Marit's Chances
I considered Thursday's freestyle sprints to be hors d'œuvres for the rest of the World Championships, so I was happy the semis and the finals were all excellent competitions - even if the North Americans did not quite ski up to expectations. Marit Bjørgen and Marcus Hellner both skied tough, clean races that they won on strength and speed - not luck or even guile.
While Bjørgen's gold was more or less expected, especially after Kikkan Randall crashed out, Hellner's was surprising. He fearlessly went off the front early in the final and then, marvelously, stayed away right up to the line, where he had a chance to kick up one ski à la Thomas Alsgaard in the '03 Worlds relay. Hellner's gold proves that Northug can be beaten in a sprint - you just have to go off the front before he expects it and then not let up. (Axel Teichmann, please note this.)
Saturday's women's pursuit is the first distance race of the Worlds, and the first chance for Bjørgen to add to her collection of major-event gold medals, now standing at eight (including team events: five at Worlds and three at the Olympics; individually: three at Worlds and two at the Olympics).
In fact, I'd have to say - based on both her form this year and my inveterate Norge-philia - that there's an outside chance Bjørgen could win every race at Worlds. She's clearly the favorite in any distance event, she's got to be half of Norway's team sprint, and of course she's the logical anchor for the relay.
Can she win six golds in Oslo? Sure she can. Will she? I don't think so. Even top-notch racers can choose to sit out a race (Petra Majdic is skipping the women's pursuit and Bauer is not racing the men's pursuit, and of course Bjørgen could get hurt or sick. Barring any of those circumstances, though, I wouldn't expect her to win fewer than four golds (sprint, team sprint, relay, and one of the individual distance races) - and to medal in the other two events. For whatever it's worth, I join the rest of the ski world in picking her to win Saturday's pursuit.

Oslo, Finally
With or without Andrus Veerpalu, the Oslo World Ski Championships are underway. A New Zealander and a Dane won today's qualifying races, but I think the freestyle sprint podiums will include the usual suspects:
I can't wait...

North American Skiing's Best-Ever Day
Today's freestyle sprints at Drammen have to rank up as the best-ever day for North American cross-country skiing: Canadian Alex Harvey took second behind only Emil Jönsson and ahead of Petter Northug in the men's race, and American Kikkan Randall won the women's race, which included an out-of-the-running Marit Bjørgen. And both results sheets had plenty of other good results. On the men's side, Len Valjas (CAN) finished ninth and Andy Newell (USA) finished eighteenth; on the women's side, Chandra Crawford (CAN) finished fourteenth and Dasha Gaiazova finished twentieth. (Minnsotan Jessie Diggins finished 46th, failing to make the heats but winding up ahead of some serious skiers, like Norwegian Marthe Kristoffersen.)

Drammen Sprints
The freestyle sprints at Konnerud are already under way, but I'll post the predictions I made yesterday anyhow. With the best Russian men missing, we're not getting a true picture of that field, but the women's field is as full of fast racers as it will be next Thursday, when the freestyle sprints will happen at Holmenkollen.

The Oslo Worlds are less than a week away, just the other side of the last tune-up races at Drammen, Norway. Not the familiar (and, frankly, awesome) city-center sprints of the last few years, this year's events are being held at the Konnerud winter-sports park just outside Drammen.
In front of the last eight championships (Olympics and World Championships) has the winner of the general test of distance has never been an individual gold medalist. The last one was able feat in the men's side was Mika Myllylä. He won both the final race before the World Championships in Ramsau in 1999, and became king of the tournament with three gold and a silver individually.

Holmen Cow!
The Oslo Worlds organizers just put up a fascinating page about the 30 and 50km tracks at Holmenkolllen - "the world's hardest ski course." The women's course - can we call it Marit's Regret?- is actually 31.6km in length and includes 1,193 of climbing - 61m more than the previous record, at Torino. (The Vancouver 30 included a mere 1,056 meters of climbing.)

Fullback Leonard Weaver may sign a new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles before Friday, when he is set to become a restricted free agent.
Weaver told Philly.com on Saturday that he thinks a deal is close.
Weaver's agent, Harold Lewis, added on Sunday that he and Eagles officials had "good meetings" in Indianapolis during the scouting combine, although he added that there was "nothing more to report than that."
Weaver played in all 16 games for the Eagles in 2009, starting eight of them. Heading into the season Weaver was expected to be mostly a blocker and occasional receiver out of the backfield, but he was surprisingly productive running the ball, with 70 carries for 323 yards and two touchdowns.

text: I purchased the Twist & Shout Multiplication for my garhdaugnter who is 8 years old. She has not put it down since she received it. However mine was malfunctioned and would not give multiple choices. It would only ask the question and then gave the answer. She was hesitant to give it up when I explained I needed to exchange it for another. This is the only toy she has that has held her interest for long periods of time. She nows brags to friends that she knows her multiplication tables.

Two groups of students travelled to Sarawak, Borneo at the end of Term one to spend close to two weeks living and working in remote Indigenous villages called Kampong Mentu and Kampong Tuba.
The people inhabiting both Mentu and Tuba are from the Iban tribe. Historically they were the most formidable head hunters on the island of Borneo, but today the Iban are generous, hospitable and placid. They grow rice, pepper and fruit, and hunt and fish. Even though they continue to have a strong spiritual connection to the rainforest, many modern facilities are now making their way into these remote places, changing many of their traditional customs.
The group of students working in Mentu had the task of completing a bridge that connected the village to the local school. Whilst it was hot and humid, the project was completed well ahead of schedule allowing plenty of time to engage in cultural activities, to work and play with the children in the village, swim in the river, to go kayaking through limestone hills and amazing rainforest and go on challenging hikes to spectacular hidden waterfalls.
After completing our project in the Village our group was transported in four-wheel drives and traditional longboats to Kampong Nyogol which has a literal translation meaning 'Village in the Clouds.' Getting up early and watching the sunrise in this incredible and remote part of the world was the highlight of the experience for many.
Immersion and service learning programs like Fulfilling Lives, encourage self-reflection on attitudes towards cultural difference, provide opportunities to build relationships, to serve and work with those less fortunate and invite the application of knowledge and skills as outlined in the Contributing and Identity dimensions of our Vision for Learning. Programs like this can be a transformational experience for our students as they see that their participation is effecting real change. They see that their actions can make a difference.
Seeing a part of the world that few have ever seen, integrating into a community, interacting with local people, learning a new language and understanding the way others live, no matter how briefly, enables a cultural immersion grounded in deep learning and rich memories. The thirteen students that travelled to Mentu should be proud of what they achieved, not only in the village, but also in the way they conducted themselves, worked together as a team and grew from the experience.

How to replace an exterior door handle
Creative Commons: Chimothy27
If you need to replace an old worn out exterior door handle, then now is the time. This is an easy project that can be done in a few minutes, provided you have the right tools and a replacement door handle that fits your door.
The instructions below are written for more traditional types of door handles found on wood and metal doors. However, they will also work for other types of door handles, such as those found on storm doors and screen doors. You simply need to skip the steps that talk about removing or inserting the latch.
Open your door slightly before beginning.
Look at the interior side of the door knob for screws.
If screws are not visible, pop off the door knob by pressing a flathead screwdriver into the slot on the side of the handle and turning slightly. The door knob should come loose and you can remove it by pulling.
Remove the screws with a screwdriver. You should be able to remove both sides of the door handle.
Remove the screws from the strike plate on the side of the door. You can now remove the latch.
Measure the distance from the edge of the door to any holes on the door. This is considered the "back set." You want to ensure that your new handle will work for your door.
Take your old door handle and your measurements from Step 6 to a hardware store to purchase a new one. This will ensure that the new door handle is compatible with your door.
Screw in the new latch. Start the screws by hand, then switch to a screwdriver. It is better to get both screws started before tightening them.
Set the exterior door knob and the interior door knob into place.
Replace the screws. This can be tricky because you need to make sure that they are going into the holes correctly. Start both screws by hand before tightening them with your screwdriver.
Test your door handle and lock to see if it is working correctly.
- Use WD-40 to loosen screws on an old doorknob.

Humans have introduced non-native animal and plant species into aquatic and terrestrial habitats around the world at an unprecedented rate. Fish have been accidentally or intentionally introduced into river systems for over 150 years. Introduced fish are known to modify average body sizes in habitats around the world. A new study in the journal Ecology Letters reports that non-native fish are, on average, 12 cm larger than native species. This change in body size can, in many situations, greatly modify aquatic ecosystems.
After cross-referencing freshwater fish data from 1,058 river basins worldwide, the authors found that introduced fish are, on average 12 cm larger than native species. Overall, this increases the average body size of fish in a given assemblage by 2 cm. Remember back in the story about shrinking songbirds when I defined Bergmann's Rule? Its the warmer climates have larger critters rule. The authors here are suggesting that the change in fish body size affects Bergmann's Rule. Additionally, the non-natives alter the functioning of the ecosystem, whether they be predators, herbivores, or detritovores. This alteration of the food chain affects other species within the change as well as the cycling of organic matter within the system. The changes in body size worldwide are likely part of this change.
As you can probably tell there is more to the story. You can find more details in the article itself here: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123248911/abstract (DOI: 10.1111/j.1461-0248.2009.01432.x)

One character blows cigar or cigarette smoke in another character's face as an expression of defiance, dominance, or just plain jerkassery.
The person on the receiving end may react in a number of ways, from stoically putting up with it, to casually wafting it away, to breaking into a racking fit of coughing. In cartoons the cloud of smoke may dissipate to reveal an Ash Face.
A Sub-Trope of Good Smoking, Evil Smoking; this behaviour will generally be an indicator of an Evil Smoker, although a good Cigar Chomper may be able to get away with it (especially if the target has earned his contempt).

By Teachers, For Teachers
"When it comes to teaching, real improvement is a lot harder to achieve — and we know much less about how to make it happen — than most of us would like to admit." This statement comes from Dan Weisberg, Chief Executive of TNTP, a non-profit organization that recently published a study finding billions of dollars of annual teacher training is largely a waste.
Professional development for teachers is difficult to quantify. How does one measure how impactful professional development training is? And how can we correlate which professional development trainings led to which improvements by students? And how are we measuring teacher improvement anyhow – with evaluations, student test data, surveys, or other means?
I suppose my questions echo what Weisberg suggests: We really have little understanding of how professional development ends up impacting students.
TNTP's study examined 10,000 teachers in several different districts. It found that these districts spent $18,000 a year per teacher for professional development. That whopping sum helps us estimate that, in the 50 largest American school districts, $8 billion is spent a year. The Department of Education spends $2.5 billion on teacher professional development as well, but even Arne Duncan lamented in 2012 that teachers "are not feeling it." Duncan goes on to comment that in terms of understanding how to train teachers in a manner that leads to real improvement, "I think the honest answer is that, in most places, we are not even close."
It's difficult to identify what it actually takes for professional development to have measurable impact on teacher performance; it's equally difficult to process why professional development isn't working like we thought. In theory, teachers attend trainings relevant to their specific classroom needs and experiences, and then apply those trainings – and students improve.
But the reality is far different. TNTP's study found that while three out of ten teachers improved, two out of ten actually declined. And it's very unclear why these results are the case.
If anything, the results reveal to us how much we don't know … which is at least a starting point. Many experts agree that teacher quality is the number one factor affecting student outcomes. Yet, for all our efforts, time, and money spent, we have little idea of how to actually make a teacher better.
Here's what this reports tells us we need to continue to explore, define, and consider:
It may be sad, but the study leaves us with a long, blurry list of questions. The TNTP study results did draw spots of praise, such as from Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, who has criticized low-quality and top-down professional development for years. The report did find that teacher improvement didn't seem linked to any particular efforts of that teacher's district. Although the report didn't disprove a correlation between teacher improvement and district efforts, it might suggest that more teacher-directed professional development opportunities are necessary.
If you're like me, when you first learned about the TNTP study results you felt a little confused and blindsided. On the one hand, so many teachers and districts work desperately hard on professional development. Teachers take courses, attend seminars and conferences, subscribe to journals, get connected through PLNs, and perform dozens of other self-improvement tasks. Districts spend top-dollar on experts, consultants, trainings, and substitutes. And yet research suggests that we might just be spinning our wheels.
Personally, I attend or speak at several conferences each year. I connect to others digitally. I read books about teaching. I attend graduate school. I even help lead my school's teacher-led Instructional Development Committee. Are these efforts worthwhile, or are we misleading ourselves by feeling busy but simply making more work for ourselves?
This was my first reaction – a moment of breath-holding while I asked myself these questions. But these are good questions to ask. Perhaps we don't ask ourselves the "Is this even working?" question enough. Our reaction to this study should at least be a moment of pause to consider how we, as teachers, can truly improve our practices.
Recent years have led teachers to largely transition toward student-centered classroom instruction, focused on students do the speaking, the thinking, and the engagement with the material. The thinking behind student centered learning is that the more students have a personal interest and engagement with the material at hand, the more they will feel intrinsically motivated to learn. But isn't the same true for adults, too?
Too often, well-intentioned schools and districts expend resources on the types of professional development they perceive their teachers require. Teachers obediently attend the professional development and return to their classrooms. But how much of the professional development pertained to them? How many specific, tangible inputs does a teacher receive from such training? Just like classrooms transition into a student-centered model of instruction where students learn more because they own and engage with the content, so too should professional development shift to a teacher-centered model where teachers likewise own and engage with pedagogy more.
At the very least, districts should avoid what Weisberg sees as "Throwing a lot of things against the wall and not even looking to see what sticks." An organized approach to professional development should be taken at both the teacher and the district level, involving a process of training, experimentation, and reflection. Perhaps a process could look something like this:
Establishing a shared vision: This is not a top-down nor a bottom-up approach to professional development. It's a shared vision, meaning that stakeholders from all levels have come together to discuss what the needs of the individuals and the organization are. Then they agree on their plan and determine what next steps they will follow.
Continuing discussion: Once the vision is established, the conversations don't stop. They keep going to make sure everyone still shares the vision and they are still operating in the best direction based on all information available.
Targeting strategic professional development: Teachers and administrators should then be exposed to specific professional development opportunities that relate to the needs initially identified. This is not a shotgun approach to scattershot development opportunities, but rather an optimized approach targeting specific times, people, and topics.
Applying tangible methods: Teachers should come away from professional development with ready-for-the-classroom techniques and materials that have proven to work. And then they need to apply it. Teachers should be able to say "I used to do _____, but I now I do ______ in the classroom," demonstrating specific improvements they've made.
Reflecting: After applying new methods and materials, there should be time to consider if they actually had an impact. Grades, test scores, student feedback, and any other means available should be made to help teachers consider if their methods are in fact making a difference. Plus, teachers should reflect on their own implementation, utilizing journals, video recordings, feedback surveys, and other tools of self-reflection.
Reviewing as a group: The "group" – i.e. all teachers and administrators committed to professional development – should continually discuss their progress. And the biggest piece of this discussion is to be willing to admit that their efforts and experiments might not be the right track to go down. Methods must be scrutinized and evaluated so that the best ones can be identified and the least effective ones can be scrapped. The better we allow for group discussions, the more likely we are to land on the most impactful methodologies.
As long as we plan, learn, apply, and reflect, we stand a chance at making the most of our professional development. We have a long way to go before discovering exactly how to make those billions of dollars of professional development work for us, but at least we know where our shortcomings are.
I wonder if we spent time examining other industries what we'd discover. I mean, is it common for industries to spend billions only to find that they've wasted money? Or is education more the exception than the rule when it comes to the lack of effectiveness of professional development? Maybe we could study how athletes and sports teams improve, how businesses enter a golden age of profits, how non-profits impact their concerns the best, or how militaries train their soldiers. After all, if these other fields see improvement in their personnel, then it might be worth asking how those professional development methods might carryover into education.
The TNTP study might deliver discouraging news, but it's only temporarily discouraging. Teacher improvement is a nebulous topic with a plethora of factors associated with it. While we might not know what specific steps need to be taken to improve teacher performance, we at least know that what we're doing right now isn't the final answer.
How do you think professional development for teachers can be better implemented? What do you think about the TNTP study results and your experiences with professional development? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

In Touch Weekly, Vineyard Vines accused Margaret's company of "trademark infringement."
The judge ruled in favor of Vineyard Vines, and the new Bravo reality star was ordered to pay $300,000 in damages – but she never paid the full amount.
"Margaret didn't abide by the ruling," Vineyard Vines' lawyer Todd Sharinn told the publication. The company is now asking for $7 million — and expects Margaret to pay. "I've seen some of her banking records… she lives a pretty good life, obviously good enough to get on RHONJ," Todd revealed.
Meanwhile, Margaret's rep had no comment, citing the fact that the litigation is ongoing.
While it's been reported that the lawsuit is still pending, the publication reports that Margaret earned her degree in marketing and fashion design and launched Macbeth Collection soon after. Since launching, her company has grown into a lifestyle brand, covering fashion, tech, beauty, and more.
Josephs, who will join returning Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, and Siggy Flicker for Season 8. The ladies will also be joined by original cast member Danielle Staub, who is making her grand return as the show's official "Friend of the Housewives" this season.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 premieres on Wednesday, October 4 at 8/7c on Bravo.

We believe that the ultimate godhead is unknowable. This doesn't make for a good working relationship with the diety, however. So, we break it down into a Goddess and a God. Different Wiccans worship different Gods/Goddesses. We can utilize *any* pantheon. Some worship Pan/Diana, some Cernnunos/Aradia, Isis/Osiris, and many others.
We see our Goddess as being Triple Aspected — Maiden, Mother, and Crone, and she is reflected in the phases of the Moon — Waxing, Full and Waning. We see the God as the Lord of Nature, and he is reflected in the seasonal changes. Like Jesus Christ, he dies for the land and the people, and is reborn.
In general, we believe in reincarnation and karma. What you call Heaven, we call the Summerlands. We don't believe that Hell exists (or Satan either.) We believe that there should be balance in all things – when the balance is disturbed, that's when 'evil' occurs. Fire, for example is not 'evil'. It could be considered such when it becomes out of balance, as in a forest fire, or house fire. Controlled fire is a useful tool. Anger is not 'evil', but when unbridled can't help but lead to negative things. When properly expressed and balanced with constructive working to correct that which invoked the anger – it, too, can be a useful tool.
We regard the Earth as our Mother, and try to have respect for Her by not polluting her and try to live in harmony with Her and Her ways.
Women reflect the Goddess, Men reflect the God, so the Wicca have a Priestess and Priest to 'run' the religious services. We call our services circles.
This was sort of an "Reader's Digest Condensed Version" of Wicca.

Will the correct Argentine weather outlook please stand up
Can anyone please enlighten on the Argentine weather outlook?
There appear to be as many opinions as the number people asked.
Benson Quinn Commodities, for instance, took a benign view, saying late on Wednesday that "if the forecast for Argentina changed, moisture was added".
Terry Reilly at Futures International, meanwhile, who draws on advice from World Weather, said that "the forecast for Argentina was drier than Tuesday for the next two weeks, bias western, central, and some southern parts of the country.
"The rest of the growing regions should have enough soil moisture to counter net drying conditions."
He added that the key growing state of Buenos Aires "will be cold Friday morning but no threatening frost/freezes are expected".
'Need rain now'
Meanwhile, Tobin Gorey at Commonwealth Bank of Australia agreed that Argentine forecasts have changed, but was not so sanguine on the outcome.
"Argentina's soybean regions have significant segments that have seriously depleted soil moisture," he said.
"Crops in these regions are at a point where they need rain now. Weather forecasters are worried they might not get it."
He added that "we think that Argentina's situation is a real danger, if not yet a 'clear and present' one, to soybean supply".
Soymeal splurge
Looking further ahead, Commodity Weather Group issued a warning that Argentina could see dry and hot conditions in January and February, with north east Brazil to prove dry too.
And coming against a backdrop of growing confidence in a La Nina, if a weak one, such an outcome would not appear impossible at all.
All this matters particularly in the oilseeds complex, with Argentina the top exporter of soymeal and soyoil.
Certainly, funds are taking an increasing interest in the soymeal market, at least, if the last session is anything to go by when they bought 8,000 contracts in Chicago futures – the most for a single session in six weeks.
Indeed, the January soymeal futures contract saw its highest ever trading volumes. And this the day before Thanksgiving, a quiet day for markets as a whole.

Women Playwrights
The genre of drama originated in ancient Greece and has existed for thousands of years, capturing the attention and imagination of the audience. It is the only literary genre intended to be performed and as such, it is directly affected by the spectators' response. For centuries, drama was an all-male business, with only men performing as actors and writing plays, although this slowly changed as women playwrights became more influential.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, women in Great Britain were occasionally involved in drama, particularly by translating plays into English. The first woman translator was Jane Lumley (1537-1578), who translated Euripides. In 1613, Elizabeth Cary became the first woman to write a play, The Tragedy of Mariam. The most successful British woman playwright, and one of the most influential in general, was Aphra Behn (1640-1689). She wrote a total of 19 plays, mostly comedies and became very successful. In fact, she was among the first women to write for a living. Her best plays include The Rover; or, the Banished Cavaliers: Parts I and II (1677, 1680), The Feigned Courtesans; or, A Night's Intrigue (1679), The City Heiress (1682), The Lucky Chance; or, An Alderman's Bargain (1686), and The Emperor of the Moon (1687).
Following Behn's footsteps, a number of other women started writing plays and some of them became successful. These literary figures included Delariver Manley (1670-1724), Mary Pix (1666-1709), Susannah Centlivre (c.1667-1723), Frances Sheridan (1724-1766), Elizabeth Griffith (1727-1793), Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821), Harriet Lee (1757-1851), Joanna Bailie (1762-1851) and Hannah Cowley (1743-1809).
Across the Atlantic, women started to get involved in drama, with one of the first playwrights notably being Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). Apart from becoming an author, Warren was also one of the key female figures in the American Revolution. In her plays she made fun of the loyalists, the Americans who supported Great Britain and opposed the independence of the United States. One of her best works, The Group (1775), features a group of Loyalists who sat, playing cards and shared their opinions in a way that Patriots found extremely amusing. The play is believed to have convinced the citizens of Boston to join the Revolution. Another important female playwright was Anna Cora Mowatt (1819-1870), whose best-known play Fashion was published in 1845 and received positive reviews.
In the first half of the 20th century, numerous women dramatists published their plays. Zona Gale (1874-1938) wrote a total of seven plays but also wrote short stories, novels and poetry. Her best play, Miss Lulu Bett (1920) was an adaptation of an earlier novel and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921. One of the most influential playwrights of the time was Susan Glaspell (1876-1948). Her name is closely associated with the Princetown Players, a drama circle which she found together with her husband George Cram Cook. Glaspell won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1930 for her play Alison's House. Her works were revived during the 1980s, when many critics rediscovered them.
Another central figure in American drama was Lillian Hellman (1905-1984). Although her works contain clear, straight-forward messages, her personality was marked by controversy. Her best known plays are the Children's Hour (1934), The Little Foxes (1939) and Toys in the Attic (1960). Hellman was accused of being a Communist and her works were banned in Hollywood.
However, the most controversial female playwright was Gertrude Stein (1874-1946). Her plays are considered ultimate examples of Modernism by some critics and a reflection of her "giant ego" by others. Stein was an influential figure in drama and literary life in the United States. She used obscure language and shifted grammar in a way that suited her. Stein's plays never gained commercial success and she remained better known for her sexuality, along with her political views and her experimental prose.
African-American women playwrights have been influential, with Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) becoming an extremely successful author and widely praised for her novels. Her first play, Color Struck was published in 1925 and her best known play, Mule Bone (1930) was a collaboration with Langston Hughes. Hurston is considered to be one of the leading writers of 20th century African-American literature and was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance movement. Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965) had a short but memorable career. Her play A Raisin in the Sun (1959) was filmed in 2008.

Wac Arts had royalty for tea this week! His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh visited Wac Arts premises on May 26th 2015 as a part of the event hosted by London Youth. We got the privilege to share the range of work being delivered at Wac Arts for young people with His Royal Highness.
The event hosted by London Youth focused on presenting the work being done for the young people on sports development as well as inclusive and accessible opportunities being offered to the young people. His Royal Highness visited the young people in their evening classes as part of the event hosted by London Youth. The students showed off their skills in aerials, fencing, animation and lots more, and he was extremely excited to watch such positive young people doing what they love.
The evening exceeded our expectations. The guests visited our fully inclusive projects which demonstrated our innovative approach to combining the arts, sport and technology. Seeing Wac Arts activities in practice gives the best insight into what our organisation is really about and the young people were keen to explain what they were doing and what it means to be a member of the WAC Arts family. We were all impressed by the energy of HRH and his understanding of young people in today's society.
The visit by The Royal Highness gave us the opportunity to demonstrate the important holistic approach we use to support young people from all different backgrounds and circumstances to reach their full potential. The involvement of our students gave them the chance to give their own perspective on youth work and offer their unique insight into the impact that Wac Arts has on their lives.
Thank you London Youth for organising this amazing event and giving the young people at Wac Arts this opportunity!

As most of you have probably pieced together by now, my girlfriend moved out and away to California for a new job, and I will be joining her out there in a few months.
Something I'm really stressing out about right now is what to do about my own job situation, i.e. I don't know how to go about looking for a job in my new location. Do I try looking for one now? Or do I wait until I get out there? I'm leaning toward waiting until I get out there, but that also makes me super nervous. I'm just worried I'm going to run out of money before I can find a job. I know that some of this anxiety is due to the fact I was unemployed for a miserable 7 months last year, but I also know the difference is that last year I was unemployed in a small town with a stagnant economy whereas I'm moving to San Jose, which is part of a huge metropolitan area. How do I approach this job search?
I know it seems like I've been asking for help with big decisions a lot lately, but I don't really have a lot of people around me IRL right now so GT is the next best thing.

(CNN) -- The president was young, a Harvard-educated intellectual admired for his charisma and skill with the written word.
His foe was pious but ruthless, the head of a massive oil corporation that supplied 90 percent of America's oil.
When Theodore Roosevelt tangled with oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, near the turn of the 20th century, he became the first president to pit the power of the White House against the power of oil.
Roosevelt ultimately won that battle in 1911 when the U.S. Supreme Court approved the breakup of the Standard Oil Company, Rockefeller's company. But oil has tarred other presidents, and may do the same to President Obama as he tries to manage the Gulf of Mexico disaster, says Nancy Koehn, a historian at Harvard Business School.
"He needs to deal with this in a politically effective way or he's going to go down in oil-tinged fumes," Koehn says. "This is a make or break moment for his presidency."
How oil boosted the success of one American president
Oil doesn't just foul the ocean, it can destroy a presidency, historians say.
One president sealed his greatness with his handling of an oil crisis. Another was doomed by his inability to contain an oil crisis, scholars say.
President Eisenhower was the first president to warn the nation about oil in 1957, says James Hedtke, a history professor at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pennsylvania.
"He was the first president to mention oil in the State of the Union message," Hedtke says. "He talked about the United States' dependency on oil."
Other presidents delivered the same talk -- Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush -- but America's dependence on foreign oil continued to grow.
One president did convince Americans to cut back on their consumption of oil.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the first president to grapple with an oil shortage in war time, says Jonathan Emord, a Washington attorney who has written publicly about Obama's cleanup efforts.
After World War II erupted, Roosevelt formed the Petroleum Industry War Council to ensure the military's access to oil. And he convinced Americans to accept the need to ration oil, Emord says.
"Rather than tax his presidency," Emord says, "rationing became generally accepted and bolstered the perception that he was uniting the nation in the war effort."
Roosevelt could not have led the U.S. to victory in World War II had he not ensured that the nation had access to oil, and its enemies didn't, says Richard Heinberg, author of "The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies."
The German army's march across Western Europe and Russia; Japan's decision to attack America and its subsequent defeat -- all revolved around the need for oil, Heinberg says.
"FDR was very much aware of the power of oil," Heinberg says. "World War II was very much about oil."
How oil doomed another president
Nixon and Ford made national pleas for energy independence after the OPEC crisis of the 1970s, when a boycott from oil-producing countries produced long gas lines in the United States.
One president became wildly popular when he fought a war that some say was sparked by a need for oil.
The elder President Bush's approval rating soared to an all-time high in 1991 after the American and coalition forces kicked Saddam Hussein's army out of Kuwait, home to about 20 percent of the world's oil reserves, says Hedtke, the history professor from Cabrini College in Pennsylvania.
"His [Bush] approval ratings were about 90 percent, '' Hedtke says. "If the economy hadn't fallen apart, it might have given him a second term."
His son, President George W. Bush, launched an invasion of Iraq that some critics said was based on the need for more oil.
But the president whose term was most profoundly shaped by oil was Carter, some historians say.
During Carter's term, the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran led to a significant drop in oil exports. The subsequent Iran-Iraq War caused oil prices to rise in the United States as well.
He went on television wearing a cardigan sweater and asked Americans to turn their thermostats down to 68. He called for putting quotas on oil imports, installing solar panels and spending enormous amounts of money on energy research, Heinberg says.
The American public, though, didn't want to tighten their belts. They subsequently elected Reagan, who removed the solar panels Carter installed at the White House and said America deserved its easy motoring way of life, Heinberg says.
The lesson for politicians was clear: Don't ask Americans to sacrifice their desire for cheap oil, Heinberg says.
"Politicians look at it as the 'Carter curse,' " Heinberg says. "You can't just tell the American people the truth anymore. You can't call for bold action."
What Obama can learn from Teddy Roosevelt
At least one other president challenged the nation with bold action, and succeeded. President John Kennedy challenged the nation to put a person on the moon within a decade.
Could Obama issue a similar challenge in the name of building a petroleum-free future?
Paul Roberts, author of "The End of Oil," says Obama faces a more difficult task than Kennedy.
"We've had cheap oil for such a long time that's it's very hard for the average consumer to see why they shouldn't be entitled to it forever," Roberts says.
But Koehn, the Harvard historian, says Obama could learn from Teddy Roosevelt.
Roosevelt campaigned relentlessly against Rockefeller, who had transformed Standard Oil into a monopoly through ruthless business practices. The president conducted whistle-stop tours, wrote op-ed pieces, invited industry leaders to the White House to talk about the danger of an oil company gaining too much power.
"Go directly to the people and say these are the two things -- it can't be 160 things -- that we need to do," Koehn says. "Americans are dying to be of service. But he's not issuing a call to arms."
The time for that call is long overdue because the only oil now available is in far-off places that present huge environmental and financial risks, she says.
"There is not going to be any easy pickings out there -- no more Beverly Hillbilly gushers left to be discovered in the backyards of Dallas," Koehn says.
The country may face another oil crisis as soon as a decade from now, says Heinberg, who is also a senior fellow at the Carbon Institute, a nonprofit think tank in Santa Rosa, California.
Heinberg believes it could include people freezing to death in the winter in the Northeast; farmers going bankrupt because they can't afford to pay fuel prices; the chemical industry collapsing because it doesn't have enough oil to make plastic.
Time isn't running out -- it has already run out, Heinberg says.
"What is humanly possible and politically possible are two different things," Heinberg says. "We've lived without oil for thousands of years until the last century so, yes, we can do it.
"But the transition is going to be wrenching unless we prepare for it. We should have prepared for it but we blew it."

The More Things Change...
Please don't forget to let us know when you find the tree, as I would love to get one for my soldier.
Sure hope you hear from the guys real soon.
Hi Mom, Yes, yesterday was a bad day for me. I have been thinking about your (our) guys and Dan. I haven't heard from him for 3 days and he has not been on my site for 2 days. But like you said no news is good news. Glad to see your post. God Bless our troops.
I've heard that there are "black-outs" when there has been casualties, no outside communications, so that might be whats going on.
I'm so happy to see that Noah is home and doing well. Still praying here.
Take care
I have 3 cookie recipes that ship great!!
Russian tea cookies
Monster cookies
chocolate revel bars
in fact the russian tea cookies, and chocolate revel bars have been shipped to 4 generations of "fighting" men on my Dear Husbands family.
Pack in coffee cans, filled with popcorn.....
I will try and round those recipes up for ya.
We sent a package that way last week & have another going this week...I thought the same thing when I read the news report, but also know that 'no news is good news'...keep us posted.
I am so glad Noah is home and doing better. Please let me know if you need help getting anything together. I have helped the lady I work for ship things to Iraq to her brother and fellow soldiers. She has a few recipes that seemed to do alright in shipping so far ahead of time for Christmas. I'd be happy to gather things up from here and ship them to you. Just send me a list of things you are looking for and I will try to get people here to donate stuff.
Came here by the way of several other blogs (can't hope to re-create my path).
Sorry to hear about Noah, glad that he's home and doing better. Will keep him in my thoughts.
I am still praying for you and Noah glad that he seems to be doing better. I know that the news can send you into a panic, especially if you don't hear from the people you know for a while. Just remember that you need to turn them over to God or you will drive yourself crazy with worry. And remember that we are all praying for our troops.
So glad to hear that your Noah is doing better. You remain in my prayers! Thank you for the wonderful blog/writing!
