How Learning Styles Translate to Music Lessons
It's common knowledge that different people have different learning styles. It's also not uncommon for one person to prefer a mix of several learning styles. Others may find that they prefer to use certain learning styles in different settings. There is no perfect combination for everyone, nor are these styles set in stone. And it's not just in a classroom settings – music teachers and students should consider these different styles within private lessons, also. Here are some ideas for accommodating different learning styles:
Visual learners often have the most success learning music through pictures and images. They process information through spatial reasoning techniques.
Strategies and Tips: Look for opportunities to use visual learning materials in your music lessons as often as possible. Teachers, if you've been primarily explaining the concept through verbal and auditory means, consider visual options to foster a deeper understanding. Students, don't forget pencils to mark up your music, or even more eye-catching visual tactics like colored post-it notes.
Aural or auditory-musical students learn best through sound and music.
Strategies and Tips: This one is pretty straightforward, since students who are interested in learning music through private music lessons either prefer this style or at least have an interest in bettering their skills in it! To push yourself further, listen to genres you may not usually listen to, and concentrate on auditory patterns, improvisation lines, and enhancing your musical ear.
Verbal or linguistic learners opt to use words prominently through both writing and speech in their learning.
Strategies and Tips: For many types of private music lessons, it may be more natural to provide modeling through auditory and visual means, such as playing a piece of music yourself or playing a recording of it. Verbal learners may benefit from a written component, as well. For example, if you are teaching scales, don't be afraid to seek out written worksheets that your students can use during their lessons as well as at home. Students, deepen your connection to a piece of music by writing in a journal about the overall tone, or write out some lyrics.
Physical or kinesthetic learners prefer to use their sense of touch to learn.
Strategies and Tips: Consider the sensory elements of your private lesson space. Physical learners may pick up on sensory components that do not affect most people. If a student is having trouble learning music because of a physical aspect of a room, for example, look for simple fixes, such as providing a different type of seat or getting rid of distractions.
Logical or mathematics-oriented learners process information through reasoning and logic.
Strategies and Tips: While
many students may accept the merit of new skill set, such as learning new key signatures or an alternate fingering, logical learners often need further explanation. Why is this skill important? How will they be able to apply it to other aspects of learning music? Take the time to delve into their curiosity so they get the reasoning for staying motivated with their learning. Students, if you're not understanding a concept (or why learning it is important), make sure you ask your teacher for more information.
Social or interpersonal-oriented students enjoy working in groups and with other people on a regular basis.
Strategies and Tips: Even if you teach or take private music lessons, there are many social opportunities for music out there! Are there local youth orchestras or bands in your area? Teacher, do you have other private students who might want to meet up with each other? Encourage your student to take advantage of these opportunities as much as possible.
Solitary or intrapersonal learners prefer to work by themselves with self-study methods the majority of the time.
Strategies and Tips: This learning style caters naturally to the private music lesson format.
Seek solitary performance and competition opportunities for these students, and don't force them to participate in group learning or duets if they're not comfortable.

Dave and Alice had one son, Richmond Overton. Dave never returned home to his family.
Alice was the daughter of Peggie Demyers. Various records place her birth year somewhere between 1830 and 1845. Alice often told her grandchildren that Mississippi was not the place of her birth. Census records show Kentucky and Mississippi as her place of birth. She married Elijah Usher 20 Sep 1866, in Copiah County, MS. They lived in Copiah County, Mississippi, near Hazlehurst. I believe Dave, Alice and her mother Peggie were the slaves of the Hezekiah Brown and Taliaferro families.
Here are a few of her letters asking for a pension.
Received Oct 5 1923 by U. S. Bureau of Pensions

The safest and most natural way to health and fitness is right under your nose - your feet. Walking has been rediscovered by millions as one of the most safe and effective forms of exercise. In fact, 90 million Americans walk as their exercise of choice, according to a National Park Service survey, and that number is expected to continue to increase. This makes walking the No. 1 participation sport in America. This trend is true as well in the Amarillo College Fitness and Life Services Department. Fitness Walking classes are the most popular, by number, in the department.
Why this interest in an exercise as old as man, during an age of "exercise by machine?" There are almost as many reasons to choose walking as there are people who walk. Some people walk for exercise and to stay in shape, for companionship, for "time alone," for a break during a hectic day, to explore and travel or to rediscover their surroundings and nature. People who walk know they are strengthening their hearts and improving their health.
The more you walk, the more reasons you'll find to fit walking into your daily routine. One of the advantages of walking is that it offers a balanced approach to muscle strengthening without the risk of injury inherent to running. As you run, you land with three to four times the force of your body weight each time your foot hits the ground. Walking greatly reduces these stresses. Even people who enjoy running can reduce the chance of exercise injuries by alternating walking and running workouts.
Because walking is aerobic, it strengthens your heart. The activity has been a positive element in the recovery of patients who have suffered a heart attack. Virtually every cardiac rehabilitation program in America bases its exercise program on walking. That is no surprise because walking is a safe way to strengthen the heart muscle.
Anyone, at any age, in almost any physical condition, can walk because it's safe and virtually injury-free. Physicians and medical groups encourage people to walk to strengthen and condition the heart and lungs. And for healthy feet, there is no better exercise than walking, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association.
The AC Wellness Committee is seeing the benefits of walking and encouraging its employees to start walking. Members sponsor a seven-week-long walking program called the AC Walkabout. Participants form teams of five people and log their miles weekly. T-shirts and prizes will be given out for various milestones reached during the seven weeks.
The AC Classified Employees Association is sponsoring a run/walk.
The walk will be May 10 on the AC East Campus. Participants can walk (1 mile) for fun or run (5K or 10K). Entry fee is $15 if received before April 15. Contact Cynthia Urbina at 371-5010 for more information.
Golf is another great way to get lots of fun relaxing and walking miles logged. AC spring golf classes will begin Tuesday. The classes are held at Preston West Golf Course at either 1 p.m. or 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. To register, go to the AC Assistance Center in the Student Service Center.
Craig Clifton is an instructor at Amarillo College in the Fitness and Life Services Department. He can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and by phone at 371-5299.

In this special edition, I thought it only fitting that I do a special column. It's no secret that I love books — I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning.
Lately, we've had an ongoing discussion at the library, with those on our strategic plan committees. I'm in the camp that people read for fun, aka recreation.
To the editor:
My wife and I were recently in Anderson County on a short vacation and family history search. William Henry Bell was a great-great-grandfather of my wife, and I understand there may still be some of the Bells living in the area.
We greatly enjoyed our visit and are appreciative of the kindnesses and assistance we received from the people who work at the library and city hall.
The local bakery was a delightful place and we enjoyed strolling Main Street.
To the editor:
As a retired couple playing tourists, my wife and I took a 46-day, 9,700 mile road trip through the southern states, including making hotel reservations for Sept. 23-24 in Frankfort.
After making these reservations, I then tried to make reservations for the next two nights in Lexington, but found the room rates to be $400 a night due to the World Equestrian Games, in which I had no interest.
To the editor:
It's post election time and there's someone that we all need to be excited for as our new 55th District state representative, and that be Mrs. Kimberly King.
With style, grace and the unique touch of class (lacking among many of our current day politicians) Kim King made her acceptance speech with several in attendance.
Column as I see 'em …
It's more than a bit ironic that the percentage of elected public officials who attended Sunday's Veterans Day ceremony mirrors almost exactly the survival rate of a local vet's horrifying experience in Korea.
Get this: There were 40 or so people running for public office on the Nov. 2 ballot, and four (County Clerk Jason Denny, Mayor Edwinna Baker, Jailer Joani Clark and City Councilman Larry Giles) attended the ceremony, which equals around 10 percent.
Don't you just love that it gets dark at 5:30 p.m. these days?
Yeah, me neither.
However, while staring out the office window at the moon at 6 p.m. on a Monday night, I decided not to dwell on that.
Sure, we all hate that it gets dark so early. It's no fun to get home from work after the sun sets, but (in the spirit of the upcoming holiday) I've decided to compile a list of things I'm thankful for now that Daylight Saving Time has ended.
Well, we fell back and got a little more daylight, for a time.
As we move closer to the winter solstice, those few precious hours allow us to get ready for the long, dark nights. It's amazing how it changes our behavior.
In the summer, I don't think twice about popping over to the neighbors at 9 p.m. Shoot, most of us were still outside enjoying the weather and the garden. Now, as the long night moves closer, we're probably already in our jammies by then.
Column as I see 'em …
Between the flat-out lies that have been told and the cowards who have scurried around like disease-spreading rodents attempting to anonymously smear those they don't like, this judge-executive election was among the nastiest I've ever seen.

Forest Disease Newsletter: Yellow-Headed Spruce Sawfly
Yellow-headed Spruce Sawfly
The following article was written by John Luhman of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and is an integrated pest management strategy for controlling yellow-headed spruce sawflies on young spruce trees.
Timed incorrectly, spraying insecticides is often ineffective at preventing long term tree damage and loss. This is because spraying is usually begun when most of the feeding damage has already occurred, too late to kill enough of the larvae and just at the time natural enemies (mostly insects) are at their peak. Spraying trees with mature 5th or 6th instar larvae kills many of the parasitic flies and wasps and other predators that are trying to naturally control these instars. This sets the stage for reinfestation the following year, since most of the natural enemies die from the insecticide treatment or die within killed larvae.
More than forty different insect parasites have been reared from yellowhead spruce sawfly larvae. Even small areas will have a half dozen different parasites. The strategy then is to avoid killing the local parasite populations so they can become established and reduce or eliminate the sawfly population. Since most of the parasites lay most of their eggs in late instar larvae, any insecticide application should be for early instars. For small clumps of trees, knocking the larvae off by striking the branch stem can be just as effective as insecticidal treatment. Sawfly larvae then fall prey to ground predators.
The life cycle of the spruce sawfly is well known. Females lay eggs in the new growth (candles), during late May or early June depending on the weather. The newly hatched larvae will be evident the first two weeks in June, so sites should be monitored for them. Since the larvae feed gregariously (large numbers feeding together), spray coverage would only need to be on the candles to kill large numbers of larvae. Look for defoliation and the reddish head and yellow and blackish green stripped body of the larvae. More than fifteen insecticidal products are labeled for use against these sawflies. Remember that Bt is not effective on sawflies. Spraying should cease by the third week of June or when larvae are more than ½ inch long. This is when most of the natural enemies, especially parasitic flies and wasps, are present.

The greens at The Hasentree Club are creeping bentgrass, agrostis stolonifera. More specifically, the bentgrass is a variety called Penn A-4. Bentgrass is what is known as a cool season turf, meaning that it grows best in temperatures of 65-80 degrees. The A-4 that we have at Hasentree is adapted to higher temperatures than many other varieties but still requires many cultural practices in order to keep it healthy and thriving.
During the summer months the maintenance staff at Hasentree will spend countless hours "watching" greens in the afternoons during these hot days. Our assistants spend their afternoons looping the golf course looking for any signs of stress or wilt (wilting turfgrass shows up as purple in color). If the temperatures are extremely high we will often mist the greens down to use the evaporative cooling of the water to lower the temperature on the surface.
"Watching" greens is the final cultural practice to keep greens alive through the summer heat. There is much more that is done before the heat of the day to help reduce the possibility of wilt. Our crew inspects each green every morning and takes moisture readings on a digital soil moisture meter as well as pulling cores to get a visual image of what is happening to the roots. The assistants will pay close attention to areas that are chronically the first ones to show summer stress.
There are numerous additional practices that must take place before the heat sets in, and often during heat spells, in order to help ensure our greens survival as well. For example, below is a snapshot of what our crew did this week before the long 4th of July weekend.
Monday June 30
Our crew took advantage of the golf course being closed to use solid tines and aerify the greens. The solid tines do not pull a core but rather open holes and channels in the surface. Air movement and the ability of the roots to breath is the single most important thing we can do to help the plants. These channels allow water and oxygen to more efficiently move into the rootzone. The channels will also allow carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide to be released from the soil. These gases, if left in the soil, would prove toxic to turfgrass roots.
Once the greens were aerified, we roll the green in order to smooth out the tufting that occurs with the solid tines. Most of the time, a golfer wouldn't even recognize that this had been done after the roll. Since we were closed, we then applied gypsum or calcium sulfate. The gypsum will bind chemically to the salts that accumulate in the soil during the summer months. The salts will become toxic as well to the roots if left alone.
We applied the gypsum knowing that we were going to "flush" the greens that night. "Flushing" is the act of applying a significant amount of water to the green in an attempt to fill the sand cavity that the greens are built in. Once there is enough water to fill the entire depth of the greens cavity, it creates enough pressure to allow the water to drain quickly out the bottom of the green through the drainage pipe. Once this happens it literally "flushes" and as it drains rapidly out of the green it also pulls the salts and other detrimental contaminants out with it. Additionally this "flush" evens up the water throughout the rootzone and allows for more even moisture.
Tuesday July 1
We begin the flush very early in the morning and it still takes until around 8:00am to finish all 22 greens. We are able to get the front nine greens done well before this time in order to stay ahead of play for the day. Once the flush is complete we allow the greens to drain and then roll them to smooth out any softness that may still be there.
Later in the day, we went out and applied 0-0-25, potassium. Potassium is an essential nutrient in the plant to strengthen cell walls and help the plant against the heat. Potassium is also very mobile in the soil and whatever potassium was left in the soil was "flushed" out of the green along with the all of the detrimental materials.
Wednesday July 2
This morning our assistants applied a product called "Turfscreen" to the greens along with some preventative fungicide. The Turfscreen is a pigment that also has the same products approved by the FDA for use in sunscreen for people, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide! The turfscreen does exactly what sunscreen does for people, it protects the leaf blades from the suns UVA and UVB rays by reflecting them. In studies that we performed two years ago, we noticed a noticeable reduction in the surface temperature of the green when using this product.
As you can see, a lot of careful attention and hard work goes into keeping the greens at The Hasentree Club in good condition and healthy. As mentioned above, this is just a quick snapshot of what we do. A lot of work throughout the year goes into maintaining bentgrass greens throughout the summer. From fall and spring core aerifications to a strong fertility program to help build roots, everything that is done is well thought out and has a purpose.

Jaipur: Naman Ojha slammed his ninth first-class century and took Madhya Pradesh to safety on day three of their Ranji Trophy Group A game against hosts Rajasthan on Monday.
Ojha, who struck eleven boundaries and three huge sixes - one of which went out of the ground, strung 134-run partnership for the opening wicket with Zafar Ali, who too played well for his knock of 54 after Ishwar Pandey's 6 for 92 restricted Rajasthan to 379 in their first innings, with a lead of 123 runs over the visitors.
Ojha got to his century by smacking offspinner Madhur Khatri for a six and a four in the last over of the day. At stumps, MP reached 200 for 1, leading Rajasthan by 77 runs, with Ojha and Satyam Choudhary batting on 102 and 33 respectively.
Earlier, the lower order of Rajasthan, who started the day from 306 for 6, looked determined although most of the runs they scored had come through edges. Dishant Yagnik added another eleven runs to his overnight total of 21 before giving Ishwar his fifth wicket.
Ishwar, 23, kept the Rajasthan batsmen under pressure and got his sixth wicket when Rituraj Singh (7) was caught at second slip by Zafar. Madhur Khatri, meanwhile, showed some resistance, keeping MP bowlers at bay as much as he could and playing some attractive grounded strokes in the meantime.
Pankaj Singh looked hostile during his 21-ball stay but gave a simple catch to Amarjeet Singh off left-arm spinner Rameez Khan. Anand Rajan finished the Rajasthan innings by castling Aniket Choudhary for a duck, with Khatri remaining unbeaten on 47.
MP openers, Zafar and Ojha, had a mixed start, driving Pankaj and Rituraj for boundaries but were also beaten outside their off stump during a short period before lunch. The duo took MP to 22 for 0 at the first break of the day.
Zafar started off with an on drive for four after the break but survived a huge appeal for a caught behind by Pankaj immediately after. While Zafar was going strong at the other end, Ojha decided to play second fiddle to his younger partner.
Having scored 75 in the session, MP went for tea at 97 for 0, with both the batsmen approaching their half-centuries. Ojha, who completed his fifty by a push to the covers, took charge after tea break, unfurling a string of boundaries. He lofted part-time spinner Ashok Menaria for two maximums in the same over. Zafar too completed his third first-class fifty by driving Rituraj to the wide of mid on.
After toiling hard for over 40 overs, Rituraj made the breakthrough when he trapped Zafar in front. Satyam, who was troubled by all the Rajasthan seamers, got a reprieve when he was dropped on 23 at backward point. Closing in on to his three-figure mark, Naman became a little cautious but an over by Khatri gave him an opportunity to score a valuable hundred.

To examine whether extrapyramidal signs (EPSs) were associated with more rapid progression of Alzheimer disease (AD).
Cross-sectional with longitudinal follow-up and the likelihood of arriving at 4 end points: Mini-Mental State Examination score of less than 9, Blessed Dementia Rating Scale score for activities of daily living of 15 or more, institutionalization, and death using a proportional hazard model with 6 variables: overall EPSs, bradykinesia, tremors, abnormal gait, cogwheel rigidity, and postural instability.
Multidisciplinary behavioral neurology research clinic.
We examined the individual EPS characteristics of 164 patients with mild—moderately probable AD, free of neuroleptic medication, participating in a longitudinal study of dementia.
Patients with AD with EPSs (n=51 [31%]) were older (P>.001) and had lower Mini-Mental State Examination scores (P=.003) than those without EPSs at study entry. Bradykinesia was present in 35 (69%) of the 51 patients with EPSs, abnormal gait in 18 (35%), rigidity in 10 (20%), postural instability in 10 (20%), tremors in 7 (14%), and oral-mandibular dyskinesia in 2 (4%). Using proportional hazard analysis with time-dependent covariates for overall EPSs and individual EPSs, adjusted by age at study entry, education, Mini-Mental State Examination score, and Blessed Dementia Rating Scale score for activities of daily living, the development of EPSs was associated with time to institutionalization (P<.001) but not with cognitive (eg, Mini-Mental State Examination score <9) or functional (eg, Blessed Dementia Rating Scale score ≥15) decline or death. However, when we examined severity of the EPSs, as measured by the New York University Parkinson's Disease Scale, the development of EPSs was associated with functional decline (P=.005). Of the individual EPSs, rigidity predicted death (P<.001) and institutionalization (P=.03), whereas tremors predicted functional decline (P=.02).
In this cohort, the presence or absence of EPSs is related to time to institutionalization, but not to severe cognitive or functional impairment or death. However, when severity of the extrapyramidal phenomenon is taken into account, EPSs are related to functional decline. Further, it appears that a subgroup of patients with AD with EPSs, where cogwheel rigidity and tremors are the core signs, can have a worse outcome.

T-Bill for Cabinet anytime now
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 25th November 2013 07:39 AM
Last Updated: 25th November 2013 07:49 AM
The Union Home Ministry, racing against time to introduce the T-Bill in the winter session of Parliament beginning December 5, is understood to have finalised the bill and referred it to the Union Law Ministry for 'final vetting' before it could be placed before the Union Cabinet.
According to sources, officials of both the Union Home Ministry and Law department are burning midnight oil to give final touches to the bill. Though indications suggest the bill might come up before the Union Cabinet on November 28, sources are not ruling out the possibility of placing the bill before the Cabinet on Monday itself if the Law Ministry completes "legal scrutiny" by Sunday night.
Having almost finalised every issue pertaining to State division, the Centre is said to have sought the opinion of the Law Ministry to address the issue of status of Hyderabad for the 10-year period during which the city will be common capital of both the proposed states.
Two options are reportedly under consideration to address this issue amicably. One is to set up a security board comprising Chief Ministers of both the States along with the Governor to oversee law and order in the common capital.
Second is to invoke Article 371(H) under which the Governor will supervise law and order in Hyderabad though he would be acting on the advice of the Council of Ministers, as is being done in the case of Arunachal Pradesh. This provision gives scope for the Governor to overrule the advice of the Council of Ministers. However, as and when the Governor feels it is no longer required to invoke Article 371(H), he can make such a case before the President for its removal.
Meanwhile, the BJP Central leadership is understood to have asked its Telangana leaders not to make too much noise on the concessions given to Seemandhra post-bifurcation as the primary demand of granting statehood to Telangana is being met.

Congers is an affluent, suburban hamlet and census-designated place in the town of Clarkstown, Rockland County, New York, United States. It is located north of Valley Cottage, east of New City, across Lake DeForest, south of Haverstraw, and west of the Hudson River. It lies 19 miles (31 km) north of New York City's Bronx boundary. As of the 2010 census, the CDP population was 8,363.[1]
Congers is located at 41°8′47″N 73°56′39″W / 41.14639°N 73.94417°W (41.146445, −73.944036).[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.9 square miles (10 km2), of which 3.2 square miles (8.3 km2) is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2) (18.39%) is water. The high percentage of Congers that sits under water is due to the hamlet's emplacement within and between four lakes: Congers Lake, Rockland Lake, Swartwout (also Swarthout) Lake, and the county reservoir, Lake DeForest. Congers is adjacent to Rockland Lake State Park, along the Hudson River.
As of the census[3] of 2000, there were 8,303 people, 2,695 households, and 2,244 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 2,635.9 per square mile (1,017.7/km²). There were 2,743 housing units at an average density of 870.8/sq mi (336.2/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 85.2% White, 1.8% African American, 0.2% Native American, 8.6% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 2.1% from other races, and 2.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.6% of the population. Estimated median household income in 2008: $99,833 (it was $79,493 in 2000) making it one of the highest earning CDP's in the county.
There were 2,695 households out of which 40.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 70.3% were married couples living together, 9.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.7% were non-families. 13.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 5.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.05 and the average family size was 3.36. In the CDP the population was spread out with 26.1% under the age of 18, 6.9% from 18 to 24, 29.7% from 25 to 44, 26.6% from 45 to 64, and 10.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 95.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.6 males.
Congers, named after Abraham B. Conger,[4] was settled in the late 17th century by Dutch, German and English settlers and was known as Cedar Grove Corner and then Waldberg, which in German means "forest mountain".
In the 19th century the Congers railroad station, three churches, a school, the firehouse and the Central and Globe hotels were built. The first floor of the then Globe hotel (pictured below) on the southeastern corner of Congers Road is presently the Last Chance Saloon. The Clarktown Dutch Reformed Church still stands at the corner of Congers Road and Kings Highway.
Kings Highway was the first major road in the county and for many years the only road from New York to Albany.
Today there exist nine structures with recognized historical markers dating back to the 18th century, including the DeBaum House on Kings Highway, the Smith House on Gilchrest Road and the Snedeker House, where the Commander-in-chief George Washington is believed to have spent a night.
The Swartout estate which was occupied by George Swartout, was part of a large tract of land confiscated by the government about 1777; It was purchased by General James Swartout who was a collaborator of George Washington, and member of a family which traced its residence in Rockland County to 1660.
St Paul's Church on Lake Road built in the early 1890s was Clarkstown's first Catholic church.
DeForest Lake, built in 1955/6, was named after Henry L. Deforest, President of the Spring Valley Works and Supply Company.

DOHA: The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has punished more than 200 companies in the first quarter (January-March) of this year for violating key provisions of the labour law.
More than 1,000 firms were issued warnings by the ministry as they were not fully complying with the provisions that aim at protecting workers' rights.
A total of 10,500 raids on some 7,443 firms were conducted by inspectors in the first quarter.
Of these, routine inspections were conducted on 6,523 companies to check their compliance with the labour law. And 3,485 raids were conducted on work sites of 920 companies to check their compliance, specifically with occupational safety rules.
Temporary bans were imposed on some three percent of the firms as punishment for violating the law, while 15.9 percent of them were issued warnings. These companies have been asked to correct their situation.
About 80 percent of firms were found to be complying with the law. This was disclosed by Qatar's Permanent Representative at the UN Office in Geneva, Faisal bin Abdullah Al Hanzab, yesterday at a meeting on the sidelines of the International Labour Conference which ends on June 12. Qatar is upgrading its rules and systems to conduct checks on construction sites to ensure that workers' rights are protected.
Construction sites will soon be connected to Ground Positioning Systems and labour inspectors would be able to locate them with ease with the help of electronic devices. In 2011, the Cabinet had set up a national occupational safety committee as part of the ministry to find out the reasons why workers suffer injuries in work place and to take remedial measures.
Many hospitals exclusively meant for workers are being built in the country, said Al Hanzab.
A wage protection system is being launched whereby workers will be paid their wages by their employers through banks and exchange houses.
Labour inspectors will check online which companies haven't paid wages to their workers in time and action will be taken against them, said the diplomat.
There are 198 inspectors with the ministry and only 16 of them are women, Al Hanzab said. He said there is no discrimination against women in the selection of inspectors. They are treated as equals with men. Their salaries and perks are the same. They are given the same incentives, he added.The Peninsula

GREENSBURG - Pat Stock walked slowly from his spot in the third base coach's box, shook the home plate umpire's hand and hugged the final hitter, Kiersten Lorditch.
When Burrell center fielder Kaitlyn Sweeney caught Lorditch's fly ball to secure a 6-2 win in the PIAA Class AA quarterfinals on a steamy Thursday afternoon at Hempfield Area High School, it ended the Pat Stock Era at Central Cambria.
The 62-year-old Stock is retiring after 34 years and 527 wins as Central Cambria's coach and will be inducted into the District 6 Hall of Fame this summer. Stock held back his emotions as he talked with his team in a postgame meeting in center field and with the media afterward.
"Like I told the kids out there that were crying, 'I should be the one that's crying because I don't get to coach another team like you again,' " he said as his voice cracked. "It will probably hit me in a few days. It's something that I've been doing since 1978, but I haven't had time to let it sink in yet.
"But it's been fun. I really enjoyed all those years of coaching. I wouldn't have even been here this year if these kids hadn't asked me to stay through their senior year."
The nine seniors, eight of whom started, convinced Stock when they were freshmen to stick it out until they graduated, which they did Thursday night.
They wanted to continue the ride into the semifinals, where they'd get either District 6 champion Philipsburg-Osceola or District 7 runner-up Greensburg Central Catholic, who were postponed to 1 p.m. today at Altoona's Logan Elementary.
"We were hoping to play Philipsburg," said senior catcher and No. 3 hitter Breanne James, who was 2-for-3 with a double. "Coach Stock never beat Philipsburg, so we were hoping to get a chance to give him his first [win], but we were really glad to make it this far.
"He is the best coach I've ever had in any sport since I started sports when I was 8 years old. I hope that we made his last year memorable."
It appeared the seniors' wish would come true as they took a 2-1 lead into the top of the fifth inning. That's when the Bucs went to the short game, and the defensive problems that cost the Lady Red Devils in the district title game against P-O showed up in a four-run inning.
After Allison Landowski worked a leadoff walk off of pitcher Jordan Makin, CC committed errors on successive bunts by Jaila Manga and Nina Spagnolo. Justine Damico's sacrifice fly plated Landowski for the tying run.
Shortstop Taylor Swatsworth appeared to erase Manga at home following a ground ball, but James was called for obstructing the plate, and Manga was awarded home. Stock argued the call, but to no avail.
"I really didn't feel there was obstruction," Stock said, "but that guy is a really professional umpire. He didn't create the problem. He didn't walk the leadoff hitter and he didn't misplay two bunts."
Kaitlyn Sweeney chased Spagnolo with another sacrifice fly. Courtesy runner Kelly Mazzei stole home when James made a play on courtesy runner Melissa Mazzei. So, that's two sacrifice bunts, two sacrifice flys, a double steal and an obstruction in one inning.
"The short game is something I felt we had to put on to this team," Burrell coach Mike Spagnolo said, "because we were hitting a lot right at them. I felt if we had to make them execute and see where they were defensively."
The Bucs scored one more run in the seventh on another error. A four-run cushion was more than enough for Burrell pitcher Casey Moses, who gave up RBI singles to Swatsworth in the first and Aimee Espe in the third before retiring the final 13 batters. Moses struck out nine, walked one and pitched a four-hitter.
"I'm proud of these kids," Stock said. "I knew we'd have a good season. I really realistically didn't think we'd make the final eight, so they carried us as far as their ability, and they never quit in this game.
"They were a special team for me, not just because they were my last team, but they were the most wonderful group of kids to work with."
Stock has a house in Florida, and it's been tough to come back to the cold weather in the spring. He and his wife, Beverly, could be getting some visitors in the future.
"I hope he invites me down to Florida," James said laughing. "Hey, anytime."

This Thanksgiving, Dallas ISD's Mike Miles says he's thankful for DISD employees, tells them to 'gather courage anew to stay the course'
Dallas ISD Superintendent Mike Miles sent words of encouragement to the district's employees yesterday, telling them that he's thankful this Thanksgiving for their commitment to helping children. He asks them to spend time this week reflecting "on your progress and the progress of your school or department."
As we approach this Thanksgiving holiday, I want all of you to know how thankful I am to have the opportunity to serve as the Superintendent of Schools in Dallas. I am thankful to be able to work with people who demonstrate daily a commitment to children and a commitment to excellence. Because of you, countless children have hope of reaching their potential and fulfilling their dreams. Thank you.
We have come a long way in such a short time. Sometimes, when one is far from the starting point and, at the same time, seemingly far from the final destination, he has only the changing position of the stars to convince him that he has indeed journeyed far and made significant progress. Even the most courageous explorer needs proof of some progress in order to stay the course.
During this holiday, I hope you take some time to reflect on your progress and the progress of your school or department. I hope you give thanks for the hard work and courage of your colleagues. And then, perhaps when all around you are asleep or you are otherwise alone, recite some words of self-encouragement and gather courage anew to stay the course.
Mike Miles

The new superintendent of the Amarillo Independent School District will settle into his new office July 1. However, Rod Schroder won't be new to the school district or to the board of trustees, which on Tuesday approved his appointment to succeed retiring Superintendent Bob Moore.
A lightning-quick decision came to fruition with the board's unanimous decision to hire Schroder. It was the timely and the appropriate thing to do.
Moore announced his retirement a month ago and the board - that very week - announced that Schroder was the lone candidate for the superintendent's job.
Schroder and the board deserve congratulations today.
Schroder, who has been with the school district for 27 years - as a teacher, coach, assistant athletics director and, most recently, as an assistant superintendent - also deserves kudos for following Moore's excellent example of political judgment by agreeing to a contract that does not include a car allowance.
Recall that Moore took office after some controversy involving his predecessor John Wilson's handsome salary and $900 monthly car allowance. Moore agreed to work for less salary, and he declined the car allowance stipend.
Schroder will work for $134,000 per year, which school officials say is about 15 percent less than the average for superintendents of comparably sized districts.
Continuity is important in a school system that works as well as the Amarillo Independent School District. Schroder's appointment ensures it.
We wish him well as he takes on his important new challenge.

1862-1872 Lincoln/Johnson/Grant Signed Presidential Pardons in Framed Display
Starting Bid - $2,000.00, Sold For - $6,380.00
Representing one of the most important powers granted to a President, each of the three documents presented in this extraordinary display is an official Presidential pardon signed, respectively, by Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant. Each of the three one-page documents are identical with regard to their preprinted wording that authorizes the Secretary of State to grant a pardon to the individual listed. The collection is comprised of the following: Abraham Lincoln: pardon dated September 10, 1862 - signed "Abraham Lincoln" in black ink (grading "7"). Very Good condition with both horizontal and vertical fold lines as well as professional restoration (not affecting the signature) to a few minor tears. Andrew Johnson: pardon dated March 21, 1868 - signed "Andrew Johnson" in black ink (slight smudge upon the first "o," otherwise "9"). Excellent appearance overall with two horizontal fold lines, a few light creases and a tiny edge tear. Ulysses S. Grant: pardon dated May 8, 1872 - signed "U.S. Grant" in black ink (grading "5-6"). Excellent to Mint condition with two horizontal fold lines. Both the Johnson and Grant pardons measure 8.5 x 11 inches while the Lincoln document is slightly smaller, measuring 7.75 x 9.75 inches. This impressive trio of presidential documents is magnificently presented in an extraordinary manner. All three pardons are presented together within a large and majestic wood-framed display measuring an impressive 40 x 39 inches. Within this elaborate setting, each document has been mounted above an oval photo of the respective President, below which is a detailed biographical plaque listing the former offices held by each man. This is a truly exceptional, museum-quality Presidential display piece representing three consecutive administrations. LOA from Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Please note: Due to the size and weight of this piece, and depending on where it is sent, shipping fees for this item could be substantial. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000+. SOLD FOR $6,380.00

HARRISBURG Most pet owners would be aghast at the idea of a dog or cat on the dinner plate and not sitting happily under the table waiting for scraps.
But there have been more than a few cases in Pennsylvania in which someone was found breeding or selling dogs for their meat - or even cooking a dog themselves.
And there was nothing authorities could do about it. It's legal.
A bill moving through the legislature would change that.
While the focus in the General Assembly just before the Thanksgiving break was on transportation funding, a bill quietly and unanimously passed the House to ban killing dogs or cats for their meat.

Echoes of Usby Kat Zhang
In the final installment in the Hybrid Chronicles--bound to captivate fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Oliver, and Scott Westerfeld--Addie and Eva must come to terms with sharing a body as they fight for lasting change and hybrid freedom.Addie and Eva barely survived the explosion at the Powatt institution, but they refuse to sit still as the nation ripples with rebellion. When an ambitious reporter offers Addie and Eva the chance to go undercover and film the wretched conditions of a hybrid institution, the girls jump at the chance to once again take part in the fight for hybrid freedom. As Eva and Addie walk into danger, they cling to each other and the hope of a better future. But the price they might pay is higher than they ever could have imagined.
Once We Wereby Kat Zhang
In this riveting sequel to Whats Left of Me, Eva and Addie struggle to share their body as they clash over romance and join the fight for hybrid freedom. With a powerful voice, an intense sibling relationship, and a sweet romance against the odds, this second novel in the Hybrid Chronicles is perfect for fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Oliver, and Scott Westerfeld. Addie and Eva escaped imprisonment at a horrific psychiatric hospital. Now they should be safe, living among an underground hybrid movement. But safety is starting to feel constricting. Faced with the possibility of being in hiding forever, the girls are eager to help bring about change--now. The answer seems to lie within a splinter group willing to go to extremes for hybrid freedom, but as Addie and Eva fall ever deeper into their plans, what they thought was the solution to their problems just might be the thing that destroys everything--including their bond to each other.
What's Left of Meby Kat Zhang
I should not exist. But I do. Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else-two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't. . . . For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she's still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . . for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

In Israel, a resurgence in the number of Jews who believe in Jesus is getting a lot of attention. Many leaders say it's the strongest growth since the time of Jesus and that the Messianic movement could be on the brink of a great revival.
"This is the first time where we've seen Israeli society in general being so open to consider who Yeshua is," said Messianic leader Asher Intrater. "This is a real miracle, and there's beginning to be grace and favor with us in the land." Click play to hear Gordon Robertson's comments following CBN News Report Wendy Griffith's report.
Although Jesus and the early disciples were Jewish, for nearly 2,000 years the gospel has been viewed as a religion mainly for Gentiles. Even the name Jesus or Yeshua has been a forbidden word among many Jews. But in the last few years, Messianic leaders in Israel say something important is happening.
"I believe with all my heart, after we have come back to the land, we are seeing the Lord, the Holy Spirit, is removing the veil from the eyes of the Jews and more and more Jews are realizing," Tel Aviv pastor Avi Mizrachi said.
Although nobody knows for sure how many Messianic Jews live in Israel, it's believed there are about 120 congregations now and 10,000-15,000 Jewish believers in Jesus.
That may not sound like many given Israel's nearly six million Jews, but it's a far cry from 10 years ago when there were only about 3,500 Jewish believers and 80 congregations.
A good example is Shemen Sasson in Jerusalem, where attendance has nearly tripled over the past four years. Today, close to 300 people attend the meetings, most of them Jewish or people married to Jews. And salvations are increasing.
Meet the Ronens. Daniel, Ayelet and their five children are Israeli believers. Ayelet is an Israeli Jew and Daniel is a Finnish Gentile. But his family has been here since before Israel became a nation. They believe Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
"When Jesus came, when Yeshua came, he came to talk to our people," Ayelet Ronen said. "He walked on our land, He spoke our language, He spoke in our synagogues. Really, He came for us!
Yad-Hashmona is a beautiful little village about 10 miles outside Jerusalem, and the only one home to just Messianic Jewish believers like the Ronens.
For this family, being Israeli and believing in Jesus is a natural fit. They keep the Jewish feasts, circumcise their sons, keep the Sabbath and serve in the army. And even though they live in a Messianic village, they don't feel secluded from the rest of Israeli society.
"Our kids go with everybody else to school... I go to work outside...Our principle is to go out and be part of society," Daniel Ronen explained.
Their children sometimes face challenges but have used those occasions to witness.
"My friends started to know I'm a believer and they ask me if I'm a believer. I tell them I'm a believer in Yeshua and it's really good to believe in Him and that maybe you can one day believe in him, too," third grader Adan said.
The Ronens are sometimes accused of being missionaries, a very bad word in Israel. But they insist they are not.
"My point is to share my faith with anyone who wants to hear me and I will gladly share the Good News of my faith," Ayelet said. "I never speak of y'ou should do, and you should change."'
In addition to Israeli-born believers, many are from other countries. American Jews Eddie and Jackie Santoro became believers during the1970s Jesus Movement.
They made aliyah to Israel 11 years ago, learned Hebrew, and now lead a growing congregation in Jerusalem.
"Our current congregation, we started almost two years ago with about 20 people. Today we have over 100," Eddie Santoro explained. "We see salvations here and there, but we feel like there's something yet to come. It's definitely growing."
But being a Jewish believer in Israel isn't easy.
"I think probably the greatest challenge is that you always feel that the rest of society isn't accepting you. And so when you meet somebody and you want to talk to them and you want to tell them who you are, there's always that challenge of, 'should I say something,";Jackie Santoro said.
For the first time, the secular media are saying something, even mentioning Messianic Jews in a more favorable light. A recent wave of persecution, including the bombing of a young Jewish believer, have put Messianic Jews on the front page.
"At least we see that believers are being asked to explain who they are, what they believe in, why they are here...how they can be Israeli and believe in Jesus and be given an opportunity to tell their story and share their testimony," Knut Hoyland of the Caspari Center said.
What does this movement mean for the Body of Christ? "It really is ultimately a battle for the return of the Lord - because Jesus will not return until the Jewish people say Baruch h'abba B'shem Adonai - Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord," said worship leader Karen Davis. "One of our other banner statements is from Romans 11, that all Israel will be saved. So we are focused, not just on growth in the body here and revival - but as I said, ultimately, bringing Yeshua back and His Kingdom being established on the Earth," Asher said. Ayelet said, "If it wasn't for Yeshua, we would be lost - just like the lost sheep of Israel we would be. It's because of Him there is that completion in our life and hope for the future."
"If it wasn't for Yeshua, we would be lost," Ayelet said.

Personal Description:
This tribute is dedicated to Susan Berger, a pure and beautiful soul who learned so much about her capacity to love, and gained strength and confidence to be who she really was in her 3-1/2 year battle against ovarian cancer. As a nanny, a massage therapist, a teacher and most of all a friend, she touched the hearts and changed the lives of many.
Personal Description:
Susan Berger passed away on September 19th, 2009, surrounded by her family who loves her always — her sisters Kathy, Lory, Bobbi, nephew Matt and brother-in-law Stan (with notes from nieces Mia and Cassia). George is in her heart and always will be.
