No induction scheduled at this time-whew! Blood pressure still borderline, when I arrived it was 142/90 which I was REALLY nervous and then the nurse took it right before I left and it was
142/82. I was super nervous about this appointment because I had NO IDEA what to expect, I was hot and I could hear the nurse coming to see me chatting with a pharmacy rep outside my room and I was getting totally irritated. If I'd had pants on, I would have totally opened the door and been like, "HEELLLLOOOO!!! Pregnant, uncomfortable woman in here, come check me and let's go!" But I didn't...
When she finally came in, the good news was that there wasn't any protein in my urine (despite the PB and graham crackers I'd had for breakfast) and Baby A's heart rate was in the 140s.
I, on the other hand, had that borderline BP and super swollen hands, feet and legs plus I'd gained 5 pounds since last Friday and still no dialation (seriously, I hate checking for that). So unless I go into labor on my own or my BP spikes REALLY high (160/100) then I go back next Thursday for my doctor's appointment and she will probably schedule me to be induced at 39 weeks so the following Tuesday or Wednesday (May 8 or 9).
Random Thoughts:
*I feel better/yikes after this appointment. When I left my appointment last
week, I had no clue how today's appointment would go. After leaving today, at
least I feel like we have a game plan and being OCD, I like knowing a date. I
feel yikes because my BP was higher than it had been all week so that worries me
so I'll just have to keep close tabs on that. I loved hearing her say that Baby
A's heart beat was good.
*As much as I DON'T want to be induced, at this point, I just want Baby A to
be okay. After this weekend, I will start trying all the old wive tales to go
into labor on my own so please leave any tips. The nurse said that eating spicy
foods would probably just give me a belly ache (plus I don't even like spicy
foods) and she'd recommend walking but not for me since that'll just make me
*I haven't mentioned it but one of those pregnancy symptoms no one tells you
about is the excess saliva. Seriously, I choke on my own spit ALL the time, I
drool at night and I even caught myself drooling when I had the fridge door open
the other day! Weird...
So please keep Baby A and I in your prayers, we'd really appreciate it! Have a good weekend!

YAY! So glad you didn't have to go in for an induction....it really was the protein in my urine that sent them over the edge I think. My BP was right around where yours is and with that and the protein they sent me right in....so glad things are holding out for you...have a good weekend and hope you get to stand up in that wedding and celebrate your sister's birthday!
Thinking of you!

So glad you didn't have to get induced so far!!!
I went to the chiropractor the day I ended up going into labor - that really seemed to help get things moving. If that hadn't worked, I was headed to my acupuncturist next. :) And sex. We were NOT in the mood, but whatever works, right? :)

Glad you haven't been induced and I hope your BP stays under the limit. My BFF told me all about the excess saliva. She also had extremely dry eyes which apparently is more common than you would think.

Prayers for you & Baby G. You're in the home stretch mama & however baby comes (induced or on your own) (s)he will be here soon :) Glad things are still working out & a game plan is in place. I had no idea about the excessive saliva...I don't remember it but I'm sure it happened. I had the pregnancy gingivitis (yeah - fun).

DeLéon 51 is inspiring a cult following among spirits lovers, and at 102 proof, it's the only Tequila in the world that's cask-strength (51% abv). Classified as extra añejo, a designation for Tequilas aged a minimum of three years in oak barrels, DeLéon 51 is unique in that it spends 51 months in Haute Futaie French oak from famed cooper Seguin Moreau. Unlike other Tequila producers who use authorized additives like oak extract, caramel and sucrose, this expression focuses on purity, with its subtle notes of grass, pepper and citrus. Located in the town of Purísima del Rincon (which translates as "the purest of the corner"), Brent Hocking, founder and CEO of DeLéon, says the distillery sources its water from an "unprecedented three spring wells that register the purest water in the entire country of Mexico." Packaging reflects the brand's exclusive aesthetic: A rich leather box opens to reveal a sleek glass bottle with an ornate gold and copper closure created by Malibu-based jeweler Bill Wall, whose designs have been worn by Hollywood stars like Jay-Z and Nicollette Sheridan. Available to consumers in 11 states, the bottling fetches $250 per 750 ml.

When I was eating lunch with my mom today, she told me that my dad used to bang her through out her pregnancy, and I would kick viciously in the womb every time he came inside her. She also said that I came out 3 weeks before my due date because she got screwed so hard that her water broke.
I learned that this is a family tradition. My father, my grandfather, and my great grand father all had to suffer the same fate as embryos. Afterwards I went home and told the story to my little brother while we took a bath together.

In their book Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It, Allan and Barbara Pease explain the way most men and women are going at problem solving as fundamentally opposite:
- Women start with a core solution and then add to it until it reaches an appropriate satisfaction level.
- Men start with a broader view and chop out things until they get to the core solution.
A good analogy would be that women approach problem solving like artist deal with clay, while men a have more of a sculptor approach.
Interestingly enough, in this September 2010 post, Seth Godin writes:
Step one: Open all doors. Learn a little about a lot. Consider as many options as possible, then add more.
Step two: Relentlessly dismiss, prune and eliminate. Choose. Ship.
The problem most people run into is that they mix the steps and confuse them. During step one, they aren't open enough, aren't willing enough to consider the impossible. And then, in step two, fear of shipping kicks in and they stay open too long, hold on to too many options and hesitate.
Simple doesn't always mean easy.
Combining the Pease's theory with Seth's this looks like to develop and ship a successful product, a woman should be in charge of product planning, a man in charge of product management (if we're talking marketing) ; or a woman in charge of feature planning and a man in charge of project delivery management (if we're talking product development).

IR Policy
Basic Policy
The Benesse Group Principles state that "We seek to grow and develop in a way that earns our shareholders' long term trust." Accordingly, the Company will strive to earn the trust of its shareholders and investors, and an appropriate evaluation, by conducting investor relations (IR) activities based on the following policy.
IR Organization and Structure
The Company's IR activities are overseen by Director of Corporate Management Division, while the planning, management, and promotion of IR activities is undertaken by the Investor Relations Department.
The Company's internal divisions, such as the Corporate Strategy, Finance, Accounting, and Corporate Communications divisions, work together flexibly to disclose corporate and financial information accurately and promptly to shareholders and investors and engage in dialogue with them.
Information Disclosure Standard
The Company discloses corporate information at appropriate times based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's rules on timely disclosure of corporate information of the listed security issuers ("Timely Disclosure Rules.")
The Company also actively discloses information that is not subject to the standards of the Timely Disclosure Rules if it is deemed likely to practically influence the investment decisions of investors and shareholders or to be useful for increasing their understanding of the Company.
Information Disclosure Methods
Information that corresponds to the items for disclosure based on the Timely Disclosure Rules will be disclosed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Timely Disclosure Network ("TDnet") system as well as being promptly posted on the Company's website.
Enhancing Communication
In addition to timely disclosures, the Company will issue IR tools (Supplementary Materials, Data Book, Letter to Shareholders, and so forth) and enhance its website as a means of communicating fairly and clearly with shareholders and investors about its business strategies, business activities, finances, and other important management information.
The Company will hold presentations and respond to daily inquiries, among other means, to enhance direct communication with its shareholders and investors.
The opinions and feedback that the Company receives from shareholders and investors will be promptly communicated to the representative director and CEO, the responsible executive officers, and others, to help improve management.
Silent Period
To prevent leaks of information on financial results, in principle the Company will observe silent periods for three weeks before the scheduled announcement date of quarterly financial results and four weeks before the scheduled announcement of its end-of-year financial results. During these times, the Company will refrain from commenting or answering questions about its financial results.
Disclosures are not intended to be solicitations to buy or sell securities. Disclosures include risks and uncertainties such as plans, forecasts, and strategies. Future performance forecasts are based on judgments derived from currently available information. Making investment decisions based on the information within is not recommended, and any decisions made are entirely on the judgment of the information user.

Possible severe storms develop Thursday evening
There's no surer sign that spring is here than storms starting to pop up (and let's be honest, aren't we SO glad it's not winter weather we're talking about for once?)
Our first episode looks to come into play for this evening as a cold front approaches out of the west. Now here's the thing...most of the action for this afternoon looks to stay to our north, with TORNADO WATCHES in effect until 8 p.m. from McDonald County, Missouri and northward. At this point, it's a waiting game as some of these storms try to fire up out to our west in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Should these storms get going as many of the models are indicating, we could see a line of showers and thunderstorms move through Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley between 7 to midnight (starting in NWA and moving south to southeast).
We have the right ingredients in place for gusty winds, large hail, and perhaps a slight chance for a tornado in spots, but it's all dependent on these showers and storms kicking off to the west.
Into Friday, we'll see another round of showers and possible storms into the afternoon, but the best chances for severe weather by that point will have shifted into central Arkansas.
For the latest forecast, be sure to check out our Livewire and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Life saving skills
Life saving skills
At Starfish Fitness we promote the Love 2 Swim program which is a nationally accredited program aimed at reducing the national drowning statistic.
Love 2 Swim is the re-branding of the highly successful Swim and Survive Program that the Royal Life Saving Society has successfully delivered as a Nationally Accredited Swimming and Water Safety Program. This program has been educating 5-14 year olds for over 20 years. Since 1982 it is estimated that over 10 million Australians have participated in the Swim and Survive program. It aims to reduce the number of drowning deaths by ensuring that children have a sound knowledge of safety when in, on and around the water, including skills in swimming, personal survival and basic rescue. Since programs like Swim and Survive were introduced, there has been a 75% reduction in drowning in the 5-14 years age group.
Children all over Australia attend Swim and Survive lessons through schools, commercial swim schools, and government departments. The program aligns itself with the National Water Safety Framework and School Curriculum ensuring that competencies are matched with a child's development. Swim and Survive allows for flexible delivery and can be structured as a weekly term program or as intensive holiday programs.
Nationally, Swim and Survive is continually developing and improving to ensure that the program is kept up to date according to aquatic recommendations. Therefore after a review in 2009 changes were introduced which include improved skill competencies, the linking of the award structure to promote learning throughout children's key life stages and increase quality resources to support the program. The new Swim and Survive encompasses three key programs:
1. Swim and Survive 'Wonder' – 6 months to 3 years
2. Swim and Survive 'Courage' – 3 years to 5 years
3. Swim and Survive 'Active' – 5 years to 14 years (Love 2 Swim)
These key programs are linked to ensure a continuity of skills through a child's key life stages.
More information on this fantastic program can be found at www.love2swim.net

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday approved the blockbuster merger between AT&T and Time Warner, rebuffing the government's effort to stop the $85.4 billion deal, in a decision that is expected to unleash a wave of corporate takeovers.
The judge, Richard J. Leon of United States District Court in Washington, said the Justice Department had not proved that the telecom company's acquisition of Time Warner would lead to fewer choices for consumers and higher prices for television and internet services.
The merger would create a media and telecommunications powerhouse, reshaping the landscape of those industries. The combined company would have a library that includes HBO's hit "Game of Thrones" and channels like CNN, along with vast distribution reach through wireless and satellite television services across the country.
Media executives increasingly say content creation and distribution must be married to survive against technology companies like Amazon and Netflix. Those companies started producing their own shows in just the last several years. But they now spend billions of dollars a year on original programming, and users can stream the video on apps in homes and on mobile devices, putting pressure on traditional media businesses.
Executives and investors of other companies had watched the six-week trial closely for signs about how it might affect their ambitions. Comcast, for example, would like to beat out the Walt Disney Company for some of 21st Century Fox's assets, but has held off from making a formal bid until the trial ended.
"If there ever were an antitrust case where the parties had a dramatically different assessment of the current state of the relevant market and a fundamentally different vision of its future development, this is the one," Judge Leon wrote in his opinion.
The ruling is a major setback for the Justice Department and its antitrust chief, Makan Delrahim, whose decision to sue to block the merger broke with convention. Deals such as this one, in which the two companies are in related industries but do not produce competing products, are usually approved by federal regulators.
[Read more on the expected battle for Rupert Murdoch's television empire.]
Mr. Delrahim had insisted that the two companies sell some major parts before getting government approval, a demand that the executives rejected. That led the Justice Department to file its lawsuit in November. Judge Leon's decision essentially confirmed the conventional thinking about antitrust law.
Mr. Delrahim appeared somber after the decision. He said he was disappointed and would review the 172-page opinion before deciding whether the government would ask a higher court to issue a stay of the ruling. The Justice Department could appeal the decision even if it did not get an injunction.
"I've taken an oath to uphold competition," Mr. Delrahim said. "We are going to take the next steps as necessary."
[James B. Stewart writes that the last time there was an antitrust ruling as important as the one handed down Tuesday, cellphones didn't exist.]
Judge Leon took the unusual step of warning the government not to try to seek a stay, saying it would hurt the defendants, which had already gone through an 18-month regulatory and legal battle for their review. The companies face a June 21 deadline to close their deal.
"We're disappointed that it took 18 months to get here," Daniel Petrocelli, the lead litigator for AT&T and Time Warner, said outside the courthouse after the opinion. "But we are relieved it is finally behind us and we look forward to closing the transaction in the upcoming days."
Shares in AT&T fell 5.5 percent in morning trading on Wednesday, while shares in Time Warner rose 2.7 percent.
The deal was hatched in August 2016 when Randall Stephenson, the chief executive of AT&T, called Jeff Bewkes, his counterpart at Time Warner. Mr. Bewkes's company, with its popular HBO shows, live N.B.A. and N.C.A.A. sports broadcasting rights, and CNN, has been a takeover target for years.
The two then had a long lunch in the Time Warner dining room in New York and agreed that their industries were under siege. The purchase of Time Warner would give AT&T the premium television content it needed to make its bundle of wireless, television and broadband services more attractive to customers.
The deal would put AT&T in charge of Time Warner's vast portfolio, which includes HBO and CNN, rights to major sports leagues, and valuable film franchises such as Harry Potter. John Stankey, an AT&T executive, would oversee the integration of these units into AT&T and eventually lead the Time Warner business.
"We want people engaged with their mobile devices all day watching movies and video," Mr. Stephenson testified at the trial.
Presidential politics clouded the merger from almost the moment it was announced. President Trump, while still a candidate, said he would block the deal "because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few."
Those comments and his repeated criticism of CNN, which is owned by Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting unit, raised speculation that Mr. Trump had pushed Mr. Delrahim and the Justice Department to block the deal.
But Mr. Delrahim swore to the court that he was not influenced by the White House, and Judge Leon stopped the companies from introducing evidence about possible political interference.
"We always believed that the motivations for bringing this case were questionable at best," Gary Ginsberg, an executive vice president for Time Warner, said on Tuesday. "The court's verdict resoundingly supported that view."
Mr. Delrahim had argued that the only way antitrust concerns could be resolved was through the sale of major businesses. Last fall, he presented AT&T and Time Warner with two options: Sell the majority stake in either DirecTV, which is AT&T's satellite television company, or Turner Broadcasting. The companies rejected both options.
Mr. Delrahim's position, which the White House said it supported, also had the backing of some left-leaning politicians and antitrust experts. They have been increasingly calling for the government to break up Silicon Valley giants like Google, Facebook and Amazon and to prevent greater consolidation in health care, media, transportation and agriculture.
Judge Leon, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, tried to limit the reach of his opinion, writing that "the temptation by some to view this decision as being something more than a resolution of this specific case should be resisted by one and all!"
But many antitrust experts and analysts believe the decision will embolden companies to pursue deals.
The decision "will give AT&T market power to raise the price of Time Warner content, and, secondly, it will lead to further vertical mergers in this industry that will harm consumers," said Steven Salop, an economics and law professor at Georgetown University who has pushed for stronger government regulation.
The trial drew large crowds that included executives, hedge fund managers and financial analysts. Mr. Delrahim attended occasionally, and so did Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Bewkes. The two executives each took the witness stand to defend the merger.
Judge Leon asked few questions during the trial and gave little indication of where he was leaning before his opinion on Tuesday. But many experts felt that the government had struggled to make its case.
After Judge Leon delivered his decision to a packed courtroom, representatives from AT&T and Time Warner lined the small hallway just outside. The men and women embraced and clapped one another on the back, beaming as they whispered congratulations.
"It's a receiving line," one woman joked, her hands outstretched for the next hug.

Are you a business owner and looking for PHP web development services or ASP.Net development services, but unable to decide the right technology for your project? Are you looking for the pros and cons of ASP.Net vs PHP to streamline your decision? Being a leadingsoftware development company in India, we have made this task easy for you by comparing ASP.Net and PHP in a very easy way.
There are a plethora of articles and blogs over the Internet with various information about PHP V/s ASP.NET. Unfortunately, most of these blog posts are biased and typically based on promoting one over the other.
In this blog post, I'll do an unbiased comparison between the two most popular programming languages PHP and ASP.NET: most popular programming languages in the world today.
On one side, we have PHP, the world most used and popular language on the Internet with millions of dedicated PHP developers all across the globe. On the other side, we have ASP.NET, a Microsoft platform. Now to the layman, it is not easy to know what's right and what's wrong with these languages.
Here is an elaborative comparison guide that helps you figure out the best technology for your next web app development in India project. I'm sure after reading this article, you'll have a clear idea about which technology suits you better.
After reading this article, you can share your thoughts in the comment box.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: A Small Brief
I have no doubt on the fact that both of these programming languages have become successful ventures, and have developed great websites.
But, the question still remains fresh for non-technical people, which platform should you choose when you start with web-apps exercise.
On one side PHP is a free open source platform while ASP.Net is a paid Microsoft platform. PHP is a mix between a programming language and a web framework whereas ASP.NET is a straight application framework.
Now, Let's compare PHP & DotNet on different parameters.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Market Share
Let's find out usage or market share of these programming languages as of March 2017:
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Speed & Performance
To begin with, one common misconception about website performance and speed is that the language you choose to code in determines your website's overall performance.
In reality, however, there is very little difference between the performance of PHP websites and ASP.NET websites.
For example, take one of the most common tasks of any web application which is to query a database and output the results on the web server— and ultimately to the end user's browser.
In the aforementioned scenario, the coding language is simply communicating with the database and web servers to produce the desired outcome.
Both PHP and ASP.NET web development are equally equipped to access file systems, find images, and display pages on a web server and the speed of these performances rely much more on the database server, end user's computer, and bandwidth, etc.
That being said there are common myths in the industry about ASP.NET web development being a more elegant language than PHP.
While strictly speaking ASP.NET doesn't allow for as many irregularities in its code while still being able to run (which technically does make PHP web development services is an easier language for beginners to pick up) the actual business applications of being able to write "prettier code" are negligible.
While many expert PHP coders out there will guffaw at the prospect of building a site in PHP the fact that humongous sites such as MailChimp and Facebook are written in PHP should be enough evidence to dispel any notion that PHP sites run more poorly than ASP.NET sites.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Scalability
Both ASP.NET and PHP web applications are extremely scalable languages. What matters more to scalability than the language you choose is the development talent you hire. In this regard, you should take into consideration the state of your business.
If you are a DIY Entrepreneur and want to take a crack at developing with Drupal then PHP is clearly the preferred option over ASP.NET as it is the language that comes with the lowest learning curve.
If you are looking to hire a lead developer or team of developers to build your website then you should defer to the best available talent. Whether that talent works in PHP or ASP.NET should only matter if your company culture veers towards using one language or the other already.
While detractors of PHP will point to the fact that it, as a language, is more clunky than ASP.NET, this will only show itself as a weakness to your website's overall framework if you hire PHP programmers.
Likewise, the fact that ASP.NET is more of a demanding language than PHP web development doesn't mean that you're automatically more likely to find better talent within the ASP.NET development pool.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Support
PHP is open source and its pool of developers is far larger than ASP.NET (which is windows based). That being said both boast vibrant communities that post regularly to online forums, so if you are looking for answers to problems, you're likely to find both communities helpful.
That being said, while the ASP.NET community is comprised of dedicated developers there are quite a few fewer support contributors who are willing and able to post to forums and answer questions about ASP.NET challenges.
In contrast to this, PHP is such a widely used language that there are plenty of friendly developers active on different forums who are more than willing to offer free advice and guidance to those who ask for it.
The biggest takeaway here is that while you'll most likely be able to find answers to your questions in both communities, you'll almost assuredly get those answers back more quickly when working within PHP forums.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Cost
This is the only area where PHP owns a distinct advantage over ASP.NET. PHP is an open source, and thus, completely free, while ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft and comes with a web hosting fee.
However, the costs of those fees shouldn't be exorbitant enough to deter you fromOutsource ASP.NET development company pool if you're already leaning that way for your project development.
Also worth noting here is that PHP can be used on Mac, Windows, or Linux machines while ASP.NET development services are only meant to be run on Windows machines. That being said if you use a Mac or Linux you can use the Mono project to use ASP.NET.
PHP V/s ASP.NET: Suitable Websites
PHP Development: Pros and Cons
PHP Development- Pros
– It is an open source that means it's free to use and is constantly being improved by a large number of people rather than a single company
– PHP has large support community of programmer

PHP- Cons
– One of the main disadvantages of PHP is that it is generally not suitable for making desktop applications.
– Compared to other languages, PHP applications tend to run slower.
– It allows customization that causes bugs and poor coding than ASP.NET.
– PHP error handling is traditionally considered poor when compared to other programming languages which mean it can take more time to discover why a particular piece of code isn't working at expected.
ASP.NET: Pros and Cons
ASP.NET– Pros
– ASP.NET is highly scalable; its scalability index even posing a stiff competition to its rival PHP.
– Microsoft owns it.
– Support all programming languages and works well with either app or C#

Anne Arundel County school officials offer diversity training
Racially-biased test prompts officials to broaden diversity outreach
Anne Arundel County school officials said they're open to doing more diversity training for teachers and administrators.
The remarks came one week after concerns were raised about a racially-biased test given to students at Arundel High School.
The test, filled with stereotypes directed toward African Americans, was called a mistake by school officials. This weekend the district is holding its first diversity workshop for parents, which was already planned and now, may now be expanded.
The controversial intelligence test turned up at school almost two months ago and was given to 400 students without the knowledge of the school's principal. The administration has launched an investigation, but said it's committed to doing more.
"It's not geared toward one specific race or culture," said Teresa Tudor, with Anne Arundel County Public Schools.
It turns out that top school officials had already planned a parent diversity workshop long before the intelligence test came to light. Now, they admit there's a need to expand training system wide, especially among teachers.
"We realize that it is important and that training really consist of all types of different cultures and 'What experience did you have growing up?' and 'What beliefs did you have that may affect how you treat others?'" Tudor said.
The head of the Anne Arundel County NAACP and a member of a county School Advisory Committee Jacqueline Allsup said additional training should not be an option.
"Something is missing. It's evident that something is missing," Allsup said. "I think it's important that we all know about diversity, but in light of what occurred last week with the test that was given at Arundel High School, I think the diversity is more important to be refreshed at the school system as well as with parents."
In the meantime, the group said it'll press ahead with plans to meet with top local and state education officials regarding the Arundel High School complaint.
A county school spokesman said a meeting with the interim superintendent is already planned for next month.

Elementary Lesson Plan for the Grouchy Lady Bug by Eric Carle
Lesson Overview and Objectives
Children learn naturally when playing. Creative play gives them the possibility and security to explore various learning activities. This elementary lesson plan for an Eric Carle book supplies literacy learning in a play environment teaching about ladybugs. It opens up the world of print to growing minds, and teaches the significance of literacy. Exposing children to the written word accustoms them with the way language is written.
This lesson builds on and reinforces prior knowledge in these skill areas:
- Sound-word-picture recognition and connection
- Pre-reading
- Prediction
- Following oral directions
Teacher Lesson Plan Methodology
Hold the book up so the children can see the cover. Point to the book title and pronounce it, then point and say the name of the author. Teachers ask the class to predict what will happen in the story based on the cover illustrations.
Read the story to the class, interjecting conversational guided questions where appropriate. To increase comprehension, ask the children to touch their ear whenever they hear the name of an animal. Point to the picture of the animal, and repeat the name as the children touch their ears again. This creates a visual link to the sound of the word and its printed form. Here is a suggested list of discussion questions to use with the story:
- What happened when the two ladybugs landed on the same leaf?
- Why did the grouchy ladybug fly away?
- Why does the ladybug want to fight?
- What does the ladybug say to the animals?
- What did the ladybug do when the whale would not answer her?
- Where did she fly next?
- What happened when the ladybug reached the whale's fin?
- What did the whale do with his tail?
- Where do we find the ladybug at the end of the story?
Sound and Sight Word Recognition
There are many animals pictured in this story like a sparrow, hyena, gorilla, and others. Whenever you come to an illustration of one of the animals, stop and say something like this: "I hear a gorilla. It sounds like this (make the appropriate sound)."
Point to the picture, and ask the children to imitate the sound. Encourage the children to touch their ears again to reinforce the sound-word link. This engages the visual and auditory senses, and helps the children associate words, pictures, and sounds. If an animal does not make a sound, ask the class a question like, "What sound do you think a praying mantis might make?"
Time and Size Connection
For the next part of the lesson, turn back to the pages showing the clock pictures, and follow the time sequence of events with the children. Help students make the link between the passing time and the ladybug's lack of success in getting food. Compare and contrast each animal's size with the ladybug's. Why does the ladybug tell each animal that they are not big enough?
Finish this elementary lesson plan for The Grouchy Ladybug with gross motor skills practice. Call out the name of one of the animals from the story, like the gorilla, and invite children to move like a gorilla. Model big arm movements and chest pounding. Continue calling out animal names and modeling movement until the children get tired. This is a good large muscles exercise, and the various motions and gestures help the children to expend pent-up energy.
By the end of this lesson plan, the children have followed oral directions, practiced pre-reading skills, and learned about politeness and manners. Literacy has been reinforced by using visual and auditory cues to make a bridge between pictures and words.
Lesson Extension and Reading List
The animal illustrations in the book can be used to extend the lesson and develop vocabulary recognition skills. Show the pictures one at a time while pointing to the animal. Make sure the illustrations are seen by all. Ask the children questions like:
- "What kind of animal is this?"
- "What sound does this animal make?"
- "What letter of the alphabet does the animal's name start with?"
- "What sound does the letter make?"
Emergent readers learn best when lessons are repeated and reinforced in various ways. Here is a recommended reading list of other stories featuring lady bugs:
Are You a Ladybug?, Judy Allen [Kingfisher, April 15, 2000]
The Life Cycle of a Ladybug, Ruth Thomson, [PowerKids Press, January 2009]
Bug Summer - Raining Ladybugs, Tracy Lovett, [Inclement Press, 2009]

Uruguay's World Cup preparations have been thrown into turmoil with the news that the Premier League's player of the season, Luis Suarez, has picked up a knee injury.
Suarez felt discomfort after twisting his knee in training, and tests later revealed meniscus damage.
The Liverpool forward underwent keyhole surgery on Thursday morning - at the hands of Luis Francescoli, doctor brother of legendary footballer Enzo - and, according to the Uruguay camp, he should be ready for the World Cup with an expected recovery time of three weeks.
However, that is in some doubt. Recovery from this type of injury normally takes between 4-6 weeks, and Suarez would be pushing those limits.
At the very least, the procedure will cut down on his ability to train leading up to Uruguay's opening match at the World Cup, against Costa Rica on June 14. Uruguay play England on June 19, four weeks away.
Suarez is the focal point of a Uruguay attack which also features Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, and his absence would be a major blow were he not to recover in time. On the flip side, it would greatly benefit Roy Hodgson's England, who know only too well how dangerous the striker can be having seen him star for Liverpool in this season's Premier League title challenge.
"According to the report I received a while ago, we are optimistic that he can go to the World Cup," secretary of Uruguay's national team Roberto Pastoriza said.
"It was all a surprise. Suarez trained with a niggle and decided to have an MRI.
"Until a while ago, the last information I had was that they were deciding what to do. The issue officially will be announced by the AUF."
If Suarez is unable to go, he will join an ever-growing list of stars who have been ruled out of, or are at risk of missing, the tournament through injury. That list includes Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao, Christian Benteke, Kevin Strootman, Jay Rodriguez and Theo Walcott.
Spain striker Fernando Torres had meniscus surgery ahead of the 2010 World Cup, playing his first match seven weeks after the operation.

Immortality. Something that the human race has dreamt of since we understood the concept of death. The ability to live beyond our extremely mortal bodies…From the famous myths of a fountain of youth to the endless potions of legend that would stop you from aging and keep you alive forever, nothing truly seems to be more than a dream. But could we have been thinking about this incorrectly for a while now?
Rather than dreaming and attempting to keep our physical bodies alive forever, maybe we need to look somewhere else. What's something that you use every day. What's something that has incredible power similar to that of our minds. What are you looking at right now? A thought provoking article surely, but what's displaying it? A computer; running a program. What else is our mind but a type of computer running a program?

Everything You Need to Know Before Building a Home in Syracuse
Building your very own home is an important decision – one that will involve your commitment in terms of time and money. It's therefore essential that you consider the following things before you start the construction of your dream home in Syracuse.
1. Location
The first decision you have to make is where exactly in Syracuse you want to live. You have to choose the community centers you need to have easy access to.
Here are some questions you can ask:
Will your new home be close to your workplace? If not, will the commute be an easy one? Remember that you'll be making regular trips to your office. It's practical to situate your new home near your workplace.
If you have children, will your new home be located near good schools, libraries, and parks? The ideal location should offer your children a variety of places they can visit and play in.
Will your chosen location be located near shopping malls and good hospitals? Again, these are basic needs that a family must have easy access to.
If you are inclined, will your new home be located near beautiful natural forests? It can be wonderful to be able to explore forests for your leisure on weekends.
2. Budget
Once you have narrowed down your options for possible home locations, you need to set your budget for how much you're willing to allocate for your home construction project. Here are a few factors you have to consider when figuring out how much you'll be needing:
How will you raise funds for building your home? Do you plan to sell your current home in order to put up a new one?
How many rooms would you need for your home? Will your budget be able to accommodate these requirements?
Will you be setting a budget for hiring a designer? While many families opt to go the DIY (do-it-yourself) route when building a new home, it might cost you more in the long run if you do so. When you work with a designer, you will actually get many insights about getting the right look and function you want for your house without overspending.
Do you have a contingency fund for your construction budget? Unexpected expenses will definitely crop up as you are building your dream home. It's best to be prepared and set aside a certain amount that you can dip into for emergency purchases or payments.
3. Design
Deciding on the look of your new home is a very exciting process. It's the perfect opportunity for you to be creative and really choose the design that reflects your and your family's personality and preferences. Nowadays, it's actually quite easy to look for wonderful ideas. You may search on Google or Pinterest for a wide variety of home design ideas. Here are some things you will need to consider when you do your research:
What do you want the architectural design to be? Is there a specific style you want for your home?
What are particular style and custom features you want to include?
4. Furniture
Even before you start building, think about the different furniture you need and want to put in your new home. Brainstorm on the layout for your appliances and furniture. Make a list of the rooms you'll build, and then make your dream list of the furniture you want to see in each room. Some of the basic rooms you'll need furniture for are listed below. To see the options you have for furniture, you may visit https://www.adirondackhomefurniture.com/.
How many beds will you buy? What kind of material and style do you prefer for your beds? What kind of mattresses will you need? Do you need child-friendly bed designs?
What appliances will you be installing in your kitchen? Do you have preferred brands for your kitchen appliances? How will you lay out the furniture and equipment in your kitchen?
Dining Room
What dining table and chairs do you want? What other furniture do you want to put in your dining room? Will there be enough room in your dining room so that all the members of your family can move around comfortably during meals?
Living Room
What types of furniture do you want to put in your living room? How do you envision your living room to look like? Where will your couches and chairs be placed? Are you considering putting some coffee tables, rugs, or carpets?
How do you want your bathrooms to look like? How many bathrooms will you need to decorate? What design do you want for them?
5. Planning
Whether you're working on your own or with the help of professionals, do your own research and planning. Get a headstart on your construction plans before the actual building even starts. Once construction begins officially, you will have to make decisions quickly on a regular basis. If you have your options laid out already, it's easy to give your answers when your construction team consults you.
Doing a thorough preparation prior to embarking on your home construction project will ensure that your plans will succeed. You'll see that it can be stress-free to build your own home!

Examining the media coverage of Saudi Arabia's purge and Saad Hariri's resignation as Lebanese prime minister. 19 Nov 2017 14:17 GMT Media, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Mohammed bin Salman, Politics In just two weeks, the new Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman has upended both the domestic and the regional balance of power with a series of moves that have left observers struggling to keep up. And as unprecedented as Lebanon's Saad Hariri's first televised appearance from Riyadh was - the prime minister of one country announcing his resignation from the capital of another, on a Saudi news channel - his second appearance in the news was somehow more compelling. It was in a 90-minute interview on Lebanon's Future TV, a channel Hariri happens to own. The interviewer was the only one of the channel's employees allowed into Saudi Arabia - with the crew and the equipment provided by the host country. During the interview, Hariri seemed leery of a man lingering in the background. "He [Hariri] appeared to be a broken man, a man stripped of his dignity," explains Rania Masri, an academic and writer. "A man who was truly pathetic, truly arousing pity. Not at all a symbol of a government of a sovereign country, but rather the symbol of a man who has been threatened. He was nervous, he was agitated, he was drawn to tears." Lebanon is a politically complex, factionalised country and the country's media landscape reflects that. But what makes this story even more complicated is the Iran angle. Saudi Arabia's regional power struggle with Iran is playing out in the devastating war on Yemen as well as in Lebanon, where the Saudis want to curtail the influence of Hezbollah, the political party and armed group backed by Iran. The same day Hariri hosted an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader last week - a meeting the Iranians described as positive and constructive - the Lebanese prime minister found himself on a plane to Riyadh. "This was kind of like the peak of this media spectacle within this entire drama," says Habib Battah, editor, BeirutReport.com. "The only evidence that we have of our prime minister not being captive is the interview with a journalist who he employs on a TV station that he owns." Hariri landed in Riyadh just as the Saudi government launched what it called an anti-corruption drive. Hundreds were arrested, including more than a dozen royals and ministers of the state. Among those reportedly being held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Riyadh is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, majority owner of the Rotana media company and a business partner of Rupert Murdoch's through 21st Century Fox and News Corporation, as well as Waleed Al Ibrahim, who owns MBC and Al Arabiya, a pan-Arab news channel based in Dubai. The two Saudi media tycoons, who control a wide network of Middle Eastern television channels, radio stations, music labels and digital entertainment assets from Morocco to Oman, were reportedly arrested for resisting the crown prince's repeated attempts over the past year to buy their companies. "That was one of the reasons that they tried the blockade against Qatar," according to David Hearst, editor for the Middle East Eye. "It was because of Al Jazeera's prominence in the media. They're very media minded, and they think, in a very old fashioned way, that the media can be bought. That's the classic Arab state way of thinking about the media. They don't think that the Arab world - and they've said so - is ready for free speech and they want to control it." Masri says, "I can see no other reason for their arrest other than a consolidation of power. We are talking about the wealth of billions of dollars held captive at the Ritz Carlton in Saudi Arabia. And the consolidation of financial power goes hand in hand with the consolidation of media power. Now, if it were really for corruption charges, why have they been arrested and placed in a hotel rather than arrested and had an open trial with clear evidence presented as to the alleged corruption charges?" By this past Thursday, the Financial Times was reporting that the hotel detainees could buy their freedom by surrendering up to 70 percent of their accumulated wealth - which makes the Saudi corruption crackdown look like a shakedown.

Rain and Leaking Slide-outs
We have been having a problem with both slides leaking when it rains. We thought we had it fixed but last week we had a little rain and noticed the bedroom slide was still leaking. The living room slide hasn't leaked, so hopefully that is fixed. So on to plan b.
We were getting ready to winterize yesterday when it started to rain. It turned out to be a good time to look for a leak. I found a little rubber strip that should have been pushed flat when the slide is out. A corner of it had turned down and I think that let a little water run inside. It didn't leak during the rain we got yesterday, so hopefully it's fixed.
We plan to winterize by blowing out the water lines. That way we can more easily de-winterize when we leave next month. This will be the longest trip we've done in any of our Rv's, so we'll have to pack a little differently. For instance, we're bringing both of our Tivo boxes.
We're expecting a cold front today. It's supposed to get down into the mid 30's this week-end, with highs in the mid 60's. It might be a little cold for our Saturday garage sale. We expect it to freeze here, because it's always a little cooler here on our property.

It seems that there are only two kind of slides. Those that have leaked and those that will in the future.ReplyDelete
We have had leaks in two of our three slides from time to time. Unless there is a failure in the gaskets, or poor design, there are just times the gaskets land not quite right and with the right wind and rain combo, they leak.
If the rubber seals aren't properly seated against the rig, that will definitely cause a problem. Sounds like you found it and fixed it, so that's good. Good luck with winterizing the water lines.ReplyDelete
Leaks are no fun, glad you found the source. Sounds like you have a nice trip planned to head south this winter.ReplyDelete
You have gotten some great shots with your new camera, I may have to check it out.
Our slide out never leakes, but we have a leak on the top of our front window. It only leaks when the rain and the wind is just right.ReplyDelete
Can't believe you are having to winterize in November! Hopefully your leak is fixed now. Leaks are a PITA. I think you can find a reasonably price park, especially anywhere north of us. I have seen some for $400 plus electric. The ones in our park are around $450 or $500 plus electric for anything above $50. South of us the prices are much higher.ReplyDelete

Local Artist and Historian Jared Davidson
After visiting Albany Senior High last week and seeing their learning spaces, I've been inspired to look at our spaces in a different way.
Today with not one but two visitors coming to talk to our students in the library it was "now or never" for a bit of change!
Feedback from presentors, students and teachers was nothing but positive.
Even the word "fun" came up, so that was a definite bonus.
Riccarton High School students, Year 12 & 13 Art Design students explored the Celebrate People History exhibiton at the Upper Riccarton School and Commuity Library after a brilliant and very chilled out talk by Jared Davidson.
"Since 1998 the Celebrate People's History Project has produced an amazing array of political posters by different artists from around the world, each highlighting a historical example of struggle for human rights, social justice, and freedom. From the Spanish Revolution to feminist labour organisers, indigenous movements to environmental sustainability, protests against racism to the Korean Peasant's League — Celebrate People's History canvases global movements in collaboration with a global network of artists.
Visually the posters are as diverse as the topics themselves. Screenprint, woodcut, linocut, illustration, line art and traditional graphic design all feature in full colour — employed to engage in much needed critical reflection about aspects of our history often overlooked by mainstream narratives. A seamless welding of art and social themes"
Our Design students are just starting a Poster Design unit, so the timing of this exhibiton couldn't have been more perfect.
Thanks heaps to Sam L, Community Learning Librarian at Upper Riccarton School and Community Library for making this exhibiton happen and Ms Blackwell for making it happen for RHS.
It's just amazing what can be achieved in a Joint-Use School/Community Library!
The display runs until May 14th, come in and say hi if you do come to see it 🙂

Many of the world's most innovative brands — Honda, Sony, Fuji Xerox — call Tokyo home. But tech experts have long said the city's tradition for innovation isn't what it used to be, as disruptors from around the world, including many from cities in neighboring China and South Korea, have stolen the spotlight. That may be about to change.
For change to happen, though, people familiar with the Japanese tech scene say a key aspect of the country's culture needs to change: aversion to failure. Start-ups in Silicon Valley and elsewhere have succeeded, in most cases, thanks to an approach that allows and actually welcomes failure on the path to innovation. Emerging product-design methodology, including Design Thinking, even includes failure as a step. "One of Silicon Valley's strengths is its celebration of 'noble failures' as badges of accomplishment amongst its start-up culture members," says Kevin Ready, an entrepreneur who has worked on projects for Tokyo-based companies such as Sony and Toshiba, and who contributes to Forbes. "In Japan, the dominant norm of corporate culture values low-risk, step-by-step improvement and predictability."
Start-Up Spirit
The enterprising, risk-taking spirit born out of college classwork often doesn't find a place in corporate culture. It's a reality that isn't unique to Tokyo or even Japan — and it's one that corporations, including FedEx, are addressing. But finding ways to encourage and energize start-up-style thinking are taking shape in a unique respect there. What started in 2016 with young employees at Panasonic — and a group called One Panasonic — has since grown to about 1,200 people in 50 large companies, including Canon and Fuji Xerox in Tokyo.
The expanded group, called One Japan, aims to harness young professionals' ideas and passions by connecting them within and across companies, with the hope of boosting innovation. "Big companies tend to have rigid organization structures or monoculture, and that's not good for revitalizing the corporations," Makoto Hamamatsu, founder of One Japan, recently told the Japan Times. "I want people to create an enterprising atmosphere rather than sensing the existing corporate culture and going along with it. I want to see more people take a step forward."
Those connections are working, he says. "The biggest result we've achieved through the activities is elevating members' motivation, and more people have started to take initiative." He's especially gratified to see it working at Panasonic, where he works in consumer electronics business development. "Some people told me that they were thinking about quitting the company but decided to remain, in the end, because of One Panasonic."
Innovation Meets Purpose
Not all cultural norms in Japan, however, are at odds with the needs of innovation. Many Young Innovators are finding new meaning in a traditional Japanese business perspective: a sense of purpose in work. Foundational statements for many of the country's companies, including Tokyo-based Mitsubishi, say that the purpose of business is to create not only financial value, but also societal value. Experts say that leveraging this long-built-in mindset may very well inspire younger generations of innovators, who tend to place an even higher priority on finding purpose than previous generations did. The idea is in line with learnings from the Economist Intelligence Unit, in a report sponsored by FedEx, that revealed that 70 percent of Young Innovators worldwide say social responsibility matters more today than it did five years ago, and two-thirds call it essential to the success of their business.
Poised for More
A CompareCamp analysis of the supply chain for Apple's iPhone presents an interesting example of Tokyo's — and all of Japan's — role in innovative products. Of the 700 companies involved with manufacturing an iPhone, 349 come from China, followed by 139 from Japan and 90 from the United States. The ranking is enviable and encouraging for innovation across industries. And plenty of innovations are in the works. One comes from a robotics company based in Tokyo named Seven Dreamers, which recently debuted a robotic home appliance that will fold and sort laundry. Another, Usockets, has developed electronic supermarket price tags that connect with a centralized system to manage a store's inventory and sales in real time. Even Panasonic is getting in on the action. One of the company's latest innovations uses infrared signals to measure the nutrients of a meal in a mere 10 seconds — with an accuracy range of 20 percent.

Big Wins for Skinner, Hancock in State Elections
The champagne was flowing last night at victory parties for Nancy Skinner, who won the Democratic primary for the State Assembly with 46.8 percent of the vote and Assemblymember Loni Hancock, who won the Democratic primary for State Senate with 56.5 percent of the vote.
Seen as Democratic Party insiders, both overcame the challenges of strong competition and a passive electorate.
The mood was grim among the three dozen or so volunteers at Councilmember Kriss Worthing-ton's modest campaign office at University and San Pablo ave-nues. Around 9:15 p.m., with only a fraction of the absentee ballots reported, Worthington, outspent he said by some competitors 3-to-1, stood on a chair to thank his supporters and concede victory to Skinner.
Early Wednesday morning, with all precincts counted (absentee ballots which were turned in on election day and provisional ballots won't be counted for another 30 days), Worthington had picked up 16.4 percent or 7,820 votes, falling behind Richmond City Councilmember Tony Thurmond, who garnered 24.5 percent or 11,623 votes. Phil Polakoff got 12.3 percent or 5,857 votes. Skinner's 46.8 percent translated to 22,234 votes.
In stark contrast, the mood was celebratory at Skinner's victory party where some 50 supporters crowded into the back room at the Downtown restaurant on Shattuck Avenue to applaud the apparent winner, who made her appearance at around 10 p.m. and spoke more formally an hour later.
"People in this state deserve better—California used to be top in education," said the former city councilmember with long-time personal and political ties to Mayor Tom Bates and Hancock, calling the governor's antipathy to restoration of taxes "irrational."
Skinner promised not to wait until she takes office in December to start her assembly work.
"I'm going to start building a statewide coalition now," she said.
In his concession speech, Worthington called on his supporters to move Skinner to the progressive positions she espoused as a city councilmember in the 1980s.
"We need to all reach out to Nancy—work with her—pull her, so she'll be the Nancy of years ago," Worthington said.
Before her victory speech, the Planet asked Skinner whether she'd be pressured for votes against progressive values, such as Hancock's vote for 50,000 more prison beds.
Skinner said that while she had support from labor and other "special interests," no one group got her elected. "The money I raised was in over 800 individual contributions—that gives me more room" to vote independently, she said.
Back down on San Pablo Avenue, Hancock and supporters—many of them having driven across town from the Skinner office—were celebrating victory at the Sierra Club office. Flanked by Assemblymember Sandré Swanson and Oakland City Councilmember Jean Quan, Hancock delivered her second victory speech of the evening toward midnight. With all precincts reporting, Hancock won the race soundly with 56.5 percent to Chan's 43.5 percent. Hancock got 46,694 votes and Chan picked up 36,037 votes.
She said her victory shows that "it is possible to run a positive campaign, even when being outspent two-to-one." Hancock was talking about the last-minute barrage of hit pieces against her put out by Indian gaming interests in support of former Assemblymember Wilma Chan.
While Worthington and Skinner both talked about vacations they planned to take soon, Hancock will be going back up to the Assembly to try to get the state budget passed. She has introduced legislation aimed at taxing people who earn more than $250,000 annually, a levy that Gov. Ronald Reagan had instituted.
"We don't need new taxes—give us our old taxes back again," she said.
On Wednesday, Chan sent an e-mail to the Planet congratulating Hancock on her victory and called on her supporters to "roll up our sleeves, put on our walking shoes and get to work to make that hope a reality and to elect Barack Obama as our President."
The Polakoff and Thurmond campaigns did not return calls for comment on Wednesday.

Ways of Giving
The Virginia United Methodist Foundation has many different options for donors to explore what will work best for their financial and estate planning goals. These gifts can provide income and some tax benefits for the donor. These gifts will continue to assist the Foundation in our mission of "Stewarding Potential To Build His Kingdom."
The most common donations are outright gifts, such as cash or a check, which the church receives right away. But many times, people want to retain their money and other assets for now, ensuring they can meet their family's future financial needs. These individuals are usually delighted to learn that there are excellent alternatives that allow them to still make a gift. One of these options could be right for you.
Planned gifts can be revocable – a charitable bequest in your will, for example – so that you can change your mind at any time. Or, they can be irrevocable – just as outright gifts are – so that you benefit from an immediate income tax deduction.
The attraction of irrevocable planned gifts is that they are deferred. You part with an asset today, but the actual giving of the asset to the church is put off for a while—often until after your lifetime (and that of a surviving beneficiary, if you wish). Until that time, you receive benefits from the gift.
For example, with a charitable remainder trust, you receive lifetime income from the asset after it's placed in a trust, and then the church receives the remainder of the trust after you die. Or, you could deed the church a remainder interest in your home and still retain the right to live in it for life. At any rate, the key feature of planned gifts like these is that they provide the donor important benefits, as well as your church.

Clinical Psychology versus Counseling Psychology
For many people, the difference between a clinical psychologists and a counseling psychologist is confusing, but with some explanation, it's very easy to discern the two. If you're interested in studying psychology though, then it's important to know the difference between the two.
Typically the two professions perform similar work as both researchers and practitioners. Additionally, individuals from both sides often work together in a number of settings, such as academic institutions, hospitals, mental health centers, community centers, independent practices, college counseling centers, or more. Yet the two professions do perform slightly different tasks in the psychology field, all of which are worth noting:
Clinical Psychologists
Clinical practice usually refers to the care, diagnosis, and treatment of someone who has mental illness, abnormal behavior, emotional or behavioral disorders, or psychiatric problems. Many clinical psychologists use a variety of psychology approaches depending on the person's issue. Clinical psychology can be used in individual, family, or group therapy sessions. Clinical psychologists also design behavior modification programs and help patients implement their particular program towards their desired goals.
Counseling Psychologists
Counselors consult, advise, or deliberate with patients. According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, a counseling psychologists helps "patients understand their problems, including issues in the home, workplace, or community." As a counselor you would hold a session with a patient and help identify their strengths and resources they can use to manage their unique issues. Counseling psychologists are integral to helping individuals work through problems in a variety of settings and the position requires an ability to adapt quickly scenarios that can present themselves when bringing individuals together. Counseling psychologists many times possess a much more innate ability to get other comfortable and create an environment intuitive to opening up and work through issues. It's a skill that can't be overstated in its importance because of how hesitant people can be to discussing issues with others not directly involved.
Education for Clinical and Counseling Psychologists
Both clinical and counseling psychologists usually need a doctoral degree in order to practice professionally. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics says that psychologists can complete a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree, depending on what type of education they prefer and what field they wish to pursue.
A Ph.D. requires research, a comprehensive exam, and a dissertation based on the research. Often counselors get a Ph.D. in psychology, as it requires a 1-year internship of practical experience within a counseling setting. By no means is this an easy feat. Many people who attain a Ph.D. in psychology regard it as a crowning achievement in their life, not because it's the most important accomplishment they'll ever make, but because it enables them to engage in the most important accomplishments they'll ever make- helping others. If this is something that sounds appealing and you truly think you have the capacity to commit yourself to the large undertaking of it, you'll be well on the path to touching countless lives through your work.
The Psy.D. degree is usually what clinical psychologists obtain. It's based on practical work and examinations rather than a final dissertation. The real-life experience attained is what solidifies credentials needed to aptly address the concerns and needs of others.
Licensure of Counseling and Clinical Psychologists
In most states, practicing psychology or using the title of "psychologist" requires licensure or certification. Therefore, as both a counselor and clinical psychologist, you must look into becoming certified.
Information on specific requirements by state can be found from the Association of State and Provincial Licensing Board. In many states, licensed psychologists must complete continuing education courses to keep their licenses.
NASP also awards the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) designation, which is a nationally recognized certification.
