I don't need to remind anyone about the power of content marketing, it's everywhere these days from Hungry Jacks to Uber. But, what exactly is content marketing and how is it best carried out?
With a quick Google search, you'll see that content marketing is the use of online material in order to promote. Well, that's a good start, but in reality, it's much more than that.
Content marketing is a subtle art. Above all else, it's about ensuring that your company has some connection in people's everyday lives, without them feeling like you're giving them hard sell constantly. It's about making use of every way that the internet age provides you to get your company into the minds of the general population and keeping it there- without driving them mad in the process.
Browsing Instagram yesterday I came across the account from Rolex, and it got me thinking. Who in the world doesn't know what a Rolex watch is? Why does a company so massive need to be on a platform like Instagram (a site for sharing holiday snaps with friends and taking photos of your breakfast)? They have a beautiful website, so, what's the point?
Well, 5.9 million followers are the point.
A website is all well and good, but it doesn't mix. It's like someone at a party standing in the corner and keeping to themselves. The personal nature of Instagram is why brands flock to it. One minute you're scrolling past Dwayne The Rock Johnson working out at the gym and then you're seeing a Rolex. That's something that doesn't happen anywhere else.
Another good example is a company like Deliveroo. Almost the polar opposite of a brand like Rolex in that Deliveroo is quite new. It's a company that is heavily involved in a not insignificant shift in the restaurant industry and the way that people dine. It's essentially a courier company for food, and you've no doubt seen their bicycles all over the city with distinctive branding.
Deliveroo does a lot of content marketing, but it's not so apparent, which means it's working. They run a Foodscene which is a site that looks a cross between a food blog and an online magazine. And it's fascinating.
What these articles do is stir up interest and in turn brand recognition. Even though they're discussing things like up and coming restaurants and smoothie trends (which isn't exactly world-shattering content), it's doing it's primary job- creating an everyday presence. The articles are then shared by Deliveroo's Twitter or Facebook and deliver bite-sized (pun intended) content daily to more than a million people.
Content marketing is indeed an art, both simple and sophisticated simultaneously. And, one thing is for sure: it's quickly becoming a requirement for any business wanting to thrive online.
When you hear the word "story", what do you think of? Is it "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" because it was your favourite? Or something more classic like "The Great Gatsby" or "Taming of the Shrew". Either way, you have a base notion on what a story is and what it should be. It's so embedded in your brain that I don't have to say anything more than the word "story" and you've already thought of one.
So why do these specific stories enter your mind? Maybe it's one you remember from high school or one your mother read to you. No matter the way you remember it, it means something to you — and at the middle of any story should be meaning.
Why is it children are still taught Shakespeare in school? Why do we all know of the "Three Little Pigs" when half of the world's most popular stories were written hundreds of years ago in a dialect we no longer practice? The answer lies in the fact that stories (good ones at least) have an incredible generational impact. When a story is well written it has far-reaching power.
Every day that your business puts out content, sells products or solves problems it's telling a story. It's your job to shape what is said. Every individual company has a story, it doesn't matter if you sell beds or manage AdWords— your company has a story to be told.
You may have read this and said to yourself, "Ben, I work for an accounting firm, and there's not much I can do to make that interesting". Every company can tell a compelling story, regardless of how 'bland' their product or service may seem.
Have a look at this LG commercial for its line of washing machines. I know that isn't the most appealing sounding commercial (especially if you're not in the market for a new washing machine), just trust me.
Watched it? That was a simple piece of storytelling with a sale in mind. LG wanted to show off how stable their machine was, and they found an ingenious way to do it. Does a deck of cards have anything to do with the washing machine's primary function? No, but it sure made LG stand out, and would be in your mind come your trip to Harvey Norman.
Have a look at this from Pepsi.
Now, what did that have to do with Pepsi? The answer is nothing really. There wasn't even a mention of Pepsi in it, and the first logo we saw was right at the end. However, it's got almost 16 million views. That translates to more brand recognition which translates to sales.
Videos are a great way to tell a story, but infographics can work the same and at a fraction of the cost. Have a look at these:
Those are all visually appealing and make the information they're trying to share easily digestible. All of these factors make them another way to tell a compelling story.
When you break it down, you don't have to be the centre of a story for it to be great, you just need to tell a good story that reflects positively on you as a company.
So ask yourself, what story are you telling?.
The constant flow of change is complex, yet interwoven in the world of digital marketing.
The trends don't work alone, rather they work together to accelerate and amplify the way we market our businesses. Faster and cheaper telecommunication, as well as wifi, made broadband as essential as electricity. Mobile phones gave rise to social networks, their in-built cameras adding unquantifiable amounts of content in an already deafening online world.
Faster change and complexity are now the norm. With all that said, which digital marketing trends are driving change, and how do we keep up?
I don't just say that because I run a digital marketing agency. Promise!
Honestly, digital marketing has never really been free. Social networks, however, gave us a short taste of that. Not anymore.
When most of us (myself included) discovered digital marketing, the only way to pay for attention was banner ads on websites. Yahoo was the king of that. That was the 90s.The 90s were a strange time. Then in the early 2000s, the rise of Google lead to a new digital advertising option: search advertising.
This was a way to make money that offered rivers of gold as it was relatively cheap to advertise online. Like any good business though, Google changed the rules and increased the rates, much like Facebook have in the last few years.
Now, it's a two horse race.
The concentration of revenue and the ownership of platforms means that advertising options may be complex, but are still concentrated. Snapchat is trying to wedge their way in after going public, but it has some major work to do if it wishes to make a dent on the two massive incumbents of Facebook and Google.
Today, the way online marketing works mean you either need the skills within your company or you need a partner. And yes, I just linked back to my company SponsoredLinX. It's kind of our speciality.
One thing the rise of social networks did was humanize the web.
Being online was no longer the domain of the geeks. It was sleek and easy. You published a Facebook post or a blog, you could Tweet, or upload your own videos with absolute ease. You created your own content and built an organic distribution by growing your follower count.
This is now more complex with more networks, more diverse digital advertising options, and more types of content.
So how does one keep up?
More tools…or better ones?
The choices within digital technology have also exploded, and the number of tech tools available for marketers has been estimated at over 4000. With that sheer volume, the only way to manage the rising complexity is with marketing automation. There are many options, which means choosing is difficult.
There are the platforms that aim to be "all in one" tools, like Marketo, Infusionsoft and Hubspot to name a few, that can assist in scaling your marketing. There are also tools for growing your social media followers with automation like SociallyRich for Instagram and Social Quant for Twitter. Then there are tools for moderating comments- BrandBastion.
Marketing automation is still in its early phase, and the next trend is where it'll start to get interesting.
Live streaming video is, in my humble opinion, the hottest trend in digital marketing right now.
As per usual, Google was the first to innovate with the advent of Google Hangouts. However, an app called Meerkat was the first live video streaming app that caught mass attention. Then it was Blab, and then Periscope. Only the latter survives thanks to its acquisition by a small startup called Twitter. You may have heard of them.
When Facebook Live was launched in 2015 though, the game changed.
So, why live stream?
My cousin Mark Zuckerberg* has suggested that people comment ten times more and watch 300% longer on live videos over regular ones. In terms of marketing, that kind of engagement is gold. However, it can feel a bit saturated when everyone's doing it. I know my timeline is full of random companies live streaming launches nobody but themselves care about. So, be careful when beaming yourself to the world without creating a presence first.
*Mark Zuckerberg is not my cousin
So, that's part one. Check back here next week where I'll be looking at the rise of algorithms, the unstoppable force of AI, and influencer marketing.
Stay tuned.
Marketing campaigns can be tricky to get right. On one hand, you want your ad to stand out and be seen as different from everything else around – but on the other, if you go too far in the direction of controversy you risk it backfiring tremendously. And when it comes to marketing for a non-profit, the thought of taking large risks can seem even more daunting…which is why Donate Life's latest ad is so unexpectedly brilliant. (more…)

Pre-empting that I might be assigned the task of making reservation for dinner after our meeting, I downloaded the list of eateries at The Gardens and did some homework ( read: blog search) as well. Having a mixture of foreigners and locals, it was kinda not easy to make a decision and Mr 2nd boss, decide not to take a risk on food and suggested Madam Kwan – and it's not even at The Gardens lah.
Note:please make reservations , as it might turn out to be a long wait especially for peak dining hours and especially if you have some hungry people that will literally kill for food.
Mr 2nd Boss did the ordering – (that is my excuse if the names of the dishes in this article turn up to be not too correct).
The drinks came first, I had ice kacang, plenty of condiments including : cendol, cincau, raisins, red bean, attap seeds, corn and the occasional cashew nut ( I know ice kacang is classified as 'dessert' lah…but, I would rather have this than a drink mah) . Some of the guys had Kirin or Tiger but complained that the beers weren't at the right temperature and asked for ice cubes, I dunno about you, it's not often that I see ice cubes in beers…
We had : Asam prawns ( lotsa onions and taste so good ), curry chicken ( very rich, and yes, we noticed that someone was greedy and took 2 pieces) , rendang was tender, char koay teow….hmmmm..pretty close to Penang standard lah, fried rice – ok, I liked the ladies finger dish, fried kalian – ok, sotong – I didn't try this, but seeing that the rest cleaned this up – should be good. I was hoping that they will order petai prawn just to catch the reactions of the mat sallehs but they didn't let me indulge lah.
There was a dare going on between the 2 Aussies on ordering and finishing the ice kacang, and this guy had a problem swallowing the cendol and cincau and we have to assure him that the green and black 'worms' are safe to be eaten .. they made one observation : beer taste lousy after ice kacang.
One of the policy of the organization is that the highest in the hierarchy should be paying the bill but Mr Big Boss refused to sign for the bill and we were all curious on his hesitation- turn out that a bill with the heading of Madam Kwan, might be misunderstood by his boss who approves the bill that it's a bill for some err.. extra-curricular activities
Overall: the group were happy with the food.
Other stuff on the menu : Nasi Lemak, Curry Laksa, Mushroom Chicken Mee, Nasi Bojari, Curry Fish Head, Cendol

Hi all,
I can't really believe I have not written about ShareLaTeX before.
ShareLaTeX is an online editor of LaTeX files, with utilities such as previsualization, easy upload/download options, and what is even better, collaborative and free!
I've used it for years now successfully for my last papers, and I can say that it is easy, effective and works!
However, there are things I don't like: there are some premium features not free, such as synchronization with Dropbox, track changes or connection with Github. These are amazing feats I would like to see in my free account. But I understand this is difficult to achieve unless Google comes and buy your site : )
In any case, I recommend it to everyone.

New Sleazy NBA Finals Rumor About LeBron James, Rashard Lewis
This is a terrible rumor. It's vaguely reminiscent of the Delonte West-Gloria James rumor from a year ago, but for some reason, not as funny. It has absolutely zero evidence to back it up, and in all likelihood, is completely false.
That being said, it's already trending on Twitter, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be on Colin Cowherd's show by tomorrow morning in some poorly thought out rant regarding father figures or whatever else Cowherd likes to blabber about.
So here is a brief summary of what's being discussed: once-upon-a-time solid, now-awful NBA player Rashard Lewis allegedly slept with LeBron James' girlfriend Savannah. The story was born on a site called "HelloBeautiful.com," and here is what they posted on the matter:
Looks like Lebron James lackluster performance in this year's NBA playoffs is related to yet another off the court drama. Word on the street is that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebron's girl Savannah while he was visiting South Beach.
Here's what I found out:
I have a very reliable source who clubs and drinks with all of the athletes that come through Orlando. He was all over the Tiger Woods issue and knew what all happened with Tiger prior to it being released publicly. My buddy has a place in Orlando, Lake Nona to be exact, and he lives among some athletes that live there in Orlando. Needless to say he golfs, drinks, and parties with some of the best people in central Florida. So when word got to him while at the bar last night, he called me. Word got out while drinking with friends, that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebrons girl while visiting South Beach.
ESPN's analyst Stephen A. Smith recently said on his radio show that Bron Bron is going through personal off court issues and that's the reason for his poor play on the final.
I don't have all the details but Lebron really need to keep the women in his life in check!

Hopefully legitimate NBA analysts pick this story up and run with it like they did during their effort to sabotage the Los Angeles Lakers.

London based illustrator, sculptor and designer Jethro Haynes might be adding photographer to that list of specialties after we saw this recent underwater series. Having no further explanation on his site we had to delve a little deeper…
You describe yourself as an illustrator, sculptor, designer. What's your background?
I've just always been into design and aesthetics, even before I knew what they were. I need to be creative to make myself feel as if I'm actually doing something worth existing for. I've always built and drawn things because it makes me happy. I went to art college and all that jazz, I studied fashion, general art and design and then animation. Although I'd say I'm self-taught, college was at least good for experimenting and using materials. Skateboarding was a far bigger influence on my work than college. You learn about yourself and look at your immediate environment in new ways, which is far more important than passing some course. So I suppose my background is one of wondering what could be, and how it could be.
If you could add anything else to your skill set what would it be?
The ability to make some money would be helpful.
Can you tell us more about the underwater photography series.
I've been completely in love with the underwater world for as long as I can remember. I've been snorkeling since I was a little kid, and I love diving too. I bought an underwater housing for my digital camera this summer and went to the Red Sea just to take pictures of sea life and seascapes because it's all so amazing, psychedelic and beautiful.
The series is all about repeating forms to create a sense of containment, order and self- sufficiency within the confinement of the sea itself. Different worlds for your mind to inhabit. You can look at it as it is, or you can let your imagination just run wild and see all kinds of different beasts and objects both real and unreal, beautiful and disturbing. They reference how nature is so interconnected as far as shape and form goes. Imagine if there were no coral reefs on earth and one day images were sent from a probe visiting another planet or galaxy depicting all this insanity. It would be the most bonkers alien thing, people would become obsessed, freak out, start religions etc. But as it's part of this planet, and common knowledge, most people take it for granted and can't see how nuts it all is. Everything is connected and I'm trying to convey a sense of separateness as a chance to exist without the influence of other factors. To make individual worlds and places that do, but don't actually exist.

Valley Forward Association and University of Phoenix Offer Full-Tuition Scholarship for Arizona TeachersBy : UOPX News | October 3, 2011
PHOENIX (Oct. 3, 2011) – Valley Forward Association, in partnership with University of Phoenix, is offering a full-tuition scholarship to Arizona K-12 teachers in an effort to expand its environmental education outreach. The scholarship will allow a prospective student the opportunity to obtain a Master of Arts in Education (MAED) degree at University of Phoenix.
The purpose of the scholarship program is to provide educational opportunities to local teachers who have demonstrated sustainable practices in their classroom and want to continue to make a difference in their community. This opportunity is being offered in conjunction with Valley Forward's seventh annual EarthFest Educators Night, where K-12 teachers will receive complimentary resources on environmental education that meet state standards and learn how to green their school. Educators can apply for the scholarship at the event, presented in partnership with Central Arizona Project, University of Phoenix and a host of other sponsors.
Held at The Phoenix Zoo on Oct. 26, this innovative event combines entertainment and education, showcasing environmentally oriented curriculum, activities and programs on Arizona's unique desert character. Teachers can also attend an environmental education workshop on integrating sustainability into the classroom taught by a University of Phoenix instructor. More than 50 booths representing public and private sector environmental education programs, along with exhibits from the non-profit and educational communities, will be featured. Other attractions for teachers include giveaways, complimentary refreshments and resources that help in the classroom.
"Our local teachers have done so much for our community with fewer resources, and many have gone above and beyond to educate their students about the importance of sustainability," said Diane Brossart, president of Valley Forward Association. "We are thrilled to be partnering with University of Phoenix to offer educators the opportunity to further their own education."
University of Phoenix's MAED degree program is designed to meet the specific needs of educators through eight different specializations. Each area of specialization offers courses to enhance and refine the skills of the individual, whether an administrator, a classroom teacher or a corporate trainer. Scholarship recipients may attend classes on campus or online.
The scholarship application deadline is Nov. 29, 2011, and recipients will be announced by Jan. 13, 2012. To obtain a copy of University of Phoenix's Valley Forward Scholarship application, teachers can visit valleyforward.org or phoenix.edu/scholarships.

Hinshaw: It has to be at least several
hours. You have to get observations from
the school or at least ratings from the
teacher, normed ratings from parents
and a really good developmental history
of the child. These are things you can't
do in a quick 10-minute office visit.
But the national standard is for very
quick diagnoses, which will certainly
lead to over-diagnoses, because you can
mistake all kinds of things for ADHD.
But paradoxically, it also leads to under-diagnoses because some doctors will say,
"He wasn't tearing up the waiting room,"
or "She sat very still in the office, so she
can't have ADHD." Well, unless you see
the child doing homework or when other
people are giving directions, you'll miss it.
We also need reimbursement for
these thorough assessments so we're not
tempted to rule in or rule out ADHD on
the basis of very flimsy evidence.
Scheffler: Psychologists also need to
understand this academic pressure that
happens in the schools, and make their
diagnoses carefully because they may be
getting kids sent to them due to these
Psychologists are the gatekeepers, and
they have a lot of responsibility to look
into this and make sure they take the
time to look into the school, societal and
parental pressures while doing a careful
In addition, treating the kid
without getting the family and the
school involved is not optimal. The
problem with an ADHD diagnosis is
that it's a catchall for lots of things.
It's hyperactivity, it's focus, executivefunction and the like, but usuallythe best treatment is to also considerinvolving the family and teachers inbehavioral strategies to help improvefocus, and to have everyone lined up todeal with this. n

BrickShooter (Windows Mobile)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
DescriptionBrickShooter is a tile (brick) eliminating puzzle that take place on a hundred cell playing field. This grid is walled by tiles, three rows thick, on each edge. The game will start with a assortment of several bricks placed on the grid. By matching three or more bricks of the same color you'll remove them and get points. Matching occurs when similar colored bricks become contiguous. Clearing the hundred cell field will give you a bonus after which new bricks will be set up inside it. The game ends when it becomes impossible to move any bricks.
Once a brick is selected it will start its travel across the field. When it comes in contact with a brick it will stop its journey. However, should the obstacle be removed the brick will continue in the direction it was originally moving. Only bricks that will hit another brick on an interior cell can be selected for movement.

Below you will find a list of Forex Brokers keeping own Social Trading Networks. Beside the option to trade in foreign exchange markets, clients have the opportunity to examine stats and copy trades of other network members. In essence, one can become either a signal provider or a signal receiver or both. Share your trading experience, compile investing portfolios, upgrade and develop trading strategies with help of others – there is a whole lot of possibilities when it comes to the social trading. Most brokers have own proprietary social platform with specific features. Therefore, it's highly recommended to take time and explore several networks before settling down.
Social trading was a concept introduced into the forex market in 2006. The idea was to provide a system where traders with expertise could sell this knowledge to other traders who were less experienced or knowledgeable, in the form of trading signals. To put it in another way, the social trading platform would provide an engine which would permit less experienced traders copy the trades of the experienced ones, while engaging further on a less formal basis on the blog section of the platform. Those who copy the trades would pay a token for them, which would be split between the platform provider and the traders being copied.
The concept of social trading arose out of a great need to shorten the learning curve of traders, and to get them to start being profitable. What better way than to directly pick the brains of those who were already ahead in the game, and to do it in a symbiotic atmosphere where everyone in the arrangement would benefit.
– The expert traders (known as Leaders) would get paid by each trader that followed them and copied their signals. Considering that some Leaders get as many as 3,000 followers, this arrangement could provide a great second income stream for such Leaders.
– Inexperienced or unprofitable traders (the Followers or Investors) who choose to copy the trades of the Leaders end up paying a token to get potentially profitable signals sent their way. This arrangement gives them a good chance to profit from the market.
– The platform providers who bring Leaders and Followers together also get a portion of the payments for their services and for providing the copy trade engine.
A look at the institutional trading setups will show that trading is essentially a social activity. A typical dealing desk department which takes in orders from traders and decides which to fill in-house and which to route to the interbank market, is made up of teams of up to 30 persons. These persons do different jobs and they work cohesively to ensure that the market making operation remains profitable.
When we look at prop trading firms and institutional/commercial trading entities like the dealing desks of investment banks or hedge funds, we also see that these are made up of teams with an established order of hierarchy among traders. This hierarchy is derived purely by merit and level of expertise.
But the picture is very different when we get to the retail end of the market. Most individual traders are lone rangers who operate without help or mentorship. There is no oversight, and no one to take such traders by the hands and show them the way in a market where it is easy to get lost in the maze. The end results are therefore hardly surprising: 90% of these traders will lose their accounts in 90 days. In contrast, nearly all institutional trading setups are profitable to the tune of 95%.
From this analysis, it is easy to pinpoint the problem: individual traders trying to go it alone or do it all by themselves, especially when there has been no period of training or mentorship.
Social trading has therefore emerged as a concept to help bridge this gap, not just by enabling losing traders copy the profitable ones and hopefully turn things around, but also providing a platform for engagement with these traders in the blog sections, so as to understand the thinking behind the Leader's strategy and trading styles. This last bit is what separates social trading platforms from the regular signals services that only give out fish (signals) without teaching the subscribers how to catch fish on their own.
The key to a successful social trading career for any Follower is the ability to select good Leaders. It is a process that requires some form of know-how and is not something to be taken lightly. The job of the social trading broker is to provide a platform that helps Followers pick the right Leaders, weeds out traders who are not qualified to be classified as Leaders, and enable only those who have the right credentials to serve as Leaders on these platforms. We have scanned many of these social trading platforms and can authoritatively state that many of them lack these basics.
This is why we have developed a template that was used in selecting the social trading providers listed below. The metrics used in composing the selection template are stated below.
A) Profitability Chart
It is not enough to simply see Leaders on the dashboard with profit stats that run into 3 or 4 figures. You have to know the facts behind the numbers. How can you detect a Leader who overleveraged a position and used a trade size that was beyond risk management limits, to achieve one-off results that pushed profitability stats into the 3-figure range? This is where the profitability chart comes in. Here, we look at how the trader's profits were made. A chart that slopes upward at a 45 degree trajectory is a good indication that proper risk management in several trades, and not excessive risk in a one-hit-wonder, is the reason behind the profit stats. In contrast, a choppy chart which shows steep slopes to the upside and downside, is indicative of huge risks taken in trades, leading to sharp jumps or sharp falls in the chart. A social trading broker should be able to provide this chart for Leader selection.
B) Risk Score
The Risk Score is an internal algorithm that is used by the social trading platform to calculate how conservative or risky a Leader's strategy is. It is usually graded from 1 – 10, with lower figures being the more conservative and the higher figures resulting from riskier strategies. Any social trading broker worth its salt must provide a Risk Scoring algorithm to make it easy for beginners to select Leaders whose strategies are not excessively risky.
C) Time Graphs
How can you tell traders whose performances are based on only 1 month's history, and those whose performances are as a result of 1 year's trading and therefore of greater reliability than the former? This is why time graphs or at least an information bar which states how long a Leader has been trading is something a social trading broker must provide.
D) Ease of Copy Trade Application
It is not only on the side of the Followers that a social trading broker needs to provide certain facilities. Leaders worth their salt also deserve to have the best that a social trading broker can provide. For instance, it should be easy for traders proposing to be Leaders to get proper ranking and evaluation based on parameters that actually matter. It should also be easy for Followers to copy a Leader that suits their preferences. The social trading platform should also provide a Leaderboard that should be easy to work with. Leaders should not suffer from revenue loss because the display algorithms make it hard for Followers to find them. These are things that a social trading broker should be able to put in place.

The 49ers had a surplus of linebackers, and continue to turn them into future surplus draft picks.
The Colts announced they acquired Cam Johnson from the 49ers for a conditional draft pick.
The former seventh-round pick spent most of last year on the practice squad, and gives the Colts some pass-rush potential.
The 49ers previously pawned Parys Haralson off on the Saints, as they were encouraged by the progress of rookie Corey Lemonier and the versatility of veteran Dan Skuta.

Before and after!
When my husband and I were first married my Mother in law gave us her old bedroom set, I was very grateful for it and it has served us well over the last 8 1/2 years. But it has been awhile and we needed new ones, you can see that it is chipped and the color is old fashioned now and not the in the vintage way everyone loves.
A close up of the handles
So I painted it! I used this blog post exclusively as my guide and I am very impressed by how well it turned out. It is a laminate peice and I really wasn't sure how it would turn out, now I can't even tell what it used to look like or that it is laminate!
I painted the handles as well but I'm not sure if they will stay that color I'm trying to decide if I like the contrast like I thought I would. Any suggestions? I thought about brass but I am not a fan of it...sooo I'm kind of lost on that one.
BEFORE and AFTER
My whole house is under going a makeover, I seriously need a nicer looking house and this will be the first post of "hopefully" many more to come on my journey to a more decorated/nicer home.
Oh and here is the dresser I got for $70 for the other part of our room. I really love it! I painted it too but it wasn't in bad enough shape for a before and after photo. I will most likey be changing the handles too.
I'm so excited to have a new room!!!!!

Imagine the tractor (front part of the truck) is you, your mind of intelligence and reasoning. It's the "power" of your mind. Next, imagine the steering wheel as your "will". This illustrates the way God created us….

You can see my first blog ULearn11 - learning, discovering, trying it out for myself to see the beginning of my blogging journey nearly three years ago.
I started off in Twitter very slow. It was fits and bursts, slowly finding people to follow. Going to Educamp in early November 2011 helped. It gave me the opportunity to see how even though we were in the same room we could communicate not only verbally but virtually and with people elsewhere in the country who could not be there, therefore widening the discussion and learning possibilities.
The Rugby World Cup and the elections in 2011 were other opportunities to have a blat on Twitter too.
But that first year, through till ULearn 2012, I felt more of a voyeur than a participant. At ULearn 2012 I began to use Twitter much more. During breakouts I would have my laptop with me and this made it easy for me to write my notes directly into my blog, go straight to the websites discussed and so on. But in the keynotes I struggled with my laptop on my knee in a confined space and was often running short on battery. I had recently purchased a cheap and nasty tablet, so I started tweeting on that to take notes of the keynote. That worked a treat. It meant later that I was able to go back to my tweets (and those of others I had retweeted) to reflect on what was said and blog it as part of my reflections.
Sometime in early 2013 I discovered #edchatNZ on every second Thursday night, and I started getting involved in Twitter chats. This is a great chat because it encompasses teachers and non-teachers from all education sectors and really gets some great debate going on a variety of teaching, learning, professional and educationally political matters.
I've also fallen into other chats at various points, but this one I Storified below I accidentally started one Thursday night that wasn't an #edchatNZ night but got people talking: Sadly Storify has deleted itself from the Social Media landscape and none of my Storifies exist anymore. 😭😭😭😭
The key phrase that has emerged in the last few years has been PLN or Personal Learning Network. As teachers we are developing these networks, communicating with a range of teachers we may otherwise not have encountered.
We talk on Twitter, and sometimes Facebook through various networks, and sometimes we meet face to face at Educamps, Eduignite, ULearn, ConnectED, or at some other form of professional development. Sometimes we meet up because we've actually developed friendships.
And #edchatNZ is actually hosting its first face to face unconference in August. Check out this poster and go to the BlogSpot for more info or just ask on Twitter using #edchatNZ to find out more:
I talk to a range of primary, intermediate and secondary teachers as well as facilitators on Twitter, principals too, and sometimes BOT members of various schools. I am unsure how many ECE teachers are engaged, but it would be great to get more involved.
But I also communicate with politicians, sports people, media, comedians, musicians, actors and many other amazingly funny, creative, thought provoking, interesting Twerps and Tweachers. I may have started off slow, but I am now over 11,000 tweets into this journey and it is amazing.
Kevin Honeycutt (@kevinhoneycutt) said at ULearn12 that Twitter has your back. I can say that you can put something out to your PLN and they will respond and an amazing conversation will be thrown back to you. This happened to me in March, accidentally again, when I posted The Classroom Environment - what makes a class attractive? What followed when I posted that blog up was four hours on a Friday night of people sharing great artwork and project ideas from their classroom walls!!
I saved so many of those pictures for inspiration later on.
And that is the great thing about a PLN is that they inspire, advise, invigorate, spark new thinking, refocus, give a different point of view - and I can do it from the comfort of my bed in my pjs for free!!!

Shams ud-Din (Arabic: شمس الدین, also known as Amir Kulal Arabic: امیر کلال}; died 1363, born in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. His father was the scholar Saif ud-Din Hamza (سیف الدین حمزہ) a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Saif ud Din Hamza (sometimes called Saif ud-Din Kulal) was also Amir (chieftain) of Tribe of Kulal (Amir-i-Kulal), hence the title Amir. After Saif ud-Din Hamza's death Shams ud-Din took up the role of head of the tribe by which time his reputation as a scholar and religious figure had spread through Turkistan, and the title Amir-i-Kulal had become synonymous with Shams ud-Din, which stays to this day. He had number of students who later became prominent figures in history including Baha-ud-Din Naqshband and Amir Timur. He is buried at Sokhar (Sukhar), near Bukhara. After rise of the Timurid Dynasty a symbiotic relationship began between the houses of Amir Timur and Amir Kulal which continued through the Mughal line in India.
It might be noted here that Amir Kulal's grandfather (also called Shams ud-Din) was the spiritual mentor of Barlas Tribe and Turghai (Amir Timur's father) and is buried at Shahrisabz. Sometimes Amir Kulal's grandfather is confused with Amir Kulal (both having the same name).
Shams ud-Din's father, Amir Saif ud Din Hamza (امیر سیف الدین حمزہ) was head of the Kulal Tribe and a direct descendant of Husain ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad. In fact the entire tribe of Kulal had descended from Muhammad and settled at Vabkent (Wabkana)–30 kilometers north of Bukhara. Around 1340 the city was visited by Ibn Battuta (1304–1359) who spent a night there as a guest. Ibn Battuta described the small city of Vabkent as beautiful with many gardens and rivers.[1] Kulal Tribe had settled at Vabkent a number of generations back, near the end of the twelfth century. Their date of settlement can be approximated with the madrasa which was constructed at Vabkent in 1198 under the patronage of Burhan ud-Din Abdul Aziz II, whose name adorns madrasa's minaret, the only surviving segment of the building. It is interesting to note here that the engineers working on construction of the madrasa were all from the Kulal Tribe and copied the Kalyan Mosque (Po-i-Kalyan) style, though few upgrades were made in the design and technology. In essence the Vabkent Madrasa was a more refined form of Kalyan Mosque.[2]
Kulal Tribe quickly established a small industrial base at the central market of Vabkent and number of mills in the surrounding areas which continued to operate well into the sixteenth century. Minting of coins, steel, pottery and milling were the main industries. Though, the highly glazed pottery and tiles, unmatched in quality and quantity were their main export earning them the title of Kulal (potter). Their kiln designs were highly efficient and were able to produce up to 1500 pots in each batch. Utilizing wind and water resources for milling and industrial processes coupled with efficient kiln designs resulted in considerably higher returns per capita leading to a healthy lifestyle for the entire tribe.
Kulal Tribe lived in the surroundings of Burkhara and Bukhara city amidst the most turbulent times but remained safe and stayed out of the line of fire. Never in their history of few centuries were they attacked or their stronghold city destroyed. The reason lied in the threefold strategy.
Firstly, they were famous as an entire tribe of descendants of Muhammad, attracting considerable respect from the neighboring tribes, thus anyone bad-eyeing them had to think twice-the entire region being a Muslim dominated country. Secondly, the city was surrounded by a terrain of gardens and greenery criss-crossed by numerous rivers and streams at one side and an endless desert at the other, which was barren and uninhabited. This coupled with nothing much of material value in the small city was big enough deterrent for any invading army which would have to travel at least one day to reach the city which lied at the boundary of Kyzyl Kum (Qyzlqum) desert and no major city to north of the city.
Lastly, and most importantly their social system. The social system was devised into three sections, namely: political system; monetary system; and publicity system. Their political system was simple. The most learned of the tribe was chosen as the head. Main goal of the head, other than being the qazi and administrator was to represent the tribe and politically maneuver through times of war. Also the post was not hereditary. No hereditary claim to the "throne" meant there wasn't one family in the tribe which would grow up to have amassed huge portions of tribe wealth in a couple of generations, in case the head turned out to be corrupt. Also, this avoided any mutual tussles between heirs of any deceased chieftain, as there was nothing to fight for. Their monetary system was even more advanced (for their time) than the political system. All of the mills and manufacturing plants were owned in essence by the community. Anyone willing and skilled was allowed to operate and earn a living as long as he kept the structure maintained and donated for construction of newer structures. The system worked superbly well and at least at a smaller scale of a couple of thousand individuals proved could be sustained for a number of centuries. Strict code of intermarriages within the tribe, relatively small birthrate (compared to the one prevalent at the times), single marriages and continuous outward migration meant the population stayed nearly constant throughout the time period.
The tribe used an ingenious method of publicity to deter any invaders. Although they were mainly craftsmen (engineers and scientists) but had strapping and tall builds. They used this to their advantage by encouraging young members of the tribe to learn the necessary fighting skills and take up wrestling as a sport which by the time of Shams ud-Din Amir Kulal had become a tribal trademark sport. The tribe held regular contests both at Vabkent and Bukhara in which outsiders also competed. Almost always success of Kulal's youth meant instillation of the idea of Kulal Tribe as superior and fierce warriors. Thus, without ever going to war for a period of more than three centuries the tribe held its reputation as fierce warriors and wrestlers.
The full nasb of Amir Kulal is as follows:- hamsudeen=Amir Kulal ibn Hamzah ibn Ibraheem ibn Muhammad ibn (Muhammad) Hasan ibn Abdullah AlShaheed ibn Jafar ibn Husain ibn Ali ibn Hasan AlQayem ibn (Muhammad) Husain ibn (Ahmad) Husain ibn (Muhammad) Ali=AlDaynori ibn Moussa=AbuSobha Moussa AlThani ibn Ibraheem AlMurtdha ibn Moussa AlKadhim ibn Jafar AlSadiq ibn Muhammad AlBaqir ibn Ali Zainualabdeen ibn AlHusain AlSebit, son of Fatimah ibnt Muhammad, ibn AlImam Ali ibn AbiTalib AlHashemi AlQurashi.
Shams ud-Din Amir Kulal (شمس الدین امیر کلال) was born at Bukhara. His father Saif ud-Din Hamza was head of Kulal Tribe and a renowned scholar of his time. As head of the tribe, Saif ud-Din Hamza was titled Amir-i-Kulal (Leader of Kulal Tribe). Shams ud-Din was educated in his childhood and early in his life took the position of head of the madrasa at Vabkent. At the same time he started gaining fame as a wrestler. By the time he assumed the position of the head of Kulal Tribe his fame as a scholar and religious figure had spread through the surrounding region with many noble and powerful families sending their children to study under him, most notably from the Barlas Tribe.
Shams ud-Din was elected as tribe's head after his father's death. Although all the heads of Kulal were called Amir-i-Kulal (meaning chief of Kulal tribe), it was Shams ud-Din whose name has become synonymous with the designation Amir Kulal. Today he is mostly remembered through the title Amir Kulal rather than his real name.
As head of Kulal, his responsibilities increased but Amir Kulal continued to teach at the madrasa. One of Amir Kulal's most famous disciples was Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari who used to work as an executioner in Bukhara under the rule of Qazan Khan ibn Yasaur (d. 1346). One day Baha ud-Din was ordered to execute a man who had angered the king. However, right before his execution the accused called upon Amir Kulal, identifying him as his teacher. Amir Kulal intervened and the accused was set free on his intercession. This was Baha ud-Din's first encounter with Amir Kulal. Impressed by him, Baha ud-Din became his student.
Amir Kulal also had a sizeable following of spiritual protégés (murid). Of these the most prominent was Turghai (Trush) (d. 1356 AD) who had previously been influenced by Amir Kulal's grandfather. After Turghai's death his son Timur (d. 807/1405) held Amir Kulal in the same esteem holding him as his spiritual guide.
Around the year 1340 Ibn Battuta made a day stop at Vabkent who later described the city as beautiful with many rivers and gardens. He was Amir's guest at the city and was guided towards Bukhara, then at a day's travel from Vabkent.
In the year 1357 Timur approached Amir Kulal for his advice on strategic maneuvers for attacking Uzbeks. It was under his advice that Timur changed his attack plan.[3]
Amir Kulal died in 772/1370 and was buried in Sukhar (Sokhar) near Bukhara. Sometimes Amir Kulal's tomb is confused with the tomb of his grandfather (also Shams ud-Din Kulal). It is Shams ud-Din Kulal (Amir Kulal's grandfather) who is buried at Shahrisabz(Kesh); the Green City. Amir Kulal's grandfather had constructed the madrasa Dor-i-Tilavat/Dorut Tilavat (House of Mediation) and was buried here after his death. Later, Timur transferred the body of his father Turghai, to be near the grave of Shams ud-Din (Amir Kulal's grandfather). Amir Kulal's grandfather was Turghai and Barlas Tribe's spiritual mentor. Majority of Timur's family is also buried at the same place. Recently, his tomb had been renovated under the orders of Uzbekistan's President.[4]
None of the books written by Amir Kulal are extant. However, some excerpts and essays have survived in the family library. Also, three copies of a biography of Amir Kulal "Maqamat-i-Amir Kulal" written by his great grandson Shihab ul Din have survived.
After Amir Kulal's death his descendants, propagated from his four sons: Burhanudeen, Shah, Hamzah, and Omar, continued to be associated with the Timurid and then Mughal Dynasty Kings and Princes as their friends and teachers. Amir Kulal's grandson Amir Kalan (Muhammad ibn Shah ibn Amir Kulal) was entrusted with the education of young Ulugh Beg. Although Amir Kalan is renowned for his religious scholarship he was also well versed in mathematics and astronomy, and introduced these sciences to the young prince. At Ulugh Beg's madrasa Amir Kalan was considered one of the top ten teachers (mudarris) with unparalleled proficiency in ulum-i-yaainia, dinia and ulum-i-shariat.[5] Amir Sultan (Muhammad Shmsudeen ibn Ali ibn Burhanudeen ibn Amir Kulal), another grandson of Amir Kulal married Ottoman Sultan, Bayezid I's daughter. After Babur established the Mughal Empire in India many of Amir Kulal's descendants moved there and continued to enjoy an influence in the Mughal dynasty. They remained as teachers and mentors of Mughal Princes and Kings or their close friends. Last of these was Shah Abbas, tutor of Mughal King Farrukhsiyar. By the time Farrukhsiyar was enthroned the family had parted ways from Mughals. A gap of hundred years follows, after which the family comes to prominence with Sheikh Samad Ali, one of the prominent students of Shah Abdul Aziz. Although his exploits as an engineering entrepreneur overshadows his scholarly work. His son Hakim Qadir Ali earned fame both as a scholar and doctor and his great grandson Shah Altaf was renowned as a scholar and scientist in the area around Delhi, and his school attracted many students from this area. After the founding of Pakistan, majority of Amir Kulal's descendants moved to Pakistan.
Shaykhan family claims ancestry from the great Naqshbandi sufi saint of Bukhara Shaykh Shamsuddin Muhammad Amir Kulal. During the early period of Islamic history the ancestors of Amir Kulal migrated from Mecca, Medina and settled in Baghdad (Iraq) where successive generations, lived for over five centuries. Later the entire family moved to Shiraz (Iran) and thereafter to Bukhara (modern Uzbekistan).
Shaykh Shamsuddin Muhammad Amir Kulal (d.772/1370) was born at Sokhar near Bukhara. He was a spiritual preceptor, mentor of Amir Timur and long before he became king predicted his ascent to kingship. Timur held Shaykh Amir Kulal in very high esteem and took counsel from him in all spiritual as well as state matters.
Generations, following Amir Kulal lived in Bukhara for more than a century. Amir Hamzah Ibn Amir Kulal (d800H) popularly known as Baba Mir, a leading Naqshbandi sufi saint with large following of spiritual protégés (murid). Amir Hasan Zaman Ibn Amir Hamzah (d 825H) and buried in Sokhar near Bukhara. Amir Masud Zaman Ibn Amir Hasan Zaman (d 875H) and buried in Samarkand. Amir Muhammad Arifullah Ibn Amir Masud Zaman (847-909H) fourth in descent from Amir Kulal, a prominent Naqshbandi sufi saint was a spiritual mentor of Umar Shaykh Mirza (1456-1494AD) ruler of the province of Fergana and father of Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530AD) founder of the Mughal empire in India.
Emperor Babur fifth in descent from Amir Timur and founder of the Timurid dynasty which ruled northern India for nearly four centuries was mindful of his Central Asian origin and following in the steps of Timur gave extensive patronage to descendants of Amir Kulal.
Shaykh Sayyid Zainuddin Ibn Amir Muhammad Arifullah (d.940H/1533AD) was a writer, a poet and belonged to Naqshbandi Sufi Order. Translated memoirs of Mughal Emperor Babur into Persian and was author of the book Tabaqat-e-Baburi.[3] Shaykh Zainuddin was part of Babur's entourage when he occupied Kabul in 910H/1504AD and later in 932H/1525AD in his fifth expedition to Hindustan accompanied him to India. In his memoirs Babur writes that on entering Dehli after the victorious battle of Panipat in 932H/1526AD against Sultan Ibrahim Lodi he asked Shaykh Zainuddin to lead the Friday prayers and recite the Khutba (proclamation) in his name.[1] Decrees of the Emperor announcing victories at the battle of Panipat and against Rana Sanga and the Rajput coalition at the battle of Khanua 933H/March 17, 1527AD were composed by Shaykh Zainuddin which were copied and dispatched to the entire realm.[1]
Shaykh Zainuddin was "Sadr-us-Sudur" responsible for the judicial administration and religious affairs of the Mughal Empire and also for drafting and issuing emperors decrees in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. He died at Agra (India) and was buried in the courtyard of a Madrasa built by him.[3] Khwaja Sultan Ali Ibn Shaykh Zainuddin (d. 970H) was a minister with second Mughal emperor Humayun (1508-1556AD)[2] and later ambassador to Iran during the reign of emperor Akbar (1556-1605AD).[3] Amir Mansoor Khan Ibn Khawaja Sultan Ali (d. 982H) a senior general in the Mughal army died while hunting near Hyderabad Deccan.[3] Shaykh Sayyid Muhammad Adil Khan Ibn Amir Mansoor Khan (d. 1019H) served as a Mughal high ranking military official in the provinces of Lahore, Multan, Kashmir and Kabul.[3] Shaykh Sayyid Abu Saeed Ibn Shaykh Sayyid Mohammad Adil Khan (d.1043H) was a general in emperor Jahangir's (1569-1627AD)[2] army and later performed important ministerial duties at Jehangir's court.[3] Amir Shaykh Farrukh Zaman Khan Ibn Shaykh Sayyid Abu Saeed (d. 1089H) rose to the illustrious position of the Captain of the Mughal Red Fort at Shahjahanabad in emperor Shah jahan's reign (1627-1659AD)[3] Amir Shah Sajawal Ibn Amir Shaykh Farrukh Zaman Khan (d. 1120H) eleventh in direct descent from Amir Kulal was a Naqshbandi sufi saint and a tutor to Mughal princes during the reign of emperor Awrangzeb (1659-1707AD)[2] apart from being officer in charge of administration of Mughal court.[3]
Amir Shaykh Muhammad Zaman Sikandrabadi Ibn Amir Shah Sajawal was a leading noble of Sikandrabad (Bulandshahr / India). He lived in the reign of emperor Muhammad Shah (1719-1748AD)[2] and was awarded with an estate at Akbarpur, Salarpur near Dehli[3].This was a time when the Mughal empire was under severe decline. Nadir Shah and Ahmed Shah Abdali had sacked Dehli and many noble Muslim families were facing severe economic decline and disorder. However, Amir Shaykh Muhammad Zaman Sikandrabadi's descendants preserved the family traditions of sufism and were notable sadaats (descendants of Muhammad) of Chehel Amiran (later Koocha Chelan) in Dehli.[3]
During the later Mughal period the family continued to produce eminent men of learning who distinguished themselves in various walks of life. Shaykh Samad Ali ibn Amir Shaykh Mohammad Zaman an accomplished religious scholar and graduate of Rahimiya college (Dehli), a centre of Islamic Renaissance in the subcontinent under Shah Abdul Aziz Ibn Shah Waliullah (1746-1828 AD). Shaykh Mohammad Ali Ibn Shaykh Samad Ali a prominent Naqshbandi sufi saint of Sikandarabad (Bulandshahr) India. Shaykh Karamat Hussain Ibn Shaykh Mohammad Ali (d. 1898AD) was Kotwal (Chief of Police) in Gwalior the capital of Gwalior State. Another elder of the family Shaykh Nabi Buksh a tutor to Mughal princes was awarded an estate near Dehli in the reign of last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah (1837-1857)[3]
During the traumatic year of 1857 AD when the War of Independence started the family played a significant role against the British. Many lost their lives, others fled Dehli and took refuge in small towns / villages namely lncholi, Hapur, Danpur, Aounla, Sambhal, Amroha, Badarpur, Malyana and Jalali. Shaykh Karamat Hussain along with his entire family including his eldest son Shaykh Altaf Hussain (d. 1956AD) and buried in grave yard Bibi Pak Daman, Lahore, Pakistan who was barely seven years old proceeded to Sikandarabad but feeling unsafe due to close proximity of Bulandshahr settled in his ancestor's maternal town Dibai. Shaykh Karamat Hussain died in 1898 and was buried in family graveyard Gulabi Bagh (Dibai). The family lived in Mohalla Shaykhan (Dibai) and later also in Sikandarabad till 1947 AD when on founding of Pakistan migrated to Karachi [3]
In memory of their ancestor Amir Kulal the family's farm located near the village Sirhali Kalan, 37 kilometers south of Lahore, Pakistan is named Kulal Bagh.

BOYNTON BEACH — South Florida caricature artist Captain Cartoon just released his latest celebrity caricature!
Charlie Sheen takes the spotlight in yet another celeb sketch by the Florida caricaturist, in a digital drawing requested by long time friend and former CRACKED Magazine writer-cartoonist Terry Copeland.
"Charlie had it coming, that's for certain," said the Captain, who lamented that he should have done this two weeks earlier. "Better late than never," he added. Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Shaun White, Justin Bieber, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and others have also been etched into "Captain Cartoon immortality." Moammar Ghadafi most recently made the cut, as did Donald Trump.
Sheen's been making waves recently over a number of seemingly endless squabbles in an almost "Andy Kaufman-like" scenario. "I expect this image, featuring reminders from Sheen's recent tiffs (provided by Copeland), will stay timely for some time, and I'll be adding more as he continues to erupt," says the Captain.
Captain Cartoon, aka Dick Kulpa, is former publisher of CRACKED Magazine, former editor of Weekly World News, and the creator of Bat Boy. He's drawn well over 30,000 caricatures in South Florida alone, and recently launched his "Captain Cartoon Celebrity Caricatures Crusade."
"Eventually, celebs won't be complete unless they've been caricatured by Captain Cartoon, quips the Florida cartoonist, illustrator of the Starlette Universe feature.
Have YOU been "Captain Cartooned" yet?

Time: 1:00PM – 5:00PM
Location: Lair of the Bear Park
Fish Landed: 6
Bear Creek 06/05/2011 Photo Album
With temperatures in Denver touching the 90's, snow melt was kicking in. I checked the flows and Bear Creek remained at 27 cfs. In an earlier outing I fished Bear Creek at 22 cfs, so I knew this was probably fishable water.
I packed up my gear and lunch and headed out the door at around 11:30. I arrived at the Lair of the Bear parking lot at around 12:15 and was fortunate to get a parking space. I ate my lunch in the car and then put on my waders and rigged my rod. It was quite warm and there were fishermen and picnickers and runners and bikers and dog walkers everywhere. I headed west on the Bear Creek Trail along the stream. It looked a bit high but very clear.
I was looking to begin fishing where I'd ended the previous visit to Bear Creek, and when I reached that point, another fisherman was already in the stream so I moved above him by 50 yards or so and entered the water. I initially tied on a Chernobyl ant trailing a beadhead hares ear. This combination wasn't producing so I clipped off the BHHE and replaced it with a beadhead emerald caddis pupa. As I moved upstream I noticed the occasional golden stonefly fluttering up from the creek, so I removed the Chernobyl ant and replaced it with a Letort hopper. This proved to be a success and I landed two small browns on the Letort hopper after it got submerged in eddies.
I also managed a brown on the emerald caddis, but on two or three occasions during this time, I hooked branches too high up to remove the flies without breaking them off. I was doing this when I saw a pause of the fly, and set the hook too hard with no fish attached. After reaching a group of young girls wading into the creek for a refreshing cool off, I walked on the trail around them, and then re-entered. I hadn't caught any fish for awhile so I returned to the Chernobyl ant trailing a beadhead hares ear and beadhead emerald caddis pupa. In between the Letort hopper and Chernobyl I also tried a small yellow sally with a quill body and a light gray caddis, but these didn't produce.
When I came to a bridge I waded to the other side and began prospecting the water with the three fly combination and landed three small browns, two on the emerald caddis and one on the Chernobyl ant. I also had a couple refusals to the Chernobyl. I attribute the success in this area to being further away from the path and fishing nooks and small pockets along the opposite bank.
It was now late in the afternoon and I came upon a sign that announced the area was private property, and I was quite warm so I decided to quit for the day and hike back to the car.

Over two years, Episcopalians across Maine will work with colleagues in the Dioceses of Connecticut, Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee, doing experiments in how we might join God in our neighborhoods, and coming together locally to learn from the results.
This will be exciting! We'll have great support, from our consultant Alan Roxburgh people like Dwight Zscheile (People of the Way). We'll help and learn from one another. And we'll move step by step so that everyone can take part.
In May and October 2016, people from many congregations came to exploratory workshops.
After exploring and discerning, the following congregations joined: St. Patrick's in Brewer, St. Peter's in Bridgton, St. Paul's in Brunswick, St. Aidan's in Machias, St. Andrew's in Newcastle, St. Mark's in Waterville, and St. Andrew's in Winthrop. We are excited to have such a diverse and wonderful group of congregations. Each of them has a Guiding Team of lay people and a Coach from another congregation. Their clergy are in a Clergy Cohort. And a Diocesan Team will help the diocese to learn from this process.
Even if your congregation has not joined, you are welcome to use the materials if you are in the Episcopal Diocese of Maine.

Quick Guide
- Keywords: Drama, play, famous stories
- Learner English Level: Pre-intermediate and above
- Learner Maturity: High school, university
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Activity Time: 90 minutes
- Materials: Blackboard, blank A4 paper, scissors
As a review activity, groups of students adapt a well-known story and turn it into a play that they perform in front of the class. Target language from past lessons is given to students to use in the play. Recently, drama activities have begun to gain weight in the language classroom as they have been found to assist L2 learning (Barbee, 2014). These activities can range from short roleplays to longer play productions. Through the process of writing a play, students make use of the language they know to create a story that can be understood by the audience. Performing a play has also been found to improve speaking skills such as fluency and pronunciation (Barbee, 2014).
This activity can be done as a review lesson. Students are given target language they have encountered in the past and are then asked to fit the language into a story they know. The goal of this activity is to turn the story into a play and enact it. This is a guide for the preparation lesson, which takes one full 90-minute class, and performances are done a week later.
Step 1: You will need five strips of paper for each group of four or five students in your class, so cut out enough strips of paper.
Step 2: Choose target language from previous lessons and write something on each strip of paper. All strips of paper should have different words or expressions written.
Step 1: Brainstorm names of famous stories and write them on the board. They can include Japanese stories.
Step 2: Circle the most popular story from the list.
Step 3: Ask who the characters of the story are and write down the names on the board.
Step 4: Put students into groups of four or five.
Step 5: Give each group five strips of paper that you have prepared.
Step 6: Tell the students that they should turn the story into a play lasting between five and seven minutes that they will perform the following week. As all words or expressions on the paper strips have to be used in the play, students should make changes to the original storyline to make the language fit in the story. Tell them each person is required to speak for about the same length of time during the performance. Encourage them to memorise their lines as much as possible.
Step 7: Give students about an hour to work on the script. Monitor and encourage students to be creative.
Step 8: After an hour, give students the rest of the class time to rehearse.
Step 9: At the end of the class, remind students to use their own time to memorise the script and rehearse.
In order to give a good performance, students have to learn to work together and assist each other. I have once modified this activity and given it as an end-of-term assignment to first-year university students and received a lot of positive feedback. Through working collaboratively with others, I noticed that the students became more autonomous learners. It also helped the shy students to gain more confidence in speaking English. It is a great way to wrap up the term on a high note.

"Shane" [Shain] Meaning: Soon
In popular legend this celebrated nineteenth-century American folk hero was known as the King of the Wild Frontier. A frontiersman, soldier and politician, he always referred to himself as David Crockett rather than Davy. He represented Tennessee in the United States House of Representatives, was an active participant in the Texan rebellion against Mexican rule and famously died defending the Alamo. Crockett told William Travis and Jim Bowie that he had travelled to the Alamo to aid them in their noble cause and to defend the liberties of their common country. His Ulster forbears hailed from Castlederg in County Tyrone.

Finding a psychology job that is the right fit for you may vary in difficulty depending on what you are looking for. The higher your degree, the more career options you will likely have. However, even with an associate degree, there are several psychology careers available for job seekers.
Psychology jobs may be located in several ways. Social service programs, nonprofit agencies, and psychology programs may be found through community service directories, newspapers, and through online searches. Adoption and foster agencies may hire individuals with a degree in psychology. Crisis hotlines, counseling centers, and group homes are additional places of employment. Mental health facilities, both inpatient and outpatient programs, are in need of psychology professionals.
Government-run social service programs through county, city, state, and the federal government also hire graduates of psychology programs. Government websites usually have a career section where job openings are advertised.
In addition to locating agencies, networking with people in the field is also helpful in finding job openings. Joining professional psychology associations at both the local and national levels is a good place to start meeting others in the field. Some associations have regular meetings where you can meet others in the field. Many psychology associations also have a job board where positions are advertised.
Don't overlook the school you graduated from as a source of potential job leads. Fellow classmates and teachers may know of positions or agencies to look for work, and university career centers often maintain databases of job leads and, occasionally, alumni who may be willing to help you get your foot in the door.
Once you find places to apply to, you'll need to have a resume available. When writing your resume, format it in a way that is easy to read and locate information in a hurry. Employers may simply scan resumes and need to be able to find relevant information, such as degrees and past experience, quickly. Also, when writing your resume, be sure to read back through it for obvious misspellings and typographical errors. Keep in mind that your resume is one of the first impressions you will make on a potential employer.
Highlight any position that you held in the psychology field. If you don't have direct psychology experience, then highlight jobs in which you worked with the public or held a supervisory position. Explain how your past employment and skills prepared you for a psychology career and the particular position you are applying for.
Have a list of professional references available in case they are requested by a potential employer. References may be former coworkers, teachers, and employers. Be sure you have contact information, such as email addresses and phone numbers. If you already have professional reference letters written, keep them on file in case they are needed in the future.
Once you get an employer's interest in your resume, the next step will likely be an interview. Job interviews can be intimidating even for those who are fully qualified for the position. Whether you are interviewed by one person or a panel, it's important to try to relax, be professional, and be honest.
If possible try to learn a little about the facility or program you are interviewing with. If available, visit the facility or program's website for information. Bring copies of your resume and references in case either are requested. Arrive on time and dress the part. Although not all psychology jobs require business attire such as a suit, err on the side of formality.
Although anyone may be nervous before an interview, take a few deep breaths before going in. Answer questions honestly and discuss how your qualifications make you an asset to the facility or program you are applying with. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask. Not only is the employer trying to see if you are the right person for the job, but it's a chance for you to determine if the job feels right for you.
After the interview comes the hard part; is waiting for a response. Sending a short thank you email can't hurt. Just write a quick statement thanking the interviewer for his or her time.
If you don't get the job, try not to take rejection too personally. There are many reasons you may not be selected, such as a high number of qualified applicants. Learn what you can from the interview experience and move on to the next possibility.
Types of Therapy
There are many different types of therapy people working in psychology careers may use to help someone. The type of therapy chosen depends on the age of the person, the problem he or she is dealing with, and the individual's personality and preferences. Some types of therapy may not be effective for everyone. It may also be necessary to try a variety of therapies before progress becomes apparent.
One area of psychotherapy commonly used in a variety of situations is family therapy. Often an issue or problem affecting one person affects the entire family. Family counseling allows individual family members insight into problematic issues and helps the whole family learn effective coping strategies. It may be particularly helpful in situations such as domestic violence and substance abuse.
Group therapy is another type of therapy often recommended. Similar to family therapy, during group therapy the therapist works simultaneously with more than one person. Although it may not be for everyone, there are several benefits to group therapy.
Because dealing with psychiatric issues or emotional problems may feel isolating, group therapy often helps someone feel less alone and more connected to others. Members of the group share experiences, which may provide hope and other helpful information to the group as a whole. Members of the group may also serve as a source of emotional support. Group therapy may be done in conjunction with individual counseling.
Other types of therapy are also very effective, particularly in dealing with children or people who have a difficult time expressing themselves by talking. For instance, music therapy may be very helpful in these instances. Music can be soothing to almost everyone. Music therapy is based on the healing and calming effect of music. It also provides an opportunity for nonthreatening self expression. People with various problems, such as mental health issues, victims of violence, and people with substance abuse problems may benefit from music therapy.
Play therapy is also very helpful in treating children. Children may not have the vocabulary to express their feelings in all situations, but play therapy allows a child to act out emotions through play. It may be used to help make a diagnosis or as a form of psychotherapy. Additionally, play therapy provides children with the opportunity to learn new ways to cope with situations that cause anxiety.
Art therapy is another type of therapy that may be used to treat people with various emotional and mental health problems. Similar to music therapy, art therapy helps a person express feelings without using words. Instead, the emotions are expressed through art work. Art therapy can help people relieve stress and is often very calming.
This is an effective type of therapy for both children and adults.
Continuing Education
Continuing education in psychology careers is an important part of staying current in the field. As with other fields, psychology changes and evolves overtime. New therapies, theories, treatments, and medications are developed and implemented with varying degrees of success. Taking continuing education in psychology careers helps professionals remain knowledgeable and credible in their field.
Continuing education may be mandatory for some psychology professionals. For instance, individuals licensed as clinical social workers, therapists, or psychologists may be required to complete a specific amount of continuing educations classes every few years to renew their license. Specific continuing education requirements for individuals' psychology career specialties can be found through a licensing or accrediting agency.
Even for those psychology professionals who are not required to complete continuing education, it is still advisable. Although continuing education allows the opportunity to learn about new ideas in the field of psychology, it also provides a chance to improve your job skills. Continuing education classes may include learning about techniques and therapies that are new to you, as well as increase your marketability.
If you have a particular area of psychology you are interested in, continuing education classes are a good way to gain more knowledge in a short period of time. It also provides an opportunity to do a little career exploration. You can take a few continuing education classes in different areas of psychology to help determine what area you are interested in pursuing in the future.
It is also a chance to meet other people working in psychology careers. When attending conferences and classes for continuing education, you have the chance to network with other professionals. This frequently allows you to gain information about programs or jobs you would be interested in.
There are several ways to locate continuing education classes in psychology. Professional associations often provide a list of continuing education classes available through the association. Classes may also be found through colleges and universities. Often professional psychology conferences will offer continuing educations units for workshops, classes, and lectures. Professional psychology trade journals are also good sources for locating continuing education opportunities.
When selecting continuing education classes for psychology careers, keep in mind some classes may require in-person attendance at a class or conference. Other classes may be offered online after reading the required information and completing a test. The fee for continuing education classes varies widely. However, there may be some opportunities for free classes through professional organizations and employers.
