Packing list for Vanuatu
|Country Resources
PACKING LIST This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Vanuatu and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that each experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything on the list, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have a 100-pound weight limit on baggage. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Vanuatu. Many Volunteers put a lot of effort into packing for their Peace Corps service because it is hard to predict what and how much you will need. Keep in mind that most Volunteers bring too much, especially clothing. If you can't live without something, bring it, but remember that you are traveling to a developing country and less is more in many ways. The cultural considerations on the list below are to give you an idea of what you need, but vary for different parts of Vanuatu. It is a diverse country with urban and rural settings. The best thing to do is to prepare for any situation!
General Clothing[edit]
Belt (1) Not leather. Even if your clothes fit well, it will be useful if you lose weight! Footwear Everyone in Vanuatu wears sandals or flip-flops. Poor quality ones are found locally. A pair of running/trail shoes may be useful, especially for runners. All weather hiking sandals are good for rainy season and water activities. Bring whatever is most comfortable. Hats & Bandanas Wide brim hats or baseball-type hats are useful for rain/sun. Few are available in Vanuatu. Bandanas are useful and are not easily found in Vanuatu. Raingear A poncho works very well for walking with a backpack. It can rain often in Vanuatu and many people just accept it and get wet. Raincoats are not easily obtainable and most are too hot to wear when it rains. Raincoats are useful when traveling on boats as well. Umbrellas are readily available and inexpensive. Swimsuits (1-2) On the island, Ni-Vanuatu and most Volunteers swim in their clothes. A swimsuit may be useful or more comfortable, especially if you swim often. Women can only wear them in the capital, at resorts, or with a T-shirt and shorts on the island. Underwear & Socks (2 weeks worth) Bring what is comfortable and durable. Some Volunteers give up the practice of wearing underwear; however, those who stick to it appreciate ones from home. Bring socks if you run, are bringing real shoes, or get cold feet. (3-4 pairs, more if you run) "Western"-style Volunteers may wear "western"-style clothing (jeans, etc.) more often in Port Vila. Short skirts and shorts are still not recommended for women. Remember, most of your time will be spent at your site, so pack appropriately. Winter (1 each) Sweatshirt, long-sleeved shirt, fleece/light jacket, sweatpants/warm pants. These may seem odd things to pack for the South Pacific; however, most Volunteers are glad they brought them come June/July. They are expensive and difficult to find locally.
For Men[edit]
Pants 1) Lightweight, casual pants, if necessary for work. Convertible to shorts. Shirts 6-8) T-shirts will be worn most often. For teaching/holding meetings/church, etc. button-down short-sleeved shirts or polos are appropriate. A long-sleeved button-down may be useful. Shorts (5-7) Durable, quick-dry, convertible to pants. (5-7) pairs of boxers–not available locally.
For Women[edit]
Dresses 1-2) Casual, loose, long dresses, sleeveless is a plus. Some teachers and professional women wear island dresses, found locally. Roomy but hot! Shirts (4-5) T-shirts or sleeveless (no thin-strap or strapless) shirts will be worn most often with skirts. A button-down shirt or polo may be useful, depending on your profession. Shorts (2-3) Below the knee, quick-dry or board shorts. Ni-Vanuatu women only wear shorts around the house, in the capital, when they go swimming in the sea, or under their island dresses. These are good at night. Skirts (5-7) Loose, calf-length or longer, not see-through, durable. Worn most often with T-shirts. In most places (outside urban areas) women must wear skirts. Slips & Bras Ni-Vanuatu women wear slips (petticoats) under island dresses; cheap ones can be found locally. (5-7) Sport bras or camisole-style bras work well. Bring what is most comfortable in hot weather. NOTE: It is important to bring a good mix of casual and professional clothing. There are a number of secondhand clothing stores throughout Vila and Santo, where it is possible to find a wide variety of clothing items at affordable prices. Everyone in Vanuatu shops secondhand! And remember that you will hand wash all clothes and everything dries poorly when it is wet or humid (most of January through March) so bring enough!
Remember: Vanuatu is a very wet, humid country. The majority of people here still do not have electricity. Volunteers who bring laptops, digital cameras, GPS locators, etc. must find a way to charge them and remove information, as well as store them from the humidity. Electronics are expensive or unavailable in Vanuatu and they are also a potential target for theft. Batteries Many Volunteers purchase solar battery chargers and rechargeable batteries. For those who choose not to purchase solar, it is recommended to bring a good amount of batteries. Local batteries do not last long. It is also recommended to try to coordinate your electronics to use the same type of battery. A good mix of solar and batteries is best in case solar chargers break. The amount of sun energy at sites varies; make certain your solar panel can supply the energy you need (i.e., laptop). Camera Digital cameras are very popular, but bring extra batteries and memory cards. Recordable CDs are a good way to store backup pictures. It is best to bring a camera that takes AA or AAA batteries. Cellphones Cell phones are available at very affordable prices. Some Volunteers choose to bring phones from the U.S. but you must be sure that they are unlocked. Flashlights LED headlamps are the best. Bring extra batteries or rechargeable batteries with a small solar charger. Wind-up torches are also available here. Ni- Vanuatu use kerosene lamps for their homes and waterproof torches for diving at night, etc. Small solar lights are available for sale in Vila. Music Devices Music is important to many Volunteers. Some use external amplified speakers, which work very well and will amuse your neighbors. There is a bacterium, which eats away at CDs, so make copies of originals first. A spare music player is handy in case your first one breaks. They are expensive to replace in Vanuatu, and if it is not used, you can usually sell it to another Volunteer. Plug Adaptors Vanuatu uses Australia/NZ-style plugs. Radio A small battery-operated or hand crank shortwave radio is nice to have. Some Ni-Vanuatu have radios or tape players. Radio reception throughout the country is spotty, but is getting better.
Silica Gel/ Otter Boxes/ Dry Bags
Not readily available in Vanuatu. Dry bags are useful when walking to keep important things protected from rain and humidity. USB Flash Drive (Memory Stick) (2-4) Very useful for transporting documents between offices and islands and storing photos. They are available in-country but are expensive.
General Supplies[edit]
Towlettes Great to have and not available in Port Vila. Baggies Good to keep things dry. Bring many different sizes. Some baggies of varying quality are found in local stores. Books The Peace Corps resource center has books for pleasure and for work. Most Volunteers who bring books do not take them back to the U.S.; they circulate them among Volunteers during service. You may want to bring certain books that you want to read. There is not a "real book" store in Vanuatu, although there are a couple of stores that sell books. A few places sell very expensive books and dictionaries. Teachers may want a grammar book. There is also a collection of ebooks that Volunteers share with each other. Earplugs Great for light sleepers or for sleeping through the sound of roosters. Eyewear (1-2) Good-quality sunglasses are very useful here, but may be ruined, so use your discretion. Bring two pairs of prescription eyeglasses (if applicable).
Thank-you gifts for counterparts and training family are appreciated and it's difficult to find good quality, cheap things here. Consider inexpensive watches, playing cards, soccer balls (with needle), etc. But don't stress out too much about this. There are things available in Vila that would be appropriate for gifts as well.
Kitchen Supplies
It is not necessary to bring pots or pans, dishes, or silverware. You can purchase pots and pans in Vanuatu. Most spices are available but expensive. Bring your favorites, but keep them in their original containers or they will be confiscated by customs. Rubber spatulas, good can openers, and paring knives are recommended, but cheap ones are available. Nalgene bottles with measurements on the side work well for measuring cups. French press/garlic press optional.
Good world, U.S., and South Pacific region maps are good ideas, especially for schools or to show people. Make sure your maps are laminated; they are available in Vanuatu but are expensive. An atlas is also a nice reference tool. Pictures It is nice to have pictures of your family, friends, house, street, city, etc. Ni-Vanuatu love to look at pictures and people and things from all over the world.
Sleeping Gear
Plain bed sheets are available in Vanuatu, as well as thick and thin blankets, although fitted sheets are not. The Peace Corps issues a mattress to each Volunteer at the beginning of training. Mattresses in Vanuatu are approximately 2-inch thick foam pads, twin-sized. Trainees are also given plain sheets and a pillow. A silk cocoon or sleeping bag liner is also nice for traveling in-country because it is lightweight and dries quickly.
A Swiss Army knife or Leatherman tool is useful for many Volunteers. They are not available in Vanuatu. Hammers, etc. are available here.
Travel Alarm
These must run by batteries or solar energy (watches with alarms or alarms on cellphones can suffice).
Watch Durable, inexpensive, waterproof/resistant. Insect repellant tends to disintegrate plastic watch bands. Backpacks A sturdy backpack (with rain cover) or duffel bag for three- to four-day trips and a day pack. Most Volunteers use backpacks whenever they travel.
Office Supplies
Basic supplies are available here: pens, paper, notebooks, etc. The quality may not be what you're used to. Consider a startup supply of pens, a small stapler, a calculator (very expensive here), quality scissors, and duct tape. This also depends on your job assignment. Stickers are great for teachers to bring. Water The water is, for the most part, clean and drinkable; you will not need a water filter here. Drinking bottles are helpful; bottles with measurements on the side are good for cooking.
Feminine Protection The Peace Corps provides applicator-less tampons and pads during your service. Otherwise, the selection in Vanuatu is limited and expensive. Bring a start-up supply. General Good tweezers, hair-trimming scissors, nail files, and clippers. Prescription Medicines Bring a six-month supply of all prescription medicines you require. Shower Items Soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothbrushes, etc. are available in Port Vila. The selection is not the same as in the U.S. and the price may be higher. Bringing a startup supply is a good idea. If you need something specific, bring it. Biodegradable camp soap is good for you and the environment. Toothbrush Holder Occasionally needs cleaning, but keeps the critters off. Towels (1-2) Quick-dry towels work well, but may still mold. Inexpensive towels are available here.
Guitar Cheap ones are available. Hammock Expensive and very limited supply here. Many Volunteers like the nylon variety, and bring them from home. Snorkeling Gear Available, but expensive and of low quality. Mask and snorkel suggested; flippers and reef shoes optional. PEACE CORPS | VANUATU WELCOME BOOK 40

In this country, we tend to see events in Latin America as single trends. In the 1970s, there were military and authoritarian governments. In the 1980s, populist governments produced hyperinflation and economic stagnation. In the 1990s, there was the Washington Consensus: electoral democracy, strong currencies, freer trade, privatization of state-owned firms. Now, we tend to see a trend toward leftist populism personified by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
But that's not the whole picture. For that, keep in mind the statement that Ronald Reagan made after his first multi-country trip to the region, a statement that almost every American tourist finds himself mouthing: Every country is different.
Yes, Chavez is a threat. His authoritarian rule in Venezuela has hurt its economy, but his oil revenues have allowed him to subsidize Fidel Castro in Cuba and to help elect the coca growers' union head Evo Morales in Bolivia. He will probably have another ally if Ollanto Humala wins the runoff election in Peru and renounces the pending free-trade agreement with Washington. But Chavez needs to sell his oil, and that keeps his country hardwired into the global economy.
In other countries, the Washington Consensus seems alive. The idea that Latin America is trending left owes much to the victories of Lula da Silva in Brazil in 2002 and Michele Bachelet in Chile earlier this year. But Lula has followed responsible economic policies, and Brazil has provided constructive leadership in the Doha round of world trade talks.
Brazil, with half of South America's population, has also quietly used its weight to exert a cautionary influence on Chavez. Lula has scandal problems and may or may not be re-elected this year, but in any case Washington will have a responsible government to work with. Bachelet is continuing Chile's vital center-left tradition, and its economy is growing, thanks in large part to its free trade agreement with the United States.
In contrast, Argentina's Nestor Kirchner has been flirting with the kind of populist policies that have prevented his country from reaching its potential in the past. But Argentina has less demographic weight than Colombia, South America's second most populous country, where center-right incumbent Alvaro Uribe has been conducting a successful campaign against the FARC guerrillas and seems likely to be re-elected by a landslide later this year.
Approval of the Central American Free Trade Agreement earlier this year has the region into a closer economic alignment with the United States -- the downside is that the Sandinistas might win, for the first time, a free election in Nicaragua.

The are many of them, but they are mostly experimental, so I learn and see how things work, and can then apply them in real projects like the Display Dumper utility, which I present briefly below. This project is hosted at SourceForge ( http://dispdump.sf.net ) as I decided to release it as an open source project, because I like the idea :) A few of my other projects you may find on my website: www.tomasz.lasko.pl. If you have ANY thoughts to share with me or other people, then it will be a pleasure to receive it, just take a minute or two and send me an e-mail ( email@example.com ) or visit project's SF.net website and post on a forum, send a feature request etc. ----------------------------------- Contents of this README file: ----------------------------------- 0. Disclaimer 1. What is DispDump? 2. Why DispDump? 3. System requirements 4. Current status and features 5. How to use DispDump 6. Compilation/installation info 7. Credits 8. More info ================================== 0. Disclaimer ================================== ALTHOUGH I HAVE TESTED THIS UTILITY, I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE YOU ANY DAMAGE SO YOU HAVE TO USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! ================================== 1. What is DispDump? ================================== DispDump is an abbreviation of the full tool's name: "Display Dumper". The utility gives you remote control of a PC running MS-DOS (which e.g. does not have a monitor display attached to it). The screen image (currently text mode only) is taken from the graphics card and transferred to other computer via serial link and displayed there using ANY serial link terminal emulation software. It is an open source project, hosted at SourceForge (sf.net). You can download it from its official website: http://dispdump.sf.net ================================== 2. Why DispDump? ================================== Once upon a time I had the following problem: I had a PC with Linux and DOS installed earlier with the help of a connected monitor display. After the instalation I did not have any monitor for a long time, but it was ok for me as I have been runing only Linux and logging into it from a laptop (that's why I did not need any monitor) through LAN network, and even optionally through a serial link if the LAN did not work. But once upon a time a I had to configure an old SCSI controller card and I could do it only by executing the SCSI controller's setup-BIOS located inside the card's ROM chip, and this program was 16bit. The only possibility was to run it from DOS, but in this case there was no way of logging into this system remotely. I needed a specific tool and because I could not find any suitable program I decided to create my own DOS program which is a substitution of the monitor display, because it takes the screen image from the graphics card memory and sends it through the serial link, so after creating the tool (which fortunately took me only one day) I could still work remotely. Now I am publishing it to the open source community so anybody who potentially will ever need this kind of program can just download and use it :) ================================== 3. System requirements ================================== As I stated above, the aim for the program is remote control of a computer running MS-DOS, so it runs on MS-DOS and requires from you to have a COM1/COM2 serial port. The program runs in background (as a TSR) and uses 16 kB of memory. It has been tested on MS DOS 7.1 (MS Windows 98 DOS). On the other computer that is connected (through a "NULL modem" cable) to our MS-DOS machine, you may use ANY serial link terminal emulation software and the computer itself may be ANY machine architecture which supports 9,6 kbit/s RS-232 serial link. ================================== 4. Current status and features ================================== Currently the program is version 0.5. It has ALL basic functionality, but also has command line parameters which do not work, because I have not implemented them yet. The reason is that I wrote the program in only one day, but plan to add extra functionality later. Below I present the features that are already implemented and the ones that are to be added or improved in some far future. The future is "far" because currently there is no need for these extra features, at least for me :), beacuse like I said, ALL the basic functionality is already working. But if there is anybody who needs them soon then please spend a moment and drop me an e-mail, so I will try to do some work :) Currently implemented features: - Runs in background of MS-DOS (as a TSR, using 16 kB of memory) - 9600 bps transfer through COM1 or COM2 (selection available through command line parameters) (9600 bps is the limitation of BIOS API, but this API is the quickest to use - program made in 1 day:) ) - The receiving machine can be ANY machine architecture which supports 9,6 kbit/s RS-232 serial link, you may use ANY serial link terminal emulation software, and the terminal size should be 80x25. - Screen dumping triggered by two events (you can select one or both of them): - timer (e.g. every 3 seconds) - key press / Print-Screen-key press (I called it Magic Key / MKey trigger) - 3 methods of screen dumping: - Two ASCII modes: sending just a stream of ASCII characters (without color information) - Mode 10: sending all the characters, so the last line ends and a new empty one comes below, recv. terminal size should be 80x26 - Mode 11: sending all but the last character, so the last line's end is not reached, recv. terminal size should be 80x25 - Binary mode: inlc. color information - Mode 20: sending all the characters, sending raw bytes from gfx card: char, color, ... no recv. terminal exists which could support this mode (maybe I'll make one in the future) - Debug screen logger - You cannot turn off the program unless you reboot your MS-DOS system, do not run another instance of the program if one is already running. Candidates for future features (ordered according to their priority): - Higher speeds of transfer (max transfer speed at least 115kbps) - Other text screen modes (not only 80x25) - Creation of a terminal which understands binary modes and screen color information - 4th method of screen dumping: - Binary mode 21: including cursor position - ... or maybe using Linux/vt100/etc... console escape characters to encode colors... and cursor position? - ... and sending only differences between each frames, not the whole screen each time - An option to specify communication time-out - Possibility to unload the TSR program without having to reboot the MS-DOS system - maybe some graphical modes in the future? You can find some screenshots on the project's website - I have ran the Display Dumper under DOS in a virtual machine and connected to the virtual machine through a virtual serial port driver 'com0com' which is also hosted at SourceForge and I also recommend you this tool. The screenshots show the same things when you use two serial port clients (which I described in 'Some HINTS' below) ================================== 5. How to use DispDump ================================== The idea of using DispDump is as follows: you run the program under DOS and it goes to the background as so called TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident), now it sends the text screen content (the screen mode must be text mode of size 80x25) through the serial link. So you connect some other machine to it using a serial link and use ANY terminal emulation program (port settings: 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). You should also set the size of the terminal window to 80x25 or 80x26 depending the ASCII mode you have selected. Now just throw away your monitor display and watch the screen from the DOS system through the serial link, and just have a good fun :) You must be aware of several things about how the program runs, before you actualy run it. Firstly, it is recommended to read the utility description and the features list above. Secondly, here is the actual program options syntax: DISPDUMP [OPTIONS] [DUMP_MODE] All options are... optional :) The dump mode too. So if you do not specify them the program will use its default values. Options: ---------------- Boolean options - each option is a letter; upper case letter means TRUE (on), lower case letter means FALSE (off): B/b turn on/off blocking-transfer communication mode during the interrupt (default: B -> on) I recommend to leave it as default, except you experience some long delays or hang problems K/k turn on/off key-press interrupt screen dump trigger (default: K -> on) This means that if this trigger is on, the program will dump the screen through the serial link everytime you press a key. Note that there the program reacts in a special way when you press the Print Screen key, but this is still experimental. Please see also the 'c <timer>' option (below). L/l turn on/off debug logger (default: l -> off) This logger is really for DEBUG purposes - and for debugging hardware interrupts, so unless you read the source code you will not know what it means, but! I recommend that you use it once or twice at the very beginning just to be sure that the program actually works. The logger "messages" are displayed as a text on blue background somewhere in the upper area of the screen. Integer options - each option is a letter (case does matter) followed by an integer value c <timer> timer value for timer screen dump trigger. This means that you can tell the program to dump the screen through the serial link every e.g. 3 seconds. The value is the number of PC clock interrupts, which occur approx. 18.2 times per second. So 3 seconds would be 18.2 x 3 = 55 If you use the value 0 (zero) you will DISABLE the timer trigger. The default value is 50 (almost 3 seconds). Please see also the 'K/k' option (above). t <timeout> serial link transport timeout. This option has been crated as experimental and currently does not work. It even may be removed in some future version of the tool. So in other words: just forget it ;) u <unit> serial link transport unit number. Currently supported values: 0 -> COM1 (default), 1 -> COM2 Grab modes: ---------------- As listed in the features list, there are 3 methods/modes of screen dumping. You just give the mode number (10, 11 or 20) as the last parameter: - Two ASCII modes: sending just a stream of ASCII characters (without color information) - Mode 10: sending all the characters, so the last line ends and a new empty one comes below, recv. terminal size should be 80x26 - Mode 11: sending all but the last character, so the last line's end is not reached, recv. terminal size should be 80x25 - Binary mode: inlc. color information - Mode 20: sending all the characters, sending raw bytes from gfx card: char, color, ... no recv. terminal exists which could support this mode (maybe I'll make one in the future) Some examples: ---------------- Running the program for the first time with logger turned on ('L'), timer trigger disabled ('c 0') and screen dump mode 11 selected: dispdump L c 0 11 Running the program whithout the keypress trigger ('k') so it doesn't "pause" to send the screen everytime you press something, instead you see the screen every 2.2 seconds (=40/18.2): dispdump k c 40 And REMEMBER: ---------------- First of all, there is a possibility that the program may hang the system. I recommend that you use the debug logger (the 'L' parameter) for the first time you run the program, just to make sure that every thing is working. You just should see some characters on a blue background on the screen when you trigger the keyboard and/or timer trigger. And secondly, even if the program is working just great, currently ther is no possibility to turn off the program unless you reboot your MS-DOS system. So do not run another instance of program if one is already running, because you will have a mess sent over the serial cable, or even there is a possibility that the system will go bananas :) Some HINTS: ---------------- 1) If you test the program and find the most usefull configuration and now you want to make it start every time you run your MS-DOS (and e.g. you do not/will not have the monitor display anymore) and want to access this MS-DOS machine only remotely, then I advise that you execute the program through AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example you put the following line at the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: C:\My\Tools\DispDump.exe c 0 2) The serial terminal emulation programs to connect to the Display Dumper can be for example Minicom under Linux and HyperTerminal under Windows because it is a standard utility of every Windows system. But HyperTerminal truncates at least one top line of screen, and I could not find the option to resize the "screen" area (I have read that when you set terminal type to VT100(J), you can do something about the "screen" area size but under Win XP this is not it). So instead of HyperTerminal under Windows you may use ComListener program, which I have put into the binary package of DistDump (DistDump-<ver>-bin.zip). This program is a modified version of an example for an open-source serial port library which you can find here: http://home.ict.nl/~ramklein/Projects/Serial.html If you want to, I can send you the source code of my version of this program. ================================== 6. Compilation/installation info ================================== The BINARY package is a complete tool package, you do not have to have anything other. It contains three .exe programs, and each of them you can run independently just as it is, without any need any extra files. They do not even need each other to work :) These programs are: DispDump.exe - the Display Dumper utility itself DispDOld.exe - the old/debug version of the utility, use it only if you experience some problems. (Please note that the debug logger is on by default in this version!) ComListener.exe - a serial link client program which I recommend to use instead of HyperTerminal (see 'Some HINTS' above). The SOURCE code is written for Borland C/C++ for DOS and follows its standards. It probably will not work on other compilers, unless they are really accepting Borland's stuff (like interrupt keyword or BIOS serial port utility functions). ================================== 7. Credits ================================== I would like to thank guys who made the tools I have used: - com0com by Vyacheslav Frolov and com2tcp by for testing DispDump, and Ramon de Klein - Windows serial communication library and the ability to make the ComListener tool) and God for the things I have in my head :) ================================== 8. More info ================================== You can find more info on the project's official website: http://dispdump.sf.net and also by mailing me directly: firstname.lastname@example.com or using SourceForge services like project's forums, bug tracker, feature request tracker etc.

How old it Ayaori...he seems pretty old.
Yes it is funny ^^ and the art is beautifu! All the chapter title pages show Ryo and Yukari as a couple, but even in the end, it still shows her holding both their hands, so technically we don't know.
Same age as Ryo XD
Same age as Ryo XD

Dear Students,
To all of you interested in seeking knowledge or wanting to improve your skills,
WELCOME! My name is Bernadette. I have a B.A. degree in English and a minor in History from Virginia commonwealth University (VCU) located in Richmond, VA. I have
tutored students in their writing lab, including masters and graduate students. It is very gratifying for me to teach the basics of a well written paper. Not only that, but it is something that will serve you well throughout your entire educational career.Of course there are many other aspects to the subject of English, but that is the one that students agonize over the most. As for History and Literature, they often go hand in hand for seeing the whole picture about a particular era,time or person. Both subjects can and are also taught separately. I have an easygoing personality sprinkled with humor and am very good at translating difficult concepts into easy to grasp metaphors and terminology.
I have substituted in Richmond schools in all grades, but mostly middle and high school. Some of those jobs often included special education students and those who have more difficulty with learning, for whatever reasons. Many times it is particularly helpful to have a one on one tutor because you receive undivided attention. I am quite vigilant in making sure you comprehend what we are doing before moving to the next step.
But since I consider us a team, you will be held accountable for upholding your half of the responsibilities. Remember, you are the one seeking help. However, I always learn from
my students,as each individual is unique and has much to add to the overall enrichment of the experience...whether you believe you do or not. On the flip side of my skills is a passion for playing sports; especially basketball, softball and volleyball. I admit I haven't played much lately. I need to get some networking going since I've been up here.
I love to travel, enjoy politics, Have twice started a newsletter, coached and mentored sports teams for youth and adult recreational leagues. I have always been a strong advocate for youth and their well-being. I look forward to working with you soon.Let's get
Bernadette Dear Students,
To all of you interested in seeking knowledge or wanting to improve your skills,
WELCOME! My name is Bernadette. I have a B.A. degree in English and a minor in History from Virginia commonwealth University
I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to Miss Bernadette for my son's writing sessions. She believed in my son and connected very well with him. The sessions were geared to my child's learning style and enabled him to stay on track. My son has found learning fun. Again, Bernadette thanks for your time, zeal and given him the confidence that he needed to be successful.

Talking to the Holy Ghost, in my Bugatti
He knockin' on the do' don't let the Devil in
He knockin' on the do' don't let the Devil in
Lyric Meaning
The Holy Ghost is the smoke that Rick Ross is blazing in his car. It is so thick and clowdy he refers to it as the Holy Ghost. The devil is the cops like when they knock on your door window when you do something wrong like speeding or smoking weed in your car. Rick compares the two like a religious experience. Also if the 'devil' comes in then the Holy Ghost will leave…he doesn't want that.
Oh… And this is a Bugatti:

Isaiah 37:1-4King James Version (KJV)
37 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.

Something I noticed...
Although just coming off a near victory from an undefeated team, I must post a concern. In yesterday's game, I saw every single player on our team hustling on every single play, even after the play. They were playing harder than their hardest to win this game. But...there was one player I continually noticed that was not doing this.
It was Alex Barron.
It pains me to say this, to see this, as I've been proud of his performance this season. But, I consistently noticed that while Jason Brown, Jason Smith, Goldberg, even Jacob Bell hustling downfield to help continue making blocks, picking guys up, Alex Barron is 5-10 yards back, walking and staring.
While this is a minor concern, it kind of irritates me. He is known to be a mild, reserved guy who is not loud and aggressive. But if Jason Smith, a rookie, is showing you up, picking his fellow teammates up, do the same! Don't walk, don't casually take your time! Hustle!
His performance in blocking for Bulger is good. But other than that, he needs to start showing like he wants to win, and help this team.

Maybe we saw different times during the game, but I noticed Barron downfield on numerous occasions ...

Then he added to the painting of history and hope: "How do you begin to wrap your head around the bigger picture of, if you're successful, you'll move into a house where, when the Adams [family] moved in, slaves were finishing the plaster over the fireplace. How does that work?"
To be fair, other anchors also pounded Mrs. Romney and saved their go for Mrs. Obama. CBS anchorman Scott Pelley reminded Mrs. Obama how "in your speech on the first night of the convention, you said that the presidency 'does not change a person, it reveals the person.'" He added: "I wonder, has this experience revealed anything to you about your husband that you did not know?"
Then he asked the first lady, "What do you get tired and frustrated about?" She tried to demur, suggesting she was impressed with her husband's focus on moving America forward. Then Pelley ludicrously suggested, "You could have said that persistent questioning by reporters gets under your skin. That's a possibility." She couldn't answer that, either.
She should have burst out laughing. During the Republican convention, Pelley attempted to embarrass Ann Romney with a gotcha question: "The president is starting a tour called the Romney-Ryan Wrong for Women tour...A lot of women look at the Republican platform on abortion, contraception, a number of issues, and ask the question whether Republicans have women's best interests at heart?"
ABC provided its partisan favors for the Democrats, as well. On Wednesday night of the Charlotte convention, "World News" deliberately skipped reporting the embarrassment of Democrats booing loudly as some of them voted to put a single mention of "God" back in the party platform. Instead, ABC devoted three minutes to fill-in anchor David Muir talking to Caroline Kennedy about a tribute film to Ted Kennedy. Muir also gushed about Michelle Obama "electrifying the crowd here and, apparently, someplace else: Twitter. Nearly twice as many tweets per minute as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney."
All the national media's ridiculous overpraise of Obama in 2008 looks now like an enormous swindle, a real-life telling of "The Emperor's New Clothes." But the networks just keep gushing about the wondrous gifts of the Obamas, now asserting that it is the Romneys who are somehow out of touch with reality.

Bean, Bush Heavyweight II is rated out of 5 by 24.Rated 5 out of 5 by ann121077 from best bush beans I've been using this beans several yrs now and it is always my best beans. This beans keep producing until frost. I always plant them later spring and I have fresh beans from my garden until frost. I do have too much beans that I freeze them and pickle and canned them. They are so delicious ! Super highly recommended.Date published: 2015-12-30Rated 5 out of 5 by RedBarron from Heavyweight II I first purched these seeds last Winter in Florida and created 2 plantings. Both germinated as expected . The yields were very strong and productsion lasted longer than expected.. Upon return to Northern MN, I planted 2 crops 4 weeks a part, and again germination was excellent. the second crop continued heavy production until we departed MN for Florida mid October. My new crop is out of the ground with every seed sprouting! The new seeds for 2012 and newer crops must be substancially better than earlier ones!! We are looking forward to garden green beens mid Feruary!Date published: 2013-12-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Auntnana from Unbelievable germination! I haven't put out a garden in a few years so this year I decided to go with raised beds. I picked up some of these seeds at Lowe's and I can say I am impressed with the germination. I planted them on Thrusday and on Sunday they had already sprouted! I have never had anything come up so fast. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Every seed has sprouted. I bought extra packs to sow every 2-3 weeks to keep beans coming in all season long. I am glad I got those extra packs! I can't say anything as to flavor or actual bean production rates but they are off to a very good start.Date published: 2012-05-21Rated 1 out of 5 by Tumbleweed from Waste of money I was excited to grow these beans in my new garden but wasted a lot of space. Poor germination to put it mildly! The plants I did grow had issues with disease and very low production. Would not order these again. :(Date published: 2011-09-28Rated 1 out of 5 by UrbanFarmer from Worst seeds ever. I saw the reviews on here of the poor germination but I still liked the idea of the heavy yield so I purchased one pound of seed and thought i would give it a try. Boy those reviews were right on the money. It took half a pound of seed alot of replanting and headaches to get 2 15' rows growing. The beets came off and Igot them put up and decided to plant beans behind them. Out of this last half a pound I got maybe 10% germination sowing seed 1/2" apart with soil temp @77 degrees. what I did notice when I was planting is that these are very poor quality seed. Most of the seeds were cracked or still green. I planted a different variety of beans since my second planting didnt come up and got 95% germination. Dont waste your money on this product.Date published: 2011-07-28Rated 1 out of 5 by Peter from Poor Germination!! I planted about one ounce of seed and only four plants have resulted. I replanted another ounce of seed and got six plants. I then planted the nine remaining seeds indoors in a Burpee planter using Burpee seed starting soil. Two seeds germinated out of the nineunder ideal conditions. There is certainly something wrong with this seed. I want to give zero stars for a rating.Date published: 2011-07-01Rated 1 out of 5 by WesternGirl from Disappointed The sprout rate of these beans was less than 50%, even after planting twice. About half the plants that sprouted suddenly wilted around flowering time, and the few that went on to produce beans had skimpy yields. I am going back to local seeds.Date published: 2011-06-18Rated 1 out of 5 by AlouW from Updated Review Still not having good results with these beans . . . the few that did germinate aren't making well either. Perhaps its the extreme heat we're having . . . I probably will try a different variety next year. The upside is the plants are compact and do not attempt to outgrow the 18in label.Date published: 2010-07-01

Life is full of choices. Right now, yours is whether or not to buy the autobiography of a mid-grade, kind of hammy actor.
Am I supposed to know this guy? you think to yourself.
No, and that's exactly the point. The truth is that though you might not have a clue who I am, there are countless working stiffs like me out there, grinding away every day at the wheel of fortune.
If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor is my first book, and I invite you to ride with me through the choppy waters of blue collar Hollywood.
Okay, so buy the damned book already!
©2002 Bruce Campbell (P)2010 Bruce Campbell
"One Of The Most Enjoyable Books I Have Ever Heard"
There is a wealth of insider information on how Hollywood works and the inside story on what it takes to be a successful actor.
Bruce Campbell, of course.
The tender story of how a chin conquered Hollywood and won our hearts
This book is funny, informative and sometimes downright dangerous to listen to when driving home from work as you can laugh so hard you might fall out of your seat - thank goodness for seat belts.
I've enjoyed Bruce's work in front of the camera since I first saw him in the Evil Dead series. It wasn't until I listened to this book that I found out that he was an integral part of many other favorite movies and TV shows in a behind the camera capacity.
Thanks to Bruce's dramatic reading and witty prose, this is one of the all time best listens I've ever gotten from audible.com.
I hope audible gets more of Bruce's books in stock soon.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of this book as I did.
Put your books into my ears!!!
I loved this book. Bruce (we're on a first name basis) has a perfect voice for narration. I could (and did) listen to him talk for hours. The book made me realize just how human actors actually are. His stories are funny and his observations of society are hilarious. I enjoyed every minute of this book.
Todd W. Brown
"Easily a B+"
As a long time fan of Bruce Campbell, it was sort of interesting to hear him talk about things that were far from glamorous when it comes to the life of a "movie star" in the industry. He also gave some fun backstories to a few of those films you know you love if you are even bothering to glance at this title.
The only downside is that this book was written well before "Burn Notice" took off and became a bit of a hit. It would have been fun to hear about some of that part of what has now become perhaps a nudge closer to B+ as far as his acting status is concerned.
If you want something fluffy and full of pretentious nonsense, read the tabloids. If you want a real guy to tell you how it really is, this is a fun read.
Having Bruce read his own book made it that much better. You felt like you were just hanging out and he was telling you his tale.
My name is Will and books come out of my headphones.
"Hail To The King!"
Anyone I know who's a fan of any of these subjects will enjoy this audiobook:
The Evil Dead
Cheesy B Movies
Sam Raimi
Burn Notice
True Stories Based on Early 80s Horror Movies
Fake True Stories Based on Early 80s Horror Movies
1973 yellow Oldsmobile
True Fake Fake Stories Based on Early 80s Horror Movies
Any moment involving chins.
Himself. Although his impression of the greedy, pig-headed Ted Raimi is also pretty spot on. From what I've heard about him he sounds like a pretty terrible person who, in place of a chin, is just all neck*
*What I heard about him came primarily from this book.
It made me want to chainsaw my own chin off in shame of the knowledge that it will only get me so far in life...which turns out won't be very far.
Chins, chins, chins! Listen to this audiobook now please.
Loved listen to him tell his story, it was sitting listen to good friend or family.
"Makes you understand the movie & TV business"
This was a very hysterical book. Bruce explains his family background and complete history of the film business. I never saw Evil Dead, but now it's on my Netflix list. He also explains everything you ever wanted to know about tv & movie business. Fair warning though there is no mention of his Burn Notice days, as it was only in season 4.
"Hilarious, honest, fascinating, and ever so Bruce"
Bruce Campbell rules
The whole story of evil dead is pretty fantastic and hearing about them all growing up together was fantastic.
He brings a certain ineffable charm to every line, you hear one word and you know it's really Bruce.
I laughed out loud many times.
I love Bruce Campbell.
"A Look Into the Life of a Hollywood Working Stiff"
Absolutely. It offers an incredible and hilarious look into Bruce Cambell's life, and is enjoyable, even if you don't know him.
There are not many other books that I have read or listened to that are similar. ICCK is its own beast.
All are wonderful, Irvin Shapiro and the Acid-Dropping Fan being standouts.
There was many a moment when I physically laughed out loud at his well-told anecdotes.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who would be interested in the crazy world of Hollywood.
I listened every day whenever I could! Bruce narrates his already great book so well.
"read this"
amusing. insightful. funny. I couldn't stop listening and I think you'll feel the same way!
"Groovy: the 2010 edition"
The inimitable Bruce Campbell, one of the most distinctive voices (and chins) in show business, recounts his life story with charm and humour. From growing up with legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi to working with the Coen brothers and cross-dressing on the NZ set of Hercules, Campbell's story has warmth and remains down to earth throughout. A heartily recommended listen from the star of the Evil Dead movies and a must for fans. Even for those who have read the book, the lengthy addendum recounting events on his book tour to promote the original version of this story makes it a worthwhile addition to every Deadite's collection.
Full of information, that any fan of Bruce Campbell, will want to know!
Bruce talking about shooting on 8mm.
Well I didn't listen to it in the toilet.
A must for fans of Bruce Campbell!
"Very Funny Book"
I had been told this was worth a read so was very happy to see it on audible. I wasn't disappointed. I am a fan of Bruce Campbell and I guess that helps but I didn't quite expect it to be as funny as it was.
Well worth checking out for anyone that likes a laugh, enjoys films and wondered what it is like to be an actor in B movies.
"As entertaining as you could hope for."
If your a fan of Bruce Campbell, the Evil Dead or B-Movies this is for you. Bruce really entertains with his experiences and his humour.
"Awesome "
Just brilliant. read it 10 years ago and just relistened as found it as an audio book. he's proof that nice guys get what they deserve in the end!
"Genuinely funny"
Forget the glitz and the glamour, If Chins Could Kill tells the Bruce Campbell story, from theatre to B-Movie hero. Brilliant!
"Epic so funny genuinely interesting cannot recomme"
Yep this is a great audiobook about the film industry, process of making film and fighting your way through as an actor....really enjoyed it
Mark kermode's best stuff genuinely loved this
First 2/3 probably better than the ending
Yes and no, yes I didn't want to turn it off, no because I wanted to savour it

The Dell XPS 13 Infiniti Screen Makes Binging On Your Favorite Shows A Breeze #XPSMarch 17th, 2015 by Christen
Disclaimer: I have been compensated in the form of the Dell XPS 13, however all opinions shared below are my own.
Not all notebooks are created equal. If you've been keeping up with the blog, then you know that I've seen the light and have been converted into the Dell inner circle. As the world's smallest 13″ notebook packed with a huge HD Infiniti screen – it's clear to see why this XPS replaced my MacBook Air weeks ago.
Typically, when you think about a Windows-powered notebook – you think about productivity and work more than entertainment and play. Fortunately, the Dell XPS 13 is an absolute game changer!
Whether you call it a game changer or a category killer it's apparent there's more than meets the eye when it comes to this unassuming notebook the moment you take a look at the Infiniti screen. When binge watching "House of Cards" or catching up on missed episodes of "Scandal" my Dell XPS 13 comes though in the clutch! When compared to my MacBook Air 13? the Dell XPS 13 measured a 13.3-inch display in an 11-inch size laptop, making the XPS 13 the smallest 13-inch laptop on the planet. The XPS 13 has a unique virtually borderless infinity display, with only a 5.2mm bezel on the top and sides giving me more movie and more TV while traveling.
While on the go, I enjoy eye-popping clarity and detail with an UltraSharp Quad HD+ display, which shows an incredible 5.7 million pixels. That is 4.4 million more pixels than an HD+ and 2.5 times that of a Full HD display. (The resolution on my Dell XPS 13 is better than some home theatre systems.) High resolution guarantees that no matter what I'm doing, my favorite shows always come through precise and clear.
Not just for work, my Dell XPS 13 is great for all kinds of play and starting at just $799 – How could you not want to take this notebook everywhere you go? No matter if it's Netflix, Hulu or HBO Go – you can always find my Dell XPS 13 ready to run my favorite shows. This week, I'm catching up on "Game Of Thrones" (Season 4) and "EMPIRE" (before Wednesday's season finale). Do you watch your favorite shows on your laptop too? What shows are you currently binging on?

With a starting price of $329.99 MSRP, the unit serves as a versatile, portable and stylish device that can perform everyday tasks for work and play tasks alike.
A unique, 360-degree, two-axis, "flip-and-fold" hinge enables five distinct usage modes: Laptop, Tablet, Tabletop, Presentation and Audience. A vibrant 11.6-inch diagonal, HD TruBrite® touchscreen display makes the most of the five viewing modes, giving plenty of room to consume as well as create.
Stylishly Small
Sleek, slim and lightweight at less than three pounds and topped with a trendy patterned light gold finish, Satellite Radius 11's compact design makes it easy to carry. Featuring a fanless design, the laptop can be configured with the latest Intel Pentium® or Celeron® processor , up to 4GB of RAM and either 32GB of speedy Flash memory or a spacious 500GB hard drive.
The laptop also includes an HD webcam, plus a range of ports, including one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, HDMI® and an SD card slot.
The Satellite Radius 11 will be available for purchase beginning October 26, 2014 for a starting price of $329.99 MSRP at major retailers, e-tailers and direct from Toshiba on toshiba.com/us.

Four Reasons Why This Year's #2013CES Will Impact Your Life For The BetterJanuary 8th, 2013 by Christen
Let's face it, not all nerds are created equal. We know this, and thankfully we're not at the top of any nerd's megabrained list. However, we definitely know a thing or two about mobile, computing and consumer electronics – and more importantly, we know that this year's #2013CES will be the most impactful Consumer Electronics Show yet. If you're wondering how in the world a electronics convention could have any impact on what you have going on in your life today, you're sadly missing the boat. The announcements, premieres and unveilings happening over the next two days might just be the products meant to make your life unbelievably easier and impact your 2013 more than you know.
1. samsung, Samsung, SAMSUNG!
Among the companies present at CES, Samsung will be one of the most influential. The company has evolved from challenger to champion in recent years, displacing Sony as the world's largest manufacturer of high-end TVs. Not only has Samsung produced amazing televisions, home electronics and smartphones throughout the years now with their sights set on tablets and cameras – this company is sure to set the standard for innovation during CES 2013.
Why It Will Impact Your Year: This is the year where consumer electronics meets customized streaming content and word on the block is that Samsung has already begun making waves into the next level of content creation with the mSpot streaming services.
2. Connected Convenience
This year, if it's not ready to go out of the box, it's not truly effortlessly connected and therefore could no way become a leader in the world of connected convenience. That's what it's all about this year at CES and you'll undoubtedly see and hear more and more about Bluetooth this and WiFi that. With over 61% of households having WiFi, manufacturers are banking on making products that are easily parable and that makes the most of this new wireless lifestyle.
Why It Will Impact Your Year: Have you sat in a newer model Chevy, Cadillac or Acura lately? Not only are households becoming well connected but cars are too. We're headed into a wireless world, whether you like it or not and if you want to transition with the latest in consumer electronics, you better learn how to pair that smartphone with your refridgerator, your mp3 player to your car and that tablet to your tv.
3. iEverything
Even during its' absence from CES – Apple still manages to dominate with this year's iLounge Pavilion. The iLounge Pavilion features the latest and greatest third-party accessories and software for Apple's iPod®, iPhone® and iPad®. From electronic plug-ins to fashionable cases, speakers, headphones and exciting new games and applications, you'll be amazed by the opportunities created by their great designs and features. More than 500 companies that make peripheral technologies for Apple devices have signed up to show their wares at CES.
Why It Will Impact Your Year: Apple is constantly evolving it's products, from mp3 players, to smartphones and now with rumors of a new revolutionary television device – you'll definitely need to be aware of all the gadgets, accessories that could make for easy living with your new tv in the future.
4. Windows 8
First off, Microsoft isn't officially at the show this year – but you can expect more Windows 8 tablets, laptops, and tablet / laptop hybrids boasting the new operating system in it's physical absence. While many of the major companies — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Samsung, etc. — released Windows 8 tablets and computers before the holidays, you might be surprised at what some were holding back. We're also holding out for some interesting tablet concepts from Intel, Nvidia and others.
Why It Will Impact Your Year: As supercharged laptop computers evolve, each company is not only attempting to convince you that their product is similar, but they're also becoming competitively priced to aggressively battle it out for that consumer dollar. (It's a great time to be in the market for a laptop or desktop computers.)

The Maine Sunday Telegram reports that Dan Mills' appointment as director of the Bates College Museum of Art come with a renewed emphasis on the arts at Bates as part of a College-wide strategy. "This is a wonderful situation," Mills said, "one with many opportunities for the arts and the college." He noted specifically the creation of a Bates Arts Collaborative at Bates. In another story, Portland Press Herald arts writer Bob Keyes reports on Mills' attendance at a statewide "cultural summit" at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, where, "under a blanket of heavy mist, 75 artists, arts presenters, administrators and educators gathered…to share ideas, talk about their latest projects and, in many instances, simply introduce themselves."

I would like to find the number of places where numpy.where has evaluated as true. The following solution works, but is pretty ugly.
b = np.where(a < 5)
num = (b[0]).shape[0]
I'm coming from a language where I need to check if num > 0 before proceeding to do something with the resulting array. Is there a more elegant way of getting num, or a more Pythonic solution than finding num?
(For those familiar with IDL, I'm trying to replicate its simple
b = where(a lt 5, num).)
