Newsletter Number 6 Dear Cedar House Families 7 June 2010 We have had a great Term and hope to, in this newsletter, give you a sense of the richness of what we have tried to offer our community in the past few weeks. Enclosed with this newsletter is your child"s mid-year report. It is an important indication of how your child is faring academically and the extent to which s/he is fronting up to a particular Grade"s demands. We have ENCLOSURES: parents" evenings for all Grades next Term and urge Mother"s Day Poems you to use these as an opportunity to take any Grade 11 Poetry FABLab additional conversation you might wish to have with a General Knowledge Quiz teacher further. I am grateful to our Staff for the effort Talk by Neil McGibbon they have made to provide our students with a fair and Jonathan Jansen"s Column Term 3 Extra Mural Programme thoughtful sense of their progress. Our School feels very healthy: the Term has provided students with an amazing array of activity and opportunity for growth, our Grade 8 classes are full for next year, our School is full for next year and we currently have an outstanding Staff complement. PhD!!! For a while now, there has been a feeling in our staff"s Dream Team that we need to commit the work that we are trying to do at Cedar House to the scrutiny of some rigorous research. I am delighted to announce that Professor Jonathan Jansen (Rector of the University of the Free State, deeply progressive educationalist and long time champion of the transformation of the educational landscape in our country) has agreed to meet me around supervising a PhD on Cedar House! This is very exciting indeed; a group of staff has agreed to form a research team to support me should this become a reality. I"ll keep you informed! www.cedarhouse.co.za T: +27 021 762 0649 F: +27 021 761 8556 5 Ascot Road Kenilworth Cape Town 7708 GRADE 8 MATHS OUTING The Grade 8 class went on an outing to Cavendish for Maths. It was a fun and new practical way of doing maths. The questions we had to answer were interesting and challenging. It was a great learning experience. Joshua Kovarsky GRADE 10 LO OUTING Our society is made up of communities existing alongside each other. We pass each other"s communities on a daily basis. As we pass by we get a superficial sense of that community. Last week, however, we were given the fantastic opportunity of getting the true sense and feel of a community that many of us are not familiar with. Guided by several friendly and informative community members we walked in groups from one end of Philippi to the next. What amazed me right from the start was how vibrant and busy the community was. The main street was filled with informal traders, music blaring and people coming and going. We were greeted with such warmth and enthusiasm wherever we went. We met amazing people such as "Big Momma" who tirelessly cares for babies in her very small home. I felt myself filled with a sense of sadness, however, that a community with such spirit and life has to experience so many difficulties. One cannot ignore poverty, difficult living conditions and crime faced by many. I would like to say thank you to Jack Chikwenya for organizing such an enriching outing and sharing his community with us. Jade Tennant On the 5th May, the Grade 10 students went to visit Phillipi. We were separated into groups, and each group had a teacher, accompanied by a resident. We visited many places, such as: Big Mamma: where parents drop their children off for the day; Mr Zuma: he spoke to us about the security; Jack's home: the woman there described their lifestyle, and how they saw it as a blessing compared to what they had; Food-Seller: how she only receives an income when the days are perfect in climate, and that the food(sheep/cow stomach) was often dirty, and people wouldn't purchase. All-in-all, we all learnt many valuable lessons, and I would like to thank Jack Chikwenya, Ms Hazel Gubb, and Mr Murray for making the excursion possible. Mutaalib Gaffoor REPORT FROM ACCOMPANYING PARENT ON GRADE 10 LIFE ORIENTATION EXCURSION TO PHILLIPI In my capacity as a social worker I spent a lot of my young adulthood walking through communities chatting to people. In this way one is able to gain insight and a true understanding of a community. The grade10 students were recently afforded a wonderful opportunity to explore the Philippi community in this way. Well done to Jack for planning and executing such a fantastic outing. A far cry from the mundane school outings I remember. Divided into groups, each guided by an organized community member. The grade 10 students were given the opportunity of learning about a community which is perhaps very different from the one many of them are used to. They were exposed to both the positives and the poverty. Wherever our group went we were met with such warmth and were introduced to inspiring people. This experience, in my opinion, was both enriching and humbling. JanineTennant. GRADE 11 OUTING TO FAB LAB On Tuesday, 4 May 2010 half of the Grade 11 class went to town to a design place called the Fab Lab. We used lasers to cut out our names onto Perspex done on computer. I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you to Mrs Lancaster. Kalaba Chibale I had such fun at the Fab Lab. I would definitely go there again and would use it for projects and other fun thing that can be done in Design. Thank you to Mrs Lancaster. I really enjoyed going to the Fab Lab. It was really interesting seeing what we could design and all the equipment we saw and used. I thought that the laser machine was the best to use and everything came out amazing. Thank you to Mrs Lancaster. Luke The Fab Lab was absolutely fabulous. Definitely going to go there again. Thank you Mrs Lancaster. Duane Andersen The Fab Lab was very inspiring and creative. I really enjoyed my time there. Jean Moore. The Fab Lab was such an awesome experience. My best outing by far. I learnt so much and I really think it was great because we created and designed our own designs. Kyle Vollaers. The Fab Lab was the best outing ever was interesting and so much fun. We were allowed to make our own designs for free. Thanks very much to Mrs Lancaster. Max Thieme. I really enjoyed going to the Fab Lab and I am so glad I know about it. It was my best outing ever. Jade Rea 2 The Fab Lab was a wonderful experience. It was the best outing. Thanks for taking us Mrs Lancaster. Nicolas Macleod The Fab Lab was really cool because it is encouraging designers to make products through being a source which is free. Zeph Walters The Fab Lab was an amazing experience. I loved make designs and seeing the end result. Tallan Shrimpton The Fab Lab was very interesting and definitely an important place to know as a designer. I think it could be an extremely useful place to use for future design projects. Darren Brown DRAMA WORKSHOP A few weeks ago the Grades 10 and 11 Drama students attended a workshop held at Reddam School. We were greeted by a number of actors who each gave us a different message about acting: 1) Don"t talk when others are; 2) Listen; 3) Body language; 4) Spacing; 5) Blocking, and many more. This was taught to us through activities and games which made the whole event great fun and interesting. They were really inspiring and had a lot of good tips. It was definitely not a function to miss. Nella Etkind Grade 10 RECENT ASSEMBLY ON LIVING A MONEY-FREE EXISTENCE (RESPONSE FROM SPEAKER) To my new friends at Cedar House, Thanks so much for allowing me to talk at your school yesterday and thanks even more for listening. I haven't spoken in public many times before, and I have definitely not spoken for so many people before. So thank you for helping me develop my competence as a speaker, it is a very important part of my journey so I am very grateful for the opportunity. Thanks also for being open to my crazy ideas and for hopefully thinking a little different from now on. Please don"t ever take anything for granted, or accept anything just because it is how it has been for ages. Anything is possible when you begin to see the world with new eyes. Ok, so in case any of you would like to stay connected to my story, or get involved with the Nu-buntu community here are some things you can do… Aiden van Ryneveld PARENTS" FORUM What a wonderful turnout we had for Neil McGibbon"s talk on adolescence on the night of the 27th of May! The weather was rotten but Room 2 was packed to capacity, so thank you to all those who braved the elements to come and listen to this incredibly worthwhile talk. Mr Rumboll gave feedback to parents on a number of issues. This was followed by our guest speaker, Dr McGibbon who spoke frankly and warmly about adolescence, explaining the normal developmental tasks that can often be frustrating for both you and your teen to work through. He then spoke about mental health issues that can appear in adolescence and gave clear and understandable guidelines on how to deal with each. He is a remarkable professional and I think we all left feeling better about the teens in our lives, plus more equipped on how to help them through this often turbulent ( but also fun, passionate and exciting!) life stage. Attached are the notes that were taken during Neil"s talk. Mrs G Cloete FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR"S VERTICAL TEACHING PROGRAMME The first six months of our Vertical Teaching programme were scintillating. What follows is a report by Gemma Field-Levy on one of the programmes that were offered: The Woodstock Festival is awesome – so awesome in fact that no mere words can fully capture its awesomeness, and participating in a Vertical Teaching course devoted solely to worshipping and analysing the Woodstock Festival is almost as awesome. Awesome is a word I"ve used quite a lot in the Woodstock lesson, particularly while doing my presentation on my chosen band performing at the Festival, The Who – they"re awesome, non-believers better believe it – because when faced with the enormity of the Festival, all complex and non-colloquial words are forgotten. We covered a number of different aspects of the Festival during the course; from the mishaps of the Festival and the exorbitant fees paid to Jimi Hendrix for his distinctly average performance, to other artists (The Who are and were awesome. All others pale in comparison) and the music of the Festival. Even the conception and birth of the Festival and political and social background to the Four Days of Peace, Love and Music. All in all, it was pretty freaking awesome; we had fun and listened to a lot of awesome music, and maybe even learnt a thing or two along the way. So I"d like to give Mrs Glenday a super-awesome thanks for organizing the course and for putting her time and effort into it, and for handling, with dignity and grace, the question "So , were you like at the Festival?" SCHOOL HIKE This was one of those mad days, but one which said it all. We do not want to be a community that claims to value boldness and "facing down storms" and then acts in a wimpish way…so we continued with our Newlands Forest annual school hike on Friday in driving rain. The turnout was excellent and spirits were high. It was a wonderful morning. 3 TERM 3 EXTRA MURAL PROGRAMME Attached please find our Third Term Programme. MATRIC DANCE People always tell you that your Matric dance will be one of the best night"s of your life. On Friday, the 14th of May, this finally made sense to our entire Matric grade, as we proudly and beautifully attended our ball. The time was half past seven and Kirstenbosch was illuminated with a gorgeous charm, as couples arrived in the most stylish means, from minibus taxis to hummer-stretch-limousines. I was fortunate enough to borrow a Lexus, which managed to crash itself into the garage just in time to begin the evening on an eventful foot. Each couple was met by a team of smartly dressed grade elevens, who performed their "squirely" duties – which involved opening car doors and carrying our carry-mores that contained our after-party clothes and escorting us to the door – perfectly. We were videoed as we walked pair by pair up the candle-lit red carpet, and felt like royalty. As official photos were being taken, everybody began to recognise each other and the air was filled with both disbelief and complete delight, and thousands of the most genuine compliments. We then made our way to our tables and were greeted with an abundance of calamari and spring rolls which we all tried to eat neatly, and mostly succeeded. Emotional speeches were made to remind us of the magnitude of the evening, as a rite of passage, and we reminisced on some of our many lighter moments as a grade. By this time, everybody was absolutely dying for the main course, which was an elaborate buffet and some of the girls wished our dresses had not been quite so tightly fitted. Suddenly it was time to put all of our specially arranged ballroom dancing lessons to use, and people – after many hesitant comments and reluctant glances at the video camera – began to make their way to the floor. We waltzed for approximately two songs and suddenly the classical waltz become some kind of line dance and a whole lot of people were dancing in synch in a square and then some of the teachers joined in. It was honestly like something out of a musical. As the rest of us stood and watched this enchanting phenomenon, Lauren"s dress caught fire from one of the candles and the dance floor became a bit more chaotic, finally normalizing in a state of normal, teenage, jumping-around-in-circles-with-your-friends sort of dancing. Other highlights included a couple with matching luminous pink hairstyles, Mrs Court and her husband rock "n rolling on the floor, and Mrs Fella rocking out to Jack Parow. Finally it was time to leave, and we were filled with a sense of both immense satisfaction at the success of the evening, and also sadness at the heartbreaking realisation that the night we had eagerly anticipated for so long was drawing to a close. What a night it had been, and how privileged we are to have teachers (especially Mrs November and Mrs Rumboll) that could arrange such an evening for us. To sum up the quality of the event, it should be admitted that the early hours of the morning saw many of us scheming about ways to get invited to next year"s dance. What a memorable evening this has been, we all agreed, and promptly fell asleep until that afternoon. Tegan Phillips Grade 12 TERM 2 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZ We congratulate the following students on being winners in their Grades in this Term"s competition: Grade 8 Claire Anderson Grade 9 Matthew Orolowitz Grade 10 Luigi Perez Grade 11 Oliver February Grade 12 Stewart Innes and Matthew Reeler Mrs Bottaro has once again done a sterling job in designing and managing this now termly institution. We have enclosed the test and the memo…Enjoy! A CEDAR HOUSE PICTURE BY TAMSYN LANCASTER (Drama, Design, Visual Arts and English Departments!) Picture the scene: A rinsed Kenilworth, dripping itself into afternoon. Cold and damp and quiet, the garden is deserted save for two children. A transparently-skinny adolescent boy and a small boy of six are playing. The little boy"s squeals of delight punctuate the silence as he throws up a ball, aiming for the hoop. He gets it in and the older boy cheers encouragingly. Leroy and Tom are playing basket ball. Oblivious to the world around them (and Tom more likely oblivious to the homework he has due for the next lesson), they are enraptured with their game. They are unaware of any boundaries of age, language or culture. Only two teachers are witness to this delightful scene and despite the relentless cold, their hearts are warmed. It"s a scene that encapsulates everything we love about Cedar House and our kids. A simple, almost nostalgic portrait of what the world should be: just two children at play. Ms Lancaster CEDAR HOUSE DRAMA DEPARTMENT MEETS ST STITHIANS DRAMA DEPARTMENT I was incredibly fortunate in having the opportunity to spend some time with the St. Stithians Boy's College Drama Department recently. Carol Fields (HOD) and Frances Dicks welcomed me with open arms (and loud voices) into their special Stage Door Theatre in order to pass on the wisdom of a highly established and expertly-run department. It was an utterly valuable and inspiring experience. Although Saints is a very different school to Cedar House in its traditions and overwhelming size, I was able to garner a wealth of knowledge, both theoretical and 4 practical, that can be applied to our own department. In addition, my visit (which included a show at St. John's, and one-on-one practical tuition with the highly entertaining Carol Fields) was instrumental in creating a relationship between our departments that I'm certain will continue to grow and benefit both myself and our drama students. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Frank Rumboll for supporting and encouraging me in this endeavour. Ms Lancaster GRADE 10 ACCOUNTING OUTING th On Tuesday, 4 May the Grade 8–12 Accounting students went to Cavendish to watch the movie Food Inc. Food Inc. is a documentary of where our food comes from and how it is made. The movie really depicted the production of food in a bad way. The chickens are treated badly and genetically modified to grow larger, as statistics show that the breast meat if the favourite part of the chicken. Corn is fed to all the animals as it is a cheap option and it can also be genetically modified. Corn is also in nearly in everything we eat as it can be used as a derivative in most products. Thank you to Mrs November, Ms Gubb and Mr Murray who made this outing possible. SARAH NEWNHAM"S SUCCESS IN UCT MATHS COMPETITION We congratulate one of our matriculants, Sarah Newnham, who performed in the top percentile of entrants from Cedar House in this year"s prestigious UCT Maths competition. What an amazing achievement! COLLEEN STANFIELD"S SUCCESS IN LIFE SKILLS THEATRE PROGRAMME Congratulations to Colleen who has successfully completed Level 3 of this programme at the Baxter Theatre. GOODBYE TO MRS COURT Mrs Court, one of our part time Maths teachers, will be leaving us at the end of this Term. We thank her for her hard work, her commitment to her students and her attention to detail. We wish Mrs Court everything of the best. My sincere thanks to Mrs Satchel who will be teaching the Grade 12"s in the Third Term (she currently teaches a number of them Maths Paper 3) and to Mrs Glenday who will be teaching Mrs Court"s Grade 10 group until the end of the year. TERM 2 SOCIAL ACTION DAY What follows are reports from our individual social action groups. Sincere thanks to Mrs Rumboll who makes this all possible. Thank you too to our Student Leaders who lead our groups so thoughtfully. AVONDALE (Home for the elderly) It was again time to visit our good old (excuse the pun) friends at Avondale Home for the elderly. We were going to have a sports day with the residents, and had spent hours preparing small, beautifully wrapped prize packages. We arrived, and some of us facilitated the sports (which included bowling and some ball-throwing games – not rugby or anything) while others wandered bravely from individual room to room to connect with people with whom they had little in common, but from which they could learn so much. One woman – who had last time mentioned her previous occupation as a stripper – managed to convince us that she could not partake in the games without her morning tequila, and everyone was thoroughly entertained. Fun and games aside, we could not help notice the value in these people we, as a society, often neglect, and it felt good to acknowledge, if only for a short time, that value. We are hoping to have a tea party with them soon, to – in the words of one of the residents – keep the twinkles in their wrinkles. Tegan Phillips ABALIMI BEZEKHAYA We arrived at the garden in Gugulethu, expecting cold, rain, and an overall dreary time. We could not have been more wrong. The sun came out, and before we knew it, we were all, to some surprise, having a great time. First, we dug and readied three rows so that seeds could be planted, making sure they were straight, and the soil was properly aerated. Next we planted seedlings in the rows. We calculated that we planted around 1500 plants – a fact the group is quite proud of. Over all it turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable, and productive experience. Matthew Reeler HEAVEN"S NEST REPORT We went to Heaven"s Nest, armed with colouring book, crayons, play dough and bubbles. The weather was warm, and the sun had decided to shine, after a week of rain - thank goodness! We arrived at Heaven"s Nest at about 9:15 that morning. The kids all rushed up to us, and hugged us. We set up different stations, with the different activities to do. The group played with the kids, hung up the laundry and even helped with the centre"s sick dog, Cuddles. She is usually boisterous, to say the least. She was taken to the SPCA to be checked out, as well as given a bath. A great time was had by all. Afterwards, we all went to McDonalds. Thank you so much to all the members in my group- I am so proud of you guys! A huge thanks to Mrs Baron and Talia for helping with lifts. Heaven"s Nest is an emergency foster care, for children who either have HIV/AIDS or are affected by it. We are collecting non-perishables and toiletries for them. There will be a box in the foyer of the school, for the rest of this 5 term, as well as the beginning of next, marked "Heaven"s Nest Collection". Please would you consider supporting- I know that they would really appreciate it. Debbie Orolowitz PLACE OF HOPE On the third of March Place of Hope social action group went to Athlone to see our very loved children again. It was such a rewarding experience. When we arrived, one of the house mothers told us a little bit more about the shelter for abused women and children and what it is like for the people staying there. This was such an eye opening experience for the entire group and gave clear insight to how lucky we are. And that we should really appreciate what we have and all the love and support in and around our lives. Students and the teachers were given an opportunity to ask questions and have their questions answered. We then were taken to the crèche to play with the children. we were moved into their main hall so the children could have more room to play. The group was divided into sections so children could rotate at stations once they were done. We had the reading section and the creative section where Jeremy, Colleen and Thania showed the children different things they can make with play dough. The rest of the boys played ball games with the children. Our manager asked that I assemble a group together to organise their library. So myself, Mrs Gubb, Megan and Sean joyfully went about sorting their books and making things look more attractive to the children. All in all it was a very lovely experience and I know the kids had as much fun as we did. One of the children kept asking if we were coming again and when, because she had such a delightful time. I was excited to tell her of course we will. Zodwa Mbulawa THE CAPE TOWN SOCIETY FOR THE BLIND We arrived at the Cape Town Society for The Blind, and were split into groups of three, as the blind people find it difficult to deal with big crowds. Some of us helped with the packaging, where they packed nails into bags so they could be sold. The selling of nails is a source of income for the people of the society. What most of us ended up doing was to help with the weaving of the basket and we learnt how to weave baskets ourselves. At first, this was something most of us found challenging, seeing that most of us did not have any foundation as to how baskets are made. However with more practise we can come to grips with the making of baskets. We also came to learn that the cane used to make the baskets is "deadly," because when it cuts you, it takes a while to stop bleeding. Luckily enough none of us experienced this, but saw it happen to someone from the society. However the weaving did give some of us scratches and some minor cuts. So by the time we left our hands were a little rough. Iphendule Ndzipho LITTER CLEAN-UP For social action day I took a group of students to Kalk Bay to do a litter cleanup. The weather was awful the day before, but it cleared up during the day. We scanned for litter from the harbor all the way to Dalebrook beach. When we were finished we went to get an ice cream and enjoyed it in the sun. Thanks to Ms Fella and Ms Mase for accompanying us. Jason van Besouw THE HAVEN Social Action this term was very enlightening for all our members. Everyone seized the day with lots of vigour and excitement. We experienced no complaints and all the students acted accordingly. Since Bonnytoun closed down, we had to take on another Organisation. After lots of searching, we managed to locate an organisation called "The Haven" that caters and accommodates homeless individuals. We were presented with numerous tasks ranging from cutting up of vegetables to raking up the garden. We all moved out of our comfort zones and approached the various tasks with enthusiasm. Those inexperienced with the certain tasks gained valuable lessons and equipped them with social awareness of our communities. We would like to thank all the teachers that made this event possible and all the students for behaving so well. We look forward to our next visit to "The Haven". Betti and Brent ALIEN HACKING This last social action day, my group, the Alien Hacking Project, went to Youngsfield Military Base. We would normally go across to Kenilworth Race Course, but this time, the people that we work with decided it would be better if we worked on a new section this week. It was amazing to see how many people were excited to do this. I would have thought that at least a few of the kids would have wanted to try get out of it, but no, everyone was there and ready to work. It was quite a cold day and I was worrying that it would rain, but luckily Mother Nature was on our side. After a few hours of the hard labour, we decided to take a break. It was only once we had stopped that we noticed how much we had actually cleared. It was amazing that the combined effort of all the kids could do so much good for the area. The piles of Port Jackson grew bigger by the hour. Kids were starting to lose their bags under it all! Towards the end of our time there and the tiring work of cutting and pulling shoots out all day, it seemed as though everyone was still having a good time. Thanks to The Friends of the Kenilworth Race Course for helping us with supplies and guidance. Another thank you to Mrs Glover and Mrs Person for joining us and for lifting us to and from the school. There were even a few guys that still had enough energy to not only walk back to school, but run! Truly inspirational. Luke Moore 6 RECYCLING th On the 7 May we went on our second organised school outreach excursion. The day looked bad for our recycling group because it had started to rain as we got to the station, but we persevered and when we got to Sunrise Circle in Muizenberg, the sun was out and even radiating slight heat. We spent our day cleaning up the area and got compliments from passers by as we worked, which was a very gratifying result of our work. Our group collected more or less ten bags of rubbish and by the end of the day, we were feeling slightly hot and bothered. We ended our outreach excursion by rewarding ourselves with a nice drink and small bite to eat from Kneed before we caught the train back to Kenilworth. Our day was successful; we all had fun, did some hard work and so felt the satisfaction of doing a good deed in our community, which is always so rewarding. Niela Gie WOODSIDE th On Social Action Day on 6 May, my group and I went to Woodside Sanctuary to continue our work there. However, I must say that I was very disappointed by the absenteeism of the students and ended up taking only 10 people including myself. At Woodside we initially spent time with the children and the nursing staff in the wards, as it was still rather early and the children were being prepared for the day. Our group was split up between three different wards, with the majority of us in the wards for younger children and a group in the men"s ward. Just like our last visit, at first some of us were taken aback by the position of these children and the uncomfortable nature of the work at Woodside, however just like last time this quickly wore off and we were soon playing with the children. Friday is their music day and thus we took up some tambourines and played along with them. It was amazing to see the joy children got from the music, apart from a boy called Chris – he was wanted to Rock "n Roll! Some of the group also read and reread stories to some extraordinarily eager children under a rather beautiful tree outside . We had an amazing time at Woodside and I would greatly like to think that the children there had a wonderful time too. I would like to thank the mothers who lifted us to and from Woodside, it is very much appreciated. A huge thank you must once again go to Miss De Villiers for her help, support, enthusiasm, energy and taking us there. Thank you also to my group for all your effort. Stewart Innes MOTHER"S DAY BREAKFAST POEMS Poems created by Tom Lautenbach, Jacob Nyirenda, Sophie Field, Tegan Phillips and Jean Moore are attached. Sincere thanks to Mrs November who made this breakfast possible. WORKERS" DAY ASSEMBLY REPORTS What follows are reports by Johny van Rooyen and Sian Pressly on the Workers" Day assembly: The head of COSATU came and talked to us about the meaning behind Worker"s Day which was celebrated on the st 1 May. His message throughout his speech was that we benefit from things (e.g. education) and what we learn from situations shouldn"t only be for a person to benefit from, but to have courage to tell others about those lessons so they can gain something from them as well. We all need to have respect for workers and really should choose what we say carefully. This talk really changed my outlook on Cedar House because we as students here are very lucky as we are going to be the bosses and head of businesses because of the education we are gaining from our school. We need to learn now that respect is needed for others so that all of us can benefit from situations. We really enjoyed the speech and now think differently about respect for teachers, parents and ourselves. Thank you. Sian Pressly Grade 8 On Wednesday, 5 May we had a special assembly to celebrate Worker"s Day. The speaker spoke to us about caring for others. He said that even though we have an excellent education from an excellent school and we will all go on to pursue great occupations , we should never forget the people who don"t have great jobs and didn"t get an excellent education. We should never forget Worker"s Day and what it stands for. John van Rooyen Grade 9 FILM UNION SLEEPOVER This term Film Union managed to watch several wonderful, challenging films before the tsunami - exams swept everybody off into their books. We began with Notes on a Scandal, a thought-provoking film about a teacher who has an affair with her student - ultimately a fresh perspective on certain aspects of the education system. We also watched Donnie Darko - a favourite amongst the group - which explored some of the more bizarre, disturbing elements of suburbia. Then there was Freedom Writers, starring Hilary Swank, which also helped us to look at education from a completely different perspective; from the eyes of teenagers in the American ghettos. As always, there was popcorn and Coke, and the atmosphere wonderfully cinema-like. The highlight of the term for us was most definitely the Tim Burton sleepover, because the only thing better than a classic Tim Burton film is marathon of classic Tim Burton films. Thank you to Mrs Rumboll for making Film Union the highlight of our Mondays. Tegan Phillips Grade 12 GRADE 11 HISTORY EXCURSION On Wednesday, 12 May, the Grade 11 History class went on an outing to town. We went to the Bookery, IDASA and the District Six Museum. The Bookery is a part of the Equal Education NGO and focuses on providing underprivileged schools with fully stocked libraries. The District Six Museum was an interesting and important 7 experience for South African youth. It is an engaging museum that you are able to relate to and understand. IDASA has a rather amazing chandelier involving Desmond tutu that I think is worth viewing. It was a productive, informative and involved outing. Many thanks to Mrs Bottaro for organising it. Kate Pinchuck XHOSA EXTRA LESSONS Xhosa students are reminded that Ms Mase offers extra lessons, every week on Thursdays, after school. Students who are struggling with their subject are urged to make use of this offer. CREATIVE WRITING… We enclose, for your interest, some creative writing from our students: Grade 11 Poetry by Michaela Younge, Anjuli Daya, Olivia Martin, Oliver February, Fabian Hasewinkel, Jessica Mayson, Kate Pinchuck and Hope Lancaster Grade 8 Cautionery Tales by Sophie Field, Aneeb Hendricks and Claire Andersen. OUR MARIMBA BAND AT THE BAXTER The Cedar House Marimba Band participated in the Marimba Festival at the Baxter Theatre on Friday 21 May. Our band participated in a mass item with nine other high school bands. It was certainly an entertaining evening presented by Ross Johnson and AmaAmbush. Some of our band members have only been playing since the beginning of this year and it is great to see their vigour and enthusiasm. Besides training in co-ordination and musical knowledge, it fosters confidence and teamwork. Well done – you did us proud! Brian Johnson UPDATE: SCHOOL PARENT CONTACT We have met with a company who will be assisting us in managing and improving communication between our school and parents. We are at the moment communicating with them and drawing up a database of contact details. At this stage we are hoping that a system will be in place very early in the new term and will keep you posted. Lizelle MacLachlan CELEBRATION EVENT SEPTEMBER 2010 You are reminded that the last day of our 3rd term is Heritage Day (24 September). Our annual Evening of Celebration is that evening, at the Baxter, and is being planned to last for 2 hours. We need your support, please, and ask that your arrange for your families" holidays to begin on the Saturday. We wish our country a successful hosting of and performance in the World Cup (see our back page), our School a successful excursion to the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown and our families a happy and restful holiday. Many thanks for all your fantastic support this Term. Yours sincerely FRANK RUMBOLL Principal We congratulate Mr Rumboll who has been appointed by UCT to be the External Moderator of this year"s English Methodology postgraduate students. 8

It appears that the effect of contango on UCO would be more severe than on USO. A good indicator would be the fact that UCO had a 1:4 reverse split in Jan 2011. Throughout the 9 year life of USO, it has never had a reverse split. Comparing UCO to USO could be the equivalent of comparing UVXY to VXX. Unless you can properly time the UCO share purchases, it may be safer to just do option plays on USO.

Options expiration is probably having an effect on the price of USO.
Just last month, WTI was briefly higher than Brent. As the spread gets wider, the trade will be Long WTI / Short Brent. This spread will eventually have to narrow. It should not come as a surprise that the OPEC countries will be holding a huge number of WTI contracts when they are ready to announce a cutback.

Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented May 15, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DIVIDING PROTRACTOR Michael Rabatine, Streator, 111.
Application March 11, 1949, Serial No. 80,964
4 Claims.
This invention relates to an instrument adapted for use in performing successive operations on a work piece to determine the correct distance and relationship between the successive operations performed on the same work piece and is by way of improvement over my co-pending application Seria] No. 40,331 filed on July 23, 1948.
The primary object of the instant invention is to provide a dividing protractor that may be easily attached to shafts or work pieces of various diameters and which will enable successive cuts or similar operations to be performed or made in a work piece at exactly the proper and accurate position from other cuts formed thereon.
By way of improvement over the protractor disclosed in my pendin application, I have provided an apertured ring which can be fastened on the rear of the protractor in such a manner that it will be located about the shaft which rotates the graduated dial on the face of the protractor. Thus, after the first operation is performed on the shaft, a finger fastened on the shaft at the rear face of the protractor may be rotated around the rin to the desired point wherein it would be inserted and locked and the next operation could be performed. Thus, this invention has for one of its objects to provide means for automatically setting the degree of the graduated dial without watching the dial. The dial may be set by merely counting the holes or openings on the spacing ring on the reverse side thereof.
These and ancillary objects and structural features of merit are attained by this invention, a preferred embodiment of which is set forth in the following description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of this invention, showing the same in operative association with a round or circular work piece for properly aligning a section thereof with a tool during a machining process;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the implement;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 1; and
Figure 4 is a detail sectional View taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.
This invention generally designated by the flange 2i} directed inwardly and bearing against the rear or back Wall 22 of the body section and spaced from the side walls of the recess by a bearing ring l9. A spindle or shaft 24 is formed integrally with the plate and extends inwardly parallel to the side wall 20, the same being formed with a reduced extending portion 26 terminating in an externally threaded portion 28. A spirit level gauge 30 is disposed in a tubular casing or housing 32, having a cut-away portion to expose the same, the gauge being secured to the face of the plate by suitable securing means 34.
A pair of downwardly and outwardly inclined blocks 36 and 38 are formed integrally with the lower end of the body section and form a cradle 40, whereby the same is mounted upon a work piece 42. Lateral extensions 44 and 46 extend from the lower ends of the blocks, the extensions being vertically apertured for receiving suitable locking means 48, the locking means being adapted to embrace the underside of the work piece and securely lock the implement thereon. As seen in Figure 1, the locking means includes a chain having one end secured in the extension 46 and the other end slidably disposed in the extension 44, the latter being lockable in the extension by positioning the links passed through the extension in a lateral position with respect thereto.
It can be seen that this invention is designed for accurately determining the proper position for successive cuts or other machine operations to be performed on the same work piece. For example, the dividing protractor is fastened to the shaft by the locking means 48 and successive cuts or similar operations are determined by means of the graduated dial havin the precision level gauge. The protractor is set and is disposed at right angles to its previous position, after which the shaft is rotated, until the spirit level gauge is disposed on a level plane.
The means provided for adjusting the dial comprises a block 50, which is formed at its lower end with a transverse bore 5|, whereby the same may be disposed on the extending reduced end, 28. of the spindle. A locking nut 52 is threadingly engaged on the externally threaded end of the spindle and retains the block thereon. Further retaining means is provided, the block being formed with a bifurcated head 54 from the transverse bore 51 and a fastening member 56 being disposed through the bifurcations. A transverse bore 58 is formed adjacent the upper end of the block and a pin 60, having an enlarged knurled head 62 is slidably disposed in the bore. A spring 64 is disposed concentrically around the pin and anchored to the pin and the head for urging the pin inwardly into engagement of a series of perforations 68, which are circumferentially spaced on an annular spacing ring 66. The ring 66 is seated in the rear face of the circular body section I2, as seen in Figures 1 and 3.
The perforations formed in the spacing ring are spaced in a predetermined manner in various multiples or divisions to correspond to the graduated dial formed on the face of the plate 18.
Thus, the dial plate can be adjusted to the desired position, by means of the indexing finger or block 50 and locked in the position by means of the pin, engaged in one of the openings 68 in the spacing ring. With the spacing ring marked or formed with the openings in a predetermined pattern, after the first cut or keyway was machined in, the work, the indexing finger would be rotated a predetermined number of openings on the spacing ring relatively showing 90 degrees on the graduated dial and the pin would then be positioned within the openings. Thus, the dial would be locked in the desired position. After each machining process, the shaft is freely rotated, so that the level gauge will be disposed on a level plane.
The lock nut 52 will be securely positioned against the index finger or block to eliminate lateral movement thereof. Since the indexing finger is fixed to the spindle formed integrally with the graduated dial, the dial and finger are relatively locked together, so that rotation of the finger will produce a corresponding rotative -movement of the dial.
It can thus be seen that, by way of improvement over my co-pending application, I have pro- Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
l. A device for determining accurate working points on a work piece comprising a body section having a central recess, a dial plate rotatably disposed in said recess, a level gauge carried by the face of said dial plate, a spindle extending integrally from said dial plate rotatably extending through the body section, an indexing finger secured on the extending end of said spindle for rotating said dial plate, means carried by said finger and detachably secured to said body section for locking the plate in a desired position, and means for securing the body section on a Work piece, said locking means including a spring-urged pin carried by the free end of the indexing finger, a spacing ring associated with said body section and having a series of circumferentially spaced openings, said pin being engageable in said openings.
2. The combination of claim 1, wherein said means for securing the body section on a work piece includes a saddle plate integrally formed on said body section, lateral extension plates on said saddle plate, flexible connecting means carried by said extension plates, said flexible connecting means having one end fixed in one of said extensions and the other adjustably secured to the other of said extensions.
3. A measuring instrument of the type described for determining work points on a work piece comprising a circular body section having a central circular recess in one side, a circular protractor rotatably disposed in said recess and having an integral spindle rotatably extending through the back wall of said body section, a level gauge carried by the outer face of the protractor, an indexing finger locked on the extending portion of the spindle and adapted to rotate said protractor, a spacing ring secured in the rear face of the body section and having a series of circumferentially spaced openings, a locking pin carried by the free end of the indexing finger, and means for retaining said pin in engagement with one of said openings.
4. The combination of claim 3, wherein said last means includes a spring concentrically disposed about the pin and secured thereto for urging the same inwardly into engagement with the openings.

Maybe you didn't know it, but by state law no new nursing homes can be built in Rhode Island unless the owners agree to build a new kind of nursing home. This week state officials approved the application of the first new home since the moratorium began. It's based on a concept called "culture change." And Rhode Island Public Radio health care reporter Kristin Gourlay takes us to a home that's already adopted it.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee has proposed $43 million in cuts to the state's Medicaid program. That's the program that provides health insurance for the poor and disabled. And it's recently been expanded under Obamacare.
And while Chafee's budget wouldn't cut services for Medicaid recipients, it would have an impact on how much health care providers are paid to care for Medicaid patients. To learn more, Rhode Island Public Radio's health care reporter Kristin Gourlay sat down with Virginia Burke, head of the Rhode Island Health Care Association, whose members are mainly nursing homes.
This is a special documentary version of RIPR's 'The Silver Boom: Aging in Rhode Island" coverage hosted Dave Fallon.
Topics include:
-Remembering the Gorham manufacturing plant,
- Being gay as a senior citizen,
- A 91 year old still teaches tap dancing,
- Older learners in higher education,
- The safety net for seniors,
- Issues with being older and in the prison system,
- Multi-generational family living,
- The cost of longterm care,
- Mental health care,
- Substance abuse among the elderly,
In less than 20 years, a quarter of the state's population will be older than 60. Rhode Island Public Radio is looking at this growing demographic in a series we call "The Silver Boom: Aging in Rhode Island."
Rhode Island Public Radio's Bradley Campbell talked with Warwick's, Ken Fish. He's spent most of his life in Rhode Island, and is a leader for gay rights. They started their conversation examining how has life changed for the gay community over the decades.

A Brown University PhD student in epidemiology, Beth Lacy, is 28 years old. That means she's a long way from retirement and plans to be working for decades to come. But the debate over the future of Medicare and Social Security is on Lacy's mind even when she makes one of her regular coffee stops at the Cable Car Café in Providence.
"Is is something I think about," she says. "It's not something that necessarily keeps me up at night. But just because of the world I'm in with work – public health – I definitely think a lot more about Medicare than Social Security."

A place for educators to find thought-provoking news, conversation and support for those who care about diversity, equal opportunity and respect for differences in schools
A Caution About Labels
At my school, we often call a student's misbehavior a "poor choice." A staff member suggested that the phrase unintentionally promotes a bias against the poor. I appreciated that insight. Wouldn't it be much more accurate—and equally effective—to say, "That choice was disrespectful," or "The choice you made disrupted our learning?"
Preparing to Help Students Through Tough Times
Sonia is a quiet girl with a shy smile who never raises her hand in my class. Recently, she told me that she is bisexual.
Sonia shared this during a conflict resolution meeting conducted for her and another girl in the class, Katie. She had a crush on Katie and had been pursuing her through frequent text messages. Sonia had persisted even though Katie had made it clear she only wanted to be friends. At the end of our meeting, Sonia agreed to stop texting Katie. By the end of the day they appeared to be friends again.
What Sally Ride and Amelia Earhart Taught Us
This week reminded us of two pioneering women in aviation. The nation mourned the death of Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. At the same time, many of us celebrated the 115th birthday of Amelia Earhart.
Facebook is My Classroom, Too
As teachers, we hear almost daily that we "must meet the students where they are." It is a core tenant, a sacred truth offered as a key to successfully unlocking the hearts and minds of even the most reluctant learners.
Culture: A View of the Self
My ninth-grade Spanish students resisted my assignment to write about their cultures.
"My family doesn't have any cultural traditions," one said.
"My culture is that I'm just normal," added another.
"I don't have a culture," said another.
Diverse Schools Are Essential for the Nation's Success
The face of America is changing.
In 40 years, the United States will become a minority-majority nation – a remarkable milestone for a country that already boasts one of the most religiously, ethnically and racially diverse societies in the world.
But you wouldn't know it looking at our nation's schools. Census and school data tell a very different story.
Student Expulsion is a Last Resort
Ms. Simmons had two first-grade boys by the arms.
"Fighting in the bathroom," she said. "Send them home."
It's the second week of day camp hosted at our school. The policy is strict: Two strikes and you're out.
On the one hand, it makes sense. It's summer camp. Camp should be safe and enjoyable for all children. It's hard to feel comfortable when you're worried there might be a fight. There's no mandate for children to be here. It's optional and a privilege.
In Consideration of Ramadan
Our staff took an in-service afternoon to design a new approach to Ramadan. It wasn't for a teaching unit, but out of consideration for the more than 30 Muslim students in our school. During this period of religious observance, which requires fasting, these students were directed to the cafeteria at lunchtime as usual. Some took refuge in the media center, but most suffered in the cafeteria.

Absolutely, DC. Many thanks to the 11W team for the outstanding content. I'd be lost without it.
I agree, but for different reasons. I don't see how it's the NCAA's or the school's responsibility to see that parents (or anyone else, for that matter) make it to the games. Where does this end? Should they also pay for parents to see regular season games? You can argue "that's different", but it's a slippery slope. Next thing you know, people will be claiming "It's my right!".

ROSE Blog Interviews: KDE Project's A. L. Spehr
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Q: Who are you?
A: A. L. Spehr, "Alex" – blauzahl online.
I co-founded KDE's BugSquad, a bug triage group. I've done all sorts of other little things for the KDE Project as well. Through people I met working with the KHTML (browser rendering) people, I was hired into my current job at froglogic GmBH.
Q: What do you currently do in open source? What do you love about it?
A: Lately I've been coordinating the KDE presence at various conferences in the USA. Our country is lagging behind the rest of the world in our publicity outreach. The first half of this year, between development and promotion work, I was going to at least a conference a month. After having three in a row, I'm taking a break from that for a few months. I also coordinate BugDays, which are held by BugSquad to go look through old bugs. You don't need any programming knowledge, so it is a good place to enter the KDE world. Many of the people who started with us are now regular contributors.
In both of these roles, I direct people towards where they can go for more information about what they are interested in. We need more than just coders! There's also people who do usability, translations, art, promotion and marketing, and more.
Q: You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an open source related career? What should they know about the open source environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
A: I'm not entirely sure what open source-related careers are, so this is hard for me to answer, but I can give some general advice for starting in the open source world.
Everything you do is archived on the internet forever. This is scary. Especially when you realize that will include your newbie contributions that won't be as good as your later ones will be. Both will stick around. But you'll get better as you gain more experience.
Submitting a patch means someone will review it, and they might say something that doesn't seem nice. Ask someone else in the project if that person is like that in general before assuming they are specifically targeting you. Odds are they just aren't happy with something in the patch, and if you fix it, they'll be happy to use it. You'll find that some people are happy to help. Figure out who those people are, make sure they are technically competent, and then use them as tutors/mentors. Your project lead will probably be one of them. If they aren't friendly, switch projects/groups!
Q: You're speaking to a group of high school students. Why should they consider exploring career options in open source?
A: Working with open source projects means that you'll always be on the cutting edge of using new technologies. You'll find this is good for your resume. But doing Free Software is volunteer work – you get to pick your own projects based on what you are interested in. So take advantage of that and follow your interests. Meet as many people as you can. You'll find it might turn into paid work, either in or outside of open source.
People are one of the strong points. In a large project like KDE, you'll find people from all over the world. It's neat to be able to say that you know someone from Iran, and to get an eyewitness account of current events there. And it's fun to travel to conferences. I've met all kinds of great folks, and some have turned into close friends.
Q: What question do you wish I'd asked? And how would you answer it?
A: Keep your eye on http://dot.kde.org for our next BugDay! You just need a current version of KDE to help out.comments powered by Disqus
