For Teens
Interview with Christine Fletcher
Teens from Chicago Public Schools' Hyde Park Academy and Kenwood Academy had the opportunity to submit questions to the author Christine Fletcher, which she thoughtfully answered. We wanted to share this great information with all of our readers:
From Tatiana:
I'm working on my second book, but at times I draw blanks. What do you do when you're drawing blanks?
If I'm drawing blanks, the usual problem is that I've written myself into a dead end. There has to be something in the scene drawing the characters forward: for example, a question that needs to be answered or some conflict that needs to be unearthed. I find the best thing to do is step back a bit. I leave the computer, take my spiral notebook and a pen, go to a different place in the house and start jotting notes. I write notes about what's going on in the scene; what emotions the character might be feeling; what conflicts he/she might be having with other characters; anything. This almost always gives me something to work with. If that doesn't work, I just make some kind of action happen on the page. It might be the wrong action, but at least it gets the writing jumpstarted!
From Anonymous:
When and where did you get the idea to write this book? Was it difficult and/or frustrating at times?
This book never would have been written if my mother hadn't told me the story of her aunt, who was a taxi dancer in New York in the 1920s and 1930s. Aunt Sofia had been the family secret for over 50 years. I was in my 30s before I learned about her. I thought her story was fascinating, so I started doing some research. The more I learned about taxi dancers, the more interested I became, especially when I found out that many of the girls still lived at home and kept their job secret from their families. That secret-double-life thing really intrigued me. I started wondering how a girl could possibly get away with it, and for how long, and before I knew it, the character of Ruby Jacinski was born.
I'm working on my third novel now, and yes, every single one has been difficult and frustrating. I might have one good day of writing, followed by three or four terrible days. You've got to keep writing and doing the best you can, even on those terrible days. So much of writing a novel is about having enough faith in yourself to keep sitting down every day and doing the work. Every writer I know has tremendous doubts. We doubt that our ideas are any good; that anyone will want to read them; that we're not doing the idea justice; that we'll get to the end and find out the whole thing is terrible. Thankfully, I have some really good friends who remind me that it's all part of the process, that I complained about the exact same things when I was writing the last book, and that it still turned out OK. I tend to forget that!
From Leslie:
How long did it take to write Ten Cents a Dance? Exactly how much research did you have to do?
It took about a year to write the first draft, then another six or seven months for two full revisions. During that whole time I did tons of research. I kept a bibliography to keep track of my sources: 49 books, 22 magazine articles, and 10 movies or documentaries. That's not counting all the Internet research I did. I would often start with a Google search, just to get an idea of what information was out there. I found a lot of books that way. I would occasionally consult Wikipedia, but I never relied solely on that or on any Internet source. Stuff you find on the Internet just isn't trustworthy enough. I made a rule for myself: every fact had to come from at least one "hard copy" source (i.e., a book or article) or one Internet source and then verified with a hard copy source. If I could find two hard copy sources, that was even better, and I did that as much as I could.
From Taylor:
When you start writing, how do you know what scene goes where? When you write do you go through it like the book or is it in parts that you have to put in order?
I'm a linear thinker—I have to start at the beginning and keep going until I hit the end. Some writers are really good at writing scenes in any order and then stitching them together, but my brain just doesn't work like that. It's almost as if I have to find out what happens at the same time my characters do. When I start writing a book, I have a beginning scene in mind, a tentative ending, and maybe two or three key events that happen somewhere in the middle. But it's all subject to change, depending on how the characters and the action unfold as I go along.
One of the best sayings I ever heard about writing fiction is this: The first draft is the writer telling himself the story. The second draft is the writer telling the reader the story.
In other words, at the beginning, the writer usually doesn't know what's going to happen or even what the story is really about. The first draft is where he or she discovers all that. Then, once the writer knows the characters and knows the story, then he or she figures out the most effective way to tell that story to the reader. That's what the second (and third, fourth, fifth, etc.) drafts are all about.
The novelist E.L. Doctorow once said: "Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as the headlights…but you can make the whole trip that way." I love that quote.
From Ruby:
How did you come up with the names?
Hi, Ruby! It was really important that the names be true to the time, and they had to fit the characters, too. I looked up lists of baby names that were popular in 1925 (the year my main character would have been born), and as soon as I saw the name Ruby, I knew it was perfect. It sounded sassy, sparkling and tough, exactly the way I saw the character in my head.
Most of the characters have ethnic last names—Polish, Lithuanian, Greek, etc.—and genealogy sites online were really helpful for those.
Another resource I used a lot was the Baby Name Wizard (www.babynamewizard.com/voyager). I got lots of ideas for period-appropriate names from this—plus it was a lot of fun to play with!
From Anonymous:
Was it really easy for you to relate to Ruby?
It actually wasn't. Ruby isn't like me at all. She's outgoing and sassy, and she doesn't like school—she wants to be out in the real world, doing. I loved school, my favorite thing is reading, and when it comes to dancing, forget it. I can barely walk a straight line without bumping into something.
In addition to all that, what made it really hard to relate to Ruby is that she's a poorly educated white girl raised in a segregated society, long before the civil rights or women's movement. From our point of view today, she's a racist. Back then, she wouldn't have thought of herself that way; as far as she's concerned, this is just how the world is. And since the story is told from her point of view and in her voice, those attitudes come through clearly. It was really tempting to make her more "enlightened," but for a girl in her situation in the 1940s, that wouldn't have been realistic. And historical fiction has to be realistic—otherwise, it's historical fantasy. We can't write history the way we want it to be, we have to write it the way it was. I knew that, but still there were times—especially in the early chapters, before her beliefs are challenged—when it was pretty tough to relate to her.
But the best thing about having a character so different from me is that she was constantly surprising me. At one point in the book, she did something so outrageous I actually said out loud, "Oh no you didn't!" It was something I hadn't planned, it just came out of nowhere. But it was a perfectly Ruby thing to do. Those are some of the best moments in writing—when your characters take over and start doing things you never expected.
From Anonymous:
How do you manage both, writing a book and being a veterinarian? Do you sometimes get lost in the idea of your ideas while at work?
I feel really lucky that I have both careers, but it's always a balancing act, that's for sure. I work two days a week (sometimes more) at the veterinary practice, and I write the other days. Owning my own veterinary practice would be impossible—there's no way I'd have time enough to write—so I work for someone else.
When I'm working as a veterinarian, I don't think about writing at all. And vice-versa when I'm writing. It's like they take up two completely separate parts of my brain. The hardest part is transitioning between writing and veterinary work. It's like I've been living in the 1940s for five days, and it takes me a little while to get readjusted the 21st century!
From Alicia:
How many years did you have to do to become a veterinarian?
It took me five years to earn my bachelor's degree, and then four years in veterinary school. Every once in a while, veterinary schools might admit a student with only two or three years of undergraduate study, but almost always they require a bachelor's degree first. Keep those grades up!
From Myliz:
Would you like to turn any of your books into a movie?
I'd love it! If you know any movie producers, send them my way.
From Candice:
How do you feel about entertainers such as Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera "reliving" the 1940s using fashion?
I think it's fabulous. I especially love Christina Aguilera's song and video "Candyman." She does 1940s style beautifully: the hair, makeup, dresses are all perfect. I just adore the fashions of that time—half the fun of watching '40s movies is admiring the clothes. Back then, they took wartime rationing and made it look gorgeous. So anyone who wants to revive those styles, I say go for it!
From Di'amanique:
Was your life in any way like Ruby's? Is Ruby something like your alter ego? I love writing, what would you suggest for an up-and-coming writer? What college did you attend? What training did you have?
My life hasn't been like Ruby's at all. (I don't even have a sister!) And we're so different, I don't really see her as an alter ego. She's definitely her own person, very distinct from me.
My biggest piece of advice for an up-and-coming writer is to read. Read widely. Try authors you never heard of, sample all different kinds of fiction and non-fiction. You don't have to like everything but the more you read, the more you'll absorb how different writers use language; how they build tension; how they reveal character; how they weave plot. Some of these things can be taught in the classroom, but I believe nothing teaches a writer how to write the way reading does.
Equally important: while you're doing all that reading, keep writing. Keep striving to improve. Don't ever be completely satisfied with your work. Writing is a craft, and like every other craft, it takes tremendous amounts of practice. I've published two novels, and I'm still striving to get better in my work.
I attended the University of California at Davis for both my undergraduate and veterinary degrees. I was a science major, so the only writing course I took was one creative writing class in my freshman year. I didn't take another writing class until I was 30, and that was through the adult education department of our local community college. A few of those and a couple of writing workshops are the only training I've had. But I've been an avid reader since I was a little kid, and that's where most of my education in writing came from. That, and lots of practice. By the time I published my first book, I'd been writing for 12 years. Almost every author has a similar story. It really comes down to persistence. If you keep reading, keep writing and keep striving, you will succeed. It may not come quickly, but it will come.

Newborn Immunizations
According to the CDC, vaccine-preventable childhood diseases in the United States are near an all-time low. But some viruses and bacteria are still around and can cause serious illness. It's important that all children, especially infants and young children, receive recommended immunizations on time. In other countries, many vaccine-preventable diseases are relatively common. Because of travel, these diseases could return to the U.S., resulting in increased, and unnecessary, illness, disability, and death among children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends that�infants�be fully immunized or vaccinated because recent studies have shown that infants who are vaccinated have a decreased�risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).�
What is the hepatitis B vaccine?
Immunizations start at birth. The first immunization given is the hepatitis B vaccine. Listed below are some facts about hepatitis B:
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV).�
Potentially, there may not be any symptoms present when first infected; the likelihood of early symptoms decreases with the person's age. If present,�yellow skin or eyes, tiredness, stomachache, loss of appetite, nausea, or joint pain may occur.
The younger the person is when infected with HBV, the greater the likelihood of staying infected and having life-long liver problems, such as scarring of the liver and liver cancer.
The disease�can be�spread�from an infected pregnant mother to her baby,�through contact with the blood of an infected person, or by having sex with an infected person. It can also be spread by sharing objects, such as toothbrushes or razors.�
The�HBV vaccine will prevent this disease. This vaccine is given to nearly all newborns. Additional doses are given before�age 18 months. If newborns are exposed to HBV before, during, or after birth, both the vaccine and a special HBV immune globulin dose are given within 12 hours of birth.�The CDC recommends that all babies�complete the HBV vaccine series between age 6 months�and 18 months�to be fully protected against HBV infection. This full series gives long-term protection against HBV and booster shots are typically not needed in people who have a healthy immune system.�

'Mini Mob' phone brings back the brick
Why anyone would want to bring back the cell-phone brick look is beyond us. Yet that's what the "Mini Mob" would like to do by stuffing modern technologies into its chunky, Flock of Seagulls-era frame.
It's really not as unwieldy as the originals, however--it's more of a scale model that's a little more than 4 inches long, according to Gadget Lab. Inside it sports an MP3 player, camera, and GSM technology (it's offered by a U.K. distributor).

Comments: I bought this treadmill in Dec. of 2008. I love it! I really like the preset workouts, that's what I usually use. I use it for walking on a couple times a week and my kids get on it now and again. It's pretty quiet. The cushioned walking surface is a feature I was looking for, bec. when I walk on cement my feet start to hurt.It really does help. The fan and music port are nice extras to have.Very happy w/ it.
Featuring an extended treadbelt, the T7 treadmill lets you take long, natural strides-allowing you to get more out of every step. And, with amenities like a Compatible Music Port for iPod® and built-in Intermix Acoustics™ 2.0 sound, the T7 treadmill lets you rock your workout with all your favorite music. The T7 treadmill also features an AutoBreeze™ Workout Fan, which automatically matches the airflow to your workout speed, giving you the sensation of running outside.

Youth for Human Rights International Year 2011 in Review
Congratulations! We are celebrating a decade of human rights education! Ten years ago, we launched Youth for Human Rights International with an essay contest. One of the winning essays was from a 10-year-old boy who wrote: "Discrimination was not born in the heart of a child." We have come a long way since then. With dirt on shoes and goals set star high, our dedicated volunteers around the world have reached out to their communities, countries and beyond with the messages that you have human rights and responsibilities too! We have held workshops in small community groups, school classrooms and large auditoriums; our educational videos have aired to millions including on small TV screens in taxicabs and large screens in shopping centers, railway stations and airports. Youth depicted the human rights in drama productions, dance, song, essays, and poetry and painted on large murals. We took human rights education out into the sunshine during our International Walks, marathons, soccer matches, and car races as well as city park events. This all-too-brief review is but a glimpse into the outstanding enthusiasm and energy in the creative initiatives of our supporters. Together we have taken human rights education to a whole new level globally!
In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and called upon all member countries to: "cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories." In 2001 Youth for Human Rights International was formed with the purpose to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.
Easy-to-use educational materials including 32 videos were translated, disseminated and distributed. Our materials are now available in more than 20 languages. Translations into several other languages are underway. We launched our interactive virtual classrooms on our websites to facilitate both educators and learners. Millions were reached through our human rights education programs:
- Copies of our materials were distributed to people in 178 countries.
- Visitors to our popular 18-language websites came from 227 countries and territories, representing over 15,000 cities.
- Over 42 million people were reached through the media.
- More than 560 TV stations around the world aired our Youth for Human Rights PSAs (Public Service Announcements) free of charge, reaching viewers in 35 countries to help promote these important messages.
- Viewership of The Story of Human Rights and PSAs amounted to more than 136 million.
Reaching out to people around the world, the 8th Annual Youth for Human Rights International World Educational Tour 2011 circled 25,875 miles around the globe to countries including Bangladesh, Belgium, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Thailand and the USA, in honor of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). Workshops were held in universities, schools and community centers. New collaborations were formed with like-minded organizations. Meetings were held with leaders including dignitaries, prominent legislators, law enforcement and educators to discuss the implementation of human rights education.
United Nations representatives, human rights NGOs and leaders of civil society joined youth delegates from 30 countries at our 8th Annual International Human Rights Summit 2011 in Geneva. Attendees packed the Hotel President Wilson event hall to capacity on August 26th—the very room where Youth for Human Rights International was launched 10 years ago. Speakers included a former United Nations Assistant Secretary General, several representatives of permanent missions to the United Nations and non-government organization consultants to the United Nations, and included youth delegates from Austria, Belgium, Benin, Central African Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Kenya, India, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Russia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Switzerland, Taiwan, Vietnamese Community, United Kingdom and the USA. A highlight of the event was the presentation of Human Rights Hero Awards to five humanitarians for their work to guarantee the rights of others and promote human rights education:
- Mr. Antonio Lopez, Human Rights Undersecretary of Chiapas, Mexico accepted a Human Rights Hero Award on behalf of Mr. Juan Sabines Guerrero, Governor of the State of Chiapas, for his work to incorporate the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the new state constitution, giving it the force of law for the people of his state.
- Dustin McGahee, President of Youth for Human Rights Florida, for involving Youth for Human Rights chapters from around the world in the International Walk for Human Rights he established to commemorate Human Rights Day on December 10.
- Eleonora Frigerio, Vice President of the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance in Italy, for building schools in Ghana for thousands of young children who would otherwise not benefit from the right to education and for providing human rights education to the Tibetan Children in Exile in Dharamshala, India.
- Ms. Joanne Tawfilis, Founding Executive Director of the Art Miles Mural Project, for promoting peace by involving children from countries throughout the world in painting murals.
- Mr. Martin Ponce Rubio, Territorial Director of Jalapa, Mexico, for nearly two decades of championing youth and for establishing educational and art programs to inform young people of their rights and combat crime and drug trafficking.
On December 10th, in honor of International Human Rights Day, our International Walk for Human Rights was coordinated and executed by youth delegates. Thousands of youth raised their flags and awareness about human rights education in countries such as Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Gambia, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, Holland, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland, Taiwan, Uganda, United Kingdom, USA, Venezuela, and Zambia. Multiple walks were held in several of the countries and some students in India even painted the Youth for Human Rights logo on their cheeks. Voices and spirits were lifted as they performed the song, Ten Thousand Voices, by the talented Youth Ambassador, Dustin McGahee, a song he specifically wrote and produced for the International Walk for Human Rights.
Dustin McGahee receives the Human Rights Hero Award from Dr. Mary Shuttleworth, President of Youth for Human Rights International, at the 8th Annual International Human Rights Summit in Geneva, Switzerland.Realizing the vital roles of governments in the implementation of human rights education, Youth for Human Rights volunteers conducted petition drives, gathering support from tens of thousands of people in city squares, shopping centers, parks, and train stations in many countries so that all students have the opportunity to learn about human rights in their educational facilities. The more than 350,000 signatures collected in 69 nations show overwhelming global support.
The 8th annual Youth for Human Rights Day was celebrated from Washington, D.C. to Washington State in the USA. Governors and mayors alike acknowledged the importance of human rights education. Youth and adults in cities including Alhambra, Boca Raton, Burbank, Ft. Lauderdale, Glendale, La Canada, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Monrovia, Oakland, Orlando, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Diego, San Jose, St. Petersburg, and Tampa held meetings and events promoting the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Our annual art, essay and poetry competitions inspired youth in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Congratulations to everyone who participated! Your bold statements and brilliant images depicted in relevant settings and scenarios radiate clear understandings of universal human rights. We will display a selection of your entries during our Annual International Human Rights Summit. The highest number of wonderful submissions came from the Philippines, especially from McKinley Hill International School & Leadership Academy for Children Lipa and their Pioneer Partners, selected public elementary schools as part of the Right Respecting School Award in association with the IamSAM Foundation and United for Human Rights Philippines. Once again, congratulations!
Modern-day slavery, also known as human trafficking, is a leading criminal industry enslaving millions of people in countries around the world. This year we continued our awareness campaigns in media such as the International Vocess magazine and at conferences in countries including Denmark, South Africa, and Switzerland, as well as extensively in the USA including California, Michigan, Texas, Washington, D.C. and Utah.
Youth for Human Rights International teams around the world have reached out into their communities, countries and beyond their borders promoting the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights with our learner-friendly materials. It would take a book to reflect upon these courageous and dedicated volunteers and their outstanding and far-reaching work. Here are just a few random examples from our groups:
The African Human Rights Leadership Campaign continued to build and expand in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ghana. The expansion included their first "developed world" leadership-training pilot, based in Pasadena, California. Many strong alliances were formed including many Pasadena city commissions and departments. Several well-attended community human rights education forums with top speakers were held, including programs on youth violence, on famine, and on terrorism and civil liberties. Now calling the project the United for Human Rights Leadership Campaign, they are training a core group of local Pasadena high school students to campaign on human rights issues. These American youth will also be linking up to their counterpart human rights leaders in Africa as the Campaign returns to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ghana in the coming year.
The Canada chapter of Youth for Human Rights has been expanding its roots to several communities. Some of the events they participated in were the 2011 Global Citizenship Conference, the Toronto Cross Cultural Association's Multicultural Harmony photo competition, the Citizenship Ceremony organized by the York Regional Police, and the 5th Annual Youth Day celebration at the famous downtown Yonge-Dundas Square. The York Regional Police are now using the human rights materials with their police force and also in schools when they make presentations on the topic of bullying. Teachers are using our materials with their classes and human rights education is spreading quickly, especially in the Toronto South Asian community.
The Youth for Human Rights team in Russia reports that the teams in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) raced to the finish with huge expansion this year. Their "Final Peace and Human Rights" marathons reached far and wide during their street sport events in Perm, Ufa, Naberezhnye Chelny, Moscow, Kazan and St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg alone, 73 lessons, lectures and seminars were organized in 18 schools reaching about 2,500 students. More than 8,000 "What Are Human Rights?" booklets were distributed in the CIS area. 750 street events and petition drives were held where 450,000 Youth for Human Rights fliers were distributed and 19,000 signatures were collected from people requesting human rights education in schools.
Youth for Human Rights Denmark has more than 300 members and many sponsors. This year, with our educational materials translated in Danish, the team participated in several schoolbook fairs in two major cities. Teachers, librarians and executives of the Centers for Educational Materials attended from all over the country. Large community events were also held with artists and some of the best break-dancers in the country. Partnering with local integration authorities, they participated in major festivals, for example "International Days - Taste the World," arranged by the Copenhagen Commune in celebration of diversity and inclusion and attended by 50,000 visitors.
In France, our Youth for Human Rights team held several events. For example, on the International Day of Peace our materials were on display and our videos were aired on a TV in a large white tent, while 20 volunteers handed out approximately 1,000 booklets and collected signatures on a petition to have human rights taught in schools. Media filmed the event and radio interviews followed. International Human Rights Day and other community events promoted our messages to the public. In total, an estimated 10,000 people received our materials during these events and thousands more were reached via the media.
Gondwana is the ancient supercontinent that incorporated present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica some 600 million years ago. Grammy winner Robin Hogarth initiated project "Gondwana" which took eight selected singers from South African schools to India in October. The young singers were selected from seven schools that had incorporated the Youth for Human Rights materials into their programs. In India, in collaboration with Youth for Human Rights India and Artists for Human Rights, they participated in events including a Human Rights Forum at a school in New Delhi. Seventeen tracks were also recorded in New Delhi for the Gondwana Dawn album. Their activities culminated in a high profile concert combining traditional African and Indian music, which was well attended and honored by dignitaries including the State Minister of New Delhi.
Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the Youth for Human Rights team organized a project to build and operate an orphanage. As a result, shelter was provided for 130 children during those first phases of recovery. Once the initial emergency was over, a research project was initiated to locate surviving parents, resulting in a large number of children being reunited with their parents. While caring for the remaining orphans in their care, the team continues the search for parents in the hope to reunite even more families.
Youth for Human Rights Holland started the year with a mailing campaign to 100 primary schools in the North of Holland, with teachers, students and community leaders requesting copies of our materials. They participated in several events including at the Calvijn College in Krabbendijke, the Liberation Festival, the Speak Out event of the Unrepresented Nations and People Organization in The Hague, and co-organized the annual day for the Organization of Women for Peace. This resulted in a number of the women becoming local ambassadors taking our human rights education materials to the mayors of their respective cities.
In India, the Youth for Human Rights teams delivered a total of 103 human rights awareness events with a total attendance of almost 17,000 people. A highlight of 2011 has been our work with the Indian Army where joint events with Youth for Human Rights were held in Kashmir to promote human rights. As a result Youth for Human Rights received more than 75 awards and letters of recognition and acknowledgement from schools, charities and other NGOs for our contribution to the cause of Human Rights in India. Almost 8,000 individuals visited the Youth for Human Rights South Asia Online Network site with approximately 150,000 page views.
Youth for Human Rights Japan promoted our materials to approximately 3,000 schools, resulting in requests from hundreds of teachers. They did several workshops in schools, held an event in support of one of our teams in Zambia, and organized a Peace Walk. They formed significant local collaborations and partnerships, for example with the Friends of the United Nations chapter in Japan, and our coordinator was invited to become part of the prestigious human rights paper, the Human Rights Times. With 6,000 copies of the paper distributed nationwide, including to government human rights departments, political parties, education committees and more, this appointment as General Secretary and reporter is a significant leap forward in raising awareness and teaching human rights education.
Youth for Human Rights Mexico presented a human rights workshop to the Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico, more specifically with the Department of Advisors to the Presidency of the court, and fully enlightened them on our human rights campaign. Furthermore, the campaign expanded to the State of Chiapas through a series of events, which included youth concerts and teacher training seminars, as well as workshops for marginalized people. But above all, the President of Mexico enacted a reform in the Federal Constitution, which recognized, among other international treaties, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, thus fully recognizing human rights in the Constitution.
The Youth for Human Rights Morocco team realized that too many children suffer from diabetes without proper medical treatment. Working with the Association of Maarif they organized free medical diabetic checks for some students in local schools. Recognizing how important it is for sight-impaired children to have glasses, they arranged to have free eye check-ups for some students and helped them get free eyeglasses. They taught human rights while addressing serious needs in the community. With help from the community they painted murals depicting human rights and joined Professor Rachida El-Azhari and her team, who won a prize at the Morocco Festival for the play entitled: The Right to Education.
In Nigeria, Youth for Human Rights reached out to government officials, community leaders, and religious leaders as well as far into the rural areas. We awarded the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control for outstanding efforts in the fight against counterfeit medical drugs. Hundreds of religious leaders and thousands from the community gathered in Nigeria at the 4-day Religious Crusade and Human Rights Summit hosted by Impact Africa Network of Churches. The human rights workshops included discussions about local issues and the important role of knowing about human rights and responsibilities.
Youth for Human Rights continued gaining support in Pakistan, emphasizing individual responsibility to bring human rights to every sector of the country. Over 20 live television programs have been broadcast at a national level, enlightening millions on the importance of women and children's rights. Major work has been done to raise awareness of the 30 rights through seminars, peace walks and discussion forums. This has increased the newsletter subscribers to over 6,000. Assistance was also given to the flood victims in areas where homes were destroyed. Long-term projects have now been initiated to cultivate a culture that respects the rights for all.
The Old Fort Prison Complex in Johannesburg, South Africa was once the prison of Nelson Mandela as well as Mahatma Gandhi. "Constitution Hill" as the human rights museum is now called, collaborated with Youth for Human Rights, teaching human rights to hundreds of students from 15 schools. Working in coordination with the Department of Education, workshops were held for teachers as well as thousands of students. Youth for Human Rights has reached students nationwide in classrooms from Soweto, Boksburg and Springs, reaching to the foot of the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town and, through the media, hundreds of thousands more Africans.
In Switzerland, the Youth for Human Rights teams hosted our three-day International Human Rights Summit for the third time, welcoming youth and adults from around the world and launching their new decks of Youth for Human Rights "memory" playing cards depicting the 30 human rights in both English and French. In May, they collaborated with Village Suisse ONG and other like-minded organizations in honor of Non-Governmental Organization Day for their 4th annual conference, which was later aired on TV du Petit-Lancy. Other workshops included lessons to six classrooms at a private school where one student wrote: "I will do all my best to pass the message to make everyone realize the 30 rights and do everything possible so that these rights are respected U-N-I-T-E-D." In December, flags, banners and spirits were high as they walked through the streets in honor of International Human Rights Day.
Youth for Human Rights Taiwan trained 500 teachers on how to teach human rights. They also delivered human rights lectures in about 200 schools to tens of thousands of students and distributed about 10,000 human rights booklets. They delivered workshops at nine universities to thousands of students. In the Taichung and Kaohsiung areas they held 340 street petition signing events with 20,079 people signing in support of human rights education. On December 10th in honor of International Human Rights Day, over a thousand participated in the International Walk for Human Rights in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung.
The Youth for Human Rights teams in the USA have reached out to schools, community groups and more. Here are just a few examples:
- Chivas USA kicked discrimination during their soccer game in August against the Real Salt Lake team at the Home Depot Center soccer stadium in Los Angeles County. Thousands of supporters learned about human rights when the Youth for Human Rights PSA, Don't Discriminate, aired on the huge stadium screens.
- Arizona sun shone bright as our teams brought new meaning to human rights to thousands during their workshops and events, including Youth for Human Rights Day proclaimed by Governor Brewer. Bullying was addressed head-on in workshops hosted for elementary through college age groups in collaboration with Opening Minds, LLC. Channel 3 news promoted our community Day of Dignity event.
- The Youth for Human Rights Florida public school program focuses on the issue of bullying. They have expanded from individual classes to whole schools, where students started their day watching the Youth for Human Rights PSAs on school television screens. Stepping outside Florida, the teams are spreading the value of using our materials as a valuable anti-bullying campaign to teachers at educational conventions across the USA.
- In Los Angeles, in honor of International Human Rights Day, youth painted a mural depicting human rights, and awards were presented to the young artists during an award ceremony. Attendees were encouraged to donate canned food, which was donated to groups who provide meals to those in need.
- Youth for Human Rights, Washington, D.C. collaborated with more human rights organizations than ever before. They received a proclamation from Mayor Gray proclaiming Youth for Human Rights Day. They also participated in the National Convention of Social Studies (the largest of its kind in the USA), delivering human rights educator kits to approximately 25% of those in attendance.
The list of dedicated volunteers and their inspiring human rights education activities is hardly complete. I want to thank each and every one of our volunteers, donors, sponsors, collaborators and supporters. You are the vital support base for bringing our message to the world and spurring our exponential global expansion.
As a nonprofit organization we rely on memberships, generous donations and supporters, in addition to the work of our dedicated volunteers across the globe. We appreciate your help and encourage you to invite your family and friends to join in the global movement to teach human rights at www.youthforhumanrights.org or visit www.humanrights.com. Youth for Human Rights International is the youth component of United for Human Rights, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization headquartered in Los Angeles. Youth for Human Rights is a global movement, with groups, clubs and chapters in almost 200 countries around the world. United for Human Rights strives to educate the public about human rights and to promote tolerance and peace among people of the world.
I want to acknowledge the Youth for Human Rights International Board Members as well as our Advisory Board Members including Mayor Almog Burstein, Dr. Pouran Ameli, Professor Ian Hall, Reverend McKinney, Sheriff Leroy Baca, Sheeraz Hasan and Irving Sarnoff. Special acknowledgement goes to the Human Rights Department of the Church of Scientology International for their outstanding support.
Because of this incredible support, educators anywhere in the world can, for a limited time, order a complimentary package of our human rights education materials. The education packages include educator's manuals, videos, and posters depicting the 30 human rights as well as booklets for the students. This limited complimentary offer was made possible by a donation of materials. Due to escalating demand we urge educators to take advantage of this offer as soon as possible or simply use the material on our websites.
As we celebrate a decade of human rights education, we look to the future for further expansion based on the valuable experiences gained and diligently continue our exponential expansion globally. There is still much to do. With feet on the ground, reach for the stars!
Wishing you a wonderful and productive 2012!
With kind regards,
Mary Shuttleworth, EdD

Ice Cold Beer's Wings and Pizza
Here's an updated photo of Ice Cold Beer's wings and Number 5 pizza given how crappy the previous photos were (9 Emerald Hill Road, 6735-9929). It's still the same stuff - crispy thin pizza crust and super light chicken wings with a hint of shrimp paste and Chinese wine in it. Put that together with cheap beer after a number of stressful work days and it all comes together nicely.

Gluten-Free Girl Scout Cookies?! Yes! Homemade Tag-a-Longs!
My personal favorite Girl Scout Cookie was always the Tag-a-Long: what could be better than chocolate and peanut butter?! Now you can make these delectable treats yourself any time you like, gluten and allergen-free!


text: This Kit Fisto action figure is mainly based on Kit's appearance in the Clone Wars episode "Lair Of Grievous". The figure's aesthetics are very nicely captured and come very close to what was seen on T.V. Kit Fisto can hold his lightsaber tightly, but he does have some problems standing straight without falling over, especially when the backpack is attached onto his back. For some reason Hasbro decided to not include any kind of knee or ankle articulation, which makes it impossible to put him into a more aggressive and more battle oriented pose as seen when he was fighting General Grievous for example. Kit Fisto's strongest feature is probably his head sculpt. It is very detailed and was given a very good paint application. Overall, this Kit Fisto figure is a bit of let down with limited articulation, balancing problems, and a super over sized backpack as an accessory.

SRAM has a ton of experience in hydraulic braking technology with their Avid brand, and they have reset the vision for road and cross bike braking with the 10-speed compatible S-700 Hydro Shifter with Hydraulic Disc Brake. This DoubleTap front shifter is compatible with 10-speed Yaw front derailleurs and cranksets but with hydraulic braking for more braking power with less pressure needed at the lever taking speed control to the next level.
The hoods are slightly taller versus the mechanical but have the larger carbon levers and reach adjust like the mechanical braking version. Each lever has an independent reach adjuster that is easily accessed with a 2.5mm hex wrench so there are no excuses for not having perfect reach adjustment. A Connectamajig (play of words off "rollamajig") is a coupling that makes installation easy because it just pushes in and twists into place so you can run your hoses without needing to bleed the system.
Double Tap shifting means both up and downshifts are delivered through a single lever. A light push gets into the small chainring and a more extended push moves the chain into the large chainring. ZeroLoss shifting is retained where there is always an immediate shift response. A complete set of cable and housing are included, but the shifting cables can only be routed on the inside of the handle bar.
Includes shift/hydraulic brake levers, hose and caliper.
Shifter and Master Cylinder Features
Disc Brake Caliper Features
Rotors & caliper mounting spacers/brackets are sold separately

Sitting down can kill you! Or at least help you die earlier. Or give you bad posture. Or so I keep hearing. The solution, apparently, is to stand while working, at some sort of overly tall desk-like contraption. I don't know about the health benefits, but I'm sold on the standing desk idea.
Thoughts from a Brighton geek about web development, marketing, freelancing, entrepreneurship and fatherhood. Probably not in that order.

Natural Cork Bark
1/4 inch corkboard
Bring the natural textures of Mediterranean terrain to interior designs with walls of living tree bark. Sierra Designer Cork Tiles feature layers of brown-hued cork oak on easy-to-install wall panels. Each tile bears a unique selection of unprocessed bark for an organic décor accent that's truly one-of-a-kind.
Designer Cork Tiles are durable, sound-dampening and temperature-insulating, making rooms more energy-efficient. Easy installation allows interior decorators creative freedom to incorporate tiles in a variety of applications. Make a statement with full walls or ceilings of stunning raw cork bark. Create an artistic focal point above a mantelpiece, table or bed. Apply in home theatres and recording studios for one-of-a-kind acoustic insulation. Due to their earth tone colors and natural textures, Designer Cork Tiles work well as understated room accents as well as bold visual centerpieces.
What Makes Designer Cork Tiles GreenClaimed®? Cork is harvested from the renewable bark of the cork oak tree and is one of the most sustainable materials available. The outer bark is merely "trimmed" and allowed to grow back, leaving the tree undamaged. A cork oak can live up to 200 years with harvesting occurring once every nine years, yielding about 20 harvests during a tree's life. The soft, spongy inner bark is most often used for wine corks; the leftovers are often recycled into flooring or other cork products. Designer Cork Tiles reclaim the exterior bark in its raw state and repurpose it for never-before-seen organic décor.

A study presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2011 in Chicago this week offered firm evidence that commonly used inhaled anesthetics such as isoflurane do not increase the incidence of postoperative delirium, which can affect how well some patients recover after surgery.
"Our study demonstrates that the use of inhaled anesthetic agents does not increase the incidence of cognitive problems such as delirium in the early postoperative period," said lead author Terri G. Monk, M.D., Duke University Health System. "This study should reassure elders that the type of general anesthesia does not affect early cognitive outcomes after surgery and that they should not avoid necessary surgery or general anesthesia if it is required for their surgery."
Previous cellular and animal studies have shown that some inhaled volatile anesthetics can cause alterations in the brain similar to those seen in dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Monk's current study is one of the first human studies to address the link between anesthesia and cognitive decline after surgery.
Her prospective study enrolled 200 adults 65 or older who were undergoing major orthopedic surgery. Before surgery, the patients were given tests to determine brain function and depression levels. During surgery, the patients received opioids with either an inhaled anesthetic (isoflurane), or intravenous anesthetic (propofol).
Postoperative delirium occurred in 12.6 percent of the patients receiving inhaled anesthesia, and 13.6 percent of the patients receiving intravenous anesthesia.
Importantly, it was found that only the patient's medical condition and cognitive status before surgery had an effect on whether he or she would experience delirium. "These findings indicate that a patient's preoperative medical problems and the ability to process information and concentrate (executive function) and learn and remember (memory) are independent predictors of postoperative delirium; the type of general anesthesia does not influence the incidence of postoperative delirium," said Dr. Monk.
Patients who developed postoperative delirium experienced a 40 percent orthopedic failure rate, compared to a 5 percent failure rate for those patients who did not experience delirium. Previous studies have indicated that postoperative delirium is associated with longer hospital stays and increased morbidity and mortality.
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 50,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring that physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during, and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care that every patient deserves.
For more information on the field of anesthesiology, visit the American Society of Anesthesiologists online at asahq.org. To learn more about the role physician anesthesiologists play in ensuring patient safety, visit asahq.org/WhenSecondsCount. Join the ANESTHESIOLOGYTM 2013 social conversation today.

I don't know if I hit a wrong button somewhere along the way or what.
I have a session I've built in the Multi-track editor. I can play it just fine in the editor.
When I try to export (file/export/multi-track mixdown) it outputs the wav file and it shows that it has like 300+megs, but when playing it, it does not sound.
It is like a mute button got pressed when exporting or something.
Any help would be wonderful. On a deadline for a school project.
Wish I could answer that. I had put the non workiung files in the trash.
What I can tell you is that they looked like they had everything there. They showed the corred amount of megs etc.
I could open them in itunes etc and the counter would move as if it were playing, but it was not producing any sound.
