Lawyer sees 'conspiracy of silence' in Mubarak trial.Hosni Mubarak Noun 1. Hosni Mubarak - Egyptian statesman who became president in 1981 after Sadat was assassinated (born in 1929)
Mubarak on Monday Monday: see week. told the court trying him that there had been a "conspiracy of silence Noun 1. conspiracy of silence - a conspiracy not to talk about some situation or event; "there was a conspiracy of silence about police brutality"
conspiracy, confederacy - a secret agreement between two or more people to perform an unlawful act " by those seeking to shield the former president.
The prosecution and lawyers for the plaintiffs were speaking ahead the final hearing of the case on Wednesday, when Judge Ahmed Refaat is due to set a date to deliver his verdict in the trial that began on Aug. 3.
The prosecution is seeking the death sentence for Mubarak over the charge that he was involved in killing some 850 protesters but says the interior ministry and its police force have not cooperated to help them build the case.
"There is no doubt that there has been a conspiracy against the court, a conspiracy that started from the first day, a conspiracy of silence," plaintiff lawyer Sameh Ashour said.
"It is a conspiracy for all those videos to be recorded over, for an officer to be allowed to wipe (1) To completely erase data from memory or the hard disk. See file wipe.
(2) A digital video effect that places one image over another. Although there are a myriad varieties, the classic wipe is a scene transition where the next scene slides horizontally or all recordings from the police force's operation room," he said, accusing police of tampering tampering The adulteration of a thing. See Drug tampering. with potential evidence.
Many Egyptians had hoped the trial would help turn a page on the past, but are now worried the prosecution has weaker evidence which could lead to a light sentence. They also say Mubarak received preferential pref·er·en·tial
1. Of, relating to, or giving advantage or preference: preferential treatment.
2. treatment.
Mubarak, 83, who has denied the charges that also include abuse of power and corruption, was again in court on a stretcher and in the same cage as his two sons, the former interior minister and other top police officers.
He has been held in a military hospital rather than in prison facilities. A parliamentary committee said on Monday in a report that a prison hospital on the edge of Cairo where other officials have been held was now equipped to receive him.
The prosecution, responding to the final arguments of the defense, said they had worked round the clock to build the case.
"We say the evidence is strong and decisive," prosecution lawyer Moustafa Suleiman said, adding that television footage showed the violence unleashed on protesters during the 18-day uprising that brought down Mubarak on Feb. 11, 2011.
He added: "Over the course of the past month, what we have heard (from the defense) was distortions, silencing of the truth. Some of it was complete manipulation."
The prosecution reminded the court of footage from a mobile phone of one victim that showed the moment he was shot during the uprising, with images of the officer who shot him, but the Interior Ministry said it could not identify the shooter.
The prosecution also dismissed the defense argument that "third parties" and foreigners were to blame.
"Were these foreigners or third parties just in Tahrir Square (in Cairo)? How come they didn't show up in other provinces," Suleiman said.

Israel broke off peace talks with the Palestinians on Thursday, saying a planned reconciliation between the moderate faction participating in the talks and the militant Islamist group Hamas made negotiation impossible.
The rupture appeared to be the final blow to an ambitious U.S.-sponsored effort to frame a peace treaty this year.
Israeli-Palestinian talks that began last summer under heavy American pressure were already sputtering and were due to expire next week.
The negotiations, always a long shot, marked the first deep involvement by the Obama administration to address the intractable conflict. The direct Israeli-Palestinian talks, often with a U.S. mediator present, had been the most sustained and substantive such discussions in more than five years.
Palestinian leaders said the proposed unified government should not be a bar to further talks with Israel, and Washington insisted Thursday that the troubled peace effort is not dead. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to rule out all discussion with a Palestinian government that includes Hamas in any capacity.
I think the pact with Hamas kills peace, Netanyahu said in an interview with NBC. If it moves forward, it means peace moves backward.
The Iranian-backed Hamas does not recognize Israel as a legitimate country, and Israel accuses the group of harboring extremists who carry out attacks on Israel from inside the Gaza Strip, a territory that Hamas rules.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party had announced Wednesday that it will reunite with Hamas, ending a seven-year split. An agreement signed in Gaza gives Abbas five weeks to form a unified government.
It was not clear how Hamas would be integrated into the Fatah leadership, or whether the deal will hold.
We will never give up our hope or our commitment for the possibilities for peace, Secretary of State John Kerry said in brief remarks at the State Department. We believe it is the only way to go. But right now, obviously, it's at a very difficult point and the leaders themselves have to make decisions. It's up to them.
Kerry has long said that the talks may represent the last real chance to create an independent Palestine alongside Israel. Israeli settlement-building on land that the Palestinians claim for a state is one major obstacle. The hardened anger and grievance of both sides is another. The longer the conflict runs, the larger and more immutable those obstacles become.
The United Nations' envoy for the Middle East peace process, Robert Serry, met with Abbas on Thursday and issued a statement afterward saying that the Palestinian leader had assured him that the new, unified government will meet the U.S. requirements for any future negotiations between the two sides, including recognition of Israel, nonviolence and adherence to previous agreements.
The United Nations supports a unified Palestinian government, Serry said, as the only way to reunite the West Bank and Gaza under one legitimate Palestinian Authority.
But if Abbas had hoped that reconciliation with Hamas would move the talks forward, or give him leverage to demand greater concessions from Israel, he apparently miscalculated.
In addition to halting the talks indefinitely, the Israeli government said it is considering imposing economic sanctions against the Palestinian Authority as a way to punish Abbas.
Israel took similar steps last month after the Palestinians approached 15 international organizations to gain formal recognition as a state. Israel was angered by that move but did not cancel talks. The Hamas deal, however, made it impossible to continue, Israeli officials said.
Abbas has formed an alliance with a murderous terrorist organization that calls consistently for Israel's destruction, Netanyahu said in a statement issued shortly after the vote. Instead of choosing peace, he has formed an alliance with an organization whose charter calls on Muslims to fight and kill Jews.


text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Background A group of Muslims in Chicago gather in the city's south side to clean the block and invite people to Islam. Here's a video recapping what the event was all about, the problems faced along the way, and how the team went about dealing with them. Behind The Scenes In 2007, there was an organized street cleaning and Da'wah event from the brothers and sisters of Islamic Oasis in Chicago, IL. A bunch of Qabeelat Wasat students went to go help out, and Wasat Studios was there to make a mini documentary out of it. This was actually my first attempt at a documentary. It seemed simple enough, and in post-production, turned out to be simple, indeed. Film some all of the action (B-Roll Footage), and at the end of the event ask a bunch of people to comment on what happened, to use as means of interview in the documentary (A-Roll Footage). Put it all together and voila: instant documentary! Just add water. I was even able to slightly do a Three Act Structure based on our experiences while volunteering. Stage one, setup of the street cleaning and the Da'wah that was done. Stage two, confrontation from the Christian groups out of church on Sunday. Stage three, resolution as to how we dealt with it and how the event went altogether. I had two minor issues in all of this. Firstly, it was a bit of a trip to walk around with a Canon XH-A1 6 lb camera on 79th St in the south side of Chicago. Besides the fact that I was a clearly Muslim and Desi guy who really stood out, a lot of people didn't like my camera. They thought I was going to expose them or something (for standing on the corner at 1pm? I didn't understand, either). I even got threats! But alhamdulillah I managed to keep it low profile throughout the day. It was kinda fun. Second issue, it was sometimes tricky dealing with footage with bad background visuals. For instance, there was a lot of footage I took of our volunteers speaking with the heated Christian debaters. Unfortunately, in the heat of the moment, I didn't realize there was a Payless Shoe Store in the background with an inappropriate sale poster in the window until post-production. I had to decide to either ditch all the footage, or find a way to block it out. I ended up ditching most of it and using some while blurring out the poster, which you can see in the video. Alhamdulillah I had other footage to use instead that didn't have the poster in the background (the gentleman had a LOT to say about Christianity and against Islam, hehe), but that was a coincidence. And it just so happened that the unusable footage was more debate oriented while the usable footage was more showing the Christians' faults. I felt showing too much debate was not good, especially in light of the verse 46 from Surah ʻAnkabūt where Allah (SWT) says: And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best In any case, the extra footage did the job, maybe even better than the unusable footage. But a lesson was also learned: Next time gotta remember to be careful of what's in the background insha'Allah! All in all, a great event, a great cause, and a great load of fun filming and editing it for Wasat Studios. I encourage all Muslims with camera skills to step up and film your event. With a little bit of editing, you can make your event footage into a solid promo that can serve as a great means of advertising, insha'Allah.

While I did have some issues with a few people, most others took the camera just fine. Even the major Christian debater. In fact, in some of the footage it becomes humorous because as he's talking to our volunteers, he turns and looks at the camera. Kinda like a, "oh it's on, time to go all out." Besides him, though, people knew we were an organized group on the corner doing our thing. All of us wearing comfortable "cleaning" clothes, white rubber gloves, and being either bearded or covered for brothers and sisters respectively. So add one of the volunteers with a camera, and the people who knew who were and why we were there didn't mind all that much. 0 0 Reply Amatullah August 7, 2009 mashaAllah great work!

Banjara tribe is a significant caste amongst the innumerable tribes who have thronged various places of eastern India. Banjaras are considered the caste of carriers. They are the typical nomads who wonder from one place to another thus leading a life in their own terms and condition. Thus, their way of living is quite thrilling and full of adventures. What are equally colourful are their costumes. The name of Banjara tribe has been considered of great antiquity. According to scholars, the first mention of the Banjaras is found in the history of
Sikandar Lodi
`s attack on Dholpur in 1504 AD. The Banjaras accompanied different Muslim invaders of the country.
Origin of Banjara Tribe
The origin of the Banjara tribes is quite interesting. According to anthropologists, The Banjaras came to the Deccan following the invasion by the armies of Aurangzeb. According to some authorities, the actual Banjara lineage goes back to some 2000 years. After setting down in Rajasthan, Banjaras began to travel down to the South in the 14th century. Few even claims about their link with Mughals whom Banjara supplied stock of animals and food. Besides its close trading association with the British East India Company rulers and
Tipu Sultan
are praiseworthy.
Divisions of Banjara Tribe
Banjara tribes have four main divisions in Berar, namely, Mathurias, Dharis, Charans and Labhanas. The name Charan basically means wanderer. Charans have five clans - Panwar, Puri, Rathor, Jadon and Chauhan. These are the names of leading Rajput clans. Each clan of Banjara tribe has several sub-clans. Members within the same clan do intermarry. There are other divisions apart from these four main divisions. There are two Muhammadan sections in this caste namely Mukeri and Turkia.
Marriage Rituals of Banjara Tribe
Banjara marriage has been celebrated adding their social rituals in their own fervour. Liquor is dispersed freely on the first day of the wedding when the bridegroom and his relatives are welcomed at the tanda of the bride. The groom`s family is cordially being welcomed by offering betel leaves and nut. At the time of marriage also special customs and norms are being followed. The couple then holds hands and does seven rounds of grain pounding with pestles. In Banjara communities, marriages are usually held in rainy season. It is because of the fact that in the dry season, they are regularly travelling. In their society, widow re-marriage is allowed. They observe various set birth and death rites. They either bury or burn the dead. Their mourning rites are not very strict.
Costume of Banjara Tribe
Culture of Banjara tribes is quite enriched. The costumes of Banjara tribe are very colourful. A Banjara woman`s mode of dressing is regarded to be the most colourful as well as elaborate amongst all other tribal communities of India. A woman of Banjara tribes is quite accustomed to the costume ghagra-lehenga-choli. Ghagra is a whirling skirt made of red, black and white cotton, embellished with pieces of mirrored glass that are embroidered on it. There is a band of material around the waist that strengthens a skirt or trousers and this too is fastened with traditional stitches. The odhni (mantle), which covers the head, is quite long enough thus draping down their backs almost going as long as its feet. She rarely takes off all her bone bangles and anklets. Jewelleries become an integral part of the body. Long silver earrings are very common things to wear and also patterned cowries adorn the hairs plaits of a Banjara woman.
Culture of Banjara Tribe
Festivals are part and parcel of Banjara tribal community. Apart from celebrating few popular festivals of India like
, they too fete some of their folk festivals in great enthusiasm and vigour. Ugadi is one such local festival, highly popular amongst the Banjara tribes. For these pious Banjara, religious festivals too are very popular. Family deities are revered to a great extent. They consider Lord Venkateshwara of
as their family deity. Even most of the Banjara tribes used to save quite a lot of money so that they can go for pilgrimage to the temple of the Lord of the Seven Hills popularly known as Balaji.
Since majority of Banjara tribes are Hindus, they diligently perform all the rites and rituals of the Hindus. Just like any other Indian tribal community, dance and music constitute an integral part of their celebration during festivals and also during joyful functions like marriage, New Year celebration etc. In the earlier period, these joyful fetes went for days together. However, these days the time period has been curtailed down to mere two or three days. The Banjaras eat all types of meat and drink liquor. Each caravan has a chief.
Crafts of Banjara Tribes
Art-work of Banjara tribes has got a great demand in the market of not only in various states of India and abroad as well. Quite a handful of materials including variety of materials like silver, brass, gold, cowries, ivory, animal bone and even plastic decor the wardrobes of any fashionable urbanites. The main languages spoken are Urdu language and
Telugu language
. A local dialect namely, Kutni too is popular amongst a section of Banjara tribes.

Transportation Infrastructure:
Limited Improvement in Bridge Conditions over the Past Decade, but Financial Challenges Remain
GAO-13-713T: Published: Jun 13, 2013. Publicly Released: Jun 13, 2013.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
There has been limited improvement in bridge conditions in the past decade, but a substantial number of bridges remain in poor condition. Of the 607,380 bridges on the nation's roadways in 2012, 1 in 4 was classified as deficient. Some are structurally deficient and have one or more components in poor condition and others are functionally obsolete and may no longer be adequate for the traffic they serve. Data indicate that the number of deficient bridges has decreased since 2002 even as the number of bridges has increased. The impact of the federal investment in bridges is difficult to measure. For example, while Department of Transportation (DOT) tracks a portion of bridge spending on a state-by-state basis, the data do not include state and local spending, thus making it difficult to determine the federal contribution to overall expenditures. Understanding the impact of federal investment in bridges is important in determining how to invest future federal resources.
There has been progress in clarifying federal goals and linking federal surface transportation programs--including bridges--to performance. DOT worked with Congress which adopted provisions in Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), including provisions that move toward a more performance-based highway program. MAP-21 specified that National Highway Performance Program funds may only support eligible projects--including bridge projects--on the National Highway System. The Act also required the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with states and others, to establish performance measures for bridge conditions. However, although there has been progress in these areas, Congress and the administration need to agree on a long-term plan for funding surface transportation. As we noted in our 2013 High Risk Update, continuing to fund a Highway Trust Fund shortfall through general revenues may not be sustainable without balancing revenues and spending from the fund.
Why GAO Did This Study
The May 23, 2013 collapse of a section of the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River, north of Seattle, Washington, underscores the importance of maintaining the nation's infrastructure and the economic impact that a bridge failure can have on a region. This testimony addresses (1) what is known about the current condition of the nation's bridges and impact of federal funding for bridges and (2) a preliminary look at recent changes to the surface transportation and bridge program made by MAP-21. The Act consolidated a number of highway programs, including the former Highway Bridge Program. This testimony is based on prior GAO reports, updated with publicly available bridge data and information.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any new recommendations. In 2008, GAO recommended that the Secretary of Transportation work with Congress to identify and define national goals for the federal bridge program, develop and implement performance measures, identify and evaluate best tools and practices, and review and evaluate funding mechanisms to align funding with performance. GAO closed this recommendation as implemented based on the provisions contained in MAP-21.

text: I have celiac disease and I have told that Spelt is not safe. Apparently, cracked or sprouted wheat and wheat grass is also unsafe. For celiac sufferers it has to do with the gluten protein within these grains. The body attacks the protein like a poison and as a result destroys the celia inside the intestine. I can't even where certain perfumes due to the alcohol contents. Gluten Intolerance, Wheat allergies, and gluten allergies all vary from person to person. But, once it is at the celiac disease level the damage is done and there is no going back. I do have a gluten free sourdough bread recipe.

text: Hailing from Poland, Eryk Kowalczyk (aka Xilent) is the lastest breakthrough star to sign exclusively to AudioPorn Records. Xilent's debut release on the label, 'Choose Me EP', was nothing short of a smash hit. Featuring a Dubstep mix of the underground sensation 'Choose Me', the tune racked up over 15,000 plays in less than a week on his own personal SoundCloud account, as well as over 1 million views on YouTube. In addition, it was selected as Zane Lowe's "Next Hype" track on BBC Radio1, and went to #1 on Beatport's Dubstep Charts, still maintaining its position in the Top 5 nearly three months after release.Earning several industry award nominations including 'Best Newcomer Producer' at the 2011 Drum & Bass Arena Awards and Beatport's Top Dubstep Track of the Year 2011 for 'Choose Me II', it wasn't long until some big names came knocking on Xilent's door for remixes such as J Majik & Wickaman, Ayah Marah, Fuzzy Logic, Excision, and Sub Focus, who personally asked for Xilent to remix his hit single 'Out The Blue'.To many, especially the legions of fans brought to him by the constant patronage of UKF Dubstep, Xilent is the king of a unique Dubstep sound flying in the face of screwface simplicity. With such strength in depth and concentrated technical excellence, Xilent has always been something special and he continues to prove again that the future could not be more exciting.

The True Cost of Desktop Support
Desktop support is something every organisation does using a variety of tools, people and processes, using both trained and qualified staff through to the unsanctioned, and often badly informed "I know someone who can help" approach. In many organisations, it is noticeable how many end users base their entire perception of IT …
Cutting (or at least loosening) the Gordian knot
Virtaully every organisation I've worked for has at one point or another embarked upon the same excerise and when you really start trying to calculate that it can become impossibly difficult. It 's everso easy to keep unravelling the minuatae of every process, work instruction and interaction, for instance; how to you calculate and cross-charge the cost of an engineer's time wasted by a user-inflicted IT issue (such as installing unauthorised software) or by a user who's lied or withheld a crucial nugget of information required to diagnose the fault (c'mon, we've ALL done it!).
I did work for an emplyer who must've eventually worked it out as all of a sudden desktop computer equipment was charged to the budget of the department requesting it (inc. cost of replacements and third-party engineer visits), the same for software too. Departmental projects that required the services of tech support would have to budget for the cost of the bodies they'd need.
However even with a rough idea of the cost and some measures of mitigation so much in a more general sense comes out of the IT budget than really should. Our cost centre used to bear the brunt of the cost of servicing and maintaining infrastructure equipment bought using capex. The reason the equipment had been capexed was that it comprised the core systems everyone used so it shouldn't come from one budget!
While many of the examples I've used admittedly involve shifting wooden dollars around sometime the best method of prepresenting 'The True Cost of IT' s to position the department almost as if it's a contractor, calculating and billing each department for the services and equipment they use. Whatever your approach, first agree a upon a level of detail you won't exceed, one that's managable for you and your business
I thought we called them "Service Desk" now ;)
Ahhhh ITIL, when will you ever deliver any value other than new words and ways of rearranging existing functions into new buckets?
Oh, so it's not my area but the Help Desk metrics that I've seen:
- Time to answer (x% within y-seconds or minutes)
- % resolution at L1
Quality metrics around routing tickets correctly seem to be a popular ask from clients. As someone who owns L3 teams, if i could I'd have a rework metric to slap them upside the head for getting tickets with the dreaded "Default Contact" or not having followed their scripts and/or documented the results (i.e. "mail not working"... WTF does that mean?).
Funny part is that one of my (very large) clients has different outsourcers doing L1, L1.5 (remote desktop management) and L2 (onsite). I have no idea how they account for that, but I'm pretty sure everything other than projects gets dumped into IT
Still missing the mark
There is an iceberg of costs that isn't even mentioned here: Time wasted by employees to work around artificial restricitions.
You want to take home some work but can't, because IT has disabled your USB-Drive? Now you have to zip/crpyt it and send it through email.
You need to find out a certain parameter of your SQL-Server but don't even have the reading rights necessary? Go off, find an admin, file a lawsuit or just ignore the whole matter until the server blows up.
You can drive down the support calls to zero by not allowing your users to do *anything*, but your business will suffer. Throughput is what matters, not cost!
But because the untold wasted minutes for circumventing IT can't be measured, you just ignore the matter altogether. The result can be watched in almost every larger organisation: Loss of intrinsic motivation, loss of throughput (everything seems to take ages), loss of customers. The response: Cost reductions of course!
I can think of another cost not normally accounted for...
What about the psych treatment costs for frontline support people, engendered by having to deal with users all day, every day? Those eventually end up in the company's insurance premiums, don't they? (I wish...)
I'm inclined to suggest help desk staff be rotated, with off-rotation staff assigned to something else. You'll end up with more technically-competent people on the desk more often, because they'll have a chance to learn more about company systems than how to tell a user they've done something stupid without offending them. In turn, fast call resolution will improve. And they'll be less likely to be going through the motions while thinking "I want to dismember you one limb at a time with piano wire," which is likely to be good both for morale on the helldesk and the impression the rest of the company gets when calling in.
I'm tempted to suggest other subdepartments of IT rotate through helpdesk as well, to get a better idea of what's really going on in the field. (avert the SNAFU principle) These people would be the ones in a position to address common global problems instead of having to play whack a mole. But I consider not having to deal with users on a daily basis to be a significant perk of standing slightly higher in the hierarchy, so I think I'll stop short of that.
Paris because she's less irritating than users.
Systems mgmt = win
Whatever the formulaic approach for calculating Helpdesk 'cost', our school district has found to be true, as the author of this article touches on, one of the main factors in taking out much of the guesswork and man hours of going back and forth between end user and IT staff is finding the right systems management tool. There are many options out there, and we decided to deploy KACE since it can be run in a VM, but the luxury of already knowing what every asset on the network, not just limited to desktops, has us flowing through L1's nothing short of an order of magnitude more quickly.
Scaled-back skills
While I agree with a proper system management solution being a necessity (automated network auditing basically), knowing that X user has WinXP with the standard corporate stack installed, and is up-to-date with patches, does not help L1 very much if they're the "less-skilled, cheap" support staff. At that point, L1 becomes merely script-readers and glorified reception/routing staff for the L2s. It is this lack of skill that we all bemoan when we get one of these "did you try rebooting it" people when requesting RMAs and the like.
As for budget accounting charged to the help desk budget: does it serve the helpdesk? An IDS/IPS or firewall isn't a helpdesk cost. Antivirus/malware? Sure. Remote control? Definately. Patch management system? No. Why? That would be desktop management people's responsibility, unless you task your L1s with ensuring desktops are patched up. I don't. Servers? Nope. The ticketing software and system auditing software runs in a VM and has little-attributed cost (besides licensing).

London band, The Unfortunates, host Unlondon, a free one-day festival of literature, music and visual art inspired by the less celebrated side of the capital city. Unappreciated and unknown to many, this is a London of libraries and launderettes, of back streets and betting shops, a city whose very future is under threat as council housing is 'regenerated' out of existence, and as local pubs make way for buy-to-let apartments, sold off-plan to overseas property investors.
Speakers include cult writer and poet Bernard Kops, the inspiration for Mannie Katz in Absolute Beginners; The Bus We Loved author, Travis Elborough; Ken Worpole, whose pioneering study of working class writing, Dockers and Detectives reintroduced Alexander Baron's London classic The Lowlife to a new generation of readers; and Des De Moor, author of the CAMRA Guide to London's Best Beer.

A few weeks back my niece came to visit us. She was here to check out some colleges in the area. While she was here we wanted to give her a tour of the city. We went around and took her to all the toursity "must see" places. Even though we are still new to the area, I swear we are always playing 'tour guide' to those that visit, but I don't mind. Next time around we will take her to all our favorites of course. It was fun to take her to all of these places and I loved having my sister-in-law here too. They are both just so cute. I loved looking through these photos again, and I am already wanting them to come back and visit again! Love these girls, and more on our adventure soon!
Gorgeous photos, as usual! Your posts me want to pack up my bags and move to San Fran right now. Give me a tour when I arrive? ;) haha
Those houses are so cool. Defiantly want to pack my bags and go visit!
I want to visit San Francisco so bad! Looks like you had a great time! :)
be my tour guide!!!
Your pictures always make me jealous that I do not live in SF … if I did I would so be a tour guide for life! Lucky duck, you!
Looks like I need to come visit you and you take me on a tour!!
Oh San Fran, marry me.
I'm dying to visit. What's the best time of year to come?

LE Exploring Glue Prints!
Lower Elementary students have been busy creating all kinds of fantastic glue prints! Each student began by creating a line drawing on cardboard, then applying glue and string to the line work. During the second class, we began the inking process.
Once the ink is applied to the original board, students use a dry brayer to press the inked image onto a clean sheet of paper. There is a feeling of cooperation between the students and peer teaching and assistance exists each step of the way!
The objective of this lesson is to create original work and become more proficient in the preparation and process of print making. Students were all enthusiastic and everyone participated
