NY) will host this celebration of Edgar Allan Poe's 200th birthday. Admission is free, but $5 donations are encouraged to offset costs and buy dinner for the readers.
Readings will be done by Veronica Schanoes is an assistant professor of English at Queens College; Simon Loekle, producer/host of As I Please (WBAI 99.5 FM, NYC), a weekly radio program that often presents literary readings; and Ellen Datlow has been editing short science fiction, fantasy, and horror for over twenty-five years. Her latest release is Poe: 19 Tales Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe (Solaris). There will also be four contributors from the Poe anthology doing readings: Gregory Frost, a writer of fantasy, horror and science fiction who has been publishing steadily for more than two decades; John Langan, the author of several stories, including "Mr. Gaunt," and "On Skua Island," which were originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction; Barbara Roden, who has been published in a number of anthologies and is being collected in Northwest Passages, which will be out in 2009 from Prime Books; and Delia Sherman, who has had short fiction in F&SF, Fantasy Magazine, and numerous anthologies, the most recent of which is The Coyote Road (2007).
On the other side of the ocean, the British Fantasy Society will host the UK launch of Poe, a new anthology from Solaris. The book features "remixed and reimagined" versions of Poe's tales by such talents as: Pat Cadigan, Sharyn McCrumb, Kim Newman, Lucius Shepard, M. Rickert and Nicholas Royle.
This free event will be held Saturday, January 31st at the historic Ye Olde Cock Tavern on London's Fleet Street. Ellen Datlow will be on hand to present readings by Pat Cadigan and Kim Newman with copies of the book available for purchase and signature.
It all happens at 2 pm at Ye Olde Cock Tavern, 22 Fleet Street, London, EC4Y 1AA."

Pre-Calculus is a bridge between Algebra and Calculus. It is a continuation of Algebra 2. Topics of pre-calculus like Sequences & Series, Trigonometry, Polar Coordinates, Logarithmic and Exponential Functions are all pre requisites for studying AP Calculus or Engineering in the future.
Pre-calculus concepts teach a student to THINK logically. This area of math is not different from algebra, trigonometry, coordinate geometry or calculus; in fact, it combines elements of all these three areas of study.High School students usually study pre-calculus in the 10th or 11th grade. A student typically starts studying pre-calculus after having learned trigonometry, linear inequalities and some basic functions.
Many US states require that high school students study pre-calculus in order to graduate high school. Pre-Calculus is also routinely used on many state standardized tests to measure student achievement. The SAT and ACT college entrance exams also involve many problems from pre-calculus.

Spitishoot's latest home has some "Unexpected" elements
Spitishoot is a very interesting concept where the homes of very interesting personalities are in the epicentre. Each person gives small details about themselves and the rest is all shown in the photos of their house.
We were so happy that our "The Unexpected" and "Neverforever" collage are part of Dimitra Grammatikaki's home photoshoot. A house that is taken from another era, with obvious vintage elements. Pops of colour to all the important places accompanied with retro furniture give a very specific vibe to the whole place. We love the dining table with the orange chairs, as well as the retro pop bar just at the left of our "NeverForever" print.
Thank you so much for choosing us for your awesome home!

Showing results for tags 'move tag'.
Found 1 result
I have a lot of tags, nested in the way I like. However, to add a new tag to this mix is time consuming - requiring a lot of dragging and closing/opening tag hierarchies. There are many others in the same boat, but I have not seen this idea mentioned so I mention it here - apologies if I missed it and please move accordingly. IMHO, Evernote tag management could be significantly strengthened if the user was presented an option on right-click of any tag to move it - and then a subsequent clickable hierarchy was presented - exactly in the same manner that the 'move to notebook' operates with notes. This could be a feature for at least both Windows and Mac clients.

Welcome to Trauma Cases. These are real cases presented to give you an idea of how cases progress, particularly from an imaging point of view. Originally these were part of Trauma Training presented by Prof. Tony Joseph at RNSH. They are adapted for elearning by John Mackenzie and Davina Juillard from the ECI team.
They all take around 10 minutes depending on how long you wish to ponder elements. These are designed to get your interest going for certain aspects of Trauma and we suggest you follow up these presentations with a brief search on relevant topics, e.g. embolisation versus open Lap for significant and severe bleeds with pelvic fractures.

AS mourning grips the country following the capsizing of MV Nyerere in Lake Victoria of Mwanza Region on Thursday, President John Magufuli has declared four days of mourning where the national flag will fly half-mastAddressing the nation via the Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC), President Magufuli said that the accident that occurred between Bugolora and Ukara Island in Lake Victoria had claimed 131 lives and more bodies were still trapped in the capsized boat.
He went on to order an intensive crackdown of all officials responsible for the management of MV Nyerere. The President also revealed that according to information availed to him but were yet to be verified, the captain in charge of the ferry was not onboard when the incident occurred, as the ferry was left in charge of another person.
"Based on that all the officials of the ferry should be arrested and investigations should proceed," said President Magufuli, adding that the said captain had already been arrested. He further cautioned politicians not to use the devastating moment for obtaining own free publicity, but rather leave the matter to be handled by proper authorities.
Earlier on, the Chief Secretary, Ambassador John Kijazi, ordered for prompt investigation and legal action to all servants who were involved in one way or another.
Closing a three-day in-camera meeting cum induction training to all permanent secretaries and their deputies as well Regional Administrative Secretaries, Ambassador Kijazi said initial investigation reports have it that the accident was caused by overloading.
"As of 15.10 pm today, the reports have it that MV Nyerere whose capacity was 101 passengers has caused 127 death and 40 survivors meaning it had exceeded the carrying capacity 67 passengers," he said.
Adding, "As the rescue operations continue, we are not sure of the exact number of passengers who were in the vessel, thus allinvolved must be taken into account including officials from the Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA)," said Mr Kijazi.
He told the meeting participants that the accident should serve as an eye opener saying some people were irresponsible and the trend should not be left unchecked. He also called for a special investigation against SUMATRA officials since they are tasked with ensuring the safety of the marine vessels with the number of passengers is among the details.
He commissioned for detailed investigation to see if the vessel had other reasons that caused it to capsize apart from overloading. Ambassador Kijazi used the audience to send condolences to the bereaved families and the casualties saying the government is praying for their quick recovery.
Meanwhile, thousands of relatives were anxiously waiting to identify the bodies of their beloved who perished in the yet another calamity similar to the one that occurred in 1996 when MV Bukoba capsized, killing hundreds of passengers onboard.
The situation is tense here, with Inspector General of Police (IGP) Simon Sirro cautioning the rest of the residents to remain calm and observe instructions as issued by the authorities, until they are informed on how best they will identify their dead relatives.
IGP Simon Sirro said the identification exercise would start anytime yesterday paving the way for the identified bodies to be taken for burial according to their religions and traditions.
The Minister for Works, Transport and Communications, Isack Kamwelwe, said all measures will be taken to make sure bodies were well preserved in the mortuary at Bwisya Health Centre and that the government will be fully involved in all aspects to make sure the burial exercise was carried out smoothly, while divers work hard to make sure all bodies were recovered.
The capsized MV Nyerere underwent major maintenance in July, this year, with two engines fixed but eye witnesses attributed the Wednesday accident to overloading as the ferry was on its way from Bugolola market to Ukara.
The Tanzania Electrical Mechanical and Service Agency (TEMESA) Manager for Mwanza Region, Eng Hassan Kalonda, said five staff of the Agency also perished including the Captain of the ferry, Abel Mahatane.
He mentioned others as Emmanuel Shinga (Clerk), Augustine Charahani (Technician), Mathias Thomas (Security Guard) and Blastus Bundara, (In-charge of ferry) while other three were rescued.
Another team that arrived yesterday for reinforcements in the evacuation exercise included the Navy Force from Musoma in Mara Region which was accompanied by the Regional Commissioner, Adam Malima.
The MV Nyerere was constructed in 2004 with normal net weight of 25 tonnes, and carrying capacity of 100 passengers and 3 small cars. An estimated 1,000 people perished after MV Bukoba, capsized on May 21, 1996, shortly before reaching Mwanza Port.
Overloading of passengers and cargo alike, was one of the factors blamed for the disaster, the worst since the country attained political independence in December 1961.
Several people were entombed in the bowels of the lake and some of the retrieved bodies were buried in a memorial graveyard near Mwanza city. On September 10, 2011, nearly 200 people perished when MV Spice Islander, which was travelling between Zanzibar's main island, Unguja, and Pemba, sank off Zanzibar Island.
In July the following year, at least 31 people died when MV Kalama capsized after it set sail from the Tanzanian commercial capital of Dar es Salaam. Enhancement of maritime safety is one of the challenges that the Union and Zanzibar governments are still grappling with.

is it just me... or is ethan hawke really annoying???greenspun.com : LUSENET : zootzie : One Thread
i mean... i know hes got this... sex-symbol-type-pretty-boy-but-i-have-a-mind-too-and-i-hate-the-fakeness-in-hollywood-becuase-im-really-anti-establishment-so-i-decide-not-to-wash-or-shave-cuz-im-cool-like-dat-and-im-really-sensitive-too-see-look-im-crying-and-running-in-the-rain-and-stuff... thing going on... but thats exactly why i think hes a big loser. He tries too hard to be cool and apparently he believes cool=dirty... and its just kinda sad to see someone be so incredibly lame all the time like that... i kind of pity him in a way... hes the last of the grunge martyrs... only hes still alive... please... someone put him out of his misery and sabotage the brakes on his ethan-hawke-type car...
-- mike (firstname.lastname@example.com), May 21, 2000
I used to like him... now I'm neutral. He is pretty damn grunge-y. It was pretty sad, in watching Hamlet I kept thinking (besides 'WHY did they do this?') about how god awful his hair was. The front has potential to be okay, but we kept getting these side and rear view shots of his head and I just was cringing. It's just not a good look. At all. :P
But, he married Uma, whom I love with all my heart... so I don't wish him dead. I only wish a haircut and a shampoo upon that head. Maybe a hosedown, to.
-- siobhan (email@example.com), May 21, 2000.
I used to love Ethan Hawke. He was absolutely adorable in Dead Poet's Society. His grunge look is rather old and very overrated, though. Shampoo is our friend. The greasy hair look and everything is just annoying. Ugh.
-- Kristin (firstname.lastname@example.com), May 21, 2000.
Yeah I'm not too down with the grunge thing, loved him in DPS, he was pretty cool and attractive in Snow Falling on Cedars as well. The new Hamlet looks bad, I think I'll stick with Branagh, even though I hear he's casting Alicia Silverstone in "Love's Labours Lost".

its so good to know that im not alone in this...

18 September 2013 Archived
The World Wildlife Fund Art Auction, presented by Strauss & Co and Everard Read, raised close on R5 million last night at the CIRCA gallery, in Johannesburg.
This glamorous occasion, attended by Johannesburg's Who's Who, took place at Everard Read's state of the art CIRCA gallery. The hour-long auction, which attracted a capacity crowd, was characterised from the outset by animated bidding and enthusiastic applause as each lot fell under the hammer.
Of the 22 lots on sale, 17 exceeded their presale estimates, in some instances by up to three times. Examples were Karel Nel's two panels,Taung/Piltdown, which sold for R150 000, Harold Voigt's Winter Sunlight which sold for R200 000 and Lionel Smit's Disclose which sold for R300 000. The highest price realised was for an exceptional painting of Okavango Channel Blooms by John Meyer which, after ferocious bidding, was knocked down for R750 000.
Included in the total is a very generous donation of R1 million, half the price raised from the sale of Adrian Steirn's photograph portrait of Nelson Mandela, which sold prior to the auction to an anonymous buyer in New York for R2 million, setting a record price for a photograph in South Africa. Steirn donated the other R1 million to the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital.
After the auction well over 300 people continued to party into the night, enjoying the lively music, the delicious food and drink, and making it one of the most vibrant events of the year.
South Africa's leading art auctioneer, Stephan Welz, Managing Director of Strauss & Co, who conducted the auction, described last night's event as "a great evening for a great cause which also did much to foster the arts".
WWF's CEO, Dr Morné du Plessis, commented after the auction: "I was really touched by the overwhelming support that people have expressed not only verbally but by actually participating in the auction. I feel very encouraged by people who in their daily lives have little to do with the environment and yet have been so generous in their support. It fills me with the hope that everyone eventually understands that the environment sustains us, not us it".
Mark Read, owner of the Everard Read Gallery, went on to comment as follows: "Wow – South Africa never fails to surprise when one imagines people are tired and starting to vaguely think about the beach, holidaying.... Serious issues about supporting the senior environmental NGO, are absolutely meaningful to people who come here to spend serious money, on serious art. The artists who generously donated their works gave of their best and the auction featured a good spectrum of the many luminary names in Modern and Contemporary Art . Not one artist was found to be less desirable than another. Instead, they all emerged with their reputations enhanced by having participated in this auction".
At the end of the auction Mark Read thanked all for attending and for their immense generosity. He concluded by paying special tribute to Stephan Welz, with the words: "the South African art world is not only immeasurably enriched by Stephan Welz, it is unthinkable without him".

Once in a while the thought occurs to me and enters my mind that if I were not a businessman + techie, what else could I be? What else would I be doing? Then I entertain several possibilities, which can be a very interesting experiment, though it does have a limited list of possibilities.
Let's start with what I could not be (no matter how my life was sliced!):
- Cricketer
- Singer/Musician/Rapper
- Sportsman in general
Now let's get to what I could possibly be. The ones highlighted are those I would still strive to become no matter what happens and irrespective of likelihood:
- Civil Servant (I have contemplated going in this direction for a few months)
- Theoretical Physicist
- Politician/Public Servant
- Writer
- Journalist
Could I be an ascetic? Perhaps, but I would still need to work a lot of things out before clearing the pathway for such a vocation. But it may take few lifetimes to reach!
