TWITTER POWER: HEAT DOMINATING SOCIAL MEDIA; OTHER MIAMI TEAMS LAGGING: I was curious about the Twitter reach of teams in America's Big Four sports so I checked all of the the official accounts, and one thing I discovered is that the Heat are enormously impressive, the Dolphins are just OK, and the Marlins and Panthers are, well, flatly embarrassing based on what their fellow teams are doing. I thought it was obvious, but maybe not based on some Twitter blowback I'm seeing, that this rankings is numbers/followers only. It doesn't speak to the quality of the sites. In this case, numbers don't lie, though. I like this barometer because it speaks of the engagement of local fans but also speaks to the national reach of a team beyond its home base. The results:
1. Los Angeles Lakers 4.46M

Respectfully yours,
GRONKOWSKIS = KARDASHIANS OF SPORTS: The thought occurs as I read an ESPN.com feature today on the youngest Gronkowski, Glenn, a Kansas State fullback. (Read story here). The piece is accompanied by the photo at right showing all five Gronk bros, with Daddy Gronk second from left. The most famous Gronk, the Patriots' Rob, astonishing is the only one here wearing a shirt. I don't compare the Gronkowskis to the reality-TV Kardashians based on talent, of course. The Gronkowskis have some. They play football, at least. The Kardashians are famous mostly for being famous, for !@#$ing NBA players and for mastering the art of tabloid publicity. Both families, though, seem comfortable in the public display of intellect that would not have the folks from MENSA calling. Mostly, Gronkowskis + Kardashians = Gronkashians because the football family seems increasingly comfy fronting the partying, goofy frat-boy persona that is the perfect male ying to the female yang of the Kardashian women as shopping, sunbathing, red-carpeting paparazzi magnets. I don't care what anybody else tells you. America truly is a wondrous and wonderful place!
Poll result: Serena in pole position for athlete of year: We gave you four top contenders for 2015 athlete of the year and you anointed tennis star Serena Williams at 35.4 percent as she attempts to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam in U.S. Open starting Monday.

One location I haven't written about in the past is Pakistan. This is one region where the malware infection rate increased substantially when we changed the method we use to locate systems reporting malware infections (as seen in Figure 1). Prior to 2011, the Microsoft Malware Protection Center used the administrator-specified setting under the Location tab or menu in Region and Language in the Windows Control Panel to determine the location of a system reporting an infection. Starting in volume 11 of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, location was primarily determined by geolocation of the IP address used by the computer submitting the telemetry data. If you are interested in the details, you can read all about this change in an article we published previously: Determining the Geolocation of Systems Infected with Malware.
The malware infection rate of Pakistan increased from 1.8 computers cleaned for every 1,000 scanned (CCM) by the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) in the fourth quarter of 2010 (4Q10), a level well below the worldwide average, to 27.7 in the first quarter of 2011 (1Q11). That's a fifteen-fold increase. Over the ensuing five quarters Pakistan's malware infection rate increased to 35.3 in the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12), five times the worldwide average; this is the second highest infection rate (below Korea's) of the 100+ countries included in the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report volume 13.
Figure 1: CCM infection trends in Pakistan and worldwide
The categories of threats found in Pakistan that are well above the worldwide average include worms and viruses. Some other locations in the region that have had relatively high levels of these same categories of threats in the past include India, Vietnam, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority (West Bank and Gaza Strip), Iraq, as well as Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Figure 2 (left): Malware and potentially unwanted software categories in Pakistan in 2Q12, by percentage of computers reporting detections (totals exceed 100 percent because some computers are affected by more than one kind of threat); Figure 3 (right): The top 10 malware and potentially unwanted software families in Pakistan in 2Q12
Five of the top ten threats found in Pakistan in the second quarter of 2012 were worms. This helps explain why nearly 50% of systems that were found to be infected with malware in Pakistan, had worms on them. Win32/Autorun affected 29.0 percent of computers with detections in Pakistan. Win32/Autorun is a family of worms that spreads by copying itself to the mapped drives of an infected computer. The mapped drives may include network or removable drives. These worms are in the top ten list of threats in many locations around the world. I have written about these worms before: Defending Against Autorun Attacks.
Another worm, Win32/Conficker is 9th on the top ten list of threats in Pakistan in the second quarter of 2012. This is cause for concern because the primary way Conficker spreads is by using well documented, very simple passwords – something I have also written about in the past.
One worm I haven't seen show up in the top ten list of threats for many other locations is Win32/Chir. Although it was detected in many locations in the second quarter of 2012, significant numbers of detections are limited to a few places including Pakistan, Brazil, the United States, Turkey and Spain. But even in these cases, Win32/Chir did not appear in the top ten list of threats for these locations. The only other location where Win32/Chir appeared in the top ten was Angola. It was found on 13.2% of systems in Pakistan that were infected with malware in the second quarter of 2012. Another interesting fact about this threat is that Win32/Chir is both a worm and a virus. The worm component spreads via e-mail by mass-mailing a copy of itself as an e-mail attachment to e-mail addresses that it finds on local and remote drives. The worm runs when a user opens the e-mail attachment. Win32/Chir also exploits the Incorrect Mime Header vulnerability discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS01-020). This may cause the e-mail attachment to open automatically when the email is read or previewed on susceptible systems that have not had the MS01-020 security update installed. Note that MS01-020 was originally released in March of 2001, making this security update and the vulnerability it addresses almost twelve years old.
Two viruses appear in the top ten list of threats found in Pakistan in the second quarter of 2012. The most common threat family in Pakistan in 2Q12 was Win32/Sality, which affected 30.1 percent of computers with detections in Pakistan. Win32/Sality is a family of polymorphic file infectors that target executable files with the extensions .scr or .exe. They may execute a damaging payload that deletes files with certain extensions and terminates security-related processes and services. The other virus appearing in Pakistan's top ten list in 2Q12 was Win32/Virut, which affected 15.1 percent of computers with detections in Pakistan. Win32/Virut is a family of file-infecting viruses that target and infect .exe and .scr files accessed on infected systems. Win32/Virut also opens a backdoor by connecting to an IRC server.
Win32/Keygen also appears in the top ten list of threats in Pakistan. This is another threat I have written about before.
In some regions of the world that have high malware infection rates it is also common for the number of phishing sites, malware hosting sites, or drive-by download sites hosted in the region, to be elevated. This does not appear to be the case in Pakistan in the second quarter of 2012, though drive-by downloads per 1,000 URLs in the first quarter of 2012 were higher than the worldwide average.
Figure 4: Malicious website statistics for Pakistan in the first (1Q12) and second (2Q12) quarters of 2012
Another potential good piece of news is that the growth of Windows Update and Microsoft Update usage in Pakistan appears to be trending in the right direction. Figure 5 shows the growth in the number of computers connecting to Windows Update and Microsoft Update in Pakistan over the last four years, indexed to the total usage for both services in Pakistan in 2008.
- In 2012, the number of computers connecting to Windows Update and Microsoft Update in Pakistan was up 28.5 percent from 2011, and up 209.7 percent from 2008. By comparison, worldwide use of the two services increased 18.3 percent between 2011 and 2012, and 59.7 percent from 2008 to 2012.
- Of the computers using the two update services in Pakistan in 2012, 47.0 percent were configured to use Microsoft Update, compared to 58.5 percent worldwide.
Figure 5: Windows Update and Microsoft Update usage in Pakistan and worldwide
My call to action for Pakistan is:
- Given the prevalence of worms in the region, there are several things people and organizations can do to protect themselves including:
- Make sure you receive the latest security updates from Microsoft by installing Service Pack 3 on systems running Windows XP. To check what service pack you have installed, click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Windows XP users can get more information and download Windows XP Service Pack 3 for free from here.
- Mitigate worms that attempt Autorun feature abuse by installing this free security update on systems running Windows XP and Windows Vista.
- Use strong passwords. Make sure you're not using any trivial passwords that threats can just guess to penetrate systems. Instead, use strong passwords to help defend systems against Win32/Autorun, Win32/Conficker and other worms found in the region.
- Don't open email attachments unless you have to.
- Install antimalware software from a trusted source and keep it up to date. Many reputable antivirus companies offer free scans such as this one, and Microsoft offers Microsoft Security Essentials for free.
- Avoid downloading and using software activation key generators (keygen) as attackers are using these to fool users into installing malware on their systems.
- Use Microsoft update instead of Windows Update. Microsoft Update provides all of the updates offered through Windows Update and provides updates for other Microsoft software, such as the Microsoft Office system, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Exchange Server. Users can opt in to the service when installing software that is serviced through Microsoft Update or at the Microsoft Update Web site (update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate).

Forest near Torturehouse
As Zane retreated back into the security of the forest, Sword and Shield did the rest. The Snorlax gathered up his strength and released a massive Earthquake on the Ancients closing in. All they could do was stand in place as the attack quickly eradicated them. The fissures were indeed powerful, and Zane marveled at the strength of the Snorlax. But, that was to be expected. He was a Gold Tribe member, after all. He then finished off another batch with a geyser of Surf.
Quite a bit were taken out, but they were nowhere near done. Defender struck at a few more with water pulse, and the two changed positions once more. It was time for Zane to assume the bait role once more.
As he went out, though, he noticed something. More than half of the outside-patrolling Ancients were coming this way. Zane muttered something silently under his breath. The plan would have been more successful if pockets of the Ancients came at a time. But now, a good two hundred or so were on approach, ready to weed out the three of them. This would relieve pressure from Calamity to sneak in much easier, but it meant that the three of them were in a bind. With nowhere left to hide, Zane hid back into the forest as the Ancients started pouring in. Zane thought of what to do. He could try sneaking passed them here, but there would be no way to fight off the out two hundred or so next to the torturehouse, not to mention the others inside. In the end, if would probably be better to have them hide in the forest, and slowing start picking them off, but will they be able to hide effectively? Defender might not have that much of a problem, but Sword and Shield and Zane would.
With nowhere else to turn, and options running out, Zane broke the cover of a thicket and rammed right into a group of Ancients. From a distance, he saw Defender hiding not to far out. He silently motioned him on.
"Go help Calmity free the others! Sword and Shield and I will cover you!" He said, as he used a Thunder Wave at an Omastar.
There was no way Shield and Sword and Zane could effectively sneak in, so it was up to Defender and Calamity now to sneak in and save the others.
"Good luck." He said softly to Defender, who by now probably couldn't hear him.
The sound of the fighting of the forest drew scores of Ancients towards Sword and Shield's and Zane location. Zane nodded to the Snorlax, ready to take them head on.
A Legend once told me that roleplaying is about bringing people together and celebrating creative vision.

Four projects being paid for with more than $1.2 million in tax dollars were approved about a year ago, but only half have been completed.
Last year, the Franklin Development Corp. agreed to give out grants and loans to four projects that would improve and redevelop areas of the city. The organization, which was created and funded by the city, has paid out about half the money, but two of the projects are not finished and are behind schedule.
Indianapolis developer Indreno is working to renovate 97 E. Monroe St., the historic Alexander carriage shop, into three shops on the first floor and three condominiums on the second floor. But the developer is waiting to get the state to approve building plans before construction can start.
And a group of four local organizations is waiting for the results of two studies on whether forming a nonprofit sports corporation could attract more visitors to the city for sporting events.
The Franklin Development Corp. has yet to pay out $599,000 for the two projects, which were approved by board members in October. Both projects originally were expected to be completed within a year, but officials say that is unlikely.
The agency is now going through a reorganization, and six of the seven board members who approved the projects have resigned. The remaining original member, John Ditmars, and
six new board members — two of whom have yet to be appointed — will review the two projects. Members need to learn about all of the organization's projects before any decisions are made, Ditmars said. Both projects are moving forward, albeit slowly, he said.
The board is considering changing how it distributes money for projects. Previously, the Franklin Development Corp. would pay money out before materials were purchased or work was completed, such as with the work Indreno is doing.
The group now wants to start paying money only after receiving copies of invoices or checks that show work was done.
Neither agreement with the development corporation had a specific timeline for when the projects need to be done, Franklin community development director Krista Linke said. But the Indreno project was expected to be completed by August, and a report on the sports corporation was supposed to be ready around July.
The sports corporation study could be completed by the end of October, Franklin Community Schools executive director of finance Jeff Mercer said.
But construction on the Monroe Street building is expected to take at least six months once it begins, and developer Jake Griffin doesn't have an estimate on when the state will grant approval and work can begin.
Two other projects totaling $451,000 helped Ivy Tech Community College purchase land to expand its Franklin campus in the future and allowed Franklin College to open a café at 66 Water St.
Those projects were completed this year.
Most of the money that has not been spent is going toward the former Alexander carriage shop building. The board approved a $275,000 grant and $500,000 loan to the developer, who planned to renovate the historic building to house a martini bar, shops and upstairs condos.
Some interior demolition work was completed on the project, but the exterior remains the same and no remodeling has started inside, Griffin said. The organization has paid out $200,000 of the $500,000 loan so far.
The project has been stalled since the spring because the state needs to approve the building plans and hasn't yet. The state approval is required because the work is being funded with public funds from the Franklin Development Corp., which was funded with $5 million from the city's tax-increment financing districts, Griffin said. The list of information the state requires includes electrical systems, engineering, plumbing, fire suppression and the exterior layout.
"All of those things have to be well-documented," Griffin said. "It's one of those things where you go to their office with a piece of paper, and they turn you away and tell you to bring back a different piece of paper."
The Franklin Development Corp. also paid $26,000 for a study to explore whether starting a nonprofit sports corporation in Franklin would be financially beneficial to the city. If the plan looked promising, the development agency would provide another $24,000 for the organization's startup costs.
The money originally was funding a $9,100 study from Indiana University professor Bruce Jaffe, but the group working on the sports corporation project ordered a second report costing $25,000 from the National Association of Sports Commissions, Mercer said.
The study by Jaffe is looking at the financial impact of current sporting events, such as high school sports, Franklin College events and youth leagues in the city. That study asks people where they're from, whether they are staying overnight in the city and where they spend money before or after the events, Mercer said.
The sports corporation group, which consists of Franklin Community Schools, city of Franklin, Franklin College and Johnson Memorial Hospital, planned to submit that report to board members to determine whether forming a new nonprofit would be worthwhile.
But Mercer said the sports corporation group thought it would be better to provide as much information to board members as possible. The second study is taking an inventory of current facilities in the city and what expansions or new facilities could help the city attract more visitors.
"It was our belief that having both studies done on the front end might make long-term planning more clear," Mercer said.
Since the cost of the second study will cost more than the initial $26,000 the group received for the project, Mercer said, the school district and city will pay the rest.

The USDA's Supplemental Food Assistance Program (SNAP) provides help to nearly 45 million people—about 1 in 7 people in the United States. Nearly half are children younger than 18.
Historically, the focus of SNAP-Education, or SNAP-Ed, was on nutrition education for SNAP recipients, but the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 transformed the program into a nutrition education and obesity prevention grant program explicitly adopting obesity prevention as a major emphasis and embracing comprehensive evidence-based strategies delivered through community-based and public health approaches.
In fiscal year 2016, the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) authorized $408 million to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands to provide nutrition education and obesity prevention services, using interventions that include direct education; social marketing; and policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes.
To achieve this, states need a set of effective multi-level interventions and approaches to include in their programs. Since October 2012, NCCOR has worked closely with USDA to rapidly develop, refine, and update the SNAP-Ed Toolkit -- a portfolio of existing, evidence-based, and actionable tools consistent with the context and policies of SNAP and incorporating evidence-based obesity strategies. This toolkit was developed by USDA's FNS, The Association of SNAP Nutrition Education Administrators (ASNNA), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Center for Training and Research Translation (Center TRT), and the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR). The toolkit draws from various sources, including public health literature and collections of existing interventions.
The latest version of the toolkit was published in January 2016 on the USDA SNAP-Ed Connection page. The NCCOR-supported online toolkit offers a robust group of effective interventions designed and updated to help states identify evidence-based and emerging obesity prevention programs and PSE strategies and interventions.
SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework
Complementing this edition of the toolkit is the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework: Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Prevention Indicators. Originally developed and piloted in FNS's Western Region in 2013, it was updated at the national level under the auspices of NCCOR in 2015. The evaluation framework includes a focused menu of outcome indicators that align with the SNAP‐Ed guiding principles and lend support to documenting changes resulting from multiple approaches in low-income nutrition education and obesity prevention efforts.

Robina's Group
Both works very hard to meet the basic needs of the family. Robina's son is just one year of age. She wants to give him quality education; that's why she wants to save some money for his bright future. She wants to improve her embroidery business and for this purpose she has applied for a loan from Asasah. With the help of a loan, she will buy embroidery materials such as cloth, beads and colored thread in bulk which will help her to make a larger quantity of embroidered dresses of good quality.
She has been doing this business for the past five years and she knows very well about different fashion trends. She is very sure that she can succeed in her business by making an investment into it.
This is the first time she has applied for a loan from any MFI and she is very much hopeful that this will prove successful for her business and will continue to a long-term relationship with Asasah.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

student loan default
My husband and I are trying to figure out if we should apply for FHA together, or if I should do it alone.
He had his student loans go into default while he was unemployed during the first half of 2010. They were in default for 1-2 months. Since that time he has been paying them properly with no more lates. How would that affect our application? Would it be better if I applied alone? I know I could be approved on my own, but I would like him to be involved if he can.

Creative Writing
Creative Writing
English majors concentrating in Creative Writing will complete a 39 credit combination of literature courses and workshops in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama. Students are encouraged to explore a variety of styles, genres, literary forms, and methods of written expression. As workshops will vary in style, students are allowed to repeat advanced-level workshops (with different instructors) for credit. Introductory and intermediate workshops provide a foundation for the beginning writer, while advanced workshops allow the more experienced writer to further develop hers or his own style and voice. In addition to coursework, students are encouraged to attend readings and to submit their work to Promethean (the official literary journal of City College), the CCNY Spring Poetry Festival, and to the Annual English Department Awards & Prizes.

Pope brings Jesuit order to forefront
In the day since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, religious scholars have begun dissecting his writings, teachings and philosophy.
Exactly who is this Argentinian Jesuit chosen to lead the Roman Catholic church? Why did he take the name of the founder of another order, the Franciscans? Is there a message in his decision to visit Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he arrived in a Volkswagen and not the papal Mercedes, before celebrating the traditional first papal Mass at the Sistine Chapel?
In San Diego County, religious experts are hungry for more intel on the new Holy Father.
For Jimmy Akin, that means using his elementary and rusty Spanish skills to learn first-hand what the former cardinal from Buenos Aires believes and advocates as he waits for English translations of Bergoglio's works.
"We are in the process of learning about him. I'm very encouraged so far," said Akin, senior apologist for the publisher Catholic Answers, a radio host and the author of books such as "Mass Confusion," "The Salvation Controversy" and "Father Knows Best."
The new pontiff is being highlighted for his seeming humility — living in a small apartment and taking the bus — and outreach to the poor. He's also being painted as a social activist, unlike his immediate predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who was best known as a theologian.
But scholars caution against making hasty comparisons.
"Be careful of the all-too-simplistic narrative that pits Benedict against Francis as 'traditionalist' and 'modernizer,'" said Michael Barber, a professor of theology, scripture and Catholic thought at John Paul the Great Catholic University in San Diego. "Simply put, Francis has advocated the teachings of both John Paul II and Pope Benedict. Benedict was no 'business as usual' pope: He appointed the first woman as undersecretary of a pontifical council. He systematically revised canon law, enacting stricter regulations for clergy involved with sexual abuse. He implemented key reforms of the Vatican bank."
Akin and Barber are both experts on Catholicism and devout Catholics.
After studying the different paths of Christianity, Akin converted from the evangelical church to Catholicism. He studied philosophy of religion at the University of Arkansas.
As a boy, Barber aspired to play baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then a lecture by Scott Hahn, a former Protestant pastor who became a Catholic, changed his mind.
"This man gave up everything and risked his whole career to become Catholic," said Barber, who went on to earn a doctorate degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. "I found his arguments compelling and wanted to learn more."
Akin and Barber point to several important factors in understanding Pope Francis: his Jesuit order, his papal name and the clues offered by his first few actions as pontiff.
The Society of Jesus
Jesuits and Franciscans are two of the church's orders, each with its own focus but all united in the core tenets of Catholicism.
The orders represent communities of members who take certain vows such as poverty, chastity and obedience, Barber said.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola founded the Jesuit order in the 16th century. Since that inception, the order has concentrated on spreading the faith, promoting education, helping the Holy Father and pursuing missionary work. Some of the world's most famous universities and preparatory high schools are run by Jesuits.
"In the 16th century, Protestantism was also beginning to spread and Jesuits were enlisted at that time by popes and other officials to help explain the Catholic faith," Barber said. "Many of the early Jesuits therefore were sent to Germany, the place where Martin Luther launched the Reformation."
There are about 2,900 Jesuit priests and brothers in the United States and roughly 20,000 worldwide, he said.

Nelson Mandela lies critically ill in his hospital bed in Pretoria. But his spiritual strength is tangible, informed by his experience of struggle and hardship. It is universally acknowledged that his period of incarceration made him the leader he is.
"And it came to pass... that Moses spoke to the children of Israel" Deuteronomy 1:3
The notion of cities of refuge has classically been understood as a safe haven for one who has unintentionally caused the death of another human being. No doubt, in the case of accidental death, an individual may have needed to seek sanctuary from those who might wish to enact revenge (similar to the sanctuary that a foreign embassy offers its nationals today).
God informs Moses that he is about to die and therefore will not enter the Land of Israel. It is a measure of Moses's greatness that his immediate concern on hearing these tidings is for the welfare of the people and their future leadership. God immediately responds to Moses's request with an instruction to appoint Joshua.
So magical is the capacity of Balaam's donkey to talk that it is listed in Pirkei Avot (5:6) as one of the wonders created at twilight on the eve of Shabbat, along with other mysterious things such as Miriam's well or manna.
In Parashat Chukkat, we suddenly find ourselves in the fortieth year in the wilderness. This is a period which witnesses the death of Miriam and Aaron. Moses, too, will be unable to enter the land due to his mishandling of yet another water crisis. Nor, does it seem, that the children of Israel have progressed from the cantankerous rabble that had left Egypt forty years earlier.
And so ended the rebellion led by Korach, the eponymous villain of our parashah. Oscar Wilde commented on the degree to which "life imitates art". We might elaborate on his thesis with the parallel proposition that at the moment "life is imitating the parashah".
Parashat Shelach Lecha begins with the spies forgetting their mission and ends with God giving us a tool, tzitzit, so we will always remember our mission. While the Torah does not explicitly make this connection, it seems a reasonable one to draw, as the failure of the spies' mission stems from their lack of confidence and inability to view themselves, as God does, as a "treasured people".
"And the people became complainers of evil in the ears of the Lord" Numbers 11:1
V Once again we find the people complaining about the hardships of their journey from Egypt towards the Promised Land. In this week's parashah, the complaints are ostensibly about the bland regularity of the manna. The people demanded meat instead.
This important blessing, so well known and used with gratitude by Judeo-Christian traditions, is ubiquitous in many services. But it's curious. God is usually responsible for blessing. Yet here it is Aaron and his sons, the priests, who are asked to do the blessing.

Postgraduate Certificate / Diploma in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language
Programme Code: POFD0001
Start of programme: Monday 10 October 2016
3 Terms During Academic Year 2016-2017
Mode of Attendance: Full-time
This SOAS Language Centre programme of professional development leads to highly sought after and widely accepted post-graduate qualifications (Certificate and Diploma) in teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language. These awards have contributed substantially to the professionalising of Arabic teaching in the UK and elsewhere and to the recognition of the expertise of teachers of Arabic as a Foreign or Second Language.
The Certificate in Teaching Arabic is designed:
- to meet the rapidly growing demand in the UK and elsewhere for trained and qualified teachers of Arabic as a foreign language.
- to equip trainees with the knowledge and skills which will enable them to teach Arabic to a broad spectrum of Arabic learners in UK, European and worldwide educational contexts.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching Arabic is designed to:
- equip trainees to be able to deal professionally with the teaching of Arabic in different contexts and through the integration of different varieties of the Arabic language.
- familiarise trainees with the theoretical principles underlying the content and design of instructional materials and teaching/testing techniques.
- provide trainees with the knowledge and skills and the supported teaching practice to enable them to teach Arabic using the latest communicative methods.
- show trainees how to create coherent and progressive schemes of work and design effective and efficient lesson plans that are adapted to students' learning needs.
- show trainees how to analyse empirical data in order to evaluate second language learners' performance objectively and how to describe achievement and proficiency levels using appropriate terminology.
- enable trainees to fulfil supervisory and pedagogical lead roles such as those of syllabus designer, course co-ordinator, teacher mentor and materials developer.
Graduates will be qualified and well-prepared for teaching Arabic in higher education in the UK, Europe and other parts of the world, for teaching Arabic at private institutions or companies, for fulfilling administrative or consultative roles in educational organisations and for undertaking commissioning and editing in companies which create and market Arabic language courseware.
Term Dates:
Term 1: Monday 10 October 2016 - Friday 16 December 2016 (10 weeks)
Term 2: Monday 9 January 2017 - Friday 17 March 2017 (11 weeks)

NB: Term 3 covers a 3-week Easter break 3 April - 21 April
The overall learning required is full-time, though attendance in sessions at SOAS is not required 5 days per week. The course requires attendance on normally three days per week, depending on assignments set and appointments to observe live teaching which may be on an evening or on a Saturday. The overall learning required is full-time, though attendance in session at SOAS is not required 5 days per week. The days where no presence at SOAS is required are to be devoted to lesson planning and materials preparation, writing of self-reflections and peer appraisals, readings of theoretical applied linguistics and teaching theory books/journal articles, self-access learning, specified VLE learning activities, guided independent study, assigned homework tasks and completion of formal assessments. The programme is very demanding and students will be expected to spend at least 20-30 hours of study outside of class every week.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching Arabic is equivalent to 3 post-graduate level course units carrying 135 CATS credits.
The Postgraduate Certificate in teaching Arabic is equivalent to 1.5 post-graduate level course units carrying 67.5 CATS credits.
Trainees take compulsory courses in two main areas.
1. Principles and Practice in Communicative Language Teaching for Arabic:
- Arabic Applied Linguistics (0.5 unit)
- Language Awareness, Methods and Techniques in Teaching Arabic (1 unit)
2. Knowledge and Skills for Second Language Teaching:
- Theories of Language Learning and Acquisition (0.5 unit)
- Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching and Language Assessment (1 unit)
Teaching Practice
A key component of the course is the opportunity for live observation of experienced teachers, followed by teaching practice of Arabic with different types of student groups, covering a range of levels. Trainees will observed and assessed in teaching Arabic, including the quality of lesson plans and teaching materials they have created, competencies in using a range of different communicative teaching techniques and ability to create rapport and establish a co-operative learning environment.
All our teacher trainers are expert classroom teachers themselves. Have a look at one of them teaching and see the kinds of classroom skills you will learn to use yourself.
The following is a typical timetable but may be subject to change each term. On non-teaching days, trainees will work on independent assignments set for submission or recommended for independent study by the course tutors.
|Knowledge and Skills for Second Language Teaching
Language Awareness, Methods and Practice in Teaching Arabic
|Teaching Practice
Feedback and Learning for Teaching
Student Evaluation
Our teacher trainees are always very positive about the quality of the teacher training programmes at the Language Centre. This is what Eman, a recent graduate from the Arabic Teacher Training programme, had to say about it:
"When I joined the course, I already had experience in teaching Arabic. However, this course has shown me a completely different approach to teaching Arabic. It made me re-think my teaching methods and strategies and helped me when designing my courses and syllabuses and preparing my teaching materials. Our studies consisted of lectures, seminars, workshops, peer teaching sessions and research activities. During the course, you will have the chance to teach students at SOAS and gain experience of using different kinds of equipment and teaching strategies."
PG Diploma in Teaching Arabic: £7,200.00. The Diploma programme fees can be paid in two instalments:

SEATTLE (AP) — The sentencing for Colton Harris-Moore in the "Barefoot Bandit" case has been rescheduled to Dec. 9 in federal court in Seattle to allow more time to settle state charges. He had been scheduled for sentencing Oct. 28.
Defense attorney John Henry Browne told The Daily Herald (http://bit.ly/pcIGvr ) extra time also was requested by federal probation officials to review documents describing Harris-Moore's childhood on Camano Island.
Harris-Moore is accused of a multistate crime spree that included plane theft, boat theft and multiple burglaries in homes and business. He evaded arrest for more than two years and was arrested in July 2010 in the Bahamas.
In June, Harris-Moore pleaded guilty to seven federal charges, but he still faces more than 30 charges in Island, Skagit, San Juan and Snohomish counties.

Are The US And Russia Back At It Again?
I don't see any overarching national interest being defended by our intent to strike Syria. I don't see any humanitarian objective that it will truly favor. I think it is a waste of time, a waste of resources and a dubious waste of innocent life.

Skip to comments.Greece loses EU voting power in blow to sovereignty
Posted on 02/16/2010 1:04:10 PM PST by jpl
The council of EU finance ministers said Athens must comply with austerity demands by March 16 or lose control over its own tax and spend policies altogether. It if fails to do so, the EU will itself impose cuts under the draconian Article 126.9 of the Lisbon Treaty in what would amount to economic suzerainty.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
The EU is evil. Leave now, Greece.
Best post on this topic I've seen so far.
tick, tick, tick. BOOM!
Oh, Suzerainty,
Don't you cry for me...............
suzerainty [ˈsuːzərəntɪ] n pl -ties
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) the position, power, or dignity of a suzerain
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) the relationship between suzerain and subject
su·ze·rain (szr-n, -z-rn)
1. A nation that controls another nation in international affairs but allows it domestic sovereignty.
2. A feudal lord to whom fealty was due.
"...Economic suzerainty."
Like THAT's gonna go down real well....
Whaaaat? Greece spends itself into bankruptcy, elects a Socialist Government and demands the EU bail it out. How is this the fault of the "evil EU"?
The BOOM was this afternoon..............
"...Economic suzerainty."
Like THAT's gonna go down real well....
The EU is evil. Leave now, Greece.
Totally Correct! I pray that the heroic Greek people will re-discver that it takes only 300 not the EU!!!!!
Greece is stuck. The alternative is Zimbabwe inflation.
This is predictable. Stay part of the Euro, get a bailout but lose your sovereignity. Or voluntarily or involuntarily leave the Euro. It will be very interesting to see ow the Greeks respond to this.
I believe in being succinct.
Shades of California's future?
Who then would subsidize Greece ?
The Greek government are the beggars in this situation.
More likely (though very unlikely anyway) is that Greece would be expelled from the EU as a deadbeat.
Um, by making Dutchmen and Spaniards pay for it?
Perhaps that's what the Greek government needs to become self sustaining. No good can come from the EU.
1914: Wow. What a rotten situation Europe finds itself in.
1932: Wow. What a rotten situation Europe finds itself in.
1945: Wow. What a rotten situation Europe finds itself in.
1973: Wow. What a rotten situation Europe finds itself in.
2010: Wow. What a rotten situation Europe finds itself in.
Hey, maybe they could call on Soros! He's Greek!
elects a Socialist Government and demands the EU bail it out
If it's true about Greece (it is not), then you can say that about the US too (which is true).
Greece is the most anti-American country in Europe, for no particular reason I can discover.
>> maybe they could call on Soros! He's Greek! <<
Nope, he's Hungarian.
And the alternative is?
I always thought that the after the reunification, Germany was going to accomplish economically what it failed to do militarily. The Germans will rule Europe. Their problem is that they first destroyed it and killed off all it's real men at Verdun, the Somme and Stalingrad. What's left isn't really worth ruling.
Soros is a international finance pimp - a Hungarian Jew—probably a secular one.
Trust me he is not very well liked by most Greeks.
I emailed this to my BIL in Germany. Years ago, I had warned him that this could happen, and he called me stoopid! hahaha
What's that you say? ...I didn't do anything, because I wasn't a Jew...
Dutchmen yes, but the Spaniards are net recipients of EU funds. The people actually paying for most of the EU deadbeats are the Germans.
I'll provide references.....
>> The EU is evil <<
Maybe so. But Greece under the Papandreou Dynasty has been an economic basket case, not to mention one of the most anti-USA nations on the planet. The Hellenes are simply reaping what they've sown.
They have been socialist for a long time. They don't need any other reason....................
I cannot think of a nationality they actually like. Xenophobia is a Greek word (sorta like "Windex).
He's actually a Hungarian Jew. His real last name is Schwartz.
Kick their broke no Drachma-having asses out of the EU.
As a casual observer, it seems Europe is run like a family with the Germans playing the whipped husband continuously writing the checks for the wife, France, and the wife passing along some of the money to the kids, PIGS.
And was a young Kapo (Judas Goat for Jews during the Holocaust) during the war, if the rumors are to be believed.
So why does he have a Greek name?
Anyway, I got curious (like maybe his father was Greek even though he was born in Hungary) and noticed this:
Father: Tivadar Schwartz (attorney, d. 1968)
Mother: Erzebet Szucz
Given that his pursuits seem to be at odds with the interest of Israel, perhaps he's one of those Jew-hating Jews.
That's the kind of statement that shows you know very little about the real situation.
Greece has been a faithful ally of the West and has sacrificed much blood and treasure to resist Fascism and Communism in three world wars: I, II, and Korea and the Cold one.
Let's not even talk about its 1300 year resistance to Mohamedans.
So please if you don't know what you're talking about stifle it.
As Greek as goulash.
What about Italy?
Very casual. And very ignorant of history.
There was a time when the husband went psychotic and tried to kill the whole family.
Totalitarianism isn't so fun now is it Greece?
They'll be fine once they take those Crucifixes off their walls.
I am talking about post-World War history.
Yeah Soros is a poisonous piece of work. Most Balkan Christians despise him.
not to mention they have lived up to their overflight treaties without trying to extort more money.
part of the problem is the infestation of communists that FDR allowed to inhabit Greece as part of the post wwii planing.
You forgot the 1990s with the Serb-Croat war they didn't fight.
So maybe Greece can cozy up to Turkey and together they can join up with the moosies.
WHAT, Cyprus?

Crystal Palace 1 - Chelsea 0: Blues' title charge derailed by vibrant Eagles
CHELSEA'S title hopes took a huge dent as John Terry's own goal condemned the Blues to defeat.
Terry has been 'Mr Chelsea' for so long but his second-half own goal might have ripped the Premier League trophy away from Jose Mourinho and his men.
And it could have been worse as Palace missed chance after chance.
Mourinho was pulling his hair out watching his side put in a truly lackluster performance.
The Chelsea boss has constantly ruled his side out of the title race and if Man City beat Arsenal this evening it could be game over.
City have three games in hand on Mourinho's men and are just three points behind the London side.
Looks like Mourinho could have been right after all.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Norichika Aoki's two-run double highlighted a four-run seventh inning that propelled the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 win over the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a three-game set at Miller Park.
Carlos Gomez added a sacrifice fly for the Brewers, who have won seven straight home games.
Wily Peralta limited the NL wild card-leading Braves to one run on seven hits over six innings in his second major league start.
The Brewers' late offensive surge made a winner out of Jose Veras (4-4), who escaped a bases-loaded jam on a Michael Bourn flyout in the top of the seventh.
Atlanta threatened again in the eighth, but Martin Prado was gunned down trying to reach third base on a Freddie Freeman single to end the inning.
John Axford tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his 28th save of the season.
Mike Minor gave up two hits, walked two and struck out eight in 5 2/3 scoreless innings for Atlanta, which had its winning streak snapped at five games.

A colleague pointed me to this site on the Naked Objects Framework. I wish I could have seen the look on the face of the government official with whom the founders submitted the legal paperwork to register the Naked Objects Group in the UK.
Seriously, though, this framework seems to have some real traction in Ireland. I honestly know little about the work myself, but I've begun to remedy that by ordering Richard and Robert's book from Amazon.

Thousands of commuters travel though a Johnson County intersection each day, causing big backups during rush hour, and now a roundabout is planned to help move traffic along.
Traffic jams happen nearly everyday at the four-way stop at the intersection of Whiteland and Graham roads. Trucks coming from Franklin, commuters coming to and from Interstate 65 for work and high school students traveling home after classes all back up traffic at the intersection.
Traffic counts don't show a major increase in travel since 2004, but about 12,000 vehicles pass through the intersection daily. But Whiteland officials expect traffic to continue to grow in the future as more people move into the county and as the town hopes to start a business park east of the intersection.
The roundabout is part of Whiteland's long-term plan to develop the area between downtown and Interstate 65 to attract businesses and industry, Whiteland planning and zoning director Nathan Bilger said. Whiteland annexed the area around the intersection last year and will now take over the intersection project, which was originally planned by the county.
Road to roundabout
Backup: Traffic gets backed up at the intersection of Whiteland and Graham roads because drivers can't get through the four-way stop quickly.
Roundabout: Whiteland is planning to build a roundabout, which will allow traffic to move through the intersection more quickly.
Costs: The county received approval for federal funding for the estimated $1.1 million project. Whiteland will get that federal funding, which will cover 80 percent of the construction costs.
Timeline: No timeline has been set for the project yet. The federal funds would need to be used by 2014, but Whiteland can apply for a time extension if needed.
Plans: The roundabout would relieve current traffic problems but also fit into Whiteland's plans to make the Whiteland Road area between downtown and Interstate 65 into a business and industrial park.
The town hasn't started planning or designing the estimated $1.1 million project yet and doesn't have a timetable of when work might start, Whiteland town manager Dennis Capozzi said.
Officials also aren't yet sure how the project would be paid for.
Eighty percent of the construction cost will be paid for with federal grant dollars. But the estimated $220,000 match and extra expenses for engineering expenses and the costs to buy property will have to be paid by the town. Whiteland hasn't determined where that money will come from yet, Bilger said.
The federal grant dollars are supposed to be used by 2014, but Whiteland could apply for a time extension since it is now inheriting the project, Johnson County Highway Department director Luke Mastin said.
County officials said traffic backups have become more common over the years around rush hour as commuters try to get to and from I-65, Mastin said.
At certain times, westbound traffic can back up about a mile all the way to the interstate off-ramp, county engineer Mike Pelham said. Bilger hasn't seen cars back up that far but did say it can take several minutes before drivers get through the intersection.
A portion of the traffic at the intersection is truck traffic coming from Franklin's industrial park south on Graham Road. Semitrailers often use Graham and Whiteland roads to get to I-65, because that is easier to navigate than traveling through Franklin to reach the interstate, Mastin said.
Traffic moves slowest through intersections controlled by stop signs, while roundabouts allow drivers to get through an intersection the fastest, Mastin said.
Every driver has to stop at a four-way stop, and at times only one car may be in the intersection at a time. With a roundabout, vehicles can enter from all four directions at the same time if there is room and continue moving while in the roundabout, which allows for more efficient traffic flow.
The intersection of Morgantown and Fairview roads in the Center Grove area previously had a four-way stop that officials decided was no longer the best fit for the intersection, Mastin said. Drivers would get backed up at the heavily-traveled intersection. The roundabout that was installed there has since allowed more cars to move through the intersection and reduced traffic jams.
The county originally had considered either adding new turn lanes and a stoplight at the intersection of Whiteland and Graham roads or a roundabout, Mastin said.
The roundabout appears to be the best option to handle the most traffic and Whiteland plans to pursue that design, Capozzi said.
The town wants to attract new factories and office buildings around the interstate, similar to what Greenwood and Franklin have already done at their exits. Having a roundabout could help attract companies if it helps cut down on traffic backups on Whiteland Road, Bilger said.
"We're trying to be somewhat progressive and use this project to spur that growth out there. It will alleviate what problems are there already and provide a road system that will be ready for future development," Bilger said.

Am I the only one who actually kind of likes Vanilluxe along with the rest of the evo line? People seem to hate it just for being based off of Ice-cream but with the typing of ice, I'm actually surprised that it took Gamefreak this long to make an Ice-cream Pokemon. It's one of few pure ice types that actually have pretty nice over-all stats and a good enough move-pool to back it up. And it's actually very cute if you think about it. Besides, it's more like an icicle then actual ice-cream due to how it resembles a pointy ice, stalagtite.

Your moment of cute today: Wally the Welsh Corgi cosplays as each doctor from Doctor Who, and is adorable at it.

Researchers in China are reportedly the first to use a powerful gene editing tool to produce super-muscled dogs. The goal is to create test subjects that mimic degenerative human diseases, but the breakthrough also raises the prospect of customized pets.
I was surfing through Itunes the other day when I came across a surprise gem. Stray Ami is a podcast similar to the rather ubiquitous Welcome to Nightvale, in that every episode tells a continuous narrative, rather than your usual podcast format of hosted interviews or full-cast dramas. In many ways, however, it's…
Live in Seattle and own a pet? Chances are, you've named them after something geeky. KUOW.org went through the names of every pet registered in the city, and found that many Seattleites have named their pets after pop culture icons.
You probably don't know your cat as well as you think you do. According to a recent survey of cat owners in the UK, most people are pretty clueless about their cats' lives.
Does your cat remind you of Daenerys Targaryen? Is your dog more of a Jon Snow or a Tyrion Lannister? The pet portraiture artists at Spendid Beast have done a series of paintings that place household into Game of Thrones — and best of all, they take commissions.
A team of geneticists is ready to unlock the secrets behind Internet celebrity cat Lil Bub's unique appearance.
Keeping a pet healthy requires resources and open space, and in the cities of the future both may be at such a premium that live pets will become a thing of the past. Australian researcher Jean-Loup Rault suggests robotic and virtual-reality pets may replace the real thing.
Do you ever come home to your adorable pet bunny, pick it up, lay it down on its back, and pet it? Does it just lie there, blissfully, for minutes or even hours, letting you cuddle it? Yeah. Your rabbit hates you.
One of the oddest films about mental illness to come along in awhile, this pitch black comedy from Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) follows the downward spiral of Jerry (Ryan Reynolds), a fellow driven to violence by the voices in his head… which seem to be emanating from his pets. Some spoilers follow.
A pet alligator was seized after some 37 years spent chilling in its owners' backyard ... and maybe snacking on neighborhood cats. "You cannot own a reptile like this in the City of Los Angeles without having a proper permit," an Animal Services rep said. "And obviously for an alligator, we would not permit that."
Wearable tech like fitness bands and GPS trackers are all the rage, and our pets are starting to use them, too. These tools can help us monitor and track our companion animals. But these devices are also changing our pets' capabilities and how we interact with them. We've entered the age of cyborg animals.
Do you own a hypoallergenic dog? I thought I did, too* – but surprise! Apparently they don't exist.
Once upon a time, one Dr. Simon Chapman of the University of Sydney received a short note from a local farmer: "Have you university types ever looked at whether dog bites happen more around the full moon? It's a well known fact that they do." Chapman decided to put this urban legend to the test.
Chimps who are removed from their mothers early in life and raised by humans as pets or performers are more likely to develop behavioral and social problems, according to new research.
This was the first place winner in Petco Mexico's Star Wars Contest. It's pretty good. It's no small boy and his dog, but it's pretty good.
Usually, people prefer cats with full, robust fur, shunning those mangier specimens with thin, scraggly hairs. But that might be changing. The "werewolf cat" just might be the next big thing.
