Bac exams kick off in Tunisia
By Mona Yahia for Magharebia in Tunis – 05/06/09
Finally, baccalaureate exams are under way in Tunisia. Students have been studying and reviewing materials for such a long time that it is a relief to finally be answering actual bac questions, many said.
On Wednesday (June 3rd), more than 139,000 students around the country sat through the first exam; parents lined up outside exam centres in anticipation, waiting to hear how their children did.
"I will not rest until exams are over and my son succeeds," said Zainab, the mother of one of the candidates in the science branch. "Although I'm terrified, I try not to show him that so he will not lose concentration."
On the first day, students sat for philosophy and third foreign language exams for all branches. After the exams, they had different reactions as to how it went. These courses are vital to arts students but rather marginal for science students.
Overall, the day went well for many students.
"The questions were easy and hardly surprising," said Doha, a math student.
Riyad, a biology student, said he studied well, and that helped him answer the question, "though this is not a course I am particularly interested in, but it offers a good chance to boost my score".
Amal, a teacher, affirmed that philosophy topics were not tough and involved no surprises. The exam tackled three major areas that students studied all year long.
Tunisian Minister of Education, Hatem ben Salem, toured some of the exam centres on Wednesday to oversee how the exams were going. He thought the questions were not hard and that average students will do very well this year.
"I am expecting high rates of success, given the outstanding results achieved by most bac students in all branches all year long."
Ben Salem said that the exams are prepared in conformity with well-studied standards, which his ministry is keen on implementing. A special committee, made up of academics, professors, and supervisors of secondary education, is in charge of selecting questions for these exams.
Exam centres prepared days ahead. Some even threw reception parties for candidates, with food and drinks, to shake off their fear.
That worked well, Mo'ez, an economics and management student, said. It helped ease the tension before the exam, at least for him, he said.
"We have trained candidate students, especially because that they are young," one principal said. "We held meetings for them on more than one occasion to explain a few things."
Professors and supervisors at exam centres are on alert, looking for cheaters or any suspicious moves inside classrooms. Posters on the walls warned against cheating, smoking, using cell phones, or audio players.
For students with special needs, the ministry of education and exam centres took several measures to make the experience as smooth and easy as possible, such as giving extra time to answer the questions, providing students to help write the answers, or providing Braille technology for the visually impaired.

The Ultimate Commitment?Cats: branding, compulsive masturbation, guided masturbation, penises| No Comments »
You may know from my Niteflirt listings that I specialize in hypnotic stroking sessions. I don't call it hypnosis or use the word "hypnotic", but that's what they are, me reqeating a few key phrases in my naturally hypnotic voice, and perhaps the client experiencing a little bit of tranciness.
There are guys out there who find repetitiveness highly erotic. Some have their own key phrases, and some wish to follow mine. And some of those guys are looking for stroking sessions, where that's what we talk about, stroking.
And then there are clients like my regular stroking and edging fan, who has decided what he really needs to do is roughen up the head of his penis in order to form a callous on it, to make it less sensitive. He loves to have me encouraging him to do this, sometimes for hours. But he came up with what would have to be an ultimate extreme idea.
He wants to brand the head of his penis with my initial. In fact, he tried to bend a paper clip to use, but ultimately was convinced that he needs to buy one of those little leatherworking branding irons to do the job right. So it had to be postponed while he purchased that item.
This is gonna hurt.

By Ivy Dong, Jeremiah Radel, Dawn Wesenberg
Reaching the end of your college career is an exciting time. For senior, Molly Jagla, a human resources management major from Ironwood, Michigan, who is graduating in May, the feeling is of excitement and nervousness. "I am excited because I won't have to come to classes every day, and then do homework at night." she explains, "But I am nervous because I am not yet sure where I will end up living or where I will be working." Mixed emotions as graduation approaches is only normal as a student defines where he or she fits in the world.
Molly JaglaUW-Eau Claire Student
To help her prepare for her future, Jagla, a human resource management major, joined SHRM, the student chapter for Human Resource Management. "Through SHRM, I have met a lot of people in my major which has helped me through some of my classes," said Jagla. "Our guest speakers have given us a more realistic view of what to expect when we enter the real world."
Jagla credits the ongoing support she received from her family and friends for helping her make it to graduation. She also believes she made it this far because she set goals for herself along the way. One last goal she hopes to accomplish before she graduates is passing her PHR (Professional in Human Resources) certification exam in May.
Although Jagla hasn't received a job offer yet, she is interviewing with a number of companies. Eventually, she hopes her college experience and involvement in SHRM will help her secure a position in human resources or recruiting. She would like to work her way up the corporate ladder to a position as director of HR or recruiting.
Jagla has some parting advice for upcoming freshman and graduates. For future college students she states, "Study hard, but don't let studying be your life." Her advice for those approaching their final year: "Don't worry too much about what you will do after you graduate, it is important to just enjoy the time you have."
Jagla transferred to the UW-Eau Claire from a technical college in her hometown of Ironwood, MI. "My boyfriend came here first," she explained, "I liked the area so I decided to move as well." Although she attended UW-Eau Claire for a short 2½ years, she enjoyed her time here and is proud to be a Blugold. "I will always remember my experience at UW-Eau Claire," she said.
Ivy Dong is a senior accounting student from New Richmond, WI; Jeremiah Radel is a senior marketing major from Spring Green, WI; and Dawn Wesenberg is a senior management major from Hartland, WI.

People with eating disorders usually are preoccupied with weight, food, calories, and dieting.
The following warning signs could indicate that you or someone you love may have an eating disorder:
Anorexia can often be diagnosed by a person's refusal to maintain a normal weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, or an abnormal perception and preoccupation of body weight or shape.
People with anorexia could experience the following symptoms:
Persons with bulimia often eat abnormally large portions of food in short bursts. They often feel a sense of shame and lack of control afterward. To compensate for these feelings, they make themselves throw up, misuse laxatives, starve themselves, or exercise excessively. Their feelings of self-worth are often based on their weight and shape.
Bulimia is associated with many of the same dangers found in anorexia, such as:
In many people, an eating disorder could indicate another psychological problem, including obsessive-compulsive disorder , depression, anxiety, social phobias, substance abuse, borderline personality disorders, and bipolar disorder.
Someone with an eating disorder often has difficulties in other areas of day-to-day living as well. An eating disorder can affect one's ability to perform a job, relate to family and friends, be intimate with a partner, or maintain social contacts.
People develop eating disorders for a variety of reasons. Some people may feel pressured by society and the media to be thin. Other people may have feelings of low self-esteem or avoid pressing problems, and then establish destructive eating patterns to gain a sense of self-control. For others, there may be an underlying psychological condition. For successful treatment, it's extremely important for the person with an eating disorder to develop a support network of qualified professionals and caring friends and family.

Obama's Same-sex Marriage Ring Leader
Justice Secretary Eric Holder was already held in contempt of Congress -- but a Supreme Court reprimand may not be far behind. Regardless of where the justices fall on the question of same-sex "marriage," they probably had to pick their jaws up off the floor after the country's chief law enforcer put the Court's latest marriage decisions through the paper shredder and promised to validate Utah's same-sex "weddings" after the Court's stay on counterfeit marriages. In plain rebellion to the justices' June ruling, Holder announced that DOJ would take matters into its own hands and offer more than 1,000 federal benefits to couples, who, under state law, aren't even legally married!
Back in December, Judge Robert Shelby took a wild leap, declaring Utah's marriage amendment unconstitutional -- a leap the Supreme Court put on hold until the appeals court could weigh in. In a video statement Friday, Holder took the administration's lawlessness to shocking heights, vowing that he would do what Utah and the Supreme Court would not: "I am confirming today that for purposes of federal law these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages." The administration's announcement came just two days after Utah officials put these benefits on ice, explaining that they would exhaust their legal options before trampling on the will of 66% of state voters.
Even the mainstream media seemed taken aback at Holder's overreach. "What is unusual about the attorney general's action," wrote one reporter, "is that the government routinely waits until an issue has been fully litigated to a final resolution before it takes action rewarding one side in the litigation." It's unclear, he went on, how the Attorney General could "find a constitutional right the Supreme Court has not yet recognized." In truth, Holder is doing the exact opposite of what justices ordered, which is to honor "state sovereign choices about who may be married."
This twist is more than a little ironic, especially since President Obama has always insisted that he supports states' rights on marriage. Apparently, he's "evolved" on that too. While the administration takes a torch to the 10th Amendment, Utah officials are still trying to sort out the legal mess. Their job just got a lot more complicated now that Holder has elevated himself above the Supreme Court, Congress, Governor Gary Herbert, and Utah voters. "This is another example of the Obama administration's disrespect for the rule of law," fumed Rep. John Fleming (R-La.). "States must be permitted to not recognize same-sex marriage if they so choose, without being trampled on by the federal courts and the Obama administration."
Congressman Joe Pitts was equally furious, citing the obvious political motivation behind the decision. The administration "should have allowed the court to rule before making this decision." For Republicans, this is exactly the ammunition they need to push Rep. Randy Weber's (R-Texas) State Marriage Defense Act, introduced last week to protect voters from lawless oversteps like Holder's. Without it, the administration's contempt for the law and the basic democratic process is what makes states like Utah vulnerable. Under Rep. Weber's bill, the federal government could no longer barge in to states and stomp all over their marriage amendments. Instead of undermining state laws, the federal government would be bound by them.
If the President won't respect states' authority, Congress will force him to. As FRC's Leanna Baumer points out in a new op-ed on the subject, every American -- regardless of their opinion on marriage -- should agree that this kind of administrative chaos hurts the democratic process. And until something is done to rein in this President, let this be a warning to every state that under this administration their laws are fair game. To stop this kind of lawlessness from coming to your home state, contact your representative and ask him to sponsor Congressman Weber's bill.
Standing at the Gates of History
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates spills plenty of secrets in his new book -- but the President's obsession with repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" isn't one of them. Anyone who followed the debate over open homosexuality in the military could see the White House's fierce determination to overturn the policy -- no matter what it meant for our troops and our nation's security. In fact, Gates says, when it came to the military, DADT was probably the only issue the President was truly emotional about. The former Defense boss was surprised by President Obama's general indifference, especially after working for George W. Bush.
"One quality I missed in Obama was passion, especially when it came to the two wars. In my presence, Bush... was passionate about the war on Iraq; on occasion... I would see his eyes well up. I worked longer for Obama than Bush, and I never saw his eyes well up." He writes that "the only military matter, apart from the leaks, about which I ever sensed deep passion on his part was 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' (DADT). For him, changing the law seemed to be the inevitable next step in the civil rights movement."
Although Gates objected to ramming the change through Congress, the book exposes a great failure on the author's part not to do something about it. The former Secretary should have lived up to the book's title and done his duty to the troops entrusted to his care. By not having the nerve to speak up on issues that put lives on the line, Gates presided over one of the most devastating political attacks on our troops in modern history. That's not leadership.
True leaders like Lt. Gen. Benjamin Mixon (USA-Ret.) understand that. The Army's Pacific Commander in 2011 put his three stars on the line to speak frankly about his reservations on the repeal of DADT. While others stood in the shadows, Gen. Mixon -- knowing it could cost him his job -- went to bat for his brave men and women in uniform publishing an open letter in the Stars and Stripes newspaper. The response from the Pentagon was swift and severe. Gates, who now says he objected to the timetable, could have defended Mixon -- or at the very least, stayed quiet. Instead, he ripped into Mixon for not keeping his objections to himself.
Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, was so upset that he sought the General's resignation. A three-star general, he said, should never use his influence to buck the President. "The answer," Mullen fumed, "is not advocacy; it is in fact to vote with your feet." General Mixon wasn't fired for raising the issue, but his career ended. This is the kind of courage that inspires men to follow leaders into the fiercest of battles. Unfortunately for our troops, that type of leadership is being driven from the ranks of today's military brass.
Little Sisters Still Bullied by Big Brother
After two years of duking it out over religious liberty, the courts and public polling seem to be firmly on the right side of the health care mandate. Now, it looks like the mainstream media is moving in our direction too. Newspapers like USA Today may be late to the party, but its latest op-ed on HHS's abortifacient-contraception mandate shows the deep splinters in the administration's coalition. For the first time in two years, editors are calling the mandate a "political loser," openly blasting the President's rule as "constitutionally suspect," "foolish," and "unproductive."
When the administration tried to cushion the blow of forcing Americans to pay for health care they morally opposed, FRC called the accommodation a "fig leaf." USA Today agrees, using our same language from 2012 to describe the mandate's arm-twisting against groups like Little Sisters of the Poor. "...[T]he administration wrote the rules so narrowly," USA Today explains in Monday's edition, "that they failed to exempt Catholic and other religiously affiliated hospitals, colleges, and charities... If the nonprofits refuse to sign, they face ruinous fines -- $4.5 million a year -- for just two of the Little Sisters' 30 homes."
On March 25, both Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties will plead their case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Based on the brief filed by our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom, the penalties of refusing the mandate could cost Conestoga Wood up to $95,000 a day -- more than enough to sink the company long-term. "The members of the Hahn family, as Mennonite Christians, practice their faith in everything they do, including the running of their business."
Like us, they see work as an extension of their religious ethic. And, as Rep. Diane Black's (R-Tenn.) Health Care Conscience Act acknowledges, that extension deserves just as much protection as the people behind it. If you haven't already, contact your House leaders and encourage them to get behind the efforts to make Black's bill a reality.

Blending as Next Step in Phonics
If a child already knows the letters and the sounds that they make, what is the next logical step for them? I have read so many different theories (i.e., word families, dolch words, etc.). I could really use the guidance.
There are many different theories out there and many testimonials as to what works and what doesn't. Let me add mine to the mix, and then you can choose which reading approach you want to start with. I'm a preschool teacher and have taught reading for 9 years. Every year I have 99 percent of my kids reading on or around a first grade level when they leave and start Kindergarten, so I at least know that this approach works. Others can work as well, this is just the best way that I've found.
So for what it's worth: I think blending is the next logical step. By blending I mean, learning a series of letters and sounds, and then blending those into simple phonetic words. I start with the letters m, a, p, s, and t. I can then blend those letters into words like: map, sap, sat, mat, pat, at, Pam, Sam, etc. I then continue to learn new letters and then apply them immediately to my blending game, learning new words as I go. Many teachers teach the alphabet letters and sounds and say, "OK, now read." But if they don't know how to blend those sounds into words, learning the alphabet is just a fun song to sing. And you don't have to learn all 26 letters of the alphabet in order to start blending and reading. Learn a letter and sound and then learn how to apply it in a word. Learning 26 letters and sounds in a row can be very boring after about the fifth letter or so, but if they know they are learning a letter that they can then use to help them read, it's a lot more fun and productive.
Here are few other ideas that might help. I like to think of as many blending games as I can use a set of cards that have the letters that they know on them. I hold them in my hand and let them pick three cards and lay them out. Then we sound out what they picked. Sometimes they're nonsense words, but they get the idea that I want them to read what they picked. Then I reverse it and I pick three cards. We play this game back and forth several times and they hear and see me read what I picked. Seeing me do it often helps them understand what I'm trying to get them to do.
Another blending trick I use that often helps them hear the difference between sounding out each letter and blending them into words is to read a very familiar book to them (or at least a page of it) sounding out each letter as I go. This has to be a very familiar book that they know and can instantly recognize that this is not how the book should be read. They can hear the difference between sounding out each letter and blending those letters into words.
Repetition is the key here. Playing and inventing lots of blending games will help your child develop confidence in his/her reading skills. Keeping it fun will make them want to "play" again. Good luck and enjoy the process of working with your child.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Two sure signs of spring are emerging this month: asparagus and farmers markets.
The Virginia Farm Bureau says the stalky vegetable is one of the first to appear each spring. At K&J Farms in Mathews County, growers Karen and John Weaver say their asparagus should be ready for market next week. They sell their asparagus at the Williamsburg Farmers Market, which has already opened for the season.
Some farm markets remain open through the year, selling honey, maple syrup and other agricultural products. Among those markets opening this month are operations in Orange County, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Radford and Tappahannock.

The focus of this year´s edition is to investigate the "International experience and language learning". The survey for the first time also explores full-degree mobility. Additionally we explore the added value and satisfaction with student organisations. More than 22 000 respondents makes the results very valid and worth paying attention to.
Traveling and residing within the European Union's borders is relatively easy and in theory the free movement of persons is a fundamental right guaranteed to EU citizens. The story changes substantially when one would like to enter from countries outside the EU. Citizens from privileged and prosperous countries can often enter the EU rather easily. Citizens from less affluent countries often ace much greater hurdles and many that do not come from a rich parental background might be deterred from the beginning and not even start the process of entering into the European Union.
The analysis shows that around 9.0% of students that have taken a full degree abroad encounter problems with the recognition of their degree. Comparing this result to the persistently challenging situation of credit recognition, the results draw a quantitatively less problematic picture. The consequences of non-recognition of a whole degree can, however, be far more severe for the individual. Likewise, the survey cannot capture all problems with recognition as many may still face recognition issues in the future.
ESNSurvey 2013 is titled "Creating Ideas, Opportunities and Identity". The focus of this year´s edition is to investigate the employability of mobile and non-mobile students and show the beneficial effects of going abroad. With the survey we hope to provide further evidence and insight. The survey also explores the impact of student mobility on entrepreneurship and European citizenship and gives insight into students´ satisfaction with ESN and other student organisations.
Brussels (14/02/2013) – The Erasmus Student Network, AEGEE-Europe, the European University Foundation-Campus Europae, and Fraternité 2020 today made known their response to the European Council's decision on the future EU long-term budget, which saw an unanticipated cut for the new "Erasmus for All" programme.
Article from Go Overseas about rosources for international students going to Italay.
Erasmus Student Network (ESN) exprime son inquiétude au sujet du déficit budgétaire toujours non résolu du programme Erasmus en 2012 et 2013. ESN invite le Parlement Européen et le Conseil à se mettre d'accord sur un budget viable pour le programme Erasmus en particulier, et pour le programme Education et Formation tout au long de la vie dans son ensemble afin de remplir les obligations envers les étudiants en échange, actuels et futurs.
The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) expresses its concerns about the still unsolved budget deficit of the Erasmus programme in 2012 and 2013. ESN urges the European Parliament and the Council to agree on a viable budget for the Erasmus programme in particular and the Lifelong Learning Programme as a whole to fulfill the obligations towards current and future exchange students.
The final dissemination conference of the 2012/2013 flagship project of the Erasmus Student Network aims at showcasing how volunteers with little financial support can create substantial added value to local communities.

Spray Park Features
Spray parks–also known as wet playgrounds–are gaining in popularity. They offer safe fun for everyone, including people afraid of the water and those with disabilities, as well as younger children who want the security of being able to see their parents while maintaining independent play. An added benefit of spray parks is the low water depth, which eliminates the hazard of drowning. If your park is considering developing or redesigning, there are a few things to consider. First, find a … Continue reading

Creating Treasure Maps At Camp
I once made a treasure map full of movie images because I wanted to become involved and work with film festivals. The following year, I obtained prominent positions with two festivals. Another time, I placed a picture of a beautiful fireplace on my treasure map, and now I have one. On a more recent map, I placed pictures of some of my favorite creative people–Alfred Hitchcock, Walt Disney and Andy Kaufman. At the time I did not know what I … Continue reading
Walking Workshops
Experts tell us the first step in becoming an environmentalist is noticing what nature offers. Such observation often leads to a desire and commitment to conserve and protect the natural world. Walking or hiking through the woods is a regular part of camp. However, many times staff and campers merely walk along the trail without really noticing what is around them. They overlook the sounds, sights, textures and diversity of the ecosystem. There are several interesting activities that can be … Continue reading

Berwick Rangers have given up in their attempt to sign former Clyde and Dundee full back Eddie Malone, who played recently for them as a trialist against Arbroath. Malone, who played for Morton on a similar basis recently, looks set to sign for Ayr United where he has also played as a trialist.

Mary's Recipe For Social Equality
- Comments (11)

''Hard work and excellence are essential for every success story. Always strive for the top and you would make it. Your race and your gender can only be limiting factors if you are mediocre,'' I over heard Mary Ngwena telling a group of teenage girls, as I approached her kitchen. With no celebrity status, she is a perfect example of what I describe as a woman of purpose, an inspiring grassroots leader. One who has affected the lives of hundreds of women in her community.
An educationist and president of the Christian Women's Fellowship group of the Presbyterian Church in her locality, Mary is determined not to let any woman remain with the belief she is meant just for the backyard. I never had the opportunity to go to secondary school and university, but I fought my way through and got my education through correspondence in my marital home while bearing children. I made this certificate between the labor room and the examination hall,'' she explains, brandishing a London College of Preceptors certificate. ''The exams were written on the same day I had my last baby. She was born at 4am and I sat for the exams at 9am.''. Putting down the piece of paper, she rolls up her sleeves and continues whisking eggs while answering my questions. Her leadership in the women's group has transformed the lives of many women who thought they were too old to succeed.
Heading a church group of over six hundred women from all walks of life, her goal has been to empower the jobless by granting them loans to indulge in income generating activities of their choice and to encourage those who are intelligent and enthusiastic about studies to further their education. Thanks to her influence, more than thirty of these women have been transformed from full time housewives to teachers, nurses and secretaries and journalists while a good number are running lucrative businesses. Besides her teaching job, she does sewing, knitting, hairdressing and large scale farming. ''An ideal Christian woman should be like the virtuous woman in the Book of Proverbs 31 in the Bible. One who makes her husband and community proud by being industrious. If he prevents you from working out of home, dig deep where you are and bring out the precious stones. He will marvel at your capabilities,'' Mary declares with a tone of certainty while looking at me intently. In her opinion it is only when women would prove their worth to men that they shall be emancipated. She calls on women to seek to be collaborative with men and not competitive. Nagging, crying, and complaining without attempting solutions to challenges will instead aggravate the problem of gender inequality, but working hard to swell bank accounts and increase knowledge is an automatic solution. She is currently drafting a proposal to forward to the Ministry of Basic Education, introducing Gender Studies at the primary school level, to propagate the idea that men and women are born equal. "This would help curb any form of chauvinism in children at their tender ages and enable the girls to see themselves as normal human beings capable of delving into any field in life." Mary says she is not comfortable with text books that assign particular professions to men only and others to women only. ''That explains why we have just one female pilot in Cameroon,'' she laments. Three of the female orphans she is sponsoring including her last daughter, are studying physics at university level. She says her dream is to see one of them get into piloting.
At age 55, Mary Ngwena has brought up 13 orphans under her roof alongside six biological children and three grand children. I met her teaching a group of teenage girls how to bake banana cakes, at the same time giving them pieces of advice.
She prefers impacting society from her home and church than creating an organization. She says she feels more motherly to orphans when they are raised under her roof than putting them in an orphanage. She prefers taking a few at a time and giving them quality home training. She expresses gratitude to her husband who has always played the role of a good father to the orphans and given her the chance to evolve from a primary school graduate to what she is today. "We supplement and complement each other. That is the secret of our success." Mary says a good and stable home is the best gift parents can offer their children, so part of her advice to the women she meets constantly is for them to do their utmost best in making their homes peaceful and stable. ''A woman's first assignment is to take proper care of her husband and children. Any other thing is secondary," Mary states with her index finger raised .She encourages the kind of leadership that succeeds at home then extends to the community. She thinks a woman who succeeds as a good mother would definitely make a good leader.
Mary, a role model of an African woman is as busy in her kitchen as she is in her classroom, office and church . From a problem to a problem solver, Mary leaves an indelible impression in the minds of all who come her way. Tapping my back, she made a powerful statement which concluded my ten minutes interview with her and moved towards her oven to check on the cakes she was baking. ''We were each created to be a solution to a problem, so brighten the corner where you are by solving any problem you can solve.''
This article is part of a writing assignment for Voices of Our Future, which is providing rigorous web 2.0 and new media training for 30 emerging women leaders. We are speaking out for social change from some of the most unheard regions of the world.
Brighten the Corner Where You Are
Shekina, Thanks for intoducing us to Mary. Her clearheaded determination can really make a difference in her community. She gave birth at 4:00 am and then sat exams at 9:00 am? Is there anything she cannot do?
Shekina ! What a
Shekina !
What a awe-inspiring women you choose to highlight ! You write beautifully my sis ...
She is currently drafting a proposal to forward to the Ministry of Basic Education, introducing Gender Studies at the primary school level, to propagate the idea that men and women are born equal.
This is something all countries should aspire to do - I commend her for taking the lead !
Great work sister !
Mary's Recipe
Dear Shekina,
The last paragraph of your profile is especially strong. We should all copy out the last quote and read it daily.
I like the way you are create the image of a woman who speaks with a journalist but does not stop whisking her eggs during the interview. In the same way, Mary dispenses advice while teaching a lesson on baking banana bread at the same time. These are good concrete examples that build Mary's profile
Your sister,
Jan Askin
what a woman!
Hello, Shekina--
You have painted a portrait that is multi-dimensional-- so I really feel I know Mary. She certainly has well grounded opinions, a huge amount of energy for others, and she has a foundation in her healthy marriage and family that empowers her.
I too liked the image of her whisking eggs while giving advice and engaging in an interview -- but then again, that is the way we are, as women, isn't it?
Nice portrait.
Speaking my Peace
A woman to admire
Hello Shekina,
Mary is a remarkable woman, and I so enjoyed reading about her. How clever she is at doing her more traditional woman's work of cooking, and at the same time teaching and mentoring. She has captured the importance of having men as allies vs. enemies. What a woman, and thanks for telling her story for us to read.
Great job!
Great first assignment Shekina! I love how you close with her quote, which is very positive and solutions oriented. Through your writing, I can definitely envision a feisty woman working away in her kitchen, baking cakes and lecturing young girls. One question I have though-do you think it poses a problem that she both wants to empower women, but also thinks the first/most important place for women is in supporting her husband and family? How can we reconcile that?
Keep up the good work!
"In every human heart there are a few passions that last a lifetime. They're with us from the moment we're born, and nothing can dilute their intensity." Rob Brezny

USI announces Volunteer of the Year
A three-year volunteer to USI's productions at Lincoln Amphitheatre, Ms. Alcorn assists the cast and crew, paints and builds sets, assists with costumes, and performs other various tasks donating 10-15 hours per day during the summer theatre season. She is a unique volunteer and USI's youngest at 12 years old.
In 1999, Ms. Alcorn was recognized for her role in the acting company as USI's youngest volunteer at 11 years old.
In addition to helping behind the scenes, Ms. Alcorn's interest in acting manifested in serving as an understudy for multiple roles during the summer 2000 season. Her desire to act was fulfilled when one of the understudy roles became available. Ms. Alcorn played the role of Matilda Johnston in Young Abe Lincoln for the last month of the show.
"Meredith is willing to volunteer for anything to learn," said Mr. Elliot Wasserman, associate professor of theatre. "She has a wonderful, cheerful attitude and has made a lot of progress developing into a good actress."
In addition to her volunteer efforts, Ms. Alcorn plays soccer and is in the All-City Middle School Honors Choir. A year ago, she created her own pet care service called "Mere Bear's Pet Care." Ms. Alcorn cares for animals while the owners are on vacation. She is the daughter of two USI graduates, Nick '83 and Bonnie '84 Alcorn and has two brothers, Tim and Cregg.
Ms. Alcorn has donated 726 volunteer hours during two summers at the Lincoln Amphitheatre.
Since 1996, over 2,200 volunteers have donated 288,643 hours to various USI programs and departments. Calculated at minimum wage, volunteers have contributed over $1.5 million in services since July 1996.
The USI volunteer program is sponsored by the Volunteer USI Advisory Council and Office of Alumni and Volunteer Services.

District provides amazing opportunities, deserves support
I serve as chairman of the Chandler School Override Yes Committee. As a parent of two students here in Chandler, I have witnessed first hand the amazing breadth of educational opportunities offered by Chandler Unified School District, and I have observed the hard work our dedicated teachers perform on a daily basis. My past work on the budget and bond committees afforded me the opportunity to observe the superlative leadership of the district which has been wise and frugal with its spending yet insightful and creative with its vision for the future.
The district has kept faith with the public by managing itself like a business. When times were better the district did not spend every dollar available to them, they saved up money and built a contingency fund. Passage of this override will help the district replenish its contingency fund and plan for its future.
CUSD is a district in which the entire community can take pride. The district has been sagacious in the use of past overrides and bonds. Please join us in voting "Yes" on the override and help to cement a secure future for Chandler Schools.
Jim Bishop
People can be proud of district
I volunteer as a member of the Chandler Schools Override Yes Committee and a Co-PTO President of an elementary school in the Chandler Unified School District. I am a parent of two school aged children here in Chandler and am continually inspired and amazed at the hard work and dedication that I witness from all the teachers and staff at our schools. I have lived in Arizona my entire life and completed all of my schooling through graduating from college from our educational institutions. I have experienced first hand the devastating effects of the loss of talented teachers in our schools due to the continual budget cuts that occur to education in our state. It distresses me that my children may have to experience the same loss that I did and is one of the primary reasons our family has chosen to live in this district.
I commend our Chandler Unified School District for striving for continual excellence as shown by another A rating for a district of our size. Our district has worked diligently to manage itself like a business and to save money to build a contingency fund and not spend every dollar provided. Passage of this override will help the district to make up for the loss in state funding and replenish its contingency fund so it can plan for our future.
It will also facilitate a small raise for our much deserving teachers.
Every member of our community should be proud of our district, vote yes.
Elicia Bivins
District prepares students for success
I have lived in Chandler since I was in grade school, and am a 1995 graduate of Chandler High School, which prepared me well for Stanford University, where I earned two degrees. The broad-based, challenging education I received in Chandler helped inspire me to community service, so, after earning my Master's Degree, I returned home to Chandler and my chosen field of non-profit work, serving as Executive Director/lICAN, Vice President /Valley of the Sun United Way, and currently as Executive Director/Chandler Christian Community Center.
Chandler Unified School District has earned our trust.
Judicious use of taxpayers' money has built a school district which perennially receives accolades. A YES vote for the Override will help CUSD continue its long-term commitment to educating tomorrow's leaders.
I have had the privilege of serving on Chandler's City Council for two terms, including as your Vice Mayor. I strongly believe that one of my primary responsibilities is to foster a bright, sustainable future for Chandler. The health of a school district is a reflection of the health of the City. CUSD's Override money will benefit our entire community. Vote YES for Chandler, YES for future leaders. Vote YES on November 6th!
Trinity Donovan
Chandler City Council Member
District delivers a quality education
I am a retiree choosing to live in Chandler. I find the climate and community to be a perfect fit for me. I believe one of the greatest assets of our community is the Chandler Unified School District. Though retired, I serve on the CUSD budget committee and Chandler Education Foundation Board of Directors. Through my involvement, I have garnered a deep sense of respect for the way the district manages its resources. I have a profound feeling of pride in the caliber of education provided by CUSD.
Public Education is an American tradition. We as a country achieved our place in the world as a direct result of our educational system. I am indebted to others for the education my children and the education my grandchildren are now receiving. I want future generations to have the same opportunities which were made available to us. Please join me in supporting the Chandler School Override this November.
Let's invest in our children, they are our best hope for the future.
Marvin Arnpriester
Let's make sure funding is first-rate
Please vote "Yes" on the override. The facts are pretty simple. Chandler Unified School District has received the prestigious "A" rating from the state for two straight years.
These outstanding educational opportunities come at a bargain price. Even with the override, those who live in Chandler will pay far lower taxes than most East Valley residents.
Everyone benefits from a successful and highly performing school district. I am thankful for the first rate education my sons are receiving. Join me in helping CUSD remain the finest district in the state by voting "Yes" on the override this November.

Mother of Two CUSD students, Chandler

Hosts, Reporters and Producers
Tom Gjelten
Tom Gjelten covers a wide variety of global security and economic issues for NPR News. He brings to that assignment many years covering international news from posts in Washington and around the world.
Gjelten's overseas reporting experience includes stints in Mexico City as NPR's Latin America correspondent from 1986 to 1990 and in Berlin as Central Europe correspondent from 1990 to 1994. During those years, he covered the wars in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Colombia, as well as the Gulf War of 1990-1991 and the wars in Croatia and Bosnia.
With other NPR correspondents, Gjelten described the transitions to democracy and capitalism in Eastern Europe and the breakup of the Soviet Union. His reporting from Sarajevo from 1992 to 1994 was the basis for his book Sarajevo Daily: A City and Its Newspaper Under Siege (HarperCollins), praised by the New York Times as "a chilling portrayal of a city's slow murder." He is also the author of Professionalism in War Reporting: A Correspondent's View (Carnegie Corporation) and a contributor to Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know (W. W. Norton).
Prior to his current assignment, Gjelten covered U.S. diplomacy and military affairs, first from the State Department and then from the Pentagon. He was reporting live from the Pentagon at the moment it was hit on September 11, 2001, and he was NPR's lead Pentagon reporter during the war in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq. Gjelten has also reported extensively from Cuba in recent years, visiting the island more than a dozen times. His 2008 book, Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause (Viking), is a unique history of modern Cuba, told through the life and times of the Bacardi rum family. The New York Times selected it as a "Notable Nonfiction Book," and the Washington Post, Kansas City Star, and San Francisco Chronicle all listed it among their "Best Books of 2008."
Since joining NPR in 1982 as labor and education reporter, Gjelten has won numerous awards for his work. His 1992 series "From Marx to Markets," documenting the transition to market economics in Eastern Europe, won an Overseas Press Club award for "Best Business or Economic Reporting in Radio or TV." His coverage of the wars in the former Yugoslavia earned Gjelten the Overseas Press Club's Lowell Thomas Award, a George Polk Award and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. He was part of the NPR teams that won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for Sept. 11 coverage and a George Foster Peabody Award for coverage of the war in Iraq. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In addition to reporting for NPR, Gjelten is a regular panelist on the PBS program Washington Week and serves on the editorial board of World Affairs Journal. A graduate of the University of Minnesota, he began his professional career as a public school teacher and a freelance writer.

Yes I took a divit out of my knuckle
nice vids as always salty. I am interested to hear your comparison of the ks and the honyaki.
After a few vids and some time on the line I'm going to give a full comparison report.
Damn. Just when I was starting to think I was pretty fast, you put this up...
I love the rolling cukes. Not only does the blade release the food, it set the food in motion.

So how would you modify the grind to keep those slices from rolling around the table and hitting the camera? j/k. Impressive chopping.
I wouldn't. I'd adjust my technique. There was a reason I left the camera on the board.

Hi Dr. Lam,
I received a double dose of botox for the jawline from a board certified plastic surgeon on May 31, 2010, and though it's been 4.5 months, the results seem nonexistent. When I bite down, I can still feel that the masseter muscle is rather hard. Is it possible that a) the final result has yet to set in, b) I am not a good candidate for this procedure and results will always be to minimal to notice, or c) the first time just didn't take? Would it be worthwhile to try it again?
Thank you for your time!

8 Must-Have Makeup Brushes

By Kristin Ambrosino
It's easy to mix up powder brushes and blusher brushes! Blusher brushes are usually rounder, with a smaller handle and shorter bristles. Use this brush to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, which you can see easily by smiling! For bronzer, lightly sweep the color around your temples.

Q: In some cases, especially in the early stages of his/her career, a photographer takes a job because the money is great and they can execute the assignment very well, but it's not in the direction in which they wish to steer their career. For example, if the photog's interest is shooting portraits and lifestyle, he/she might take on a commission shooting a wedding, a menu, or an architectural project just to be able to make rent.

Illustration is one of those subjects where clients have a hard time understanding the price structure, since there are no hard costs to accommodate pricing, like hard drives, equipment rental, etc. The best way to validate your worth for a job is to base it on industry standards for illustration projects similar to what you're doing for your client.
The Graphic Artists Guild is a great starting place to justify what rates are acceptable in the marketplace right now. The problem is, editorial and other publications tend to pay editorial rates, not advertising rates, and these rates can be half the costs of an advertising project.
October 4, 2012 @ 2 p.m. in The Business Lab by Heather Elder | Heather Elder Represents View Comments
When a photographer creates a professional contract, whether it's an invoice or an estimate, it is very important that it be clearly written and include all relevant information. Often we refer to contracts months or even years later, so the more information included, the better.
As we all know, the digital distribution of imagery has exploded in recent years.
Where "digital rights" may have once referred primarily to first-party web usage, today that phrase could cover everything from traditional banner ads and website usage to social media, email blasts, tablet and mobile editions, games and other interactive media, kiosks and multi-touch exhibits, apps, e-books, downloads, webcasts and more.
"Fairness" is one of my favorite words, especially when it comes to estimating a project. Since there is no standard list of prices that work for every client or company, negotiating in a professional, tactful way is key.
Once I know the scope of the project and also the requiring rights, I then gauge the amount of time and work involved for the illustrator and/or motion graphics artist. This should give me a pretty good idea of what the budget should be … what's "fair" for the amount of work and usage.
The best way to answer this question is to address the possible scenarios that can prevent a photographer from landing an assignment, along with important points to consider when communicating with your client and structuring your estimate.
The topics of fees and buyouts have always been hot ones in this industry. I think it's a real shame that equipment has gotten more expensive and the fees and compensation have stayed the same or decreased since 2000. While everyone loves the convenience of digital, it has created more and more loss for the professional photographer. We are seeing more out-bidding by less-experienced photographers giving away all rights while the professional is trying to stand his or her ground. So, what's the best way to negotiate to be fairly compensated?
Creating an accurate estimate is the best thing you can do for the client, your own illustration business and the industry. Even though no two estimates are the same, most can still follow a general outline for what should be included. Here is a list of questions to ask your potential client to help create an accurate estimate that fulfills both their expectations and your needs.
As is the case with so many aspects of our industry, there are not many hard and fast rules when it comes to estimating fees. So much depends on the final number and the reasons for the wide swings in prices vary from project to project and photographer to photographer.
When a client calls us to license an image for stock use, here are a few ways we determine the price:
