CambriLearn has just launched its new online monitoring platform – the Student Tracker. Demand for this product from parents, guardians and tutor centres alike has been high and now it has finally arrived, it means that a student's progress can be closely monitored. Just imagine, you will be able to keep tabs on all the subjects your child or your learners are subscribed to. You will know exactly how they are doing and how much of the course they have completed. Our records show that students who have an involved parent over the course of their homeschooling years, tend to perform better in terms of workload management and marks achieved. This is because the parent is helping to monitor and motivate their child. The Student Tracker will now better help you to help them!
A traditional-type school is very structured – daily, weekly and term timetables are all planned out for the student. There is not much choice but for the student to follow this structure. Moreover, the physical presence of a teacher in a classroom setting ensures the student adheres to this structure. As an online teacher, I am always aware of the struggles students have with distance learning. They have to organise their own timetables, keep to their daily workload, and get to grips with technology they may not be familiar with. They also need to track which assignments they have done and submitted for particular subjects, and which they have received back with marks and comments. And this is why students who have an involved parent tend to perform better. This does not mean that the parent has to take on the role of a teacher; it simply means taking an interest in how their child is progressing and making sure they are sticking to a set timetable. This may be difficult for working parents to implement but one way of getting around this is to subscribe to CambriLearn's new Student Tracker feature.
Welcome to the Student Tracker
The Student Tracker gives parents, guardians and tutor centres an ongoing insight into a student's progress on CambriLearn (Important to note: This feature is only available on courses with a Premium Subscription). Parental involvement is a vital element in the success of homeschooling and parents will now be able to monitor, evaluate and facilitate a student's progress. Parents, guardians and tutor centres will be able to create a unique account linked to a relevant student(s).
This account will give them an overview of:
- Course averages – based on marked assignments
- Course progress – shows how far the student has progressed through the learning material
- Assignment progress – shows the number of assignments completed to date
- Subscription duration – shows how far the student is through the 12-month subscription
- Teacher information for each subject
- Number of days active per month
- Number of lessons completed per month
- Number of Q & A group sessions attended per month
- Number of live chats with teachers per month
For a comprehensive explanation of all the features on the Student Tracker, please watch the following video:
What parent involvement in homeschooling should look like
According to education experts, Fenton & McFarland, "parent involvement in children's home learning can be fostered in a variety of ways, including:
- asking questions about what children are learning, encouraging and supporting children to complete homework;
- helping to teach organisational and self-study skills, such as keeping notebooks organised, and creating time and space for learning activities;
- showing an interest in children's learning, listening to them talk about their day;
- engaging with the information distributed by schools (via Facebook, email, website, etc); and
- providing access to learning resources, such as trips to the library, access to internet, and materials to complete homework.
Most importantly, these strategies create a range of ways that connect the home and primary school environments. By being engaged and interested in their children's activities outside the school, parents can be powerful supporters of their children's learning."
It really is not necessary for parents to have previous teaching experience in order to help their child progress in their homeschooling. What they need to do is to act in a supervisory role, showing an interest and providing moral support on an ongoing basis. According to Shirley Erwee, a homeschool curriculum author, consultant and activist, "parents are the experts on their own children and they have their children's long term best interests at heart. This is why all research has shown that home-educated learners generally outperform their school-going peers, regardless of their parent's income levels or education." With the Student Tracker you can now monitor exactly where your child is performing well and where they need improvement. You can then shift some focus onto the areas that require this improvement, adapting their study timetable around this if necessary.
The Student Tracker can show Q & A group sessions and online chat participation
CambriLearn holds weekly Q & A group sessions – question and answer sessions in which students get to pose questions to a particular subject teacher, based on work they have been doing that week. This is a great opportunity to have some face-to-face 'teaching' time. A trend I have noticed is that students who regularly come to weekly Q & A sessions tend to perform better than those who do not. This may be because it acts as a reminder that the student is part of a 'school', that there are specialists to support them, and that there are others also slogging through the course. The Student Tracker will be able to inform you of your child's attendance and whether or not they have been corresponding with their teachers via the online chat option. Sometimes children are reluctant to discuss their progress with parents or to admit that they have not been attending Q & A sessions. With the Student Tracker, you should get a better idea of what your child is up to and just how active they are on the site.
Perhaps of even more significance is the fact that parents, guardians or tutor centres can also download a learner's marked assignments from the Student Tracker. Comments on marked work provides vital feedback to students on exactly where they are going wrong. This is where more precise information can be gleaned on what weaknesses a student needs to address.
A final word on how Student Tracker can revolutionise parental involvement
CambriLearn Principal, Cecilia von Molendorff (who also teaches Economics, Business and Accounting), feels that parental involvement can even determine whether or not a child fails or passes a course. She believes in the old adage that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Cecilia points out that the CambriLearn system provides students with live sessions, access to course material and to full-time subject-specialist teachers who provide detailed marking of assignments: "We provide it all for the students. But you can't take the students and force them to interact with a perfect system. They've got to go through it with someone and that is where a parent is important. Students who can manage on their own are few and far between. The typical student needs a parent to help them manage their time and to monitor their progress. This can also be where tutor centres come in because they can provide this kind of monitoring. Full value for money in homeschooling comes from a parent, au pair or tutor acting as facilitator."
Cecilia further points out that "The Student Tracker now enables parents, guardians and tutor centres to become active facilitators in their child's homeschooling. The potential is there to make a significant difference to a student's overall performance."
Parents need to make some effort to contribute towards their children's education, and homeschooling more than allows for this. It is an opportunity to show that you care about your child's daily activities and long-term goals, that you want to be involved, and that you are willing to provide them with the moral support they need. The Student Tracker makes this goal much more attainable and will give you the knowledge you need to steer your child in the right direction.

Visions of Community in Nazi Germany: Social Engineering and Private Lives
Language: English
Pages: 368
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
When the Nazis seized power in Germany in 1933 they promised to create a new, harmonious society under the leadership of the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. The concept of Volksgemeinschaft - 'the people's community' - enshrined the Nazis' vision of society'; a society based on racist, social-Darwinist, anti-democratic, and nationalist thought. The regime used Volksgemeinschaft to define who belonged to the National Socialist 'community' and who did not. Being accorded the status of belonging granted citizenship rights, access to the benefits of the welfare state, and opportunities for advancement, while these who were denied the privilege of belonging lost their right to live. They were shamed, excluded, imprisoned, murdered.
Volksgemeinschaft was the Nazis' project of social engineering, realized by state action, by administrative procedure, by party practice, by propaganda, and by individual initiative. Everyone deemed worthy of belonging was called to participate in its realization. Indeed, this collective notion was directed at the individual, and unleashed an enormous dynamism, which gave social change a particular direction. The Volksgemeinschaft concept was not strictly defined, which meant that it was rather marked by a plurality of meaning and emphasis which resulted in a range of readings in the Third Reich, drawing in people from many social and political backgrounds.
Visions of Community in Nazi Germany scrutinizes Volksgemeinschaft as the Nazis' central vision of community. The contributors engage with individual appropriations, examine projects of social engineering, analyze the social dynamism unleashed, and show how deeply private lives were affected by this murderous vision of society.

The staffing levels and facilities in residential (geschlossen), walk-in (offen), and semi-residential (halboffen) relief programmes provided by Caritas and the Inner Mission remained virtually identical between 1928 and 1941–2.

Today, the Internet is a key infrastructure, it is important to know the behavior and current conditions of it. This Thesis deals with Internet route measurements, which helps to better understand, and tries to answer these question.
For this purpose, an automated measurement system was developed, which carries out internet measurements with the help of the PlanetLab network. The system is monitoring the parts of the internet seen by the nodes of the network. The collected measurements are stored and processed by multiple pipelines for different purposes, like route evolution observation. To provide a reliable data feed, the measurement system was designed for continuous and fault tolerant operation, extended with operational supervision functions. The used and developed technologies are accessible under Open-source licenses. Anybody has access to them and can further develop new components to it.
The collected data and its preliminary analysis demonstrated, that the measurement system can provide insights into the behavior of Internet routes. The publicized results and tools can have a real value for groups interested in internet measurements.

Impala, also known as Richard Granger, is a fairly fresh name in the electronic scene. The producer hails from the city of Los Angeles and just shared his first original "Pilot", with vocals lent over by Tima Dee. While there's little known of this producer, "Pilot" gives us solid insight and a positive first impression from the artist. Taking a breezy approach to the track, Impala crafts an emotionally filled tuned that caters to a pop-loving audience but also to those future bass fanatics. Impala provides a whimsical blueprint to Tima Dee's vocals, with uplifting synths that flutter throughout the original. Painting an iridescent soundscape with subtle peculiarities in sound, Impala has a knack for creating imaginative tracks in cohesion with buttery pop vocals.

MEDIA HOW-TO GUIDE www.FoodDay.org 1 MEDIA Media coverage can help you build local excitement about your Food Day project or event. It can also start a conversation around food issues in your community and enable you to reach many more people than on your own. This guide is designed to help everyone—from novice to expert—generate media attention and coverage for Food Day. A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR GETTING MEDIA ATTENTION Food Day Talking Points Pitching and placing a news article Utilizing social media Writing and submitting commentary pieces Writing and submitting letters-to-the-editor General media outreach tips 2 HOW TO TALK ABOUT FOOD DAY As you prepare to reach out to media and/or respond to interested reporters, refer to these key points about Food Day to stay on message and get your point across clearly. It's important to understand that you aren't expected to rattle off these points verbatim; it should be used more as a guide for your thinking and preparation for interviews. Your personal talking points should also include local references to your specific events and relevant food-related issues FOOD DAY 2011: EAT REAL Ta l k i n g P o i n t s Food Day is about bringing communities together to begin a genuine and all-inclusive conversation about the way we produce, consume, and think about food in this country. We hope that by starting this important conversation, we can begin to spark meaningful change and reform of the food system in America. The current state of our food movement encompasses a wide array of issues and voices that we intend to bring together on Food Day. Food Day will be about all issues related to the production and consumption of food—from sustainable production and humane treatment of animals, to nutritional value, food safety, and affordability. Food Day is modeled after Earth Day and is intended to generate recognition of the challenges we face in changing the way we think about, produce, and consume food in America. The ultimate goal of Food Day is to start a movement to "Eat Real" in communities across the country. What does it mean to "Eat Real?" It's simple really; what we're fighting for is sustainable, humane, healthy, accessible, and safe food. Specifically, Food Day is aimed at fixing the food system by: o Promoting safe, healthy foods to reduce obesity and diet-related diseases o Supporting sustainable, family farms o Expanding access to food and alleviating hunger o Protecting the environment and animals by reforming factory farming methods o Promoting children's health by reducing junk food marketing aimed at kids o Supporting fair conditions for all food and farm workers Hundreds of events, with thousands of participants nationwide, will be taking place in communities across the country to celebrate Food Day. These events are being hosted by local school districts, grocery stores, farms, city governments, food banks, universities, and restaurants, among other groups. Events will range from cookbook talks and the planting of organic community gardens, to special school lunch menus, film screenings, and largescale volunteer days at food banks. Food Day is founded and sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. In addition, Food Day is supported by an advisory board of leaders in the Food Movement, including: Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, Jane Fonda, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA). Food Day is also supported by a myriad of companies and organizations, including: American Public Health Association, the Humane Society, and Bolthouse Farms, among others. At the end of the day, Food Day is a grassroots event, driven by local organizers all across the country. Here in [CITY], I am excited to be organizing [EVENT], where we will [ACTIVITY]. 3 HOW TO PITCH AND PLACE A STORY: To place a story in a media outlet, you can use many approaches to reach out to reporters. This portion of the How-To guide walks you through the important steps to take before, during, and after your pitch to increase your chances of success. Step 1: Choose an outlet for your story. Remember that the media are a prime target audience for publicizing Food Day's message. You will want to target individual reporters from specific media outlets and convince them to cover some aspect of Food Day. Think about how people in your area get their news — newspapers, radio, television, or the Internet? What are the most popular or influential sources? Make a list of places you'd like to get coverage and then start a list of journalists from those media outlets who are writing or speaking about issues related to food, nutrition, sustainability, agriculture, community events, farmers markets, etc. You may be able to find an organization that already has a good press list. Step 2: Compile a media list. Media lists are databases containing the names and contact information for members of the media. Your media list should contain the contact's name, outlet, coverage area ("beat"), email, telephone number, and a notes section where you can add any and all relevant updates about the contact. The best way to build a media list is to truly evaluate who is already covering the issue(s) you're focused on emphasizing about Food Day. While one approach would be to include every writer at a particular news outlet on your list and hope that a pitch blasted out to all of them will reach a few relevant contacts, you'll have better luck if you create a list of top targets and pursue those people aggressively. Also, a media list is always a work in progress. It is never a finished product because you should always be adding to and updating it according to the media coverage on your topic of interest. Likely Outlets Daily papers Weekly free and commercial papers Local commercial radio show hosts (producers) Local public radio stations (usually the station manager or lead reporter depending on where you are.) Local television affiliates (usually the news director) Step 3: Identify the best news hook. Think about what makes your event and activities around Food Day unique, exciting, and relevant to the issues that news outlets are covering in your area. Reporters and readers love a narrative — a storyline that helps them understand why something is new and different. Also, you're more likely to get coverage by focusing on your local story — the local event, the local people involved (e.g., the local farmers who provided the food for the event), and why the issue matters to your community. Step 4: If you're having an event, send a media advisory. A media advisory is different than a press release — it is sent in advance of an event to urge the media to attend. The advisory should clearly tell the media what the event is focused on, where and when the event is going to be, who will be there, and why the event is being held so they have the necessary information to research and send a reporter to your event. An example of an event is an "Eat-Up" where people come together to eat real, sustainable food. A typical media advisory has the look of a press release with your contact information up top and an attention-grabbing headline. The body of the advisory more closely resembles an invitation, and should very simply list the information you want the reporter to know. 4 An advisory should be sent to journalists 4-7 days prior to your event (or earlier if you're sending it to a weekly paper). Once you pass it along to your targeted media outlets, follow up with a phone call 1-2 days prior to the event and then on the day of the event to find out if someone will be able to attend. During the event or immediately after it takes place, send out your press release. Use an embargo if you don't want the story released until a specific time.

A press release is a written account of your announcement or event that provides details, commentary, quotes, and basic background about Food Day and the related issues you want to present to the media. Anything included in a press release is considered material a reporter could include in a story s/he decides to write, so it's essential to develop interesting and salient quotes and descriptions. It should provide a thorough summary of your announcement, event, or plans for Food Day, with quotes from your spokespersons and any other local leaders whose support would be valuable. You 5 will probably send several press releases for Food Day. For instance, announcing: the formation of your committee, your events, a mayoral proclamation of Food Day and a release summarizing your event for media that could not attend. At the top of your press release, include the words "For Immediate Release" to tell reporters the information is now public. Also include your contact information. Next, include a headline that is to the point and intriguing. You can also add a subtitle in italics to add more context to the headline. Then begin the body of your press release. Be sure to lead with the most important and newsy paragraph and don't forget your news hook. Make sure to support your argument with quotes and relevant background information. NEWS RELEASE Or use a date when you want the story released. Indicate city and state of event. October 24, 2011 Contacts: Local Coordinator, 401-777-0960 Food Day Committee Chairperson, 401-472-5920 For Immediate Release: Buffalonians Celebrate Food Day in a Big Way Event calls attention to local food deserts and celebrates national campaign with healthy, affordable food for all Buffalo, NY – Today, over two thousand Buffalo residents celebrated the first national Food Day locally with a kick-off at Broadway Market and hundreds of events across the city, including an official City Dinner hosted by Mayor Christopher Robin at City Hall. More than 1,500 local signatures were collected in support of national and local Food Day priorities. "Food Day is an opportunity to celebrate real food and the growing movement to fix the food system. I'm thrilled that thousands of people across the City of Good Neighbors joined in celebration and to fix the food system, starting with the food deserts on the West Side of Buffalo," Mayor Christopher Robin said. Food Day is a national campaign to draw attention to celebrate healthy, affordable foods produced in a humane, sustainable way and to fix the food system by: * Reducing obesity and diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods * Supporting sustainable family farms and cutting subsides to huge agribusiness * Ending urban and rural "food deserts" by providing access to healthy foods * Protecting the environment and farm animals by reforming factory farms * Promoting children's health by curbing junk-food marketing aimed at kids * Obtaining fair wages for all workers in the food system. CONTINUED... 6 Locally, Buffalonians advocated for: * A city-wide tax on sugary beverages to fund healthcare programs * Tax credits to supermarkets located in food deserts and for existing stores to purchase refrigeration units for low-fat dairy products and fresh produce Local growers provided fresh ingredients to many of these events. Many of these local growers signed up months in advance to contribute their produce as well as discuss the importance of sustainable agriculture to all attendees. "We were exited to hear about the creation of Food Day many months ago and are happy to provide our produce," said John Smith, a local grower. "This is not just a day-long event, but an opportunity to make a permanent change that supports a more sustainable and healthy future." ### Step 6: Send out your press release. Your press release should generally go out the day of your announcement or event. Step 7: Call reporters. When you make your pitch, explain how your event or report is unique and newsworthy. For example, "This is one of the thousands of events taking place around the country to mark the first annual Food Day." With smaller outlets, a local angle is usually the best lead, as well as any specifics on noteworthy attendees or whether a significant crowd is anticipated. Be sure to respect their time. Reporters are usually on deadline towards the end of the day so it is best to call in mid-morning. Keep to the point, and follow up as necessary. Try to speak to the reporter directly instead of leaving a voicemail. Step 8: If a reporter is interested, prepare spokespeople for interviews. Interviews can be intimidating for people who have never spoken with reporters before, but there's no reason to be nervous. Before conducting an interview, be sure to research the reporter's background and previous stories s/he has written that relate to your issue. It's important to understand the audience the reporter is writing for so you can speak to them in your answers. Anticipate what questions may be asked and have answers ready, identify potential issues that may arise, know the facts, know what you don't know, and practice "bridging" techniques that bring the conversation back to the points you wish to get across in the interview. Step 9: Things to do in an interview. During an interview, there are many ways you can guide the conversation. During your introductions, explain your position and particular areas of expertise. When you tell your story, keep it simple and cite the facts and figures that are relevant in an interesting way. Don't overwhelm the interviewer with too much at once. Talking about one thing in 10 seconds shows that you are in control. Talking about 10 things in 30 seconds is when you risk losing control. Use colorful examples, personal experiences, and real-life comparisons to get your point across. By avoiding jargon, statistics, and complex concepts you'll also keep the interview on track. Although you do not have control over what questions the reporter asks, you are in control of what you say and bridging your answers back to the messages you want to convey. To do this, first acknowledge the question and then bridge to your message. This may sound something like: "That 7 may be the case, but one thing to consider is…" or "That's not my area of expertise, but I can tell you…" or "That's an interesting question, it reminds me of…" Step 10: Things NOT to do in an interview. Don't answer hypothetical questions but instead acknowledge that it's a hypothetical and bridge to a message. Don't guess, always tell the truth. Avoid "yes" and "no" answers by seizing the opportunity to tell an interesting story. And lastly, avoid long and complex answers. Step 11: Helpful interview tricks to remember. In a phone interview Stand up to sound more energetic Smile—and your message will sound more appealing Speak clearly and not too fast When interviewing in person Sit straight in your chair, slightly forward Use your hands effectively by keeping motions between your abdomen and shoulders Maintain eye contact with the reporter When a camera is present for a TV interview Speak clearly and not too fast Avoid wearing any clothing that might cause distractions like loud prints and shiny jewelry No matter what form your interview takes, allow pauses in the conversation. It's natural to be nervous and continue talking after you've made your point to avoid awkward silences. Just let the pause sit for a moment to avoid getting off message or creating a weird soundbyte that becomes the story. Step 12: How to Pitch a Feature Story In the weeks leading up to Food Day, it's a good idea to try pitching a feature story to local reporters. A feature story is different than pitching your event for coverage. Instead, pitching a feature means focusing less on the actual event you will be hosting and instead, generating interest in a broader issue. Because it is less focused on your Food Day event, feature pitching can take place a few weeks in advance of Food Day. One way to pitch a feature story about Food Day is to think about a major issue related to food that has been in the news in your area and think of a way to use that issue to direct a reporter's interest to Food Day. For example, if you recently had an outbreak of foodborne illness in your area, it might be a good opportunity to contact the reporters who covered it and let them know that there is a growing grassroots movement to prevent these types of outbreaks in the future. Or maybe data recently showed that a high percentage of families in your area are going hungry because they cannot afford food. Once again, using this news to turn attention to the growing grassroots movement to alleviate hunger is a good way to pitch a feature story. It may be that there is not a major issue related to food that is currently in the news in your area. In this case, it would be worth thinking about who you know that is participating in Food Day and has an interesting story to tell. Maybe you know a local chef who is trying something new with his or her menu, or a school district administrator who is shaking up the lunch menu. In these cases, it's a great idea to pitch these folks to reporters for potential feature profiles. By using their interesting stories, you can get food-related issues into the spotlight and make sure they bring up Food Day in their interviews. 8 Your approach to pitching a feature story can be done in a variety of ways, but usually it's best to call up the general news desk and ask who covers either a) food related issues or b) feature stories/ feature editor. Once you know who your targets are, try to read up on a few of their recent stories to get a sense of the issues they cover and topics they might find interesting. Next, craft an email pitch that lays out the story idea you think would best suit them. Follow up with a call to discuss their interest in your idea in the days immediately following. Even if they decide not to write an advance feature story, it's another opportunity to plug Food Day and get them thinking about possible Food Day stories they might want to do, or recommend to colleagues. Step 13: How to Pitch an Editorial Board In the lead up to Food Day, you should also pitch the editorial board of your local newspaper to try convincing them to write an editorial in support of Food Day. Just like getting your city government to pass a proclamation recognizing Food Day, getting your local newspaper to write an editorial recognizing the importance of Food Day can be quite powerful. In order to get your newspaper to write a positive editorial, the best thing you can do is to find out who sits on the editorial board and contact them with an editorial board memo. The best approach to identifying the right contact is to either research the board on the newspaper's website, or call and ask around to find out. Some newspapers have multiple editorial writers, some only have one. If there are multiple contacts, you should find out who covers editorials on food, agriculture, local issues, etc. Once you know who is in charge of writing editorials at your local paper, you should craft a short memo that explains what Food Day is, why it is important for your community, and why you believe the editorial board should write about its importance. In the memo, make sure to provide details about the event you will be hosting and make your best effort to tie Food Day into issues that are in the news locally. Your memo should conclude with an offer to come in and talk about Food Day directly with the editorial board member(s). Once you've sent in your memo, make sure to follow-up by phone. These days, editorial boards are often short-staffed and they may not have time to sit down with you one-on-one. However, a call to flag your memo and remind the editors that you are available to answer questions about Food Day could lead to an editorial appearing without an in-person meeting. If you are invited to talk with the editorial board, make sure you familiarize yourself with your talking points beforehand and follow the tips (included in this kit) for in-person interviews. GENERAL MEDIA OUTREACH TIPS: Be Helpful: Reporters are busy, so make their job easier. Organize all the information they will need before your first contact. If you're holding an event, have some materials on hand about Food Day and the issues in case they'd like further information. Be Specific: The more specific information you give reporters the better. If the media knows what to expect they will be able to better cover it. If a prominent figure is working with you, mention this. If you're holding an event, describe in detail where it will be held. Answer "Why": Why is this newsworthy? This will be a key point for the media, so don't hide what you are advocating for – put that up front. 9 Follow-up — Don't Harass: If you sent a press release and you don't hear back right away, don't despair — follow up with a call to see if the outlet received what you sent them or needs more information. Be diligent but respectful – checking in is one thing, but if you harass the outlet they will be less eager to work with you in the future. Be Polite: Always remember to thank people — it will go a long way the next time you have an announcement. UTILIZING SOCIAL MEDIA: Social media are additional tools you can use to drive a message and raise awareness about Food Day and specific events. Social media include blogging, Facebook, Twitter, and many other informal ways of communicating on the Internet. Publicizing your event through each of these media will require a little research. Sometimes you can find lists of prominent bloggers on the Internet. Ex. Buffalo, NY: http:// www.networkedblogs.com/network/buffalo_ny/. Bloggers will help reach potential participants beyond traditional media outreach. Create your own blog to track the progress of your event using blogspot, tumblr, wordpress or another blog hosting site. Use Google blogs and Technorati to locate other blogs writing about topics of shared interest. Twitter is a tool for Internet conversation. You can hold conversations with followers and tell people what you are doing/thinking, what you are reading, and what you are planning. Once you set up a Twitter account, you should follow local dietitians, health bloggers, reporters, and others to help draw attention to your event. You are allowed to create 140 character posts about called tweets. Hashtags are a special way to link information on Twitter. They act as organic keywords so tweets show up more easily in a Twitter search. Use a hashtag for your city and state to help publicize your event to local people. If you click a hashtag, it will take you to other tweets using that tag. You can put a hashtag anywhere in the tweet. Hashtagged words often become trending topics, so try to get people to use our #FoodDay tag. Try to use the #FoodDay tag when talking about your event so people can find it quickly in a search. For example, instead of writing Food Day, write #FoodDay. Make sure you message new followers and reply to tweets when possible. Engaging people on Twitter is a very important practice to get more people involved. Twitter.com/CSPI has a good list of people to follow. Twitter is a great way to create awareness for your event. Twitter Other useful tags to publicize the event beyond your followers include #foodday, #eatreal, #food, #health, #nutrition, #localfood, #buylocal, #obesity, #foodsafety. (Tags help you be found by people looking for you.) Facebook Food Day: http://www.facebook.com/ FoodDayEatReal CSPI: http://www.facebook.com/ pages/Center-for-Sciencein-the-Public-InterestCSPI/240937060405?ref=ts 10 Try to have one other hashtag in your tweet along with the #FoodDay tag so your tweet comes up in searches beyond your followers. If you have an active personal Twitter account, you can sort people by lists to help separate other topics from people relevant to Food Day. Use Food Day's Facebook page to publicize your event. Send a message and event invitation to all of your friends. Create an event page - Facebook is a good way to organize your event. Link it to a webpage or blog for your event, if you have created one. Encourage your friends and family to send the event to their friends too. **Make sure to link your blogs, Facebook pages/events, and Twitter handles with URLs for each site. Also be sure to add links to these pages in an e-mail signature or somewhere within your e-mail correspondence with volunteers and attendees. If you have an established professional profile, you should share your event information on LinkedIn. It is a great place to make connections with potential volunteers or attendees. COMMENTARIES, LETTERS-TO-THE-EDITOR, AND OPINION-EDITORIALS: Placing letters-to-the-editor or commentaries in local newspapers and radio stations can be an influential way to insert Food Day's viewpoint into an ongoing conversation. A commentary is a radio piece, usually on public radio stations, that expresses an opinion or perspective about an issue in the news. A letter to the editor (LTE) is just that — a letter written to a newspaper by a reader in order to respond to a previous article or to offer a newsworthy opinion. HOW TO WRITE AND SUBMIT A RADIO COMMENTARY PIECE: Step 1: Decide when to submit a commentary piece and what to write about. Commentaries are most likely to be aired when there is a public debate or coverage of a particular issue occurring, perhaps around rising food prices or food deserts. In some cases they may also be tied to events; however those pieces are generally more difficult to place if they do not have a strong and relevant news hook. It's best to emphasize a local/regional angle if possible (e.g., how local farmers producing environmentally-friendly and sustainable food are impacted by factory farms). The biggest rule is to pitch the commentary before the news goes old — news goes stale very fast. Step 2: Write the commentary. Commentaries should clearly articulate the problem at the beginning of the piece (e.g., junk-food marketing towards children and resulting in unhealthy eating habits). Then narrow the arguments down to a regional point (e.g., children in the area have a higher obesity rate than other parts of the country). Conclude with a clearly defined callto-action (e.g., "Food Day is a way we can urge our representatives to end junk-food marketing to children and adopt policies that encourage eating real, healthy, and sustainable foods."). Radio stations have different time requirements for segments. Roughly speaking, every three words of copy are about one second of air time, so it's best to keep commentaries to 400 words. If the station's website does not indicate time requirements, be sure to ask so you know before you submit your text. 11 HOW TO WRITE AND SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR (LTE): Step 1: Decide when to submit an LTE. LTEs are most often published in response to an article/ editorial and point out an alternate perspective. In some cases it may make sense to submit an LTE that does not relate back to a particular article, but rather highlights an upcoming or recent local event, but keep in mind, these pieces are less likely to be printed (e.g., Food Day supports healthy eating and food production in concert with the environment). Step 2: Choose what to write in an LTE. LTEs should be able to stand on their own and make sense to readers who may not have read the original article to which it is responding. Trying to cover several topics and making too many points reduces letters' impact, so try to keep to one subject if possible. Step 3: Write your LTE. LTEs should be focused and direct. Newspapers and online outlets have different word count requirements for LTEs, so look up the requirements on the newspaper's website. In general it is best to keep them as short and succinct as possible (usually between 150250 words). Step 4: List your info. Always include your credentials and contact information, as most publications will require verbal verification that you have authored the piece. If you do not provide contact information your letter will most likely not be published! Step 5: Follow-up after you submit. Most newspapers have areas online where you can post SAMPLE comments to articles. If your LTE does not get placed, consider going online and adding your letter as a comment to a story. Dear Editor, Obesity is a problem not only in our neighborhood and our state, but all across America. This comes as a result of many problems with our food system. Americans make bad food choices everyday, but what if you can't find good food? My home is located within a food desert – which means healthy, affordable food is difficult to obtain. The readily available 'food' I have easy access to is ultra-processed and loaded with fat, calories, and sodium. This has to stop. I want access to real food, and by this I mean real, delicious, affordable, and convenient food that makes me feel healthy. This is why I'm helping with Food Day on October 24th, a national grassroots movement to breakthrough the noise and start conversations with neighbors and leaders about what we eat, how we eat it, who is producing it, who can afford it, and if it's helping/hurting the local economy. I am joining with hundreds of organizations and activists to create one thousand events across the nation to transform the American diet and have fun. Together we will demand healthy, affordable food produced in a humane, environmentally sustainable way because: It's Time to Eat Real, America. Check it out at www.foodday.org Sincerely, Jennifer Smith Buffalo Food Day Coordinator 12 HOW TO WRITE AND SUBMIT AN OPINION EDITORIAL Step 1: Decide when to submit an Opinion Editorial. An opinion editorial is longer than a Letter to the Editor and is not usually linked to a particular article. It functions as a stand alone article (like journalists write). They usually highlight an issue, analyze the parts, and present a solution. Newspapers are looking for pieces that make arguments that are not made by one of the publications' journalists or columnists. Make sure your writing is clear and organized, timely, and newsworthy. Step 2: Check the op-ed regulations of the publication and write your op-ed. Some publications ask that pieces contain fewer than 800 words. Write using your own voice – don't use the style you see journalists use. Again, move quickly because news changes quickly. If there are relevant articles about food issues, it might be a good time to submit your piece. SAMPLE OP-ED Join the nationwide celebration of all things food on October 24, 2011. Food Day seeks to bring together all aspects of food from sustainable agriculture, to nutrition and health, to access and affordability. Food Day is more than just another day. Behind the whimsy and deliciousity is a smart, timely grassroots campaign to raise awareness and find solutions to problems inherent in our food system. Food Day was founded on six national priorities: reduce diet-related disease by promoting healthy foods, support sustainable farms & cut subsidies to big agribusiness, expand access to food and alleviate hunger, protect the environment & animals by reforming factory farms, promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids, and obtain fair wages for all workers in the food system. When 63 percent of Americans are obese or overweight, 25.8 million of them children, and diet related diseases like diabetes and heart disease are skyrocketing, it's hard to ignore the problem. Diet related health is the most visible, and talked, about problem but there is a lot more to food than meets the eye. Food Day draws attention to: food deserts (areas where fresh, healthy, affordable foods are scarce), the wages of workers in the food system, the consequences of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), the importance of sustainable agriculture, and the type of food-messages targeted at our children. Sponsored by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food Day is backed by some of the most inspirational voices in our movement such as Michael Pollan, Marion Nestle, and Will Allen. More than 50 organizations--including Slow Food USA, the Sierra Club, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition , and the National Farmers Market Coalition--are gearing up make a difference. People will celebrate by hosting dinners, farm tours, debates, movie screenings, and much more.

Two Way Ruffle Scarf
buy it now or visit pattern website
This romantic scarf, devised for the 2010 LYS Tour, was inspired by a clever piece our friend Candace brought home from Italy. Each one-skein scarf can be knit in simple stockinette or easy eyelet lace, then worn on its own tied in a variety of ways, or layered one inside the other for double ruffle drama. Go for high contrast or soft, subtle shades. Oh, the possibilities!
This scarf is worked from a provisional cast-on to one ruffled end. Then the cast-on is removed, stitches are picked up, and the second ruffle is worked in the other direction. This creates identically increased ruffles at both ends.
1 skein Rowan Kidsilk Haze (229 yds/210m) for each scarf. Or 229 yds/210m of an equivalent lace-weight mohair yarn for each scarf.
US 9 (5.5mm) 12-16"/30-40cm circular needles, or size to get gauge.
US J (6mm) crochet hook for provisional cast-on.
Stockinette stitch: approx. 17 sts = 4"/10cm.
Eyelet lace: approx. 15 sts = 4"/10cm.
Stockinette: approx. 51⁄2"/14cm across x 34"/86cm long.

For some unknown reason, racist has become the worst thing to you can call someone in today's society. If it came down to being called fat, stupid or racist, most people would choose fat and/or stupid, and that amazes me.
As long as no dangerous minorities are around, racism is almost always hilarious.
It used to be you had to actually hate other races to be considered racist, but not anymore. Now, if you fail to regurgitate the appropriate left-wing drivel with enough faith, you can get labeled with the term.
The latest sacrificial victim is fat Southern chef Paula Deen. Supposedly she said a non-pc term thirty years ago after getting robbed at gunpoint by a black guy, but the loony left is surprisingly intolerant when thought-crimes are committed.
We're getting to the point where the term racist has no degrees. If you make a black joke or hunt Guatemalans for sport on a private game reserve, you're still a racist. That's why I think it actually makes sense to be as racist as you can be.
People get into trouble because everyone is always trying to be more politically correct than the next guy, but it's a no-win situation. It's like a religion now, and no matter how hard you try, there will always be some holier-than-thou prick accusing you of racial blasphemy.

The context was a large organisation where three separate subgroups interact regularly to service all stakeholders in relation to one area of the business. There was at times tension between the goals of the different parties and mistrust between them based on past experiences of working together.
Initially, we worked with the three teams separately to identify what was helping and what was getting in the way of working together. We drew a map of the system and the different Roles, Goals and Contexts of the three parties. This helped clarify they lacked a common goal.
We used the System for Analysing Verbal Interaction (SAVI™) grid and the Systems-Centered® map of Phases of Team Development to highlight the teams' verbal behaviours of blaming, complaining and personalising. As an alternative to these, we worked with the teams on three Away-Days to identify common goals and to clarify their respective roles when they came together to work on joint projects. The outcome was clarification and agreement at a senior level of the joint and separate goals, much higher levels of trust and cooperation, better forward planning and problem-solving.
Following the work with the three parties, one of the teams asked us to help them work more effectively together. As a result, their team meetings have become places where they are able to share information and team members are participating more actively with a rotating leadership and agreed agenda.
We were also asked by two of their leaders to gather feedback on their behaviours that were helping and getting in the way of leading effectively. Both leaders made significant shifts and are now contributing to more collaborative working across the organisation.

when every one has to throw off his mask?

I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others
that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

Our counselors are available to you 24/7 to answer any questions you have and help you find the the treatment program that fits your needs.
All calls completely confidential.1-866-845-3140
If someone is going in and out of treatment programs, and relapsing regularly, it isn't that they are a lost cause. However, it does mean that there is something wrong with the treatment choice they keep failing at. In many instances, these failures to remain abstinent occur because an individual isn't staying in treatment of sufficient length nor are they addressing the specific reasons behind addiction. By way of example, if someone is just receiving detox services or short-term treatment, there are probably things within their immediate environment back at home that are being left unresolved which means a sure relapse once they return. Having the capacity to identify and handle these kinds of drug triggers normally takes a large amount of time, and it takes being out of that particular environment to be able to have clarity about what they are and rid them from one's life. Long-term inpatient and residential drug and alcohol rehab centers in Sabattus, ME. are often not the first choice when one is looking for rehab given that they demand a more significant commitment. They are however an individual's best opportunity in Sabattus, Maine at being able to get off drugs once and for all, particularly if the facility provides a treatment plan that totally addresses every aspect of the person's life which may be prompting their substance abuse.
If someone you care about is being affected by drug use and won't get help, or has given up on help as a consequence of past failures, consult with a quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation program yo get an intervention in the works. An intervention can help where other efforts have failed if conducted correctly, so that the individual is able to see what he stands to lose if they don't receive treatment and what he stands to gain if he does. So consult with a drug rehabilitation counselor in Sabattus today to get an intervention started if it is the best step.

Going green is in, and so is saving some green. When it comes to the rules of the road, people want to cut corners when it comes to gas. If you cannot afford the hybrids or new energy-saving cars, there is still hope with other means of saving a few dollars on gas.
There are ways to avoid as many trips to the gas pump just by adjusting your driving routine. The trick is all behind the wheel. Instead of fueling your gas tank, you can start fueling your bank account. Looking for the best mileage on your vehicle is wise during this severe recession. Here are ten failproof guidelines that can help frequent drivers get the most for their dollar.
1. Shifting your car into neutral when you are just gliding down, turning corners or accelerating down a hill. Your car works less and you save gas.
2. Driving fast and halting to a stop wastes more gas than if you were to take it easy on the road. Slow down and experience life going the speed limit.
3. Don't carry too much in your car. Unnecessary weight will cause your car to use up more fuel. Take out that extra junk in the trunk. You'll benefit from the cleanliness and MPG.
4. Inspect your tire pressure. If your tires are looking low, pump them up again. Low tires result in more rolling resistances causing more fuel burning to keep your car going. A monthly check up should do the trick.
5. Drive with the windows down. Switching off the air conditioner for a short drive and rolling down a window for a breeze will feel better and save gas. But avoid fast winded drives because it will do the reverse with the air resistance your car will be fighting against.
6. Ease on the acceleration pedal when taking off. Speeding up right away also uses up unnecessary fuel.
7. Purchase your gas early or late in the day. Due to the coolness in the air, the gasoline is more dense meaning you will get more for your dollar.
8. Get your vehicle checked often. Having a clean filter lets air reach the engine for a smoother run.
9. Do not be an aggressive driver. Anger tends to take over your gas pedal when a neighboring vehicle cuts you off. Relax. Driving at a moderate pace will not waste your fuel.
10. And lastly the best tip would be to carpool. Not taking your car out on the road as often is the best fuel-efficient habit to adopt. Find ways to taxi it up with friends, co-workers and family. Car rides will be more enjoyable and you will see a difference in your pocketbook.
See how these little adjustments work for your daily routine behind the wheel. Chances are those few dollars towards gasoline you are saving will show significantly and you can buy yourself something nice instead.

MacArthur's Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing down.Someone left the cake out in the rain.I don't think that I can take it.'Cause it took so long to make it.And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no! –MacArthur Park (lyrics by Jimmy Webb)
I know that when Richard Harris recorded the song MacArthur Park, he was singing metaphorically about the end of a relationship, not about baking a cake. Back in the 1970s, when people owned record players (and even 8-track tapes) , my parents used to play the Irish actor's recording of the song humorist Dave Barry deemed the Worst Ever Written. It was always a puzzle for me trying to figure out why anyone would be so upset about a cake with green icing. Who eats a cake with green icing anyway? Maybe Jimmy Webb's metaphor was ill-chosen, but the lyrics resonate on a literal level with anyone who has ever spent time baking only to discover that his/her end product is not what he/she had envisioned.And let's be honest, that's everybody who has ever baked, from novice up through the professional ranks.
The line has already been drawn in the sand between the culinary and the baking and pastry worlds. Invariably, when someone finds out that I am pursuing baking and pastry arts, the response incorporates some combination of the words "precise," "exact," and "detail-oriented. " In other words, baking and pastry folks are anal-retentive, perfectionist control freaks. Much like lawyers. (Hmm…does that mean I am doomed?) And maybe it is true.
I know that in my case, that there are times when I tell myself (always in the voice of John Cusack/Lloyd Dobler), "you must chill."
For this reason, when the cake doesn't rise or the pie dough overbrowns, we are all very hard on ourselves.
This season's Top Chef Just Desserts is illustrative.Remember Malika during the wedding cake challenge? She already had the nerve-racking task of designing and executing a wedding cake for Sylvia Weinstock, one of the most celebrated cake designers in America. And when her cake began to disintegrate, she wept bitter tears. I almost wept bitter tears for her. She was mortified by the prospect of having to present a less-than-perfect product to the guru of wedding cakes. When Sylvia Weinstock pronounced her verdict for that episode's Quick Fire challenge, however, she said something very wise. She told Malika to remember that no one died, and that it was " just a cake." If Sylvia Weinstock says it is just a cake, you gotta wonder.
These musings are occasioned by some recent experiences I have had since I started my professional studies in baking and pastry this fall. Yes, I had achieved less than perfect results on a number of occasions in my own kitchen, but I think it is a harder pill to swallow when things don't go as you planned in school. First, you have several witnesses to your misadventures, many of whom offer their uninvited commentary.
Second, we learn so much in just a single day of our 9-day lab rotations that sometimes it is hard to process all the information and techniques. Third, I don't have my cheerleader husband at school to put a good face on everything and to tell me that I am wonderful anyway.
I stayed after lab one day when I was particularly frustrated with my cake decorating deficiencies. Chef helped me put things in perspective by showing me a photograph of the first professional cake he decorated. While it is true that I would be happy at this point to achieve his results, he proceeded to point out the unevenness of the writing on the face of his cake and streaks where the frosting was not perfectly smooth. Also, as someone who, like me, had a previous career (he is a CPA turned pastry chef), he told me that there is more than one way to be successful in the industry.
It is funny how even 24 hours can give you valuable perspective. It also amazing how when you really love something, you can reach the highest highs, but also hit the lowest lows. Yesterday, I was very upset with myself after attempting a recipe for Pear-Cardamom Pie with Almond Crust from the recent Bon Appétit Desserts volume. The cookbook was a belated birthday present that I had purchased using a gift certificate from my in-laws (thanks D and H). I had been saving it for just the right occasion and then I saw it. . . this glossy, beautiful, beckoning siren of a dessert book. I had to have it.
Naturally, when I chose the first recipe to test out of the almost 700-page volume, I chose something with almond paste, because I love almonds, almond paste, marzipan, and amaretto as much as I love chocolate. I also chose the recipe because cardamom is one of the spices that I am trying to come to terms with when used on the sweet as opposed to savory side of the kitchen. It is a difficult taste to describe, and one of those spices that can only be used sparingly, lest it overtake everything in its path.
I started off on the right foot, and the pie looked like this when it went into the oven:
But today was one of those days. I could not read and follow simple directions. The recipes cautions clearly: "Brush top of crust (not edge) with egg glaze." And what did I do? Brush the whole pie crust, including the edge, with egg. I thought I could salvage the edge by shielding it with aluminum once I saw that it was browning very rapidly and way before the rest of the pie. But it could not be helped. In the end, the pie looked a little sun-burned on the edge when it came out of the oven:
Yes, it was Christmas day, but I hadn't intended for the little pie leaves I had so painstakingly cut out and veined with my pairing knife to look like "chestnuts roasting on an open fire."
I ended up beating myself up about it, but then I watched a couple of movies (True Grit and Going the Distance) and had a good night's sleep. I woke up the day after, ready to blog about my failings, laugh at my mistakes, and begin a new day in the kitchen.

phaSt wednesdays.
So we have our regular Phat Wednesday series here in Whistler which is meant to be on a progression of trails, the goal being to ease people into racing who may have never done it before. B-Line is a pretty basic trail for someone to race on when they are just starting out (although we go nuts over it, ha!). Anyway, racing on the easy trails is fun but there is nothing like racing on gnar. Since Phat Wednesdays are all about progression we usually don't race anything technical to well into the summer. So, in addition to the regular Phat Wednesdays, we now have PhaSt Wednesdays in the mix...PhaSt Wednesdays are all about the gnar and last night was the first ever PhaSt Wednesday! Schleyer to Canadian Open to Detroit Rock! Can I get a hell yah...such a sick trail combo. Mr. Tyler Morland smoked the boys by like 4 seconds. Kenny Smith was 2nd. Elliot (not sure his last name) was 3rd. Paul "Paulito" Stevens was 4th and Amado Stachenfeld was 5th. There was 80+ guys.
Obviously I started the day on a mission to win but that didn't quite work out. Oh well. I had a pretty conservative run as I felt good on the course and didn't feel the need to push it with some big races coming up. Anyway, I caught 2 people and went over the handlebars and was only 1.02 sec off the win. I have no idea what happened in my crash I wasn't pinned or anything but something just caught me and before I knew it I was on my face with my bike on top of me. When I tried to get up, I fell off this wooden ledge supporting the trail and down the bank. Kinda funny actually. I would have laughed if I saw it. If I knew I was only a second off I would not have dilly-dallyed after my crash and I would have pinned it. Lesson learned. It's not over till it's over. I think that is definitely a valuable lesson to learn especially before I head out to National Champs and the World Cups! I mean 2nd sucks but I think that I learned a good lesson last night so I am pretty excited on that.
I have the day off today so I am going to go shred with the boys. It is a gorgeous day....Garbo here I come!
The Question (the local newspaper) contacted me last week after B-Line and they wrote up an article about the first Phat Wednseday of the year. Check it out.... http://www.whistlerquestion.com/article/20090701/WHISTLER02/307019842/-1/WHISTLER9901/phat-wednesdays-back-in-business

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond was "angry" to discover the superstar was not at home when their eldest son almost drowned in his swimming pool last week, but insists she does not "blame" him for the accident.
The former couple's 5-year-old child, Usher Raymond V, ended up in a hospital intensive care unit in Atlanta, Georgia after getting his arm stuck in a pool drain while trying to retrieve a toy.
The incident prompted a new fight for custody as Raymond objected to Usher, who has primary custody, leaving their kids with his aunt, Rena Oden, instead of giving her the chance to step in to take care of them.
A Georgia judge dismissed Raymond's bid for custody during an emergency court hearing on Friday, and now she has spoken out about the whole ordeal in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America."
During the talk, which aired on Wednesday, Raymond admitted she knew something was wrong as soon as she received the phone call from her ex, and it brought back memories of her 11-year-old son Kile's death last summer following a tragic jet ski accident.
Recalling the moment she was alerted to little Usher's hospitalization, she explained, "I said, 'I've had this call before.'"
Raymond revealed she was "angry" about the pool mishap because the star was nowhere near the boys when it happened, but she added, "I didn't blame him (Usher) for it. I was just angry that it happened on his watch. Never have my children been injured on my watch."
Raymond, aka Tameka Foster, went on to insist that she does not hate Usher, but will continue her custody fight to expand her limited parental rights.
She said, "I would like to have my first right of refusal, which means when he is not present, the kids come home to their mom."
Their eldest son has since recovered from the incident and been discharged from hospital.
