1 Primary School Teacher's Perception of the Efficacy of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in Saint Louis University, Laboratory Elementary School
Authors: Hwan Hee Choi, Villiam Ambong, Kevin Banawag, Wynne Shane Bugatan, Mark Alvin Jay Carpio, Moises Kevin Chungalao
Abstract:This survey research investigated the perception of primary school teachers on the efficacy of MTB-MLE in SLU-LES, Baguio City. SLU-LES has a total of 21 primary school teachers who served as respondents of this study in an attempt to answer the major questions regarding the efficacy of MTB-MLE among primary school teachers. A questionnaire was used in collecting the data which were analyzed using weighted mean and ANOVA. The questionnaire was validated by a statistician and it was administered to a school which does not differ from the intended respondents for further validation of the items. Findings revealed from the intended respondents that they perceive MTB-MLE as effective; however, they do not prefer the use of Mother Tongue as a medium of instruction. A research on the same topic was conducted in Ibadan, Nigeria by Dr. David O. Fakeye and although his respondents were students; the results came out that the respondents do perceive MTB-MLE to be efficacious. The results of this study also showed that years of teaching experience and the number of languages spoken by the teachers have no bearing on the preference of the respondents between MT medium and English medium gave that the respondents are in melting pot community. Comparative studies between rural and urban schools are encouraged. Future researchers should include questions that elicit reasons of the respondents on the efficacy of mother tongue as well as their preference between mother tongue medium and English.

Can you believe that in the past four months, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) is up over 22%? Or that Citigroup (NYSE: C) is up close to 20% and J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) is approaching a 25% gain YTD? The real stunner might be Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), which is up more than 48% over the same time.
Those aren't surprising gains just because the financial services sector spent so much time over the past few years ensconced in heavy controversy. These big moves are also surprising because unless it's Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) we're talking about, companies with 11 and 12-figure market caps just don't make these kinds of moves in condensed periods of time. Big bank stocks in particular do not have reputations for being growth stocks.
Does that mean the best moves of 2012 are over for bank stocks? They might be for the mega-cap banks, but there are plenty of micro-cap banks offering compelling prospects and good dividends, too.
Medallion Financial is one of the more well-known stocks in the micro-cap universe if for no other reason than that the company has been around for almost two decades and because engages in originating, acquiring, and servicing loans that finance taxicab medallions. Basically, if you want be a cab driver in New York and need a loan to purchase the medallion, Medallion Financial helps you with that, so this isn't your run-of-the-mill financial services company.
This may not be the type of company investors usually think of as being a strong dividend payer, but the reality is Medallion Financial has increased its dividend by a third since late 2010 and the payout has quadrupled since 2003. Medallion now yields north of 7%.
CapLease is a real estate investment trust (REIT), so it's not surprising this company has a juicy 6.3% yield. By law, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income each year to shareholders as dividends. The company did cut its payout during the financial crisis, but it has increased the dividend in the past year.
Roughly 95% of CapLease's assets are owned single-tenant properties and while the company operates in just 24 states, the company does count the U.S. government, TJMax (NYSE: TJX) and Tiffany (NYSE: TIF) among its tenants.
Last year, CapLease sold $240 Million of debt investments and reduced its debt portfolio 74%. Portfolio leverage was reduced to 66%.
The chart for Artio Global Investors does not look particularly attractive at the moment…we'll address that in more detail in just a minute. The New York-based company provides portfolio management and fund management services to clients and has been in business for almost five decades.
In addition to New York, Artio Global has offices in Los Angeles, Toronto, London and Sydney. The company finished March with $26.6 billion in assets under management…down $24.7 billion, or 48%, from $51.3 billion as of March 31, 2011, due to net client cash outflows and market depreciation.
"Net client cash outflows for the first quarter of 2012 were $6.0 billion, driven primarily by net client cash outflows from our International Equity I and II strategies, partly offset by net client cash inflows to our High Yield and High Grade Fixed Income strategies" according to Richard Pell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer.
"Elsewhere, amid the first quarter's more 'risk-on' environment, our High Yield strategy generated healthy net inflows. And our Multi-, Small- and Microcap US Equity strategies produced exceptional performance, enhancing their potential to become more meaningful contributors to our business over time" said Mr. Pell.
Artio started paying its dividend in 2010 and currently yields 5.1%, but the company's payout ratio is just 18%, indicating there is room for dividend growth and that the firm is not being overwhelmed by its dividend. ART bounced off its 52 week low of $3.59 on April 27 and may very well be poised to reward early movers on this beaten down micro-cap.
**The screening methodology used for this included the following parameters: stocks that currently reside in the micro-cap universe, yield above 3%, financial services stocks excluding closed-end funds and those with average daily volume of at least 50,000 shares.

I own and operate San Francisco Showroom LLC where I represent top quality lingerie, foundations (bras), loungewear, maternity/nursing, daywear, and accessories brands.
I research boutiques, department stores, online retailers, spas, resorts, hospitals, and hotels that would be a good fit for these product lines.
I travel nationally, visiting stores to show the collections I represent, as well as provide marketing, merchandising and business consultation to help the stores I work with increase sales. I participate in trunk shows and special events.
I helped my mother open her lingerie store, A La Mode in 2003, which she still owns and operates in Annapolis, Maryland. I was her store manager, buyer and marketing/event planner.
That experience taught me the joys and challenges of managing a small business and has allowed me to be the best sales rep I can be to the buyers and business owners I work with today.
I try to physically visit as many stores as possible so that I can know the area and clientele of the stores I work with and provide them with the best buying suggestions and recommendations.

I finally started the new blog I've been going on about. It is called InspireMe as I hope it will be an inspiration to all who visit. Please visit and subscribe here: http://wp.me/1ePG6
I hope your Sunday is going beautifully well. Mine is. Except that I am in such a lazy mood and can't believe Monday is here already! The boys break up from school this week, I haven't planned anything fun for them, we'll be going to see some family movies and might make it to Lapland. Last year we went to winter wonderland and I was certain I had frost-bite and my entire being would become gangrenous. Thank God we survived. We did spot one man jogging in a T shirt and shorts in a sub-zero temperature. Some people are just mad. I don't like the cold-at all. I don't visit friends without my socks in case their home is cold. As a matter of fact I would rather go hungry than cold. How do I deal with winter? Well you know how some gurus offer these classes where they have their students walk on hot coals to overcome their fears? They get across the coals by chanting; "cold wet grass, cold wet grass!" Well I chant "hot red sun, hot red sun"! If I can make it to March I'll be fine. And if I can get past December so that in January I can say next month winter ends….
Have a blessed week!

Tesla Motor Inc. (TSLA) is an American electric car and power-train designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor headed by CEO and serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. The company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It is also involved with providing services to other automotive companies toward these goals, for example, by selling its battery technology. Tesla Motors Inc. has two primary revenue segments: automotive sales and development services. As of Sept. 30, 2018, automotive sales accounted for the lion's share of revenue, while development services made up a small, but growing, proportion of revenue.
Major competitors for Tesla include traditional auto companies such as Ford Motor Company, the multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1903; General Motors (GM), the U.S.-based automobile manufacturer founded in 1908; Honda Motor Company (HMC), a multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1948; Nasdaq-listed Kandi Technologies; Navistar (NAV), commercial vehicle holding company; Oshkosh (OSK), truck and military vehicle manufacturer, founded in 1917; PACCAR Inc., truck manufacturer; Spartan Motors, specialty chassis and vehicle manufacturer; Tata Motors, the largest automotive manufacturer in India; Toyota Motor Corp. (TM), a multinational automotive manufacturer; and Wabco (WBC), manufacturer of systems for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Federal Signal, an industrial conglomerate, can also be seen as a competitor in the development services space.
Traditional car companies are continuously increasing their offerings of hybrid gasoline-electric cars as well as pure electric vehicles—such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. Still, Tesla cars carry with them a certain high-status cache that has not yet been reproduced by the incumbent automakers. But this may soon change; by Q4 of 2018, car companies involved with developing and producing commercially available electric cars include BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Motor Co., General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar / Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.
In 2018, US News issued its list of top 8 electric vehicles, where a Tesla car took the #4 and #2 slots:
- 8) 2018 Kia Soul EV
- 7) 2018 BMW i3
- 6) 2018 Nissan Leaf
- 5) 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf
- 4) 2018 Tesla Model 3
- 3) 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV
- 2) 2018 Tesla Model S
- 1) 2018 Chevrolet Volt EV
Tesla markets and sells its cars through its own network of retail stores located in North America, Europe, and Asia. For the full fiscal year of 2017, the company reported gross revenues of $11.6 billion. Tesla has a market capitalization of $62.8 billion as of December 14, 2018. It does not pay a dividend.
Tesla has not remained profitable despite its high demand for its electric cars and rapid expansion—the company has also been investing heavily in its infrastructure, with the construction of its new Gigafactory in Reno, Nevada, among other initiatives. As a result of this expansion, the firm is expected to reduce the costs of the batteries installed in its cars by 30% once the factory begins production. "Given that Tesla has never made an annual profit in the almost 15 years since it existed, profit is obviously not what motivates us," Elon Musk wrote in a company 2018 email. Tesla lost nearly $2 billion in 2017, lost $675 million in 2016, and lost $889 million in 2015.

For the ultimate fling before the ring, not many destinations can match the charisma and spirit of New Orleans. The Big Easy is renowned for decadence: fabulous food, all-night bars, and its credo "Laissez les bon temps rouler" (Let the good times roll).
The possibilities for bachelorette escapades can get overwhelming. So, we gathered our personal favorite places to eat, drink, and play in the city. After all, she won't be ready to head down the aisle until she swaggers and struts down Bourbon Street, right?
Get ready for a weekend of rare revelry, of bridal bashes and beignets. It's time to grab the bride, corral the best friends, and hit the city until sunrise.
Where to Eat
Here's where to fuel up for fun times ahead.
A favorite among locals and visitors for their famous breakfast and banana's foster, Brennan's Is also known for their Champagne happy hour and Champagne sabering In the courtyard on Fridays.
Treat the bride to a stunning, royal experience. Café Amelie is tucked in a gorgeous 150-year-old carriage house and lush courtyard that was once home to Alice Heine, America's first Princess of Monaco. With a setting so beautiful, Café Amelie has won over the hearts of brides all over the country, and is a favorite wedding reception venue after-hours. Perfect for brunch before catching the flight home.
This Cajun gem is a headliner of NOLA's culinary scene. On the menu: A showcase of Southern specialties, where you'll find pork served in a variety of fashions – smoked, shredded, pressed and cured. Creole and Cajun influences abound and the tapas-sized portions make this an ideal choice for your girls getaway.
Bakery Bar
The locals agree: This is the place for hedonistic desserts. A bakery, café and bar, Bakery Bar riffs off the classic NOLA layer cake and serves up sweet treats with cheeky names. Think D Cups, their mini cakes, and Salty Balls, truffle cakes topped with sea salt. But the real treat is the collection of 35 flavors of the 8-layer doberge cake, including salted caramel.
Classy enough to pull on the heels and evening dress for, Galatoire's serves up elegant French-Creole cuisine, like shrimp remoulade, crabmeat ravigotte and oysters en brouchette. Locals book this place way in advance, get in on this early if you're planning to bring a big group.
Sure, it's a cliché. But, there's a reason this place is a legend. Don't. Miss. It. With a bustling café scene, a warm cup of chickory coffee and platefuls of those infamous sugar-laced beignets, it's as if the café was created just for bachelorettes. These beignets are the epitome of the New Orleans experience. One bite of the light, puffy pillows and you'll see why. Best part: Open 24 hours a day for those late-night cravings.
What to Do
There's more to a NOLA bachelorette weekend than the French Quarter and the bars of Bourbon Street. Venture out early for these daytime adventures:
Shop for Bachelorette Swag
First things first: Save room in your carry on luggage. Leave the bachelorette tiaras and feather boas at home. You'll find gift shops all over the French Quarter with ample options and choices for party wear and gear. Don't forget to load up on beads to throw from bar balconies.
From yoga virgins to veterans, Bride Tribe Yoga teachers create custom classes that work for all types of fitness and skill levels. They bring the entire experience to your hotel, Airbnb or a nearby community space. We incorporate music that means something to your tribe, from Drake to Mumford & Sons to Disney theme songs, this ain't your mama's yoga class! The ladies at BTY can supply mats, cold lavender eye towels, spa water, flower crowns, trucker hats, group tank-tops, and of course the bubbly to the party.
Journey in old-world style in the oldest continuously operated street car in the world. You'll all feel like Southern belles riding in rail cars boasting charming brass details, mahogany seats and exposed light bulbs. Pass by gorgeous antebellum mansions, Loyola and Tulane universities, the sweeping landscapes of the Audubon Zoological Gardens, and historic monuments.
Explore the Garden District
Leave the bustling and boisterous French Quarter behind and visit the oak-lined streets of the graceful Garden District. Accessible by the St. Charles Line Streetcar, the Garden District is a haven of plantation-style mansions, boutiques, antique stories and quaint street cafes.
Layette Cemetery No. 1
Don't miss one of the most beautiful, and safest to visit, above-ground cemeteries in Louisiana. This is also one of the most filmed cemeteries, making guest appearances in NCIS: New Orleans, CW's The Originals and the Ashley Judd movie, Double Jeopardy.
Swamp Tour
Cruise along New Orleans' mysterious bayous, draped with Spanish moss and cypress trees. Explore flora and fauna you can't find anywhere else in the country. Get (safely!) up close to a 10-foot alligator, as well as spot herons, bald eagles, turtles and minks. Feel a world away from the French Quarter. If your bachelorette party has more than 6 people, consider renting a private a boat tour (Bonus: you can bring your own drinks). Try Beyond the Bayou, Cajun Critters Swamp Tour or Cajun Style Tours. Want even faster thrills? Try a high-speed airboat in the swamps.
Creole and Cajun Culinary Class
If your bride has an adventurous palate, discover the tips, tricks and techniques behind Louisiana's signature cooking styles, Cajun and Creole. Create dishes using local ingredients, including crawfish, boudin blanc, crabs and cayenne pepper or regional hot sauce. Located right in the French Quarter, the New Orleans School of Cooking offers daily demo classes, as well as hands-on group classes.
Where to Party
A bachelorette weekend in New Orleans isn't complete until you experience some signature sips in the city. Throw in some live music and dancing, and this will be the bride's bash that she'll never want to forget.
It's little wonder that Channing Tatum's provocative bar has become a French Quarter celebrity outpost, as well as a favorite of bachelorette parties. Spend the evening savoring New Orleans fare, seductive cocktails and dancing the night away surrounded by the decadent atmosphere that mimics the burlesque halls and bordellos of New Orleans' Storyville.
The prime pick to keep things chic, classy and full of Big Easy charm. Sip cocktails in an intimate brick courtyard, then slip off the heels and dip your feet in the salt water pool. Surrounded by leafy foliage, wrought iron, plantation shutters, and twinkling gas lamps, this is the most charming spot to defy Bourbon Street's debauchery.
Shake it in style at Bourbon Heat, where they play a mix of R&B, hip hop, and house music until the wee hours. Perfect for the bride who's got the dance moves and isn't afraid to flaunt them. Best part? Head to their 50-foot outdoor balcony for some awesome people-watching of Bourbon Street down below.
Wind down for great sips and good conversation at this intimate, Victorian-inspired bar, tucked away from the Bourbon Street chaos. Lauded as one of the best-kept secrets of the French Quarter, May Baily's Place was once one of the most popular and successful bordellos in New Orleans' red-light district. Its notorious history makes it a favorite stop for local ghost tours and history buffs. We like to think that the ghost of the famous Madam May Baily herself continues to look after all the patrons who pass through her doors.
A must for any New Orleans bachelorette party: Pat O'Briens is the most well-known watering hole on Bourbon Street and home of the famous Hurricane drink. Start your raucous and rocking evening singing along with dueling pianos.
For the chic bride-to-be who craves craft cocktails over gallon-sized daiquiris, introduce her to Bourbon O Bar. This up-market craft cocktail bar serves up sophisticated fun with whimsical drinks. Stop by any night of the week for live blues and jazz. Bourbon "O" has a special bachelorette party menu such with cocktails such as the Blushing Bride Martini. Then, once you're ready to strut your stuff down Bourbon Street, grab the glitzy souvenir Midas Cup 'go cup' and get ready to attract coveted stares.

text: A lifetime measurement has been made for the first excited 11/2(+) state in the proton-unbound nucleus (109)(53)I56 using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method in conjunction with recoil-proton tagging. The experimental reduced transition probability is considerably smaller than the prediction of theoretical shell-model calculations using the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental reduced transition strengths in this work most likely arises from the inability of the current shell-model calculations to accurately account for the behavior of the unbound nuclear states.

Last year I had the privilege of traveling to a village in North Africa with some friends. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I hope I can return soon.
While I loved the beautiful scenery
And the incredible architecture
My favorite part, as always, was the people.
One night we went to a henna party with some of the local ladies.
Although there was a huge verbal language barrier,
we were still women enjoying one another.
We all ate chocolate (I brought the Dove)
And had our henna done.
Henna goes on very thick like mud. You leave it to dry on your skin, preferably overnight, and it leaves a stain.
I loved the party and the ladies were all so precious!
The girl who did the henna was amazingly fast, and aren't the designs gorgeous?
This is how the stain looks after the thick mud is washed off.
Yep, I am so ready to go back.
If you ever get a chance to have henna, it is very beautiful and a fun experience. If you get to have henna in another culture, even better.
Thanks for stopping by,

Hi 🙂 I'm Adrian!! I'm turning 21 this month and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm female (most people guess I'm a guy when they see my name) and to kill the time I love music- the 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Pierce the Veil, Allie X, Bastille, Billie Eilish, Nicole Dollanganger, Marina and the Diamonds, Lana Del Rey etc, binging netflix, your standard social media sites, reading, and writing short stories. I struggle with anxiety and depression, which has always made having an "irl" social life kind of complicated, but snailmail penpals always seemed like such an amazing concept & something I could have a lot of fun with and actually meet some cool new people! (Well, not actually meet, but you know what i mean) I'll leave some links below if anyone wants to get in touch 🙂

Last year around this time, rabbits wreaked havoc in the grove nibbling on the bark of the little trees. Some of them were nearly ring-barked, to the extent that what was left of the trunk/bark wasn't enough for the trees to recover from the damage.
Apparently this is somewhat of a spring problem. The bark on the trunks turn sweet in springtime, making it a lovely snack for animals. This probably also explains why the possums are chewing the bark off our apple trees! Amongst others. So, if you've got sheep grazing your grove, now would be the time to move them out. They too love the sweet bark and will nibble on your trees this time of year.
The little trees that were nibbled last year, made new growth lower down the trunk. In most cases this new growth were much more vigorous than the original tree. So, maxing out my own nerves, I decided to chop off the damaged trees to let the new growth become a new trees. Phew. That was one of my bolder moves in the grove.
|Downsizing our damaged trees in the hope of having more productive ones in a few years.

In support of this initial project, LIPA will fund the initial interconnection costs of the wind farm with the local power grid -- an amount which is estimated to range from $40 million to as much as $70 million.
A study performed by New York State-based AWS Scientific has determined that offshore wind farms could generate as much as 5200 MW of electricity for Long Island, nearly equal to the amount of electricity currently used by the island during peak periods. LIPA would prefer starting with a small project, however, "about 100 megawatts to begin with," says LIPA's Michael Lowndes. "We're very committed to clean energy," he adds. "We have committed over $170 million to the exploration and development of clean energy."
Even with LIPA's sponsorship, officials say they believe this first project will require somewhere between three to five years development time. "We don't figure this will be a six month process that we'll breeze through," Lowndes cautions. "But we're prepared to take on these hurdles."
How the US federal government will treat offshore wind is by no means clear. Currently, a powerful political triumvirate in Massachusetts has filed legislation that, if passed, will substantially slow the development of any offshore wind development in the United States. The legislation would require a two year study of offshore wind before any further action is taken.
Filed by powerful Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, whose family (including President John F. Kennedy) has sailed off Cape Cod for generations and who would be able to see the turbines from his own home, the legislation is supported by Massachusetts Democratic Senator John F. Kerry, who portrays himself as an environmentally committed politician. Kerry, who is said to have presidential aspirations, owns a high-end home on the expensive island of Nantucket from which some of the proposed turbines may be visible, according to the local newspaper, the Cape Cod Times.

Leaves of My Brown Turkey Fig Tree Turning Brown
Why are the leaves of my Brown Turkey fig tree turning brown? I bought my fig tree 2 weeks ago, repotted it into an old alluminum dolly tub in a mixture of previously used shop bought potting compost and new shop bought compost. It's about 2 foot tall. The leaves are starting to turn brown (not spots). I've put it against a sheltered west wall, which gets the sun from early afternoon until evening. Hope you can help.

Soundtrack review: A esmorga (Zeltia Montes – 2014)
"A Esmorga" (rough translation "On a binge") is a 2014 movie directed by Ignacio Vilar. Eduardo Blanco Amor's novel of the same title is one of the most well known books in Galician language, but although it was already written in 1959, it took 55 years until a film based on the book was made in the Galician language with Galician actors. The book and therefore the film tell the story of three struggling men and accompanies them for 24 hours while they roam through the city, visit the pubs and brothels, before they find their tragic end. Zeltia Montes wrote the score.
The story sounds really grim so I am bracing myself for a very sad score. I wasn't familiar with Zeltia Montes' work until now but it doesn't take more than the opening credits to make me happy to make her music's acquaintance. I've always been a fan of minimalistic piano music and I've listened to a lot of works by composers like Philip Glass, Michael Nyman and Arvo Part. It's been a while since I have heard a score like this though and I have been missing the sound; the music is like a thin dark veil that is very comfortable to the touch, a veil that separates me from the outside world. There is nothing but the loneliness of the solo piano in this score, a lonely one way road towards an inevitably tragic end. Compositions like this are why the piano is my favourite instrument to listen to; it doesn't take more than a composer and a skilled soloist to express deep and poignant emotions without the help of anything else. The story is troubled, loud, with fires and brothels and violence but Zeltia Montes doesn't concern herself with that; she provides the beautiful and elegiac soundscape that probably represents the loss of the character's souls and the sadness and desolation that eats away at them and pushes them to the suicidal drinking binge. The cues of "A esmorga" are not very different from one another but the subtle little changes in the way the keys of the piano are touched make each of them a separate and special gem. All 39 minutes of this score are a continuous elegy, a continuous and hopeless end titles suite, a melancholic requiem that is as stunningly beautiful as it's sad.
"A esmorga" is a minimalistic piano score as I have rarely heard; Zeltia Montes wrote a wordless representation of pain, of a tragic destiny and a haunting score that leaves an echo inside me long after it's over. Everything hurts in this score: the helplessness, the loneliness, the lack of hope; but often these emotions make for the most beautiful film music scores. This is a score from someone with a deep love for the piano and many years of expressing her feelings through the piano; it's the only way a score would feel so honest. I am off to look for more music by Zeltia Montes.

Did Gender Make A Difference Essay, Research Paper
Did Gender Make a Difference?
Within slavery there were harsh conditions which
Frederick Douglass tries to convey in his biography
"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."
Within this narrative he dezribes how men and women
slaves were treated differently by their masters.
Women were abused by their master, physically,
sexually, and mentally, while men were mostly abused
physically and mentally.
Many slave women suffered regular beatings.
Frederick Douglass mentions several different
instances where female slaves who he knew where
beaten regularly. One of Douglass's first overseers,
Mr. Plummer, would beat Douglass's aunt on a daily
basis. Mr. Plummer whipped Douglass's aunt so often
he began a routine, "He would whip her to make her
scream, and whip her to make her hush" (23).
Frederick Douglass also recounted the killing of a
slave girl because she slept through a baby's cry.
While he was in Baltimore Fredrick Douglass observed
the multiple beating of two young girls across the
street. Douglass says "The girls seldom passed her
without her saying, 'Move faster, you black gip!' at
the same time giving them a blow with the cowskin
over the head and shoulders, often drawing the blood"
(49). But women were not the only ones who received
beatings. The men were also physically abused.
Douglass describes two stable men, old Barney and
young Barney, who never know when to expect a
beating from their master, "They never knew when they
were safe from punishment. They were frequently
whipped when least deserving" (32). Douglass
explains one of his own experience's of the beatings
which he received as a slave. He told us how
"he rushed at me with the fierceness of a
tiger, tore off my clothes, and lashed me
till he had worn out his switches, cutting me
so savagely as to leave the marks visible for
a long time" (70).
Men and women alike were physically abused by their
masters, deserving or not.
Not only did women suffer harsh physical abuse,
they were also sexually abused. Many of the masters
had relations with their female servants. Frederick
Douglass's own father was white, and it was rumored
that his father was his original master. Douglass
believed the sexual abuse that masters inflicted was
"done too obviously to administer to their own lusts,
and make a gratification of their wicked desires
profitable as well as pleasurable" (21). He believed
female slaves were not only workers for the masters
but also outlets for sexual frustration. Women did
not only endure sexual abuse by their masters, they
also had the responsibility of bearing children to
increase their masters' wealth. These women were
treated as animals, being bought for child bearing.
Frederick Douglass exemplifies this attitude toward
female slaves through the story of a slave named
Caroline. Douglass stated that her master, Mr. Covey
"bought her, as he said, for a breeder" (72). When
she produced a set of twins, "Mr. Covey seemed to be
highly pleased …. nothing they could do for
Caroline during her confinement was too good, or too
hard to be done" (73). Men did not have the
misfortune to be used for this purpose. Many male
slaves enjoyed the fact that these women were
present. It gave them the chance to relieve their
sexual frustration. Women slaves received this abuse
not only from their masters but also from their
fellow slaves.
Emotional pain was inflicted upon women slaves
through the separation of them from their children.
After only two months the children were sent to an
elderly slave, who could no longer work, to be taken
care of. Then the mother was sent to another farm to
work. Douglass talked about his experiences with his
mother. He told of how she walked seven miles, from
a neighboring farm, just to sit next to him at night
before he fell asleep. He also mentioned the
detachment which he felt after his mothers death. He
states that,
"I was not allowed to be present during her
illness, at her death, or burial. She was
gone long before I knew any thing about it.
Never having enjoyed, to any considerable
extent, her soothing presence, her tender and
watchful care, I received the tidings of her
death with much the same emotions I should
have probably felt at the death of a
stranger" (20-1).
For a mother to walk seven miles and have a
sleepless night to be with her son shows the mental
anguish that she was going through due to the
separation of her and her child. Douglass does not
mention the separation of fathers and children, or
any interest of fathers in their children's lives.
There was no evidence that male slaves felt
separation anxiety. But both male and female slaves
were mentally abused. They were kept ignorant.
Slaves were uneducated because they were forbidden to
read or write by their masters. Douglass recounts
his own experience of when he began to read. His
mistress was teaching him the alphabet, when his
master found out he stated,
"If you give a nigger an inch, he will take
an ell. A nigger should know nothing but to
obey his master-to do as he is told to do.
Learning will spoil the best nigger in the
world. Now if you teach that nigger
(speaking of myself) how to read, there would
be no keeping him. It would forever unfit
him to be a slave. He would at once become
unmanageable, and of no values to his master"
His mastered had the concept that if a slave was
knowledgeable he would become unmanageable. This a
form of mental abuse because it denied the slaves the
ability to think for themselves, through denying them
the knowledge needed to make important decisions.
The life of a female slave seems to be a little
more trying then that of a male slaves. This is due to
the sexual abuse which the women must endure. Also
brought forth was some trials of slavery which do not
always come to mind, such as separation anxiety,
illiteracy, and sexual abuse. These acts of abuse were
a large part of slavery during its existence. The
types of abuse were present in order to keep the slave
population as slaves, and not a group of people who
think for themselves.

Anyone from Europe will tell you that what Americans generally consider "bread" is more like a loaf of bland nothingness with the consistency of a sponge that can be mushed together into something resembling playdough. To be fair, it is okay if you get some multigrain bread and toast it to give it some firmness and make sandwiches, but other than that ….
Artisan bread is a step up and brings a bit more taste and firmness. It can be found at various stores, we generally get some from Cub or Trader Joes. But the best bread we have found till now is at a local "breadsmith" here in Minneapolis / St. Paul. They truely sell real bread. Yaaaay. So if there is a breadsmith near you, drop in and have a look, might be you find bread like you have never tasted before.
We visited the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum last week, here are some impressions we captured with the camera ….[Not a valid template]
For the release of their latest game Portal 2, Valve went to great lengths marketing wise. They set up an "Alternate reality game" (ARG) with tips and puzzles hidden in 13 independent games (to promote indie games). Some of the games even added extra levels just for the ARG. Solving puzzles, finding passwords, and triggering special events led to the possibility to gain "potatoes" as a sign of progress. If all 36 potatoes were found in the 13 games involved players got a golden potato.
After the ARG was solved by the community, Valve added a countdown a few days before the release of Portal 2, allowing the community to get Portal2 to release early by collecting potatoes and (in the end phase) playing the 13 indie games.
Last Friday Valve announced in the official blog "There's also still time to collect all 36 potatoes. Anyone accomplishing this feat by the time Portal 2 launches will receive a very special, non-hat-based reward." An extra incentive for people to play the games involved and collect the potatoes. I spent most of the last days collecting all 36 potatoes, got the last one just hours before the deadline.
Today everyone with a golden potato got the reward, a valve complete pack and a copy of portal2. I'm honestly impressed. I never would have expected them to not only give out all their previous games ($100), but also a free copy of their latest game they just released yesterday ($50).
Impressive move Valve, even if I was irritated at buying the game on steam on pre-order and then seeing Amazon and Best Buy drop the price shortly before release by 10$, the ARG and the potatoes blew everything out of the water. So now I have a few copies of games I already owned to give out 🙂

I haven't posted here for a while. One of the reasons is that I started posting more day-to-day stuff on facebook, but the main reason was that the last few months my wife and I have been busy organizing stuff. She got a job offer over here, so December and January we were busy getting everything organized to move from Germany to USA. In December we flew over for a week to get an apartment rented, buy a car, set up a bank account, insurance, … all the fun stuff you go through when moving to a new place. Let it be said, that christmas time is not the advised time to organize such stuff :-p
Steffi flew in on the 15th, and I came over a week later. And now our new home is in (the cold) Twin Cities 🙂 Our internet conenction isn't going to be installed till Feb 1st (along with phone and TV), so I don't have much to do except for cleaning the appartment, assembling furniture (IKEA is just around the corner) and shopping … and of course keeping an eye out for interresting jobs here. I'll keep you all posted on how things are going here, If the sun ever comes out I'll go out to shoot some photos.
Yesterday Steffi and I went geocaching, I took some photos while we were underway ….

I never got around to posting it, but a few weeks back the hard drive of my PC with Windows on it died … a little bit. Technically a large chunk of the harddrive is simply unaccessable. after poking and pushing I at least got windows to boot up again, but a large part of the software was dead. I bough a new drive and went through the fun process of installing a fresh windows, patching it, and then installing all the software again.
I didn't get around to installing my video and picture software on the new windows until this morning, and it turned out to be lots of fun. Due to pure luck I found the license key for sony vegas (it is shown in the splash screen when starting up, shortly before it crashes due to my harddisk malfunction). Any Photomatix was where I keep most licenses stored. But my Photoshop license was more of a challenge. Adobe only allows 2 activated copies of the software per license, activated copies are bound to hardware … you probably see where this is going. I couldn't deactivate the old installation since the harddrive was kinda dead, and the new installation says "different hardware (new harddrives), must be a different computer". Yay, fun. The bright side was that the support was easily contacted and they could reset the activation counter (after lecturing me about using it on "2 computers" and deactivating, bla bla bla). I learned one thing: the more expensive the software, the more problems you have with licenses. A shame I never liked Gimp for photo editing.
Wife did some baking tonight, so I whipped out the camera and took some shots. Unfortunately I noticed that the flash hot shoe seems to have gone unresponsive after a fall a few weeks ago, but using the built-in flash as a commander to control an off-camera flash still works fine.

Anyone who missed it on Facebook: we visited Savona (Italy), Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca (both Spain), Tunis (Tunisia), La Valletta (Malta), Cantania and Rom (both Italy). Anyway, here is a selection of some of the photos. Took me the better of the day to sort out which photos were worth while posting, and then post-processing them.

I always shoot in RAW + JPEG. For normal point-and-shoot vacation stuff I'm generally satisfied with the JPEG the camera spits out. But I would never shoot only JPEG. The additional information of RAW shouldn't be underestimated, and to be honest I often tweak around. It makes a difference if you are working on the original RAW data, or if you are working on the JPEG copy the camera has already processed.
Up till now I've been post-processing my images with Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS3. Since I was planning on post-processing a whole load of pictures I decided to see what software there is out there to streamline the work flow a bit (Bridge and CS3 do the job, and the raw converter in CS3 does offer a wide variety of options, but it is still tedious switching to be switching between both programs and working on multiple RAW images at the same time). While I was away, Adobe released Lightroom 3, so I checked out the reviews and it sounded good. I downloaded the 30 day trial version and to sum it up my experience so far … I'm impressed.
I haven't worked with Lightroom previously, so I can't say how much has changed in this version. But I really like the details that make life easier when handling collections of images. Being an Adobe product it also offers interfaces to various Photoshop functions (I only own CS3, I could imagine it offers more options if you have the current version CS5 installed). I could go on and on with things I like about it, but I'll just sum it up and say: It really streamlines the work flow of post-processing photographs from import to print/upload/web/presentation and if you are shooting RAW it has a whole lot of fun stuff to play around with directly built in.
Since I shoot with a Nikon D80 that tends to produce a fair amount of image noise if I go past ISO 400 I liked the noise reduction features of Lightroom, both color and luminance noise can be reduced greatly with sliders for fine tuning.
It's a good piece of software, and when the 30 day trial ends I'll probably go buy it.
I finished up my "grid clicker" script. it is intended to simplify testing of games where you have to click certain patterns (a grid). Typical facebook games like farmville or funfari are great examples of this. just download the file (here is the sourcecode), execute it, and an eye should appear in your task bar. Double clicking on the icon in your task bar will start the script, just follow the instructions and everything should be fine.
And while I am at it: here is a spreadsheet I started for plants/trees/animals in funfari: Google online spreadsheets
I haven't posted anything here in a while. Mostly I've been busy preparing a photo-shoot and -documentation of a wedding of friends. As a photographer you will always notice things, when looking at the finished fotos, where you say "hmm, maybe a differnet aperature/iso/flash/exposure setting would have produced an even better result". but all in all I'm satisfied with the results.
Spent a day this week driving around and taking random photos ….

I made some of my cookies this evening and used the opportunity to take some pictures. The lighting wasn't perfect, so everything has a slight yellow tint. I decided to leave the pictures that way instead of trying to correct the problem in Photoshop.
Yesterday we made a short trip to the castle in Schwetzingen, while we were there I took some photos around the castle.

I had Monday off work, so we went hiking in the Black Forest (southern Germany) the last 3 days. The first day we started hiking around Blumberg (I managed to twist my knee after a few km, didn't really make things easier), then we took a steam locomotive (Sauschwänzlebahn) up the hill and hiked back to the car. Afterwards we drove up to Titisee where we booked a hotel for 2 nights.

The next day we drove over to the Wutachschlucht and hiked a very nice trail. Since the weather was good and it was a Sunday there were a decent amount of people hiking. In the late afternoon we finally arrived at our destination, sat down and rested our feet before we took a bus back to where we parked the car.

On the last day we were a bit tired for hiking the last 2 days and the weather was getting a bit rainy, so we decided to take the scenic route home, and stop by waterfalls and ruins on the way.

7 Cool Neck Tattoos
Written byminerva
Tattoos placed on the head, neck, feet, and hands are often called "jobstoppers".
Well, coz if you got a tattoo on your face, or on your hands or neck, it would be difficult to cover them, and it would be kind of tricky to land a corporate job.
But I wouldn't trade any of these beautiful neck tattoos for a corporate job! Tattooing is the coolest job ever!

How many times have you heard the term 'disruptive' used when announcing tech innovations, new…
4 Productivity Hacks in Hiring Without Sacrificing Quality
How many Human Resources (HR) professionals have thought, "I wish I had less time to make a quality hire?" It can be safely assumed that the answer is, simply, none.
The hiring process is a dynamic and demanding one, and it is only made harder by impending deadlines and an overflowing stack of Curriculum Vitaes. But it doesn't have to be that way! It's possible to keep the quality of your hires while still amping up the productivity along the way. Below are the tried and true tricks for doing more recruitment work in less time (it's worth it, promise!).
1. Keep up with candidate engagement with automated emails.
In a perfect world, personalised emails could be sent to every candidate, regardless of status in the hiring process. The candidate experience is important and often overlooked, but how can you make the time to perfect it? There are multiple stages that candidates go through, from initial outreach to rejection after a lengthy interview process. Regardless, they will expect (and refresh their email inbox a thousand times looking for) correspondence.
Automated emails using email templates, if executed correctly, can help with this tremendously. Rather than sitting down and typing out candidate emails until your fingers fall off (sorry for the graphic visual, but it would likely happen), there are ways to streamline this process a bit. Take this template, for example:
It would be sent to candidates who are rejected just after shortlisting, so that they aren't left in the job seeking dark, so to speak. The placeholders, marked with brackets and blue text, could be customised to give an air of personalisation to the message.
2. Brief the whole team on the hiring process.
- After you have prepared the automated emails as detailed above, make sure all the other employees are in the same recruitment mindset. Hiring together saves time because there are more people to fill roles and duties. It's ideal for employees to want to chip in for the good of company growth (so don't force it, in other words)!
- With employee referral programs comes a great opportunity for quick, quality hires! Referred hires account for some of the top-notch employees out there, but are rarely used. As long as guidelines, tools for sourcing candidates, and incentives are in place, it is a surefire way to enhance your hiring productivity. They will be hired quickly and assimilate in less time than a regular hire would.
- Clear job descriptions are important to attract qualified candidates, as well as to give the whole office an idea of what is preferred in a hire. That clear, ideal hire should be decided on as a team as soon as the position is open. If everyone weighs in on position requirements, the hire will be more likely to fit in and add value to the company.
3. Establish employer brand early on.
Create an awesome-looking careers site! A careers site that showcases who you are as an employer helps attract the right talent, right away, saving both parties tons of time. How will someone know that they want to apply to your company if they can't envision themselves working there? Use employee testimonials, team photos, or quirky videos to build your employer brand and highlight what your company can do for the professional career of your next hire.
4. Make use of talent pools.
Keep active talent pools, whether you are actively hiring or not. Sourcing all year round isn't something that hiring teams normally think about doing, but it can save so much time in the long run. Storing potential candidate information in an easy-to-access place allows you to reach out to top talent quickly. The job market is nothing if not fast-paced, so it's crucial to be time-sensitive with your recruitment outreach.
With these new time-savers, you are ready to start putting together the quickest, most efficient hiring strategy you have ever used! Just remember to continuously optimise the hiring process along the way. Track your progress, and identify areas of weakness that are slowing you down. Now and then, read this article again for a refresher of how to cut down on time and increase new hire quality.

Hookless shower curtain must have happened to you before, every time you have a shower you find some water outside of the tub. Many people think that this water comes from the gap between the curtain rod and the curtain itself, the gap that has the hooks in it. So what is the solution? Remove the gap of course. The new shower curtain design comes with no hooks at all, the curtain itself has big holes along its long edge where the pole comes through. By doing this, you eliminate the gap between the rod and the curtain; which minimizes the leakage of water to a minimum.
The brilliant design of the hookless shower curtain deserves an award, as it minimizes water leakage and therefore accidents of slipping. This great design is very suitable for elder people and children, as they may step out of the tub unaware. Slipping accidents in bathroom will be minimized, and no one will be afraid of getting injured while showering or afterwards. The designs are in wide range, from plain colors to many prints and patterns.
All the materials that are used to produce a hookless shower curtain are water proof, they vary from treated cloth to plastic. Cloth can be treated to have a water proof layer, so it can be used without getting wet. Some people prefer cloth because it is easier to have prints on it, and also it is thicker and gives more protection. On the other hand, plastic shower curtains are also favorable because they are light and semi-transparent. Plastic shower curtains also have the option of carved drawings on it, which is a great option to have.
When it comes to choosing your shower curtain, everyone will advise you get a hookless one. It is easier to install and much safer than any other hooked curtain. When it comes to the choice, hookless shower curtain gives you the opportunity to choose from a very wide variety. Designs and materials vary from one designer to another, and you will find whatever you need.

Your cabinet door style can be one of the most important factors in your kitchen's new design. Not only are cabinet doors one of the most visible design elements in a kitchen, but they can also be one of the most expensive. From the elaborate to the simple, there's a door style for every home design. Take a look at some of the better-known styles here and see which will work for your home's style and your budget.
Take a look at these different types of cabinet door styles to decide what best fits in within your design plan, budget and style.
1. Shaker Panel
The Shaker-style cabinet door is the most common door style in kitchens today. This five-piece flat-panel style has a frame made from four pieces and a single flat center panel for the fifth piece.
Shaker cabinetry gets its name from the distinctive Shaker furniture style, which uses simple, clean lines and emphasizes utility. Shaker-style doors became popular because their simple style lends itself to just about any decor — from contemporary to traditional — with variations in wood species, stains, paint colors and hardware.
2. Flat Panel
Simple but stylish, the flat-panel cabinet door is void of any expensive details. Its hard lines and minimalist form make it a great fit for contemporary and modern interiors.
Many flat doors come in decorative laminate or wood. Laminate tends to be more budget friendly and offers a greater variety of colors and sheens.
3. Inset Panel
Although this style tends to be one of the most expensive on the market, it's a classic look that'll last for generations. The inset door gets its name because it is set inside of the cabinet frame — typical cabinet doors rest on the outside of the frame. The door is designed and constructed with extremely precise measurements so that it nests inside the frame and opens and closes properly, even when the wood expands and contracts.
This door style usually requires exposed hinges rather than the typical concealed hinges of other door styles that are included in the cost of the cabinet box.
4. Distressed Panel
If you've always dreamed of having an antique-style kitchen, then you'll love the distressed-looking cabinets available from most manufacturers. Choose any door style and opt to have the corners rubbed off or have other distressing techniques done for that age-old feeling.
5. Beadboard Panel
Love cottage style? It doesn't get more cottage chic than beadboard. The center panel of the cabinet doors in this style are made to look like traditional beadboard paneling. Beadboard was used in the past as a decorative wall treatment before plaster, drywall and paint became common.
While all-white beadboard cabinetry can give your kitchen a bright and clean feel, all the little cracks and crevasses on this door style can be a pain to keep clean.
6. What Not to Choose: Thermofoil Cabinets
These doors are molded out of MDF (medium-density fiberboard), wrapped in a plastic-type coating and then baked under intense heat to create an impervious seal. Durable and cost effective, they come only in solid colors and imitation wood grain.
Often mass-produced, thermofoil cabinetry comes at very competitive price points. It's durable, but it's also extremely difficult to repair any damage to it. Some lighter colors can also yellow from sunlight and heat over time.
