Summer practice
My daughter, 7, first violin lesson started in January. We love the teacher! I do not have a musical background at all so we rely heavy on his lessons to keep her on track. He does not offer summer classes. Should I supplement his lessons with a teacher in the summer? We are still learning to balance practice between her once a week lessons and I'm afraid if she doesn't have proper instruction for the 3 months of summer break she will be starting over. I sit in with her lessons to help learn what I can but music is almost a foreign language to me :) Is this something anyone has dealt with? how has your child responded to an new teacher?
Hello Patricia,
My experience as a Suzuki parent for the last 2 1/2
years is that summer is a great opportunity to maintain current repertoire and listen to lots of music. Are you listening to the entire recording of your book everyday? Make that a goal for the whole summer. Play everyday and maintain your current level. Have fun. Go to a music camp.
Make the most of the break. Then things will pick right up again in September.
Dave Harper
Linda L Ford
This is a very good question—one that we, too, are working out this year for the first time. My daughter is also 7. We recently moved to a new city and changed teachers. Her teacher here, who is excellent, takes a well-deserved summer break. So we've also been thinking about what we'll do. In our case, she is going to:
- Work on repertoire for a wedding she was asked to play for.
- Find a piece and prepare it for a fiddle contest in September
- Attend Suzuki institutes
- Keep up with her review
If your daughter began in January she won't have a lot of repertoire to practice but she can make the fundamentals the focus.
- Bow hold: practice the bow hold.
- Practice habit—begin the habit of practicing every day. Starting that during the summer when other demands on her time are fewer may be easier.
- Tone—focus on drawing a straight bow, relaxing the weight of the bow arm into the string.
- Posture—is the instrument well-placed on the shoulder. How does the left hand look? Is the right shoulder relaxed? You can ask her teacher to set her up then take photos for reference use during the summer.
- Listening—listen to the Book 1 reference recording every day. Get Book 2 and start listening to that. I'm a strong believer in listening ahead because even if they are not going to learn the piece for years, they will have it subconsciously in their heads. And it's inspiring to hear what's coming up next!
These are so important that even if she's not actively taking lessons during the summer, the payoffs will be tremendous. It will take some creativity—making up games and contests around these focal points to keep it interesting and fresh. So much of progress in Suzuki comes down to daily practice, listening, and review. I don't think she'll have a problem.
Thank you Mr. harper and Mr. Duncan! I think you are right about utilizing the summer to perfect what we have learned these last few weeks! She is very new and gets frustrated very quickly at home. I also love the idea of listening ahead! Thanks so much for your ideas.
We had similar thoughts and wanted to enhance with summer lessons somewhat complicated in that we travel most of the summer. Our teacher stated they would offer some summer classes but was traveling and ultimately did not send their availability. My partner and I discussed it and thought we should not pester our teacher during their summer break.
We reached out to a teacher in our area with whom we had a master class organized by our teacher. We were directed to clear it with our teacher first. Our teacher was extremely offended and took this to mean we were looking to switch studios. Ultimately our teacher reviewed our correspondence requesting a summer workshop and was further offended by our inquiry not containing their name. We were dismissed and told this would teach us a lesson.
We were with our teacher for several years.
I am very sorry to read of Alena Lu's experience.
I find the question really appropriate…How to keep the momentum and motivation of regular lessons and regular practicing going through the summer months?
I love Alan Duncan's bullets. I am going to forward the whole conversation to all my students who are taking 4 or 8 Summer Tuesday Master Classes either with me or with a colleague who teaches in my school. There is no offence to be taken. It is somewhat refreshing for a child and home coach parents to hear the same piano basics assigned with just a slightly different nuance, vocabulary or imagery. And it is also reassuring to realize that the Suzuki Music School Repertoire instills scaffolds of skills built on repetition and mastery of earlier points of skill.
"Never hurry, never stop" ESPECIALLY in the long, lazy days of summer.
Dear Alena,
I am shocked to see the words your "old" teacher used to "teach you a lesson" … I honestly think that your child is better off with another teacher, someone who cares more about your child's music education than a fragile ego!
You did nothing wrong and need to perservere. While I agree with Alan Duncan's suggestions, I believe that it's very beneficial to have some lessons during the summer. The difference is noticeable and painful when a child takes no summer lessons or did not go to a summer institute, I am a big fan of summer institutes! If you have not gone to a summer institute, you should go to one this summer. It's magical and transformational! This is our 3rd year and my kids love it.
My 7 year old daughter plays the piano and my 5 year old daughter plays the violin and we are very fortunate to have great Suzuki teachers and to be a part of a big Suzuki music school, where students are free to take summer lessons with any teachers. Like Elizabeth Sherk (our piano teacher) says, it's very refreshing for both the parent and the child to see the different approaches to the same Suzuki repertoire.
I'm a Suzuki mom to three kids of 6 instruments (3 piano, one violin, one cello, one flute). And I teach flute. Here's a couple of my thoughts.
Listening is like free practice for sure.
Bad habits creep in easily when lessons are sparse and practice continues. If there is any uncertainty of technique (bow hold etc) etc. it might be better to wait until lessons resume than to continue something that may have to be re-learned later? After saying that, a good teacher can help a child fix a bad habit without a lot of undue stress.
Enjoy the summer!
I'm actually in kind of an opposite boat. One of my kids teachers seems to think that since they have no school over the summer they should be practicing even more! She loads them up with extra reading assignments and all sorts. I wouldn't mind a summer off!

Lake Baikal
24 Dec 2005
|6179km from Hong Kong.
The world's deepest Lake with 20% of all of the worlds fresh water.
From Ulaan Bataar to Moscow on Train Number 5, The Trans-Mongolian Express, or Mobile Gulag No5, or, across Siberia on a Multi-stop delivery vehicle with a bunch or raving alcoholics.
After the very pleasant, friendly and comfortable trip up to UB from Beijing I was expecting similar from Train No5. I walked to the station as I had 2 hours between checking out of the hostel and getting on the train. There was a big traffic jam around the station when I got near so maybe it was a good idea not to catch a taxi. The cause of the traffic jam was a person collapsed in the middle of the road, surrounded by his drunken friends, there was no sign of an accident so I assume he had a bottle of vodka too many.
I got on the train fairly quickly when it pulled into the station to nab the box under the bottom bunk to store my bag, there was one Russian guy in the compartment when I got to it and although he looked fairly merry he seemed harmless enough and reasonably friendly. We were soon joined by two Mongolian women and their 2 tonne luggage allowance (and the guide books say that the luggage allowance of 35kg is strictly enforced).
As soon as the train pulled out of the station the Mongolian women disappeared for a while and the Russian guys mates all turned up and were all extremely more pissed than he was. The worst was an absolute wreck (Nik 1) who kept talking and talking to me in Russian and, however much I tried to explain that I couldn't understand a word, he carried on and on and on. By this time the vodka had come out and they were trying to force me to join in the drinking. I was worried about getting out of Mongolia as my visa had potentially expired depending on how they count the days and wanted my wits about me so refused, probably offending them but I don't care. At some point the Mongolians came back with another consignment of luggage and started shuffling that about and trying to stash it about the carriage and all of the Russians except for Nik 1 went back next door. I eventually found out that they were a group of 5 Afghan Veterans working in the gold mines of Mongolia going home for a week for New Year, 3 Niks and an Alex in the next compartment and Jane (Yevgeny) in mine. Eventually Nik 1 gave up on me and went off to join the others.
At 9pm we reached the Mongolian side of the Mongolia/Russia border which passed without incident only taking an hour or two, the guy just stamped my passport with barely a glance at the visa. As all of the forms were in English and Mongolian, I had to help the other 3 to fill them in, when the girls asked if they should put Mongolia in the "Citizenship" box I said yes (I did wonder why they didn't use the Mongolian side of the form) but when the immigration officer came round I saw that they actually had Russian passports. Fortunately, the passport stamper saw the funny side and made a joke of their mistake.
The Russian side was much more eventful, first off a customs bod came along dishing out currency declaration forms, I took a quick look at it an realised that the entire form was in Russian, I ran down the train chasing him and eventually got one in English. Then Helga, the shot-putting Immigration Officer, came into the compartment demanding passports. We were all made to go into the corridor and look her in the eye when she checked our passports, she then asked me for some other form, but I had no idea what she wanted. She screamed down the corridor for the Provodnista to bring an English Entry-Exit form and gave her a right mouthful for not having already given me one. I filled it in then handed it over to Helga who then obviously went off for breakfast as we didn't see her again for another few hours.
Then the fun really began when the "customs mechanics" came along with their screwdrivers and spanners and tried to dismantle the train. My compartment was actually untouched and the young customs interrogator was very pleasant and spoke perfect English with me, I think that might have been part of the reason that the "Mongolians" stashed most of their loot in the compartment with the foreigner. The next door compartment was almost down to bare structural steelwork, the floor of the corridor lifted and the ceiling space fully checked. The Provodnista got another hard time from these guys as they asked her lots of questions and checked all of her compartment.
When Helga came back with our documents we were then free to get off the train. According to the timetable we had about an hour until the train left so I went looking for a currency exchange but when I reached the end of the train my confidence deserted me and I didn't want to be out of running range of the train, I've heard many stories of people getting left behind and at -10C I didn't feel like a night outside. My choice was good as about 10 minutes later the train trundled off into Russia although it didn't go very far before reversing to what I assume was a different part of the station, finally getting under way properly on time at 3am.
I was surprised but happy to find that everyone hit the sack soon after we started off again, Jane's snoring was bad but not as bad as Nik 1's incessant Russian babble. I must have fallen quite heavily asleep as I only just woke up at about 6am when we arrived in Ulan Ude and the 2 Mongolian Russians left the train with their cargo. This was the start of the time confusion zone as all trains in Russia Run on Moscow time, I tried sticking to local time. The sunrise was either at 9:30am or 3:30am depending on which you use, at this point I got out of bed and made a coffee and had a read. I was making another coffee when Jane, Nik et al came piling into the corridor to tell me that we had reached Lake Baikal. I went back and we all watched the lake roll past. Having just got out of bed, NIk was obviously very low in his blood alcohol levels so quickly opened a beer and more vodka to correct the imbalance, again I was offered and, although I did want to have a drink with them as their intentions were good, I couldn't face it that early in the morning and had to pass again. I was charging my mobile phone when they headed off to the restaurant car so I stayed to watch Lake Baikal.

Reindeer Games by Kenzie Cade
Reindeer Games
Author: Kenzie Cade
Title: Reindeer Games
Series: None
Genre: Paranormal
Pairing: M/M
Length: Novella
Rating: Four Petals
On the Author's Website:
Dashing von Stride has one thing on his mind: winning the window display contest for the Miracle on Main Christmas Contest. His plans are set and ready—and then he walks into his toy store, Reindeer Games, to find a sleigh that shouldn't be there. The mystery sleigh sparks a new plan, however, and now all Dash needs is the perfect Santa to model his display after.
This year, the pranks with his reindeer have gotten out of hand. Instead of preparing for the Big Day, Niklaus Kringle is hunting for his missing sleigh. Locating it should have been easy, but games easily won are seldom worth playing...
Maggie's Review:
I received this book as an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
A hallmark of a well-written book is whether it elicits an emotional response from a reader. What that means is if I keep my reviews purely analytical, I would be doing myself and anyone who reads these reviews a disservice. This book tugged on the heartstrings with every well-crafted sentence, which is why Reindeer Games received four petals instead of three.
I found myself unconsciously smiling the entire time I was reading this story. It was that adorable and that much fun. I do have to admit I rolled my eyes at the fact that the main character was called Dashing von Stride, but the cheesy name fit with the tone of the rest of the story. It was a sugary sweet, everyone is on Santa's good list, fun ride on the sleigh.
That said, there were a few issues. The plot kept jumping around. It felt like there were a number of different plot ideas Cade attempted to weave together, but was never able to fully realize them. First the story focused on the contest the town holds over the best Christmas-themed window display, but that plot was completed as only an afterthought in the epilogue. Then the plot was about Dash's mean, cheating neighbor, whose conclusion was also relegated to a short mention in the epilogue. The plot subsequently moved on to Dash's absent family and how the von Strides were important elves, but that idea is never fully expanded. We learn why Dashing was left in the town, but even though the mystery of what happened to the rest of the von Stride family is brought up multiple times, it was forgotten entirely by the end of the story. It didn't even get a mention in the epilogue. I would say it's an excellent set up for a sequel, but I don't see any signs Cade is planning to write one.
The one plot that did work was the romance. I enjoy reading insta-love when it's done right and it was done right here. The magic, or fate, that let Dashing and Nik know they were meant to be together was fully explained. This was a short story, so there wasn't a lot of build-up before they jumped in bed, but it was enough for me to believe that, magic or not, they were going to be together for life.
Maggie's Recommendation:
I enjoyed reading this story. The plot was a little sparse at times, but the spirit and joy of the holiday season that filled every page made me willing to overlook any issues. I do recommend this book to those looking for a fun and easy holiday read.

Loving, listening, welcoming: the feminine resources in everyone.
This is the title we have chosen for our next conference, to be held on May 8th, on Mother's day, at the Congress Centre of the Faculty of Sociology of Sapienza University of Rome. The event is part of the educational and pedagogical programme which lies at the heart of our association and whose main objective is to help people rediscover the value of the feminine principle.
We have thus been inspired to renew our commitment to our work by organizing a new meeting which will explore the ability to tap into and make space for the feminine resources that belong to each and every one of us, in contrast to the current emphasis on speed, efficiency and profit above all else.
To complement the conference we are also preparing a publication that will include the "best practices" which highlight the positive effects of the ability to love, listen to and welcome others – not only as the very foundation of a good relationship with oneself and with others, but also as a way to foster positive and harmonious outcomes in all kinds of relationships and activities.
We have committed to these projects because we believe that radical change of the dominant cultural paradigms is the only way to bring about an improvement of society. And it is for this reason that we have chosen to partner with Sapienza University of Rome for its continued dedication to passing on "virtue and knowledge" (as Dante Alighieri would have it) to future generations, despite the existing difficulties.
We want to thank you all in advance for your contribution to this initiative, whose final aim is to foster a true cultural renaissance.
Project created by
Graduated in Sociology in 2002, then undertakes a professional training in counseling, choosing to devote herself exclusively to the profession. Through studies and ongoing commitment in the self-help relationship, Dr. Vandini understands that most of the suffering in people comes from the denial of the value of feminine. From this awareness comes this project which aims to propose a new education system for a real inner well-being.

Abstract. The magnetic field within a few hundred parsecs of the center of the Galaxy is
an essential component of any description of that region. The field has several pronounced
observational manifestations: 1) morphological structures such as nonthermal radio filaments
(NTFs) – magnetic flux tubes illuminated by synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons
– and a remarkable, large-scale, helically wound structure, 2) relatively strong polarization of
thermal dust emission from molecular clouds, presumably resulting from magnetic alignment of
the rotating dust grains, and 3) synchrotron emission from cosmic rays. Because most of the
NTFs are roughly perpendicular to the Galactic plane, the implied large-scale geometry of the
magnetic field is dipolar. Estimates of the mean field strength vary from tens of microgauss to
∼ a milligauss. The merits and weaknesses of the various estimations are discussed here. If the
field strength is comparable to a milligauss, then the magnetic field is able to exert a strong
influence on the dynamics of molecular clouds, on the collimation of a Galactic wind, and on
the lifetimes and bulk motions of relativistic particles. Related to the question of field strength
is the question of whether the field is pervasive throughout the central zone of the Galaxy, or
whether its manifestations are predominantly localized phenomena. Current evidence favors the
pervasive model.

Book Review: The Bible in History
David W. Kling, The Bible in History: How the Texts Have Shaped the Times (Oxford University Press, 2004).
As acknowledged in the preface, I was consulted for bibliographic input for one of the chapters of this book several years back. I have only just now finished reading the final result so that I can review it. David W. Kling, an evangelical Presbyterian with a Ph.D. in American Religious History from the University of Chicago, teaches on the religious studies faculty of the University of Miami, FL. He has given us a very rare book here, but one that I hope creates several emulators.
Books on the inspiration and authority of Scripture are legion. So are books on the nature of the canon, books on hermeneutical theory, etc. What is rare are book-length treatments about how particular biblical texts have been interpreted and shaped particular movements in Christian history. (One of the few examples to come to mind is Willard Swartley's Slavery, Sabbath, War, and Women: Case Issues in Biblical Interpretation [Herald Press, 1983].) Kling proceeds to look at eight (8) influential movements (and/or debates) in Christian history through the lens of eight (8) separate texts of Scripture that played pivotal roles in those movements. The cases chosen for examination are:
- St. Anthony and the rise of monasticism ("If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then, come, follow me." Matt. 19:22).
- The primacy of Peter and the Papacy ("Upon this rock I will build my church." Matt. 16:18.)
- Bernard of Clairvaux, Medieval mysticism and the Song of Songs ("Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth." Song of Songs 1:2-4)
- Martin Luther and the Reformation focus on justification ("For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, 'The one who is righteous will live by faith.'" Rom. 1:16-17.)
- Anabaptists and Christian Pacifism ("But I say to you, 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'" Matt. 5:44b) (Yes, this is the chapter I was consulted on in David's early research stages, but the results are still his and I was seeing them for the first time. I also gave a few bibliographic suggestions for chaps. 6 & 8.)
- Exodus in the African-American Experience ("Go to Pharoah and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD: Let my people go that they may worship me!'" Ex. 8:1)
- The roots of Pentecostalism ("All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability." Acts 2:4)
- 19th C. and contemporary debates over women's ministry and ordination ("There is no longer Jew nor Greek, there is no longer slave nor free, there is no longer male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3:28)
Obviously many other texts and movements or controversies could have been chosen, but this is quite a selection. For each chapter, Kling examines contemporary biblical scholarship on the passages–which sometimes supports and sometimes opposes the way the passage was interpreted in the selected movement, the influence of other passages on the movement, other intellectual and cultural factors (e.g., ascetic impulses throughout the Greco-Roman world at the time of the rise of monasticism), the overall approach of the movement to the whole of Scripture, and the reactions of other movements (even counter movements) to the selected movement. In this way, we get insights into how a passage functioned in a particular historical period as well as how it has continued to impact the church since then.
Works like this are invaluable. Scholars can debate theories of biblical authority or hermeneutics all they wish, but they need to be in dialogue with studies that show how Scripture has actually functioned at different periods of church life. Just as the late Jaroslav Pelikan gave us a work of overwhelming importance in examining the differing christologies of church history (in Jesus Through the Centuries), so Kling has furthered our understanding of the roles that Scripture (especially particular texts of Scripture) have played throughout church history. I recommend this book highly.
Question: If you were contemplating writing a sequel, what movements and/or texts would you want to feature? (Notice that I am NOT asking what you would write, instead, such a book about the historical background of the texts in their original setting, etc. which are plentiful and helpful. I am not asking what you think Kling should have written instead of this book–especially if you haven't yet read it.)

For sure I'd be interested in reading about Romans 2… I read somewhere that Paul's little jab at women who traded in the natural for unnatural was interpreted by some Church fathers as referring to reverse role-playing in idol worship (women with strap-ons penetrating men… you get the idea)… which may (or may not) have implications for how the text is used in debates over homosexuality…
I'd also want to read about vegetarianism in light of the Genesis Creation stories (where God gives fruits and veggies to Adam and Eve for food) or Isaiah 11 (the great vision of God's (vegetarian) Reign).
The book sounds fascinating. 🙂

Thanks for the review. Looks very interesting. Adding it to my reading list. Oh, so many books….
Comment by Chris Huff | May 15, 2007
I think it's really important to view how certain texts have been interpreted throughout history. But, I think the goal in doing this should be to examine how we have allowed the reigning culture to shape our understanding of the text, rather than us letting the text shape how we view the reigning culture. The real effort in Biblical interpretation should be to get back to the culture at the time the passage was inspired. In this way we can understand how the original audience understood the particular passage – what the Holy Spirit was saying to them. Once we have properly understood this, then we can better understand how the text should apply to us today. We need to remember that the Holy Spirit inspired the text once and there there is only one proper interpretation to the text – the original intent of the Holy Spirit to the original audience. After all, a text can never mean what it never originally meant. The Holy Spirit (the Godhead, for that matter) does not change, thus we can be sure that the Word that God has inspired doesn't change either. Because of that, getting back to the original meaning of the text is essential in properly applying it to our culture.
Also, (briefly) to Daniel – I think you have misled in your reading. The Church Fathers were clear and unanimous in how they viewed Romans 1:24-27. It is evident that they understood this even as the Jews and Greeks did (see Babylonian Talmud and Plato's Symposium), which was that the exchange of natural functions by women and men was homosexuality, not merely some strange sexual perversion. For actual quotes by the Church Fathers (as well as a case for the traditional view of interpretation of Romans 1, you can go here – Homosexuality and The Apostle Paul: A Study on Romans 1:26-27 (Church Father quotes can be found in the comments section).
Comment by D.R. Randle | May 15, 2007
Again Michael,
You find ways to discount my views without actually dealing with my arguments. The "Pope Benedict" comment is yet another example of an ad hominem and a red herring. First, I did look at Daniel's blog and yet I still felt I should leave my comment (so maybe it was you who jumped to judgment there). Second, my comment about the original intent of the author and inspiration of the Holy Spirit was in reaction to your statement, "Scholars can debate theories of biblical authority or hermeneutics all they wish, but they need to be in dialogue with studies that show how Scripture has actually functioned at different periods of church life." I was pointing out that I find historical theology to be secondary to Biblical theology and hermeneutics. Third, whether my view is modernist doesn't discredit it. It seems to be the position of the Early Church Fathers as well as the Reformers. I'll take that over some johnny-come-lately philosophical garbage like postmodernism which essentially denies logic like the Law of Non-Contradiction. Finally, I am glad you brought up a Catholic perspective by comparing me to Pope Benedict. I can say that to the extent that Pope Benedict speaks correctly about Scripture as inspired by the Holy Spirit I agree with him. But obviously I certainly disagree with his view of the elevation of Tradition to Scripture. That is why it is absolutely necessary for us to seek to understand how the original hearers understood the text – so that we do not confuse our cultural readings with the culture of the first Christians, thus causing us to adopt traditions that do not conform to the Holy Spirit's original intent. Thanks for helping me to make my point on that one.
One more thing – why do you always feel it is appropriate to take pot shots at me, as if that fosters discussion? For someone who seems to pride himself about an open mind, you seem very closed off and hostile to my point of view.
Comment by D.R. Randle | May 15, 2007
What happened to your comment to me? Did it get deleted accidentally or did you remove it? Also, I noticed that you added some clarification to your question. If you did so because of my comments, then let me address a possible misunderstanding. I believe that historical theology is deeply important, so I didn't write what I did to suggest that King wasted his time or should have written a different book (as I said above they were written in response to your statement which I quoted). In fact, I think James Leo Garrett's 2 Volume Systematic Theology is an invaluable resource because of this. And in light of this let me put forth a few texts the historical interpretations of which would be good to examine – Matt. 24:30-31, Mark 7:27-29, John 6:35-40, Romans 13:1-7, 1 Peter 3:18-20, 2 Peter 2:1, Revelation 3:15-16, and Rev. 22:18-19.

I get the following error when i try to access phpmyadmin on my windows pc:
MySQL said:
Cannot connect: invalid settings.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
I think the cause is that the default username("root") and password("") was changed by a software i was trying to install.
How do I bring everything back to normal, I was thinking of un-installing and re-installing before, but im afraid of loosing
my existing database which i cannot access to back up.

Sound the fire alarm, exit the building and/or attempt to extinguish the fire. That's the answer. But which direction do you need to take? Where is the alarm button, where is the fire extinguisher, and how do you make your way outside in safety? That's what safety signs tell us, just like fire signs, emergency exits and other signs do.
And where are your safety signs, and how well can you recognise them from where you are right now? If you can answer these two questions with a ''here'' and a ''well good'', then you're already likely to know exactly what you need and can start scrolling straight to the product of your choice.
However, it could well be that you don't have all the information about the specified sizes and ranges for safety signs, or that you would like to find out more about the topic of fire protection? Then you've come to the right place.
Fire protection signs are safety signs that are used to mark the fire extinguishing equipment necessary for fire fighting. Affixing the signs to these equipment items is mandatory in workplaces. This aims to ensure that fire alarms and fire fighting equipment can be found quickly. Fire protection signs have been standardised for many years now. The current system of safety signs was incorporated into ASR A1.3 in February 2013. According to EN ISO 7010, a fire protection sign always consists of a white pictogram on a red background. Since they do not feature text, they are suitable for international use. All twelve fire protection signs are available in our webshop.
The height at which fire protection signs are usually affixed is approx. 200 – 220 cm (door frame height). It is important that fire fighting equipment can be found even when they are concealed from view by an object. Depending on the type of sign, there are different ways to affix fire protection signs.
You can buy fire protection signs from us as two-dimensional, V-shaped signs, or as one-dimensional L-shaped signs. Select the ''standard'' sign type if you would like to order your fire protection symbol as an adhesive film.
Differently sized signs can also be selected, because the recognition range, i.e. the distance from which the sign is visible, also varies. You can find out more about this in our purchasing guide to recognition ranges.
Please note: if the lighting fails at your company, your safety signs still have to be visible. That's why we have photoluminescent signs that will point you in the right direction even in the dark.
Please contact us if you have any questions. We will be happy to help you choose fire protection signs that comply with workplace directives, even though we hope you'll never actually need them.

Award Will Support Efforts to Provide Adults With Skills Needed for Today's Jobs
(TOPEKA) – Helping adults in Kansas earn the credentials and skills they need to get and succeed in family-sustaining jobs is a key to fueling the economy and boosting employment. Jobs for the Future (JFF) has announced that the Kansas Board of Regents, in partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce, has been awarded a $1.6 million grant to support efforts to ensure more workers have the skills they need through innovative adult education that provides a valuable credential. The three-year grants are part of Accelerating Opportunity: A Breaking Through Initiative, supported by a strategic partnership of five of the nation's leading philanthropies.
Nationally, over 26 million adults lack a high school diploma. While just over 2.5 million of these individuals are enrolled in adult basic education programs, only 3% actually earn a postsecondary credential, with many leaving after only a semester or two. By 2018, 64 percent of all Kansas jobs will require workers with some form of postsecondary credentials. The trend of more jobs requiring postsecondary credentials, combined with the large number of adults without credentials, exacerbates the current difficulty employers report in finding qualified workers who can fill skilled positions.
"In Kansas more than 900,000 working-age adults lack a meaningful postsecondary credential that would enable them to find employment in high-demand occupations like healthcare and advanced manufacturing," said Andy Tompkins, President and CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents. "The AO-K initiative enables us to partner with our community and technical colleges and provide vital education and training that can change lives and respond to Kansas business needs by providing the highly-skilled workforce necessary to promote and sustain economic growth."
Accelerating Opportunity seeks to change the way adult basic education is delivered by putting adult students on track to earn a postsecondary credential so they can seize the opportunity to earn family-sustaining wages. Accelerating Opportunity is funded by a strategic collaboration of diverse philanthropies including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations. For program and implementation expertise, Jobs for the Future (JFF) has engaged the National Council on Workforce Education, National College Transition Network and the Washington State Board of Community & Technical Colleges as partners.
"In order to ensure that more workers have the skills they need for today's good jobs, a change is needed in the way adult basic education is structured and delivered at the state and institutional levels in this country," says JFF President and CEO Marlene B. Seltzer. "With the support of our funders, partners and participating states, we will focus on redesigning these programs to significantly increase the number of adults obtaining credentials that lead to family-sustaining jobs and long-lasting career opportunities."
Kansas was one of eleven states previously awarded a $200,000 design grant in August to support efforts to redesign adult basic education and postsecondary programs. After the design stage, the Kansas Board of Regents was eligible to compete for the implementation grant. Educational pathways to higher skills, credentials, and employment will be rigorously tested and independently evaluated. This evidence will be provided to philanthropy, labor, employers, adult education planners and other stakeholders in Kansas and around the country to ensure that adult education programs lead to postsecondary credentials and good jobs.
The Board of Regents will partner with nine community and technical colleges during the three-year implementation grant. The college partners are: Butler Community College, Dodge City Community College, Garden City Community College, Hutchinson Community College, Kansas City Kansas Community College, Neosho County Community College, Seward County Community College, Washburn Institute of Technology and Wichita Area Technical College.
"I am delighted that the Kansas Board of Regents has been recognized as a leader in promoting educational opportunities that can help Kansas citizens create a better future for themselves and their families," said Pat George, Secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce. "Our public community and technical colleges have a vital role to play to ensure that Kansas has the highly skilled workforce businesses need to move the Kansas economy forward."
Accelerating Opportunity is informed by JFF's Breaking Through initiative, which has promoted the support of 41 community colleges in 22 states to improve career pathways and postsecondary education for under-skilled adults.
"Accelerating Opportunity is expanding the professional horizons of Americans across the country – regardless of age or background – by helping them earn credentials and learn skills that have real value to employers," says Maria Flynn, JFF vice president, Building Economic Opportunity. "Accelerating Opportunity meets workers where they are regardless of skill level or language proficiency, preparing them for today's labor market by helping to develop foundational skills that create better opportunities for employment."
Accelerating Opportunity: A Breaking Through Initiative is a multi-state effort managed by Jobs for the Future that promotes improved academic access and economic opportunity for low-skilled adults. This effort seeks to reform adult basic education and postsecondary systems by integrating basic skills with occupational training and adequate institutional support for adult learners, ensuring they receive the postsecondary credentials needed to succeed in high-skilled jobs and break the cycle of poverty in their communities. Accelerating Opportunity is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations. For more information, visit www.acceleratingopportunity.org.
About the Kansas Board of Regents:
The nine-member Kansas Board of Regents, founded in 1925 and established in the Kansas Constitution, is the governing board of the six state universities and the statewide coordinating board for the state's 32 public higher education institutions (six state universities, one municipal university, 19 community colleges, and six technical colleges). In addition, the Board administers the state's student financial aid, adult education, GED, career and technical education programs, and the state university retirement plans. The Board also approves private proprietary schools and out-of-state institutions to operate in Kansas, and administers the Kan-ed network, a statewide network that provides broadband Internet access and distance learning capabilities for schools, hospitals, and libraries.

A quick round up on our last days in Scotland, and Autumn/Winter plans – stay tuned for another blog post detailing our seasonal highlights.
Yesterday it rained all day, that typical Scottish rain they have a word for "Dreach" and just so wet that after a thrilling sail round Ardnamurchan, we gave up trying to do any more sailing and went below to read and eat cake. However, this morning is totally different and after a quick breakfast, it was an ideal opportunity to discover Rum. Some of us headed for the hills on the Croft 3 walk, up along the hill where the Rum ponies graze, out to the wilder landscape with fast flowing rivers and heather clad mountains. Others stayed around Kinloch, peering thorough the castle windows at the opulence and faded elegance of this Edwardian house. Leaving the anchorage bound for Muck, it was with a wistful heart to see the mountains of Skye and Rum, today, looming bright in the glittering sunshine for the last time this year. I am already longing to be back where the fulmars and shearwaters play.
You will see that we are running a few October voyages, so may see some of you again. On our return I will be heading for the shipyard in Polruan to replace pipework, batteries and get a new mainsail made up along with countless other smaller jobs. On completion I will head for Charlestown or Padstow Christmas markets, so if you are around do come in for a coffee, it would be lovely to reminisce voyages with you.

Lewis joined the Freedom Works community in July 2018, he uses the coworking areas in both Hove and Worthing. Here's what he had to say!
In a couple of sentences, please describe your business?
I work as a freelance writer, director and development producer in TV and commercials. I specialise in comedy and drama, but have worked across several
genres / formats.
Who are your customers?
I primarily work for production companies – either responding to briefs, helping them create original ideas, or selling them a script or series of my own.
How long have you been running your business?
Terrifyingly, I've been in TV for almost 25 years, but I've been specifically freelancing as I do now since 2010.
What is your unique selling point?
I do a lot of work in the space between traditional broadcasting and short-form digital platforms: either helping young producers / companies achieve commissions or trying to guide the broadcaster towards new audiences.
Why have you chosen to work in a co-working community?
I don't enjoy working at home. It's not a discipline thing; it's an attempt to stave off cabin fever. Plus it ensures I get washed and dressed of a morning rather
than just starting work in my pants.
What is the most important benefit to you of working from Freedom Works?
Did this surprise you?
Not at all. I've been working in shared / co-working spaces off and on since 2004. I've worn trousers nearly the whole time.
What is your proudest achievement to date?
I wrote and directed a web series way back when nobody was really making them and it got a very good review in The Guardian and was nominated for an Emmy Award. I've worked on much bigger and far more popular shows, but this remains a personal highlight.
Who is your business hero?
If I could have anyone's CV it would be the legendary film director, Billy Wilder. Of my peers, I love what Stefan Golaszewski has done, writing shows like Him &
Her and Mum.
How do you spend your spare time?
Up until recently I would wander around Soho with an outdated Guardian stuck in my back pocket, drinking coffee, going to the movies in the daytime, then meeting friends for food, wine and gin. Then we had a baby and now I drive a Nissan Qashquai to Saltdean in the hope of finding somewhere to have lunch that has a high chair.
Where is your favourite place in Hove/Worthing/Chichester?
The sea. It's all about the sea. But I also love The Dome Cinema in Worthing. And The Old Albion on Church Road is a great place for a Sunday roast.
Thank you Lewis!

The 3rd update is here and it's all about Magic!
I've spent too much time trying to find a convenient way to integrate the magic combat system with the melee one, my goal was to give the player the ability to use both of magic spells and melee weapons and seamlessly switch between them.
The main problem is that the character wont be able to move during the process of entering the magic state because it will be playing the ritual animation and this will leave player exposed to all sorts of enemy attacks so to tackle that issue I've tried several ideas:
1) Reduce the entering process time by speeding up the ritual animation, didn't help that much as the player still exposed to enemies.
2) protect the player with some kind of magic shield during the entering process. now the player is no longer exposed to enemies but entering process is still slowing down the combat pace.
3) Do some extra animation work and blend the ritual animation with navigation ones to allow the player to move freely during the entering process. by combining all of these ideas I got pretty satisfying result.
So in this Update I show the magic system in action and some other minor improvements
Symbol based magic system:
- A magic spell may be represented by one or more symbols written on magic scrolls (more details in future updates).player has to remember the correct symbol that represents the spell he wishes to cast and draw it quickly to activate that magic spell.
- Magic spell caching enables quick spell switching so player can strategically plan thier spells combos and attacks.
- Smooth transition between Magic and Melee combat states keeps the flow of the over all combat engagement.
- 2 magic spells Fire and Ice with one symbol for each
more info about the magic system will be revealed in future updates
Some minor improvements:
- New "belt" system enables back sheathing secondary weapons and shields
- Sparks on weapons colliding
- Dust on blocking weapon with shield
- New sword shader
- New slaughter animation
That was all for this update, hope you like it and stay tuned for more.

Fall is quickly approaching. This means it is time to pack away my summer decorations and create something fall-ish for my front "porch". I say "porch" because I live in an apartment… we don't have such luxuries as porches. ;)
On Monday I did some searching through my pinterest boards, and found a pin that I LOVED!!
Thanks to Myra at my blessed life I was able to create some festive fabric pumpkins. Click Here for the tutorial. Myra deserves all the credit! Her tutorial is easy to follow and the pumpkins are simple to make! Her fabric pumpkins are…. gorgeous! :)
Here are my pumpkins!
My all time favorite. Somehow I got a nice shot of it! (I am no photographer)
As always. Keep life simple. Even crafting.
For the simple things in life will be the greatest blessings which bring the most joy!

Hex Hall so much and was disappointed when there weren't more, but then came Rebel Belle and I didn't love, love, love it like Hex Hall. And now I feel like I need to go back and try again with it!
Journey's End is a middle grade, tween deal whereas the others were YA. I really liked this a lot, even though it was set far away, in Scotland. I do think that this might be a series! There is a lot of magic in here, but also a lot of realism, so it's that Magical Realism thing! Friendship and loss of friends and fitting in and all of that. But a lot of magic, too.
What's Going On Here?
There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Prospect website
We worked on Prospect's new mobile and tablet friendly website, and also with some major changes to the information architecture.
The new design is responsive, a design approach that allows the template to change depending on the screen size being used to view the website. This means that users viewing on tablets or browsers see a slightly different layout than those on desktops, avoiding the need to zoom in and out to read the content. We've also increased the width of the site, so that the growing audience of widescreen users can utilise more of the space.
The biggest challenge was the amount of content and making the navigation more effective. A study we undertook last year found that the Prospect site has about 55,000 public pages, making it the third largest of all TUC-affiliated union sites. We carried out an in-depth crawl analysis of the site to identify structural issues, such as problems that make search engines see unnecessary duplicate content.
We also conducted a lot of research to find a better navigational structure. This involved a large online members' survey, conducting focus groups and also telephone interviews to ensure that a wide range of stakeholders from across the organisation fed into the process. We also looked in depth at site usage, using several different analytics platforms, to identify behaviours that would help inform the redesign.
Based on this research, the balance between the scope, labels and positioning of the navigation options were changed significantly to make content much easier to find. We also introduced 'mega- menus' to the site, making it quicker to navigate through the large amount of content.
When hovering over a link with a 'mega-menu', a large drop appears that can display a great number of options, reducing the amount of clicks required. These types of menus also score highly for accessibility over traditional drop down menus, as research has shown they are much easier to use.

When we were undergoing fertility treatments to conceive Baby Fix-It, I thought I appreciated how easy we had it. Our fertility clinic was literally a 5 minute walk from our home. I'd get up for work a little early, go in for a monitoring appointment, and head off to the office. If I wanted to schedule an acupuncture appointment, I was able to swing by on my way home. It was a small, brief, addition to my daily routine.
In the fall we learned that we had to switch clinics. Our insurance had changed. We were now working with a bigger, fancier clinic downtown. With a big parking garage. And long waits. What used to be a quick pit stop is now an hour, often longer, event. And now we have a kid thrown into the mix. If I need to be downtown at 7am, Mr. Fix-It and I are juggling schedules. Sometimes this means we scoop Baby Fix-It out of his crib and PJs, we all head down to the clinic, and then we drop off Mr. Fix-It to his office. Other days I try to head out early, Mr. Fix-It works from home, and I do my best to get back before childcare has cut too far into my husband's day. He very often starts his mornings with an 8am conference call. Other days he is literally standing at the door waiting to run off to the train as I pull back in the garage.
And then I'm trying to keep up with acupuncture. Yesterday was so hectic that I literally dropped Baby Fix-It off at the street corner of North and Clybourn while Mr. Fix-It jumped off the train, grabbed our kid, and took him home. Makin' it work? Yes we are.
I'm not complaining. Trust me, I'm not. It's just so different this time around. It's so much more. So much more work, so much more coordinating, so much more everything. And hopefully, equally worthwhile.

WRPI hosted an event on August 27, to show the incoming freshmen how to run a radio show. They spent the morning recording music and learning about the technical side of running a radio show. Later in the day, they went on a tour of the studio. The freshmen taking part in this experience were excited about the fact that they had the opportunity to actually express their talents and record music.
WRPI Business Manager LC Hines '20 emphasized the importance of the radio show. Hines stated that the most important part of hosting a radio show is "that feeling that you're connecting with your listeners." Hines also provided examples of when he felt that connection. One of those was with an English teacher at Troy High School, who listens to the radio show during their classes. Hines also passionately described the importance of music, stating that "music is one of the most powerful creative mediums we have today."
During the tour, students learned about the history of WRPI. The radio show started as a club in the 20s, where participants would tinker with ham radios in the RPI Playhouse. The club later moved into the basement of the Darrin Communications Center in 70s, where the modern WRPI radio show was started.
Students also got to see the extensive collection of vinyl records and CDs. The collection is entirely made up of donations from WRPI members, alumni, and music distributors. New records and discs are being added all the time, and the club is working on ways to maintain the ever-growing collection.
The members of WRPI are excited for the incoming freshman class. Their talent for show hosting and music will bring new visions and ideas to the radio show. There is an opportunity for everyone, freshmen or not, to get involved and make an impact on the radio show.

These new services were developed to compliment C-Level's B2B appointment setting services and to serve sales teams and management in their business development and sales pipeline growth efforts, without hiring and training additional sales personnel. Both of these services were developed after talking to numerous clients and prospects about their needs. The Pre-Sales Launch program helps clients that haven't fully defined their market, target demographics, or messaging, and the Sales Meeting Effectiveness program helps identify and remedy possible issues with sales meetings that have already taken place. You can learn more about these solutions on our Services page at http://c-levelconnections.com/services.html.

Last night, I had a date. A date with an eggplant.
Eggplant and I have had a touch-and-go relationship. Well, actually, there's never been much touching. Maybe a one-night stand at my favorite Sri Lankan restaurant where they actually know how to prepare eggplant. Usually, though, my relationship with eggplant consists of me finding it in mediocre grilled vegetable sandwiches that are the only thing on the menu I can eat. The eggplant is always squishy.
So I tried last night to make amends with eggplant and cook something delicious. Here was my game plan: fried polenta, broiled eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted Anaheim pepper, balsamic onions. Pretty much everything I read recommended some combination of eggplant-tomato-pepper. Makes sense, as they're all in season around the same time.
By the way, did you know eggplant is a berry? And in the same family as tomatoes? Never woulda guessed.
Anyway, the players:
– Balsamic onions: Slice an onion (I used red) into rings and saute over medium-low heat in olive oil until translucent and wiggly. Move to a bowl and cover in balsamic vinegar. Allow to steep until you're ready to use them.
– Roasted pepper: I roasted my Anaheim pepper directly over the stove flame. I'm not sure I like setting things kind-of on fire in my kitchen. However, it worked well.
– Sun-dried tomatoes: Reconstituted in olive oil, which I then used to brush on the eggplant.
– Eggplant: Sliced into 1/2″ circles and salted for quite a while — an hour? more? Broiled for 5-ish minutes each side as in this recipe.
– Polenta: Pre-made polenta roll (will try to make my own soon), sliced into 1/2″ circles and pan-fried in olive oil.
The results?
Really good! The polenta had a little bit of a crust and lent a sweetness to the dish's foundation. The eggplant was not squishy and had remarkable flavor — I think I'll peel it next time, as the skins got a little tough. The tomatoes were just a little tangy and chewy, providing a nice complement to the roasted pepper. The balsamic onions, though, were what really tied the dish together, picking up on the tanginess of the tomatoes while making the polenta and eggplant more interesting.
I am so making this again. I really surprised myself!

freezer cooking session after our local grocery store had ground turkey on sale, I knew I wanted to freeze some burgers. Last summer, I had a delicious turkey cheddar burger at a friend's house, so I decided to make my own version. The result was a tender (dare I say moist?) and flavorful burger that even Kiddo gobbled down!
Freezer-Friendly Turkey-Cheddar Burgers
- 3 pounds ground turkey
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic
- 6 oz (1.5 cups) grated cheddar
- ground pepper, to taste
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Shape turkey burgers into 12 quarter-pound patties or 16 patties at just under 1/5 pound each. Use your thumb to make a small indentation (this keeps the burgers flat when they cook).
- Grill as you would any hamburger and serve on a bun with your favorite fixin's!
(Make sure your burger heats to at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Undercooked meat can cause illness.)
To Freeze:Place burgers on cookie sheets* and freeze flat for several hours. Remove to a gallon freezer bag for long-term storage.
silicone baking mat {affiliate link} to make it easy to remove the burgers once frozen.
To Thaw:Place frozen burgers on a plate or in a container, cover, and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cook as normal.
I love having a stash of healthy, homemade meals in the freezer! To see more of my favorite freezer meals and tips, check out my freezer cooking resources here.

Day 4
Morning came super early for the last day of the Royals Gone Wilde convention. I had decided to purchase just one of the other Homecoming dolls to go with my Ellowyne, so before the final event, I moseyed down to the sales room to make my choice. I had decided on either Prudence or Amber, but I needed to see them up close one final time before deciding.
In the end, I decided on Princess Amber, the red-head in the purple dress. I just love purple!
The final event was a breakfast buffet, with the theme of Charlie Meets the Queen of Hearts. This was actually featuring the Tonner My Wonderland line, a Re-Imagination of Alice in Wonderland. We were asked to wear a T-shirt of our favorite band, so in keeping with the royalty theme, I of course chose Queen.
The centerpiece was the band Stacked Deck, featuring Aiko, Sydney and Charlotte.
The table favor was an awesome electric guitar for the girls to jam on.
There was a final farewell message from the queen, and everyone who had entered the competition had their photos on the big screen.
As the cherry on top, I also won the final door prize of the convention, the amazing Velvet Sunset outfit for Evangeline, which I did not have!
Goodbyes were sadly said and the convention was over for another year. I went to the sales room one last time to pick up a doll for a friend and to get a box to ship my goodies home via UPS.
The rest of the afternoon was spent packing up and having a wander of the hotel. Amelia wanted one last photo…
I found the pool, and after lunch I decided to take a dunk. It was indoor and heated and I was the only one there, so I had a leisurely swim before heading back to the room for a "Law & Order" marathon before turning in for my last night at the beautiful Sheraton Framingham.
Day 5
Was up and at 'em early for a continental breakfast before check-out. My van was a little late in picking me up, so I was super nervous, worrying if I'd be able to get to the airport on time to fight security and find my gate. But traffic back to Boston was much less at 10 a.m. than it had been Thursday evening rush hour, so I made it with plenty of time to spare. Check-in and security were a breeze, the flight was on time and even landed a little early in Nashville. Dear old Dad was there to pick me up and drive me home.
I usually post a photo of all the "loot" I had gotten at the convention, but silly me unpacked everything and found homes for the dolls before I remembered to do so. I so another post later on the dolls out of their boxes, posing in the yard.
Until then, I'd like to thank the staff at Tonner/Wilde Imagination for another amazing weekend. I think it was the best since my very first one. I'd also like to thank my awesome table-mates for, well, just being awesome. I hope to see so many of you in Columbus in June!

As of this week, the first Centre-in China program at Tongji University has reached its mid-point. The past eight weeks have been nothing short of awakening. I've had a few adventures in the time that I've been here, but the biggest influence on my experience here has been the students who are studying abroad with me.
On the 14-hour flight to Shanghai, I was seated in a row without any fellow Centre students. Settling into the uncomfortable and cold seat, I prepared myself for what was sure to be an awkward flight with the unpleasant older couple seated next to me. That is until Matt and Tyler convinced the man sitting next to them flying alone to switch seats with me. Even though I thanked them profusely at the time, I can't really express how grateful I was to not be alone at the beginning of our overseas adventure.
By the end of our first month, we all had settled into our new city. Yet no one's Chinese was good enough to really communicate with any native speakers yet. To make matters worse, I had run out of minutes on my Chinese cell phone and I had to reload minutes—in Chinese. However, I was lucky because Rachel had already gone to the store to reload minutes on her phone and she was gracious enough to accompany me to load minutes on mine. Fifteen minutes after walking into the supermarket and after a lot of pointing and stuttering, we emerged triumphant and ready to make phone calls.
The beginning of October brought in a new wave of stress that we weren't really prepared for. However, some fun was managed to be had when Laurel invited our group to help her parents serve refreshments at a party they were throwing. When we arrived in our very sub-par pirate costumes while everyone else was dressed to impress (as pirates), I felt more out of place than I had in a while. Nevertheless, Laurel's family made us feel so welcome that we couldn't help but enjoy the party and let go of some of the stress that had been building up for all of us.
This highlight reel wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention how Logan and Ashlyn are always willing to help us out even though they had homework of their own. And Corey always lets people hang out in his room when they need some company; he's also good for a laugh. Matt is a constant source of encouragement in class, regardless of whether or not you actually did well that day. Morgan has saved me from being hit by a car more times than I can count. Claire's quote book will forever hold some of the most infamous sayings of our adventures and her love of horses has rubbed off on all of us. Emily always makes sure we don't underpay at restaurants, which surprisingly happens a lot. Finally, Hunt gives us our daily dose of southern charm if we're ever feeling too homesick.
Before we arrived in China, I thought I had a decent impression of my classmates—their general likes and dislikes, habit, hobbies, and so on—but I didn't realize how close we would all become. Here's to eight more weeks and many more adventures!

The first clip from DreamWorks Pictures' Fright Night featuring Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin is now online and can be watched using the player below.
In the horror remake, opening August 19, senior Charlie Brewster (Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he's running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite rightbut everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

We think that Social Media has only been around since the entry of Facebook and the way the words "Social Media" has been coined also has some impact on this. Facebook began February 4, 2004 at Harvard, there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to its founding here and Twitter followed in 2006. However Internet Forums were around before that!
social media
noun ( usually used with a plural verb ) Digital Technology.
websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts. Many businesses are utilizing social media to generate sales.
Origin: 2000-2005
I had a look recently as to when I started on forums and I was on Martial Arts Planet from 9th February 2002 and had been on other ones before that (but senility has set in and I can't remember what they are now). These were our "information platforms", for sharing information, promotion and selling long before the accepted media now. I did martial arts for a number of years and even ended up Moderating on that forum, I guess I have always had a keen interest in media and using the modern, free approach to it.
I do remember Yahoo Groups. My goodness, they were awful! The tree-like posting and the endless losing the point of the whole thread annoyed me endlessly, but at the time it was the only way to generate opinion and communicate with a crowd. It's hard to believe they are still around but amazingly they are. I won't go down that road again but here is a link if you are interested in seeing what they are all about. I would imagine they have improved since 1998!
Did you know You could be a Social Media Expert?
So how long have you been a Social Media expert? You have probably been online for a lot longer than you realise? I know I was shocked to realise I have over twenty years of experience in it now!
Sometimes realising you have the experience is enough to make you realise you can actually achieve anything with a little patience and practice. That's the only way you ended up here today isn't it?
I hope this has got you thinking and please share if you enjoyed the article!
