How much of the increased business iu American products abroad 1.1 due to the war? Officials of the Wilson Adminlstratlo* maintain that comparatively Ilttle of the great Increase In exports is due to war orders and that the country's present prosperity Is not based on temporary conditions. Export figures for 19 14 and ISI 5 are now available and a study of them will help every reader to reach an Intelligent conclusion as to whether our present volume of business Is due to war orders or not. The following table based on the flgures In the monthly summary of foreign commerce shows an Increase of exports due solely to the European war of $785,014,062. The figures are for the flscal years ending June 30, 1914, and 1915: 1914. . .$.'),80.3,659 165,302,385 26,574.574 27,079,092 C.272.197 57.566,261 146.227,780 7,839,151 7.472.476 10,767,448 827,205 3.142,297 08.835 Aiiimal.s BreadstuffH Automobiles Chemicals Kxplosives Shoes, horses and saddles Meat and dairy products . .

The shipment of explosives increased from $7,000,000 in 1914 to $135,000,000 in 1915, horses and mules from $10,000,000 to $110,000,000, flrearm.s from $4,- 000,000 lo $11,000,000 and so on. showing that, with the continuance of the war and tbo inability of the European nations engaged in the struggle to supply the enormous requirements In the way of food, clothing, equip¬ ment and ammunition, there have come increasing demands for American products. In the face of these flgures 11 is idle for anyone to deny that the great bulk of the Increased business In this country Is directly due to the Euro¬ pean war. When the war is over this enormous export business is going to shrink. No one Is in position to guarantee that it will stop shrinking when :l gets down to the 1914 basis, and in 1914, before the outbreak of the war. this country was facing an Industrial crisis. Commercially and Induetrlally this country i.s totally unprepared— under the Underwood-Simmons free trade tariff law —to face the condition.^ that are certain to follow the cessation of ho.<!tilltles abroad. No time should be lost In putting the country In a state of pre¬ paredness. SEAFORDJENTION NEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST IN GROWING VILLAOE.

Pebbled Bowls
Pebbled salad bowls are a chef's love when presenting a salad portion to their guest. The glass complexion of these pebbled salad bowls may capture the radiant colors that enhance a salads beauty and charm, but the pebbled texture captures the movement of the dressing. The ability of the pebbled salad bowl to capture the eye of an audience is undisputable and will be a great success in the chef's presentation of any restaurant's cuisine.

Lokuge, Weena and Aravinthan, Thiru and Sirimanna, Chamila Sampath and Islam, Mainul (2011) Influence of fly ash proportions on properties of polymer cconcrete with polyester resin. In: Concrete 2011: Building a Sustainable Future, 12-14 Oct 2011, Perth, Western Australia.
It is reported in the past that concrete is not a suitable material to be confined by glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP). If GFRP jackets are used in timber pile rehabilitation then a new filler material development is necessary. As a result, this research investigates the structural properties of new polymer based concrete with different proportions of resin, sand and fly ash. This research aims at rehabilitating a portion of a pile by using a GFRP pile. Due to good compressive strength, pumpability and workability, the new polymer based filler material is to be filled in between GFRP pile and existing pile. A research program has been initiated to improve fundamental understanding of this material and to provide the knowledge required for its broad utilization. In this development, sample trial mixes were considered based on several weight percentages of polymer resin, fly ash and sand. These weight percentages were selected after analyzing volumetric properties of sand. This paper presents and discusses the results from an investigation of uniaxial compressive stress-strain relationship of polymer based concrete. The effect of resin (binder), sand and fly ash contents on the compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, density, linear shrinkage and gel time of polyester polymer filler is reported. It has been found that most polymer based filler materials have high compressive strength and considerable plastic region extending more than 8% strain. The results show that the polymer based filler materials are suitable for both compression and tensile loading situations.

Paul Rider Photography
[ theater ]
In 2006, lawyers working on a class-action suit against two U.S. defense contractors — CACI and Titan — interviewed an Iraqi citizen named Abdulwahab.
His testimony was roughly as follows:
He traveled from his village to Baghdad to buy a car. American forces raided the hotel he was staying in. He was restrained with plastic handcuffs, hooded and taken to one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces. He was told he was in al-Qaida. He didn't know what al-Qaida was or what it meant. He was stripped naked and interrogated. He was taken to another location and forced to run on his knees and knuckles for 10 days, not sleeping more than 20 minutes at a time.
Then he was sent to Abu Ghraib, and things got worse.
His story is buried under thousands of pages of testimony from more than 300 plaintiffs in Haidar Muhsin Saleh v. Titan Corporation — a case now awaiting review by the Supreme Court. And it would have likely stayed there, except that one of the note-takers at his interview in Istanbul was a yoga instructor and former Equity actress from Philadelphia.
After years of performing in regional theater — and burning out on it — Jennifer Schelter started a yoga studio in East Falls. She thought her stage career was long behind her.
About five years ago, she was approached by one of her students after class. "She said she had just gotten back from listening to torture testimony," explains Schelter. "She wanted me to come with her, but she didn't know why exactly. She said she thought these people needed healing, and I could help. She said, 'Maybe you could do yoga with them or maybe just your presence would be healing.'"
The student was Susan Burke, lead prosecuting attorney on Saleh v. Titan.
Schelter began writing Love Lessons from Abu Ghraib in compulsive bursts, shortly after returning home from Istanbul.
"I had reverse culture shock. No one cares about this, and everyone wants to be happy," says Schelter. "Christmas Day, I sat down and wrote as many stories as I could remember. Because the level of forgiveness in these men was beyond anything I had ever witnessed."
Love Lessons is a one-woman show based on Abdulwahab's testimony. But it's also very much about Schelter's attempt to cling to the virtues of her yoga training in the face of breathtaking inhumanity.
The play debuted at the 2007 Philly Fringe with four chairs, a stage and a budget of about $300. An InterAct Theatre Co. board member fell for it, and gave a DVD copy of the show to artistic director Seth Rozin. He fell for it, too: Love Lessons opens Saturday at InterAct.
In a basement rehearsal space on Sansom Street, Schelter slumps down into a chair facing an imaginary audience.
Her posture suddenly transforms into a distinctively male presence — slouched, but forward and direct. Her voice is not only deeper, but it seems to have a musical cadence, too: "My name is Abdulwahab. I am 33 years old. I am from a small village. I gained about 20 kilos since leaving Abu Ghraib. I was born in Iran. I am Sunni, Muslim."
Later, Schelter sits more comfortably at the lip of the tiny stage: "I mean, think about it, in their mind they have every right to think that the United States must be full of fucking assholes," she says. "I was attempting to be a compassionate witness while I was there. ... And, you know, I didn't even get to do any yoga with former detainees. There just wasn't the opportunity. But at least I think they got the sense from me that not all Westerners would do this again. I'm thankful for that."
Love Lessons from Abu Ghraib runs Jan. 29-Feb. 13, $25, InterAct Theatre at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St., 215-568-8079, interacttheatre.org.

Welsh Terrier Embroidered Cushions
These are the latest hand embroidered cushions I've sewn. I should have posted them before now, but when you design, make and do everything yourself, there really isn't enough time in the day! The sitting Welsh Terrier is a new design, and I'm quite pleased with the way it's turned out. It's so typical of the way Edwyn sits, and a lot of other terriers too judging by the comments I've had!
I don't list these on Etsy as I only make a few as when I can fit them in with all the other making I do….. They're £80 each for existing designs, more can be seen here. I shall try make a few more of the sitting terriers while the days are long and the light is good. If you want to know more email email@example.com
The Jack Russell Terrier Joins the Pack
This is our new Jack Russell linocut print.
Too long on our to do list I finally got around to finishing the artwork for the face and then carving it out ready to make in to a block for printing.
I spent a long time studying the faces of friends JRT's on Flickr and Instagram and could easily do a version two with the distinctive pricked up ears, but for now this is the one I have gone with.
So now when I get asked if I have Jack Russell's I can say yes!

Handwarmer Hot Water Bottle
Feeling the cold? Arctic winds are howling through East london, and some parts of the country are once more covered in snow so we thought it our duty to get our new handwarmer hot water bottles into the shop.
They are made from wonderfully cosy fleece and have a front pocket, very useful for warming up cold keyboard hands I find! Or for that added bit of warmth cosied up on the sofa, if like us you don't have the luxury of an open fire. Some also like to use hot water bottles for puppies and elderly dogs, especially those in draughty corners, wrapped in a blanket these would be ideal for non-chewers! But I suspect you will want to keep it for yourself. I'll certainly be taking mine to Spitalfields with me on Friday, along with a selection for sale on my stall. Now I wonder where I can beg some hot water from……..
Hand Warmer Hotties available in my EdwynUK Etsy shop.
Edwyn's Birthday Biscuits
Yesterday was Edwyn's birthday so I thought I'd treat the boy to some homemade biscuits. I'd wanted to try out some of the recipes from the brilliant Lily's kitchen book Dinner for Dogs but hadn't got all the healthy ingredients ie black strap mollasses and spelt flour – I shall soon and will report back…. However I am a terrible recipe fiddler I can never quite stick to them, in this instance I looked at what I had in the cupboard and googled peanut butter and carrot and then fiddled with this recipe. I've written down the my adaptation as follows:
Don't feel you have to stick to the recipe. You could use sweet potato instead of carrot and perhaps then you wouldn't need apple. Some of you may have already sampled these at my Spitalfields stall as I'd made some to give visitors before Christmas, so if your dog enjoyed them have a go, they will love you for it!
Happy Birthday Edwyn Bear!
Snow & Something to Keep You Warm…….
If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook you will have seen a never ending stream on Edwyn in the snow photo's! It's now almost all gone now, except on the large expanse of the marshes and playing fields. I don't know about you but I've loved seeing photo's of all the dogs out enjoying the snow and certainly enjoyed our trek with a welcome stop off at the Princess of Wales dog friendly pub(bottom right photo). There was a queue at the door waiting to get in a 12 noon!!
We've had a bit of break from Spitalfields but will be back next week friday 1st February. In the meantime we've been testing some hand warming hot water bottle covers for you – something that has been on our do do list for a vey long time – but the cold snap served as a great motivator to finally get from paper to product! I will have those on the stall next Friday, and hope to have them listed soon in our EdwynUK Etsy shop.
So if you like us have had lots of lovely snow and have pictures of your dog enjoying themselves in it then do share them on our EdwynUK Facebook page. We've been terrible at promoting our neckerchief competition so all photo's will be entered for that (we need more entires please!)
Merry Christmas from EdwynUK
I just wanted to wish everyone, particularly our fabulous EdwynUK customers, a very Merry Christmas!
I am so behind with my own Christmas preparations I have had to enlist the help of Cartolina Cards to send you our Christmas message. If like me you have missed sending Christmas cards then download her fantastic app and you'll be able to send some very beautiful Christmas and holiday greetings and perhaps feel a little less guilty!
For those of you who have got some time off over Christmas – enjoy! We'll be heading to the Lincolnshire Wolds to enjoy a Christmas with family, if you use Instagram then follow us for some festive posts! And those of you working….well I hope your work is sprinkled with festive spirit!

Look of the Week: Men's Essentials for the Treasure Island Music Festival
Treasure Island Music Festival tickets safely tucked away in wallet? Check.
Spotifying this weekend's lineup all day? Check.
Excitement? Check.
The preparation starts there, and ends here, with seven essentials to get you through the upcoming two days of music madness.
1. Kiehl's Activated Sun Protector SPF 50, $23
The island's forecast is promising, but even if it's a little overcast out, you'll still need that sunscreen -- this one's top-rated and not greasy.
2. Rickshaw Bagworks Velo-Edition Backpack, $149-$169
Check the festival's rules for what you can and can't bring. Toss your necessities in this low-profile, bike-friendly pack and you'll be good to go. P.S. Did we mention there's Bike Valet, plus a free shuttle ride to Treasure Island?
3. Mophie Juice Pack Reserve External Battery, $34.95
Let's face it, with all of your snapshots and Facebook updates, your phone's battery doesn't stand a chance. Recharge with this handy dandy device.
4. Adidas AR-D1 Low-top Leather Sneakers, $75
Sneakers are a must for comfort and smooth leather is your best bet for the inevitable beer and Sriracha spillage.
5. Patagonia Nano Puff Vest, $149
Layer up against the Bay breeze and chilly nights with this ultra-lightweight, packable shell.
6. SF Giants Fleece Throw Blanket, $24.99
If you're going to kick back and lounge, you might as well do it while showing some Giants pride. Let's hear it for our boys.
7. Benny Gold Truck Label Snapback Baseball Cap, $22.40
We like multi-purpose things. Baseball caps are great for keeping your cool during the day, staying warm at night, and for covering up your too-hungover-to-shower festival day-two hair.

Hi guys -
Updated the list above with what I had to work with.
I think we're doing pretty good. However, I should have mentioned that
if anyone here that has expressed interest wants on a specific run, without being listed in order, you will need to not only edit your post with what version you would like, but also with or without knees, trimmed or untrimmed, and approx which month you would like to be included. This will be much easier for me updating these lists. Again, I URGE you ALL to select the untrimmed discount !
All wings report in !!
To answer the knees addition question, it is an xtra $35.
Thanks everyone !

Full description for The German Genius
From the end of the Baroque era and the death of Bach to the rise of Hitler, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among Western nations into a dominant intellectual and cultural force. By 1933, Germans had won more Nobel Prizes than the British and Americans combined. Yet this remarkable genius was cut down in its prime by Adolf Hitler and his disastrous Third Reich--a brutal legacy that has overshadowed the nation's achievements ever since.In this absorbing cultural and intellectual history, Peter Watson goes back through time to explore the origins of the German genius, explaining how and why it flourished, how it shaped our lives, and, most important, how it continues to influence our world. Watson's virtuoso sweep through modern German thought and culture will challenge and confound both the stereotypes the world has of Germany and those that Germany has of itself.

Clicquot's Big Ladies
Fancy a bottle of White Horse House? How about The Pine, then? Or Big Mountain Fair House?
There's no question that they sound far more appealing in their native French - to anglophones, at least. There is a swirling romance to the language that seems so leaden and utilitarian in translation.
So it is with Veuve Clicquot's Big Lady, the 2004 vintage of which was launched this month. There have been a spate of prestige cuvée launches in the last twelvemonth: Dom Pérignon 2003, Cristal 2005 and now Grande Dame.

Posted: 27 November 2013 2013 Auburn Armistice/Veterans Day Report More than thirty members of Veterans For Peace from the Greater Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and North Olympic Peninsula chapters marched on November 9th in near-perfect weather in the City of Auburn's annual Veterans Day parade. This was VFP's eighth consecutive appearance in the parade and we're proud and pleased to have been able to, once again, add our clear, singular pro-peace voice to the messages conveyed by the other parade entries. For the third year in a row we also had a booth in Auburn, staffed by two VFP 92 members. After the parade, we were pleasantly surprised to be joined on the steps of the Auburn city hall by Victoria Knight, Miss Auburn 2013, who posed with us for photos. After the parade, about thirty of us enjoyed lunch and good company in Auburn at the first annual VFP Armistice Day spaghetti lunch. We were joined there by Ray McGovern, co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. Ray had hoped to march with us but his flight was delayed--maybe next year, Ray. We're grateful again this year to the members, vestry, and rector of St. Matthew/San Mateo Episcopal Church for their hospitality in providing us with parking, bathrooms, hot coffee, and donuts. The church also provided the location for our lunch. Veterans For Peace march down Main Street in Auburn, WA

However, the recent reversals of UK Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama on their march to war with Syria give us some hope that the congressional vote next week on Obama's plan to attack Syria is one of those rare moments when it may be useful to contact elected officials. For example, some local members of Congress are on the fence. Democrat Suzan DelBene issued a statement on Saturday that says, in part: "I oppose the Bashar al-Assad regime, but I am concerned about the U.S. getting into another long-term military operation without clearly defined objectives. As I stated previously, any military action in Syria must be done with careful consultation with Congress and the American people. I will be listening to my constituents, the President, my colleagues and our military leadership in the coming days in preparation for this important vote." Other members of Congress may be similarly undecided on the matter of war with Syria. Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Greater Seattle chapter of Veterans For Peace is urging all VFP members to contact the members of their congressional delegation to make it clear that we oppose US intervention in Syria and we want the US military to refrain from attacking Syrian targets. Posted: 19 July 2013 International Day of Action for Bradley Manning Please join us in what will likely be the last internationally coordinated show of support for US Army whistleblower Private Bradley Manning before military judge Col. Denise Lind reads her final verdict–which we expect some time in August. On July 26, there will be a rally for Bradley Manning in Washington, DC in front of Maj. General Buchanan's office. Buchanan is the new convening authority in the trial and he has the power to reduce any possible sentence given to Bradley should he be found guilty. The July 27 "International Day of Action" coincides with the anticipated sentencing phase of Bradley's trial. The outcome of that phase of the trial will result in Bradley receiving any outcome from time served to life in prison. A thousand supporters marched on Fort Meade at the start of Bradley Manning's trial. Now the Bradley Manning Support Network is asking supporters to organize events in communities across the globe. The end of July also marks the third anniversary of the release of the Afghan War Diary which revealed the realities of pain and abuse suffered by many thousands in Afghanistan. Posted: 24 June 2013 July 4th Action & Two Action Reports Independence Day Action Last year eight people participated in VFP 92's first July 4th action at Pier 62/63 Park. We distributed all 400 of our James Madison war-versus-liberty cards in less than the allotted time for the action and VFP flags were displayed along with three of the Washington Veterans Against the War peace flags. Please join us for another successful repeat action this year. March for Bradley Manning in the 2013 Pride Parade VFP 92 is in the Seattle Pride Parade again. We'll be marching in support of US Army whistle-blower Bradley Manning. Bring posters, t-shirts, whistles, and other items proclaiming your support for Bradley. The parade starts at 11 AM at 4th Avenue & Union streets and will proceed north-northwest on 4th Avenue to 2nd and Denny Way near Seattle Center. VFP 92's entry number is L3 and our staging location is between Sqream and the Rainbow City Band and alongside Old Scouts Promise. The parade will be held rain or shine. Plan for the morning by wearing a good pair of walking shoes and bringing a hat, water, sunscreen, and/or rain gear as needed. It should take about an hour to travel the distance. VFP 92 is six blocks closer to the finish line than last year so the parade will be markedly shorter for us this time.

Posted: 22 May 2013 Bradley Manning, USS Liberty, & Mohammad Mossadegh Bradley Manning Support March Bradley Manning's court-martial trial begins June 3rd. Saturday is an International Day of Support for Bradley Manning. Join us for a spirited march through downtown ending at Victor Steinbrueck Park. VFP 92 Remembers the USS Liberty This year is the 46th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, which was commissioned in Bremerton in 1964. Veterans For Peace will travel to Bremerton to remember the dead, honor the survivors, and educate the public about the attack and US foreign policy. We'll be displaying a banner and distributing copies of the "Commonly Asked Questions About the USS Liberty" brochure. Be sure to wear your VFP hats, shirts, vests, etc. The round trip walk-on passenger fare for the Seattle-Bremerton ferry is $7.70 for adults (age 19 - 64) and $3.85 for Senior (age 65 & over)/Disabled. Mossadegh Legacy Awareness Tour event Moji Agha is the founder of the Mossadegh Legacy Institute (MLI), a new non-profit foreign policy organization inspired by the legacy of the late Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. Mr. Agha will speak on the MLI's work promoting the virtues and values of Dr. Mossadegh, who was trained in the law at the École Libre des Sciences Politiques in Paris and the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Mossadegh was first elected to the Iranian Majlis/Parliament in 1944 and elected by the Majlis as Prime Minister in 1951. In 1953, after nationalizing Iran's oil industry, Mossadegh was ousted in a coup d'etat orchestrated and carried out by the American CIA with the cooperation of British MI6. The MLI is endorsed by Richard Falk, Noam Chomsky, David Swanson, Cindy Sheehan, Tariq Ali, and others. Free validated parking for this event is available in the University Book Store lot. Download the event poster. Posted: 03 June 2013 Blow the Whistle on War Profiteers at the Seattle Science Festival This is a joint action by Greater Seattle Veterans For Peace and the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action to protest the presence, in the Seattle Science Festival's Science EXPO, of two giants in the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned about. Boeing and Lockheed-Martin, two of the world's largest military contractors, are exhibitors in the EXPO this year. Boeing is, among other things, a major supplier of drones to the US military. Lockheed-Martin is the manufacturer of the US Navy's Trident ll D-5 submarine launched ballistic missiles, the delivery vehicles for the massively destructive W76 and W88 thermonuclear bombs. Posted: 11 May 2013 May General Membership Meeting & Armed Forces Day Action Our educational topic this month is veteran suicide. After the meeting we'll go to Pier 62/63 Park (1951 Alaskan Way) on the Seattle waterfront to distribute copies of the chapter's Armed Forces Day cards. Westlake Plaza is our backup location in case of bad weather. Posted: 11 May 2013 Report: Boston Marathon Bombing Leafleting Submitted by: Michelle J. Kinnucan On April 27, seven members of the Greater Seattle chapter of Veterans For Peace ventured into the heart of Seattle's commercial district where we distributed approximately 300 copies of the chapter's Boston Marathon Bombing/US Drone Attacks leaflet. The leaflet was generally well-received and positive reactions far out-weighed negative reactions in both intensity and frequency. This writer had three people make a point of speaking to her to compliment the leaflet and thank VFP for sharing our perspective. Posted: 16 March 2013 April General Membership Meeting Please note the date change. The day was changed from our normal third Saturday of the month due to room unavailability on the 20th. Per the vote of the chapter membership in September 2011, undesignated funds collected at the first general membership meeting of each calendar quarter go to Coffee Strong. After the meeting we'll go to Westlake Plaza to distribute copies of the chapter's Boston Marathon Bombing leaflet. The title of our education topic--"Peace: Getting Our Thinking Focused"--for this meeting is inspired, in part, by a line from A. J. Muste's classic 1928 essay, "Pacifism and Class War." The supplemental readings for the talk are listed below. It is not essential that you read any of them but the talk and discussion may be more rewarding if you do.
Posted: 27 March 2013 Two VFP 92 Endorsed Anti-Drone Actions These are excellent opportunities to educate the public, who polls show over 50% believe drone attacks are acceptable, on the dangers and problems of drone warfare. Please spread the word and plan to attend one or both of these actions.

UK REITs and stock dividends
The measure
The Government reconfirmed its intention to introduce a change to the REIT regime whereby REITs will be allowed to issue stock dividends in lieu of cash dividends in meeting the requirement for them to distribute 90% of profits from their property rental businesses each accounting period.
Who will be affected?
UK REITs
The legislation will be introduced as soon as possible after the summer recess and will have effect for property income distributions made on or after the date the relevant Finance Bill receives Royal Assent.
This is a welcome change for REITs given their desire to retain cash within their businesses. This is particularly important in an environment where new debt is difficult and expensive to come by.

The incentive already exists
The incentive already exists for students to excell- it's called College.
As a teacher, I use positive
As a teacher, I use positive behavior management; I give an intrinsic or extrinsic reward to reinforce exhibiting the correct behavior. Unfortunately, many students don't have the opportunity to see adults modeling that behavior. Instead of punishing their mistakes, I reward their success, hoping that they begin to make the correct decisions on their own.
I don't see how a monetary reward for a good academic performance is that different. If offering incentives reinforce behavior that accomplishes our goal, what's the harm? It is the way of today's world. My son attended a small non-public High School that gave a monetary reward for attendence. The population of the school wasn't known for showing up at school; if they aren't in school they can't be taught. The $ incentive reinforced their good attendance. When dealing with educating students that are at-risk, I will do anything I (legally) can to get them to learn!
Not a chance. Instead of
Not a chance. Instead of spending money on incentives, spend your money on better teaching. Don't give me this "Oh, well you aren't there." You're right, I'm not. It doesn't matter where I'm at, an iPod for passing the test? What happens when they pass? Why should they pass the next one? That's a horrible misuse of funds. If that's what your district is spending money on, then its no wonder your kids aren't passing.
From my perspective, the
From my perspective, the message has been communicated quite clearly that the higher one achieves academically, the greater the potential to be rewarded in terms of career advancement and financial independence.
What isn't communicated quite as clearly is the correlation between academic achievment, subsequent career advancement, financial independence, etc. and the potential to make a greater contribution to strengthening communities on both a local and global level.
Since $100 was the sum identified as the amount of an incentive given to a student who aces an exam, let's look at another way that $100, tied to a student's academic achievment could be utilized in such a way to make a more positive, lasting impact on not only the student and the school but the community as well.
One hundred dollars would go a long way with the organization Kiva.org, a website dedicated to helping entrepeneurs in developing countries to escape poverty by providing them no interest loans to fund businesses, projects or to cover or defray educational costs. The loans can be as low as $25, and have a 90%+ repayment rate.
I came across the profile of a woman named Diana Yonso, from Guayaquil, Ecuador who was seeking a loan of $375 to convert the lower section of her house into a more formal store in order to continue her efforts to build a business selling chicken, beef, pork and sausages. The business began six months ago when her husband gave her $80 to get started.
The loan had been partially funded by othe Kiva.org supporters and the remaining balance to complete the loan was $225. I put up the remainder of the money so that Diana would be able to get started sooner rather than later and part of the joy I felt in making that happen was knowing that I had made a direct impact on someone's life. When I completed the transaction and saw the updated loan profile which went from 30% to 100% funded, I couldn't stop smiling. I envisioned her reaction when she found out she had received the money and quite honestly, it made me feel good to have the opportunity to do something positive for someone in what I hope is a lasting and meaningful way.
Rather than present the equation: individual achievment = individual reward, why not consider individual achievement = individual reward + the ability to help other individuals achieve?
What a joke on education!
What a joke on education! If that is what it takes to be successful, obvisouly your school district has a warped sense of hard work and success.
I work in a school in the UK
I work in a school in the UK that uses that gives cash to students as an incentive to pass their GCSEs (Final exams at 16). All students are given targets for each subject. We then give them £10 for every one they hit and a further £10 for every grade above they achieve target.
Although I'm Vice Principal, I loathe the scheme. Apart from the obvious argument that it takes away the intrisic value of learning and demeans/devalues the whole school process, the students don't even think about the incentive until after the exam. I can go up to any student in the school and ask them to what extent it is influencing them in their revision and I can guarantee not one will answer in the positive. I should mention that we don't pay for this, it is a local govenment funded community initiative, which is meant to encourage young people to continue in education. "only if we're paid" cry the students!!
As early as possible in the
As early as possible in the education game students must know that they are responsible for their own learning. Once this is accomplished, rewards come through the joy of learning and learning how to learn. Monetary rewards would only be useful to a school in the case of standardized assessments to satisfy the adequate yearly progress mandates of NCLB. Why in this case? Because these tests have nothing to do with learning and are necessary only to measure proficiency levels at certain grade levels and to punish schools and districts that come up short; they do not pay an iota of attetion to the individual student. What a novel and ludicrous notion!
I teach in a 9-12 high
I teach in a 9-12 high school in south central Kansas. Most of our students are on free and reduced food programs. I would estimate that perhaps 3% of our total student population wants to learn anything and are willing to do what it takes to get there. They don't have a reason to learn. They are trying to survive, plain and simple. All the poverty-based information out there rings clear here. Perhaps if we could give them real incentives to learn, and not just time off for good grades, like enrichment programs, we'd have a chance.
The idea of the question is
The idea of the question is nonsense, the question itself begs to be asked. Students understand, because we tell them enough times, that school will have something to do with their future fortunes.
That said, when we get to intrinsic or extrinsic concepts a point is missing. We do not permit internal values to be produced in young people. We teach to an academic cause, when many of our students could care less about academics. We have stopped offering all vocational, manual and many technical arts in our schools. Then we mandate attendance at cram schools. Get it?! The idea doesn't register until we begin to ask what is important in child rearing, and what role do we want to have the school play as an adjunct to child rearing. Right now we are too many things to too many people, and now you are talking about being an allowance giver to--just amaze me edutopia.
Some incentives are okay -
Some incentives are okay - for example our school (K-6) rewards students who have at least a 70% in all subjects, have 70% of their homework turned in, and have not had behavioral problems. First quarter we had a movie party and second quarter we took them roller-skating. Neither incentive was a "big" prize but it did reward those students who were doing their job. We also don't punish students who struggle in one subject but are doing their best work. This type of incentive was already established when I came to my school. I probably wouldn't have advocated for it when it was started -but I don't mind it.
I do not agree with ipods or cash type incentives especially for passing tests. Granted it's hard to motivate many students but in a "give me world" things like wanting to pass a test has to come from a personal drive. Students have to want to pass because they know the importance of understanding the information and how it will affect their future. It takes a large group of people to instill this in students including PARENTS, all teachers (k-12), and the community. So until all these people have the same goal in mind, some/many students will still have the "Gimmes".

Hall Of Shame: The Lohan Family Mugshot Album
4 of 12
Lindsay's decision to take off to Cannes, France instead of attending her DUI progress hearing in 2010 led to her third booking photo. She was arrested when she touched down on American soil and was sentenced to 90 days behind bars for violating her probation. She served just 14 days. |
Hall Of Shame: The Lohan Family Mugshot Album
6 of 12
Lindsay's fifth mugshot was taken on October 19, 2011, after her probation was revoked because she didn't serve her community service at a women's shelter. Her bail was set at $100,000 which she paid, but not before she was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. |
Hall Of Shame: The Lohan Family Mugshot Album
7 of 12
Lindsay's sixth and most recent mugshot came on March 19, 2013. Lohan turned herself in for booking after pleading "no contest" to the charge of giving false information to a police officer and reckless driving, stemming from her PCH car crash in the summer of 2012. |

Michael was arrested on December 14, 2009, in New York for allegedly making a phone call to his ex-girlfriend, Erin Muller, which was a direct violation of the restraining order she had against him after an incident in March. Lohan was charged with criminal contempt of court. |
Hall Of Shame: The Lohan Family Mugshot Album
12 of 12
Michael was arrested on October 27, 2011 after he allegedly contacted his then-girlfriend Kate Major, who had a temporary restraining order against him after he purportedly assaulted her in the early hours of October 25. Police went to Lohan's hotel after getting Major's complaint and he jumped from a third-story balcony while trying to escape and fell into a tree. When the officers eventually got him down he was arrested for violating a condition of his pre-trial release, which is thought to be because he contacted Kate, and resisting arrest without violence. The incident comes after was let go from the Hillsborough County prison in Tampa, Florida, last night (26.10.11) after he appeared in court earlier in the day on charges of domestic battery. |

The colony on Venus was not built because the destruction of Earth was possible, but because it was inevitable…
A brilliant young scientist and one of the first humans born on Venus, Arik works tirelessly to perfect the science of artificial photosynthesis, a project crucial to the future of his home, V1. The colony was built on the harsh Venusian surface by the Founders, the first humans to establish a permanent extraterrestrial settlement. Arik's research becomes critical when he awakens from an unexplained, near-fatal accident and learns that his wife is three months pregnant. Unless Arik's research uncovers a groundbreaking discovery, V1's oxygen supply will not be able to support the increase in population that his baby represents.
As Arik works against time, he begins to untangle the threads of his accident, which seem inextricably linked to what lies outside the protective walls of V1—a world where the caustic atmosphere and extreme heat make all forms of known life impossible. For its entire existence, Arik's generation has been expected to help solve the problems of colonization. But as Arik digs deeper and deeper, he discovers alarming truths about the planet that the Founders have kept hidden. With growing urgency and increasing peril, Arik finds himself on a journey that will push him to the limits of his intelligence and take him beyond the unimaginable.
Containment is a classic hard-SF novel with carefully wrought world-building and an intriguing premise.-Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of Sisterhood of Dune
"Cantrell's debut takes a technically detailed, hard-SF look at possible planetary colonization of Venus…Cantrell has produced a thoughtful visualization of a possible future for humankind."

We have a 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin in Lost River, WV. It has Internet and heat (floor units). It is two levels with the bedrooms on the second floor. It's in the heart of gay WV and is a nice mix of local and DC weekenders. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and walk-out balcony. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed. The third bedroom has two twin-size beds. The sofa in the living room folds out to a full-size bed.
This listing is adjacent to our other listing: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/581434 . We've owned the other listing since 2005, and this listing was just finished in March 2003. This means that there's a chance our family may be using the other unit, or we may rent it out. Thus, it's best to assume you'll not be completely secluded.
We have a current Airbnb listing for our DC apartment and decided to try to rent out our WV vacation home.
The cabin has a landline (shared between the two units) but there is no cell phone reception. We have high-speed DSL Internet as well as Hulu Plus and streaming Netflix.
We're roughly 10 miles from Wardensville, WV and roughly 30 miles from Moorefield, WV. Moorefield is a good town for Walmart, lunch, and a movie theatre and bowling alley.
Very close by are two restaurants: the Lost River Grill (5 miles away) and The Guesthouse Lost River (3.8 miles away). The former is more low-key, and the latter is a bit more upper-scale.
Trout Pond Recreation Area (about 5 minutes away by car) provides a nice lake that you can walk around (and swim in during summer), a camping area, and a playground for kids.
We live in DC, but there's always the chance that we may be staying in the other unit. Or we may rent out the other unit.
SECLUSION UPGRADE: If you're interested in full seclusion, we can forego renting the other unit for an additional fee. (In other words, yes, you'd be paying us to *not* rent the other side.)
The nightly price quoted here INCLUDES 6% West Virginia Lodging Tax as well as 6% Hardy County Lodging Tax.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Kelly's WV cabin. The cabin was cozy and welcoming, the scenery was picturesque, and Kelly was great to work with. It was the perfect weekend escape from DC!
Great, newly-built cottage at a great location with an easy 2-hour drive from Washington, DC. Absolutely lovely hosts, easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I can't recommend it high enough!
The cabin really is great, it is exactly looking like in the pictures. We enjoyed our stay very much. The kitchen is well prepared and you find everything you need. Kelly was very nice and easy to communicate with. The locaton is ideal for relaxing!
Unit B was great. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/living area spacious. We loved the screened in patio area which was perfect for a WV Summer evening. Kelly was wonderful as well. The tips and tricks were super helpful. It is very clear that they want to make your stay as good as possible. All around great.
The area is so beautiful. This is my second stay at this house. Last time I stayed in side A. This time I stayed in the larger of the two sides because I wanted to take advantage of the screened in porch while working on a business project that I knew I would not finish with the distractions of the city. The trip was peaceful and serene. The cabin was beautiful. Even without air conditioning, the cabin was cool on days that proved to be the hottest in July. Kelly is great to work with and so quick to respond. I can't wait to go back, next time with a stack of novels instead of a work project.
Kelly was great. The cabin had everything we needed. At first I couldn't find coffee filters, but a text to Kelly and a quick reply back led me right to them! Even in the middle of nowhere, when you want to get away from technology, it was helpful to have it. I had never used Roku for watching TV, but after the kids went to bed, my wife and I enjoyed surfing for old TV shows and German News feeds. I think we'll be ditching our cable soon. My family and I stayed for a weekend and visited the Shenandoah Caverns. It's only a 40 minute drive, and the scenery is beautiful. We also visited Trout Pond Recreation area, which is only a 5 minute drive. The kids enjoyed the sandy beach and the large playground. While eating breakfast in the screened in porch, my daughter and I watched some deer walk through the yard. There are many more beautiful places to see out there, so I'm sure we'll be back.
Kelly worked me on short notice to arrange a weekend getaway. I stayed in Unit B, which is newly completed and very comfortable. It has all the comforts and amenities of home with nature at the doorstep. It was a pleasure working with Kelly and this Lost River property is great and in a good location.
