Hi All
I posted a week or two back about some issues I had in my legs, turns out I think it was tight hamstrings having seen the physio and her telling me there was nothing fundamentally wrong.
Over the past week I've got back to training, and Sunday I did a "long" run of 10miles... on Monday I felt slightly tight in my leg, Tuesday was fine so I did a relaxed 5 miles, and today they are feeling a bit tight/stiff - so I had better not run to preserve myself (my plan had me down for intervals or another short run)
It seems that for some reason now I cant recover quickly from my long run, as this tightness in my hamstrings seems to re-occur.... I am not sure how I handle this in the run up to my London Marathon:
a) Revert to a "day on, day off" routine - which seems a bit basic
b) subsitute 2nd day running for xtraining or other gym activities to keep my activity up on a daily basis
c) something else.....
my priority is to keep doing my long run on the sunday with a view that other sessions are dismissable.... I am able to run at my target pace (8min/mile) relatively comfortably so I wonder what I am getting from extra midweek sessions....
However my training programme has reduced from 5 runs per week (2 short, 1 interval, 1 long and 1 fast) to now looking like 3 runs per week if i do a long run on a sunday, or 4 per week if i do a <8 mile long run...
Can you help me re-plan how i should structure my training, or other coping strategies for my tight hamstrings that have prevented me running tonight again.
Hi Moraghan
I've just been reading your excellent advice to Laura Harris's post earlier and so was hoping you'd see mine and reply
Traditionally I was a cursory stretcher - token jesture before and after, but having seen hte physio 2 weeks ago she has converted me..... I do it at least twice per day (stretching) and some days 4 times depending on when I am running in the day.... I've definately seen some improvement as a result of that, but still not ideal...
physio says I am "quite stiff" so trying to work on that whilst also prepare myself for the VLM - got another appt with her on Friday AM but maybe this is a constraint I need to work around and do something about my program? - I'm not sure!?
whats the relevence of a towel on your foot or back!?
all ive been given is the "lean forward and try to touch your toes" approach - i cant touch my toes, and i do 10 of those twice per day on each leg (plus stretches for calfs and quads)
I'm a fan of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching. None of the other stretching techniques work for me such as active isolated stretching.
Here's a link with basic information:
I wouldn't stretch cold muscles so make sure you have a good warm-up. If your physio gave you lean forward and touch your toes as stretching advice you probably need a new physio!
You may also have to give the hamstring some help through self massage with your hands, a foam roller or ideally one of these (this has helped me):
Finally, tight hamstrings can also be a result of other muscles being tight, so unfortunately you have to stretch more than just hamstrings. I'm afraid I have no idea how to avoid the tedium of stretching!
I am always a bit confused by "stretching cold muscles" - I stretch when i get up and before i go to bed routinely.... so what sort of warm up can one do in the home in those circumstances?
To be fair to my physio, when i went to see her my symptoms were very vague - general knee/leg/hamstring problem hence the stretching and some orthoptic foot insoles to help with my pronation - when i go to her on Friday I can be more precise about my ailment...
Any suggestions how to manage my training around this current limitation? should I just try to flex my programme to run when I feel comfortable? or revise my programme to do longer shorter runs less frequently to acheive my marathon objective?
Mmm, warm-up in the home..... I run twice a day and go to the gym so plenty of opportunities to stretch. At home you could do skipping or up in the air bicycling perhaps - God they are lame suggestions. Or go for a brisk walk beforehand.
Regarding the training, random thoughts - your post misses out a bit of detail, such as:
- did your training change leading to tight hamstrings
- how do they feel after intervals
- what happens when you run with tight hamstrings
- what have you tried, 2 a days, changing workouts etc.
If I were you I'd try and run the day after even if your hamstrings are tight. Sometimes they will loosen during the run and a run will just be what you need. Try it as an experiment and do loops near your home so you can bail if necessary.
If that doesn't work and your hamstrings are tight the day after and preventing you from running I would cross train instead. If the tightness only lasts for a day or so no matter what the previous day's distance, then personally I'd bump up the mileage of my runs every other day in attempt to partially compensate for the reduced frequency.
Have you tried running twice a day to reduce the overall mileage done in one run to alleviate the symptoms? This certainly isn't ideal but if it increases the amount of time you are able to spend running it's better than the alternative.
How did your hamstrings react to the interval training? I'd have thought that would make it worse. I'd lay off those and only do upper aerobic zone running for your quality training.
How do you do your runs? Do you start off slowly and gradually build? That would be ideal to ease your legs into it.
As you know adjusting your training is only avoiding the problem. Do it for a short while but be aggressive with all the other modalities at your disposal.
It may be worth a week of getting back to basics. Plan a week of running 6 times, with no quality and no run longer than 5 miles. If you get through that, slowly add in the other elements of your running so you can really isolate the session which is the cause if indeed that is the problem.
If you are running easy and long runs at your target pace this is far from ideal. Meaning your target is a bit too soft or you are running them too hard. If it's the latter that may give you the answer you are looking for.

How old do kittens have to be, to be adopted?
My kittens are 5 weeks old and have started eating kitten food. My mom is really pushing to give them away next week, but I'm worried that that might be too early. What age should we put the kittens up for adoption?

Kittens and puppies can be put up for adoption at 6 weeks. Make sure they have all vaccinations and are in good health.

Ideally it would be 12 weeks - especially if they are going into a home with no other cats. Kittens develop very important social skills that affect their behavior later in life.
Sasha answered on 7/22/10. Helpful? / 0
5-6 weeks is too young to "give them away", which you should NOT do. Kittens given away for free run the risk of being used at bait for fighting dogs and sold into research, and worse. You absolutely need to make sure that whoever gets a kitten is going to give it a good home. Don't just pass them out, please!!! Ask at LEAST $15.00 for each kitten. At the age of 5-6 weeks,kittens are still learning their social skills and potty skills from mama cat. They are also still accustoming themselves to eating regular food. I'd wait a few more weeks and tell your mom to cool her jets. You also need to get mama cat spayed so you don't have to deal with this again. Check out low-cost spay/neuter clinics in your area. Rescue and humane shelters usually have a list.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 7/22/10. Helpful? / 1
6 weeks is too young to be adopted. 8 weeks is the absolute minimum. 12 weeks is ideal. Kittens learn a lot of "social skills" at that age from their mother and litter-mates such as not to bite, scratch, and play too rough. Most shelters will not let a kitten be adopted till at least 8 weeks old. Good, reputable breeders will not sell a kitten younger than 12 weeks. Do NOT adopt these kittens out till they are at least 8 weeks old. Later would be even better. Also do NOT give these kittens away. Ask for a small adoption fee, even $10. Free cats and kittens can meet horrific ends in research labs and as dog-fighting bait. I would recommend asking for a vet reference and a personal reference. Don't give them away to just anyone.

The kittens are too young to be given away at age 6 weeks. What is the bug hurry? Ask your mother if she would like it if she nursed a baby and then someone took it away? You need to assure your mother that you will take very good care of the kittens and clean up after them, etc. Maybe then she will allow you to keep them until they are older. I would suggest older than 8 weeks (possibly 12 weeks). By the way, did anyone get the mother spayed so she won't get pregnant again? Otherwise, you are going to have the same problem in a few months. The kittens need their mother right now and nursing from her is the best nourishment these kittens will get besides any kitten food they may be eating at this time. Tell mom you need to keep the kittens longer and hold up your end of the bargain as well. Best of luck.

Six weeks is WAY too young! Ideally kittens should be kept with the mother and littermates until 12-14 weeks old.

Senegalese pop sensation Youssou N'Dour
New York, NY —From Fulton Avenue in Brooklyn to 125th street uptown posters announcing the coming of The Great African Ball have been fluttering along street poles for several weeks now. And the mastermind behind this all-night musical dance party is none other than the great Senegalese pop sensation Youssou N'Dour.
N'Dour has pioneered his own unique African sound since the early 80s , partnering with everyone from Paul Simon to Peter Gabriel here in the States. Blending his traditional Senegalese roots with a western sensibility has made him a star on both sides of the Atlantic.
He dropped by our studios recently to talk to Soundcheck host John Schaefer about the Ball, to play some excerpts from his new album, called Egypt, and to give his perspective on some of the important social and political issues of the day.

Japanify: Take-It-Easy Takikomi
If there's one thing 6 days in paradise (Kauai) reminded me about life, it's that cooking rice on the stove top (and not in a rice cooker) is so easy! I used to do it all the time when I worked as a server at a restaurant called Konohana in Tokyo. That was the only thing that they would let me do in the realm of cooking — the rice for the lunch special. That was now over four years ago!
Fast forward to last week, when I was maxing and relaxing in Kauai with a Mai Tai in hand.
This was my first time in Hawaii, and I am officially smitten. I am the generic "adult" whom I feared I would become as a teenager — vacationing in Hawaii, reading John Irving books by the beach and sleeping by 10pm. BORING!!!
We stayed in a condo during our time in Kauai. There was no rice cooker, so we had to cook our rice on the stove top. It's much faster than a rice cooker, but doesn't yield rice that has the same mochirikan (plump texture) that you would find in rice that has been cooked in a rice cooker. That's not to say that the rice that's cooked on the stovetop can't be totally satisfying.
So, today, back at home in Berkeley, I am inspired by our escapades with stovetop rice in Kauai, and decided to make a ika-shiitake takinomi gohan. That translates to squid-shiitake steamed rice. But instead of cooking the rice in a regular pot, I'm going to use my clay nabe pot to achieve a little bit of okoge (crispy rice).
2.5 cups of rice
2.5 cups of dashi
8-10 shiitake mushrooms, cut in thin slices
1 surume ika, cleaned
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin or sake
1. Wash rice and raise it in a colander for at least 20 minutes.
2. Clean the squid. Cut the body into slices of O's. Cut the legs into small pieces.
3. Combine the dashi, soy sauce and mirin in a bowl or Pyrex pitcher.
4. Put the rice in the nabe, then the dashi mixture, then lay the squid and shiitake on top of it.
Adding the dashi mixture…
Pile on the squid…
Top with a mound of shiitake.
5. Close the lid of the nabe, turn on the heat to high and bring to boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn down the heat to the lowest setting. Resist the urge to open the lid before the rice is ready. Take it easy! Your patience will be rewarded. Depending on your stovetop, the rice will be ready in 20-30min from the moment you turn down the heat from boiling.
Once the 20 minutes are up, open the lid and check to see if it's done, if the rice cores are still a little firm, continue simmering for another 5 minutes.
Once the rice is done, keep the lid on the pot and turn the heat on high for 1 minute. This will create a layer of okoge (crispy, toasted rice) at the bottom of the pot. You should soon be hit with a slight toasty scent. Be careful not to keep the stove on for more than 2-3 minutes.
6. Mix well so that the squid, shiitake and rice co-mingle.
This is the first dish of the season that I am cooking something in my nabe, mainly because the past few months have been a crazy, busy blur. I am looking forward to a quieter couple months ahead, spending many more nights with my nabe. This squid, shiitake rice is the perfect dish to break in my nabe this winter.
Notice the achievement in okoge (crispy rice) on the top left side of my bowl.
In addition to reminding me about how easy it is to cook rice on the stove top, Hawaii also taught me that I should accept my adult self and take it slow.
Akemashite omedetougozaimasu!

Just picked up a (new to me) 05 STi and I couldn't be happier. I was very sad to see my 04 Wrx leave but sometimes that's how it goes I suppose. Took me over five months of looking but I think I found one of the less modified 05 STis out there but it almost seems like Invidia exhausts come standard after so many years..lol. Other than that it appears to be lowered with black springs that I have yet to be able to identify. Looking forward to finding some new suspension, a down pipe for the cat back and some tint. Already started her off with a set of RE11s and a Cobb ap.
Just wanted to thank all the very informative members on this site and all the great stickied FAQs. Wish everyone luck with the current builds and projects as they are entertaining reads and always informative.

It's simple. If you're applying to law school, then you'll be required to register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). The CAS is managed by the same organization that administers the LSAT, the Law School Admission Council.
The CAS is actually designed to make your life easier. It combines your transcripts, test scores, and evaluations into a single report that it sends to law schools when you apply. Plus, CAS adjusts your grades to a universal scale so that law schools can evaluate their applicants on the same basis.
Your online CAS file will contain:
The CAS recommends registering six weeks before you apply to law schools, but we think it can't hurt to leave yourself a little more time than that. Aim to register in July by logging into the Law School Admission Council's website or by filling out a paper form, which you can request online. Your subscription lasts for five years.
Next, contact your undergrad school in August to request that they send your transcript to the CAS. If you'd like to send letters of rec through CAS, too, (it's an optional service), then download or send a hard copy of the Letter of Recommendation form to your recommenders. CAS will collect up to three letters. Your LSAT scores will automatically become a part of your report after you take them (you need at least one score on file before the CAS can start sending your reports). When you submit your application to a law school, the school will request your report from the CAS.
The fee to register for the CAS includes a report to one school. You'll also need to pay for each additional report you send. Look into LSAC's fee waiver program if you absolutely cannot cover the costs of taking the LSAT and CAS reports. The LSAC website has all the details about registering, paying for, and sending reports. Check the site often to make sure you're staying on track.
You're done! Now you can sit back and (ha!) relax.

Teachers Still Suing Christian Schools over Sex Standards (Despite Hosanna-Tabor)
Update (June 4): A jury in Cincinnati, Ohio, has ruled that the local Catholic archdiocese unjustly discriminated against a teacher who was fired after becoming pregnant via artificial insemination. According to the Associated Press, the teacher, Christa Dias, argued that "she was fired simply because she was pregnant and unmarried. (However) the archdiocese's attorney said Dias was fired because artificial insemination violated church doctrine and a contract requiring her to follow Catholic teachings."
But the Cinncinnati Archdiocese may appeal the ruling, which legal experts say "could have a much wider legal impact" if the ministerial exception is raised in court.
In a similar case in Indiana, a court recently ruled that some records can remain confidential of a teacher allegedly fired over in-vitro fertilization. CT previously reported on the Ohio case and examined why fired teachers are suing Christian schools.
[Original blog, posted March 4, 2013]
Gloria Allred's Latest Target? Christian College that Fired Pregnant Employee
Even after Hosana-Tabor, fired employees are continuing to sue.
High-profile lawyer Gloria Allred has filed a lawsuit against San Diego Christian College alleging it fired a then-unmarried employee, Teri James, for having premarital sex with her fiance and getting pregnant. James, who is now married and expecting her child in June, alleges she was wrongfully terminated; the college says James violated its moral code, which she had agreed in writing to uphold.
CT recently reported on the wave of school tussles over sex standards, including Dias v. Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the case of a lesbian who was fired after undergoing artificial insemination. CT found that experts predict such lawsuits will continue to grow–but also that Christian schools are likely to continue their winning streak.
Courthouse News Service reports that the Cincinnati case will head to a jury. The trial is slated to begin March 19.

Construction virtual prototyping : a survey of use
Huang, Ting, Li, Heng, Guo, Hongling, Chan, Neo, Kong, Stephen, & Skitmore, Martin (2009) Construction virtual prototyping : a survey of use. Construction Innovation : Information, Process, Management, 9(4), pp. 434-448.
|Accepted Version (PDF 205kB)
Purpose –The introduction of Building Information Model tools over the last 20 years is resulting in radical changes in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry. One of these changes concerns the use of Virtual Prototyping - an advanced technology integrating BIM with realistic graphical simulations. Construction Virtual Prototyping (CVP) has now been developed and implemented on ten real construction projects in Hong Kong in the past three years. This paper reports on a survey aimed at establishing the effects of adopting this new technology and obtaining recommendations for future development.
Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire survey was conducted in 2007 of 28 key participants involved in four major Hong Kong construction projects – these projects being chosen because the CVP approach was used in more than one stage in each project. In addition, several interviews were conducted with the project manager, planning manager and project engineer of an individual project.
Findings –All the respondents and interviewees gave a positive response to the CVP approach, with the most useful software functions considered to be those relating to visualisation and communication. The CVP approach was thought to improve the collaboration efficiency of the main contractor and sub-contractors by approximately 30 percent, and with a concomitant 30 to 50 percent reduction in meeting time. The most important benefits of CPV in the construction planning stage are the improved accuracy of process planning and shorter planning times, while improved fieldwork instruction and reducing rework occur in the construction implementation stage. Although project teams are hesitant to attribute the use of CVP directly to any specific time savings, it was also acknowledged that the workload of project planners is decreased. Suggestions for further development of the approach include incorporation of automatic scheduling and advanced assembly study.
Originality/value –Whilst the research, development and implementation of CVP is relatively new in the construction industry, it is clear from the applications and feedback to date that the approach provides considerable added value to the organisation and management of construction projects.

Painting Picasso
Herbert Siguenza has worked for 26 years with the theater group Culture Clash in Los Angeles — we saw the company's rich and joyous piece about immigrants in American Night at the Denver Center a year ago. His years of experience and the passion he feels for his own work are evident in his one-man play A Weekend With Pablo Picassoi>, which debuts today at the Ricketson Theatre.
In this piece, we get to watch as the master completes a commission for six paintings and three vases in the course of three days in his South of France studio, chatting, joking and reminiscing with audience members as though they were his students. He talks about his work, his women (the play alludes to his famed misogyny but doesn't dwell on it), dreams, Guernica and his distress over the recent Soviet invasion of Hungary. As Siguenza speaks Picasso's words — taken from the painter's interviews and writings and the reminiscences of others — he paints. On stage. In front of us. And with a fair amount of skill. There are also paintings that appear in stages through the magic of projection.
Siguenza has said that his intention in making this piece of theater was to explore these specific questions: How does he stay creative? How do you keep that hunger, that fire in your belly?
The show starts tonight at 7:30 p.m. and continues at various times through April 28 at the Ricketson Theatre inside the Denver Performing Arts Complex; ticket prices vary. For more information, go to www.denvercenter.org.
Fridays-Sundays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 1:30 p.m.; Tuesdays-Thursdays, 6:30 p.m. Starts: March 22. Continues through April 28, 2013

With temperatures rising well above normal through Wednesday, snowmelt will accelerate across the eastern Sierra. The increase in snowmelt will cause daily rises in many small streams from Mono County north through the northern Sierra. Snowmelt flow typically peaks in smaller streams late in the evening or overnight. Farther downstream flows will continue to increase through next week as the smaller streams add water to the main rivers. Small streams, and Walker, Carson, and Truckee River flooding summary: * On the WEST WALKER RIVER, minor flooding is expected from the Walker River Canyon into Antelope Valley and high flows through Smith Valley and downstream through Wilson Canyon. There is minor flooding occurring just below Wilson Canyon. * On the EAST WALKER RIVER, minor flooding is ongoing and expected to continue from just above Strosnider Ditch to the confluence with the West Walker. * The WALKER RIVER THROUGH MASON VALLEY AND YERINGTON is expected to crest just below moderate flood stage. Minor flood stage will be reached Wednesday morning and flow will peak out late Friday. * No flooding is expected below Weber Reservoir at this time. * SMALL STREAMS draining the eastern Sierra could see flows in excess of 2 to 3 times their current flows causing flooding near the streams from southern Mono County north through the Tahoe Basin and into parts of Sierra and Plumas Counties. * The upper parts of the CARSON RIVER...INCLUDING THE SOUTHWEST CARSON VALLEY...are likely to experience minor flooding of farm and ranch lands. * The TRUCKEE RIVER will likely see minor flooding below Lake Tahoe to Truckee along Highway 89 and nearby areas. This is likely to be confined to areas immediately adjacent to the river with impacts confined to campgrounds and bike trails. $$ http://weather.gov/reno

|Bryan Stork again only absentee from Patriots practice Thursday
|01.15.15 at 1:26 pm ET
FOXBORO — With steam rising from the field turf of Gillette Stadium, the Patriots practiced in the drizzle Thursday in sweats and shells. And for a second straight day, the only absentee was starting center Bryan Stork.
The rookie center left Saturday's game with a knee injury and was not spotted at practice as the Patriots continue to work in advance of Sunday's AFC championship game against the Colts at Gillette Stadium.
"I think Bryan has done a good job for us," said coach Bill Belichick on Tuesday's conference call. "We finished the game without him last week and if he wasn't available then we'd be in a similar situation this week. Whether it would be the same [personnel] or different, I don't really want to get into that. He's obviously done a good job for us, he's grown along the way."
Brandon Browner, who left Saturday's game and didn't return, was against present at Thursday's practice. Browner was among four players limited at Wednesday's practice.

|Colts fans still hate the Patriots, New England 'public enemy number one'
|11.13.14 at 2:04 pm ET
If you thought a few years without Peyton Manning has changed the Colts' fan base thoughts of the Patriots, you were wrong. The Colts fans still have a strong dislike for the Patriots after they have won four straight games, including last year's playoff game over their former division-rival.
"I think people are looking at it and trying to make it into [Andrew] Luck vs. [Tom] Brady, but here guys, the hatred for the Patriots has never gone away," said Derek Schultz of WNDE on with Middays with MFB on Thursday. "I think in New England it is one of those things where it was more Brady vs. [Peyton] Manning than it was Pats vs. Colts, here it has always been not only anti-Brady, but anti-Patriots. You can't go around this town and say the word Patriots without people scoundering and hissing at you. They are 10 times what the Knicks were 20 years ago with Reggie Miller vs. Knicks heyday and that is how big the rivalry is here. This still here locally is the biggest game of the year since this has turned into an annual matchup, and since the Colts don't have a relevant division rival in the AFC South, this is public enemy number one."
Following seeing those remarks about Colts fans, who do Patriots fans hate the most? Is it the division-rival Jets? The Broncos for their recent dominance? Do fans still have something against the Colts, or do fans still think back to the two Super Bowl losses?
What team do Patriots fans hate the most?
- Jets (57%, 522 Votes)
- Giants (20%, 184 Votes)
- Broncos (17%, 159 Votes)
- Other (5%, 43 Votes)
- Colts (2%, 14 Votes)
Total Voters: 922
|Setting the scene: Patriots-Colts from Gillette Stadium
|11.18.12 at 12:55 pm ET
FOXBORO — It will be seasonably chilly when the Patriots and Colts kick off at 4:25 p.m. at Gillette Stadium as the forecast calls for clear skies and temperatures in the low 40s, with a brisk breeze of 10 mph coming out of the northeast.
Temperatures are expected to dip into the mid-to-upper 30s by the end of the game at 7:30.
There will be plenty of matchups to watch today, beginning with the expected debut of left cornerback Aqib Talib, who practiced all week with the team after serving the fourth game of his four-game suspension for admitted Adderall use in violation of the NFL's performance enhancing drug policy.
Talib was acquired from Tampa Bay on Nov. 2 along with a seventh round pick in 2013 for New England's fourth-round pick next April.
Talib is a welcome addition to a secondary and defense that allowed 481 total yards and a Patriots record 35 first downs allowed in a narrow 37-31 win over the Bills last Sunday at Gillette.
How the Patriots and Bill Belichick handle rookie quarterback Andrew Luck is another matchup worth watching. Luck has been a much better and more efficient quarterback at his home of Lucas Oil Stadium than on the road. At home, Luck has compiled a 4-1 record, with eight touchdowns, two interceptions and a QB rating of 88.7. On the road, he is 2-2 with wins over Tennessee and Jacksonville but has thrown only two touchdowns and has been intercepted twice.
The Patriots are 6-3 for the seventh straight season, matching the all-time record of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even more remarkable, the Patriots are a combined 17-0 in the second-half of the regular season, dating back to their last loss, a 34-27 loss to the Texans, the same game that Wes Welker suffered a torn ACL.
The Patriots enter the game ranked No. 1 in the NFL in two key categories: total points averaged (33.1) and total yards averaged per game (430.3). While the Colts are ranked fifth at 387.3 yards per game, they have not converted those yards into points, as they averaging just 20.7 points a game.
This is the 10th straight year the Patriots and Colts have met in the regular season. The Patriots are 5-4 in the previous nine, with all four of the losses coming at the hands of Peyton Manning. This is the third straight season the Patriots have hosted the Colts in Foxboro.
|Jeff Saturday: Man-hugs with Robert Kraft are done, just handshakes and respect now
|11.30.11 at 8:30 pm ET
FOXBORO — It was one of the most indelible moments of the NFL lockout.
Colts veteran center Jeff Saturday, one of the most vocal leaders of the NFL Players Association, giving a bear hug to Patriots owner Robert Kraft on July 25, the day owners and players finally agreed to a new 10-year bargaining agreement.
But there is one thing Saturday made clear in a conference call with New England reporters on Wednesday.
The hug was sympathy for Kraft's very ill wife – Myra Kraft, who passed away from cancer just five days earlier. She had given her blessings to the Patriots owner to help bridge the gap between the owners and the players in her final days.
"The hug… that was more just for his wife and that issue," Saturday said. "We knew as we got close to getting the thing done and as it began to close, we knew how important this was. I think from Jerry Richardson, who was the leader of the ownership group to Jerry Jones and Mr. Kraft and all the guys, the Clark Hunts and John Maras who were there, all those men knew how significant that this deal was.
"A 10-year deal of labor peace, knowing that we both had to compromise but both felt like we could work with this deal and be beneficial for all of our players and most importantly, we're going to keep our players healthier for longer so that your stars can play longer. I felt really good about it; I know they did as well. As we left, I think we all realized that we had worked very hard to get something accomplished and we were proud of what we put forth. DeMaurice [DeMaurice Smith] and Roger [Roger Goodell], they summed it up at the end, we had a meeting before we all went down to address the press and both of those guys, just seeing how hard they worked and how diligent they both were in getting this deal done ' it was a lot of work but something you can be very proud of today."
Casual fans and those who followed the bitter four-month lockout closely wondered alike if this moment was sincere. Read the rest of this entry »

So you're a big NFL fan, huh? You ARE ready for some football, and you're willing to pay for it, for all of it, especially when Directv has significantly dropped the price for their NFL Season Ticket package. But when starting to look at some of the numbers, you may come to the conclusion that you're more than comfortable saving the $200 you would have spent. There are 256 regular season games to be broadcasted this season. Fans might be surprised to know that they have more access to games than they maybe would have thought they did.
A market will provide games of the local team each week, and when said team appears on national television, a replacement game is granted. There is also the two additional games on the opposite network, either CBS or Fox. That's three games on the two networks each Sunday afternoon. But a hardcore fan wants to see a lot of games, and is more than eager to plunk down a couple Benjamins to make that fantasy happen.
If one has the NFL Network as part of his basic cable or satellite package, he'll receive thirteen games this year as part of the expanded Thursday night lineup. NBC's schedule will provide an additional nineteen televised games, while ESPN will give out seventeen Monday Night Football matchups, including a double-header during the season's opening week. While closely looking at the 256 scheduled NFL games, it is shocking to realize that only 60 percent of those games would be those you could only get with Sunday Ticket.
If the consumer chooses not to purchase the package through Directv, he will still receive roughly 39 percent of the NFL games on the season. A typical non-bye week would include sixteen games, with at least six of those being contest you can get through your local cable or satellite provider. This is fatoring in the home market games, the two other Sunday afternoon network games, as well as those broadcast by NBC, ESPN, and the NFL Network.
To be clear, Directv made an incredibly smart business decision when it chose to drop the price of this package by over $130. Over the last several seasons, the likelihood that the satellite giant was pricing even the ardent of fans out of this product is pretty significant. That said, when roughly 100 of the 256 games come to your television without releasing extra money, it does give one pause when considering whether or not to buy this package.

Man, that is anonymous!!!!! :eek:
Not a chance of being identified shopping there. I'll bet they still have surveillance cameras...
Heh. It was a rant about stopping in a store that used to be the retail outlet for real beekeepers on a highway north of Durango. Now it's gentrified. I stopped there the other day to get some beeswax handcream. The two scouts with me were fascinated with the ob hive, and I was explaining bee stuff, including "clustering". The lady who had worked there for over a year said "Really? I always wondered how they lived through the winter".
It just annoyed me that she'd been looking at a hive for over a year and was so clueless. Not that the bees in the ob hive were clustered, but still....
The point I was going to make was that if you're selling products of the hive it would be nice if your clerks knew more than the average bear about bees. I wonder how much of the problems between beeks and suppliers is related to the person on one end of the transaction not knowing enough about what the person on the other end is really doing. It happens in every business, but I like to think of beekeepers and their suppliers as a special breed.
Hey coyote,
Your right knowledge is money retailers dont want to pay . Clerk ,in their opinion , only needs to know the product not how when or where.

Kid-friendly Breakie
We plan to get the weekend off to a good start by taking the little prince or princess to the Little King Café in Milford. There's a kid-friendly play pen (with grown up art), even changing tables in the loos, and, best of all, royally good feeds. We can't go past the waffles of various stripes (including junior-sized servings) and the mince-on-toast is way better than the version we cranked out in the student flat days. Roast veges with parmesan and sour cream give us a good start on our good intentions to eat healthy, too, this weekend. OK, so we do recommend stocking up on the ginger slice just in case we're peckish by morning tea.
• Details: Little King Cafe, Milford 132 Kitchener Rd, Milford 09 489 7278
Check out The Baby Show
A show that's made with time-poor parents (and parents-to-be) in mind, with everyone baby-related in one spot.
The parenting seminars are by helpful experts (we'll be lining up for the one on sleeping), there's groovy free entertainment for the littlies, giveaways and show-only specials. We're particularly impressed by the Baby Show App for iPhone and Android which gives you show maps, exhibitors profiles, special offers and links to websites.
And we'll be elbowing the small sorts out of the way to get out own play in the Lego/Duplo brick pit - how cool is that?
• Details: The Baby Show Auckland, Friday til Sunday 10am - 5pm ; ASB Showgrounds Auckland
Take the kids to market
We love Hobsonville Point for the Farmers Market - a real 'foodies' market with local farm produce, breads, meat, fish, cheese, eggs and, naturally coffee. Better still, it's indoors. When we want more of a feed, we can head to Catalina Cafe.
Then throw the kids out into the best art-meets-park in Auckland. WE love the giant climbing structures that look like fantail nests and oversized metal seedpods in this nature-based playground themed like a forest floor. The pathways around the equipment mimic tree-roots and delighted children rush around them, there are more paths for the cycling/scootering set.
• Details: Hobsonville Point Playground, Catalina Cafe Cnr Buckley Ave and Hastings Cres, Hobsonville Point; Farmers Market Saturday and Sunday 9am to 1pm. No. 5 Store, behind the hedgerow across from the Catalina Café.
Climbing the walls
The minute there's a break in the weather, we're heading the kids over to the Wetland Community Play Park. Built to prompt children's interest in the nearby wetlands and ponds, the real attraction is the climbable art - giant metal pukeko babies with their mother, over-sized stone eggs, metal stems that play sounds, tall towers with yellow binoculars poking out of walls. The puddle pavers that fill up with water on wet days were just made for this weekend. Older kids will love the skate park, winner of last year's Best Design awards - almost a sculpture in its own right.

Big family style dinner
What better place to celebrate kids and family and food than Ponsonby institution, Prego.
There's a reason this place is loved by everyone from tots to teens to grandparents, it's true Italian familia style. We love how the kids are kept happy with disposable kids' menus and colouring in, pizzas and pastas arrive quickly for the kids and the staff are just plain welcoming. And it's a noisy happy place, so nobody minds noisy happy kids - which makes us happy. Time to totter home for a quiet Sunday night, we think.
• Details: Prego, 226 Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby. Opening hours: 12-late - open every day. No bookings, but best times for kids and families 4.30pm-6.30pm before the dinner rush. Phone: (09) 376 3095.

As built-in obsolescence always seems to be the order of the day, it is unlikely that a greatest hits collection by any of the aforementioned teen dreams would stand much chance of making it to No 1 this Christmas. Yet, next week, Sony Music's Epic Records is releasing If You Were There ... The Best of Wham! in the hope that George Michael's currency can entice us to relive those rashly extravagant days of the mid-Eighties, when our radios rattled to the sub-Motown sound of "Wham Rap" (No 8, January 1983), "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" (No 1, May 1984), "Freedom" (No 1, October 1984) and the rest. Wham!'s controlled exuberance epitomised everything that is good about pop, and though they were in the charts for just four years, from "Young Guns (Go For It)" (No 3, October 1982) to "The Edge of Heaven" (No 1, June 1986), during that time they hardly made a duff record.
The late Seventies and early Eighties were not exactly giddy times in Britain, yet out of the recession came dozens of smart young pop groups willing to dance while London burned. None was smarter than Wham!. They were part of the biggest British-pop explosion since the mid-Sixties, as Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Culture Club, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet broke the American charts, paving the way for such unlikely glamour kids as the Thomspon Twins and the Eurythmics. Only Wham!'s music has lasted, and while the dulcet tones of Tony Hadley warbling "True" or Simon Le Bon puffing his way through the incomprehensible "Union of the Snake" conjure up images of funny hair-dos and over-elaborate designer clothing, when a Wham! record comes on the radio, we think only of a glorious, rose- tinted illusory past.
In the 11 years since George and his dancing partner Andrew Ridgeley broke up, Wham! have rarely been out of our orbit. Their songs are always on the radio, and George's "Careless Whisper" (No 1, August 1984) regularly tops the Capital Radio All Time Top 100. The duo have also had the perfect pop divorce: George having been granted ascension to the very top of the pop hierarchy, Andrew having faded from view like a GTi- driving Garbo. There have been few career hiccups for George, and no embarrassing comebacks from Andrew.
Hence this new compilation. If all goes according to plan - and it will - for Christmas 1998, Sony will release George's own greatest hits, including three new songs he's currently recording in London and Los Angeles. After this he will owe Sony nothing, allowing Virgin, his new recording company, to release the follow-up to Older in the year 2000.
I first saw Wham! in July 1983 at the launch of their debut LP Fantastic (such confidence!), in a small suite of offices just behind Fulham Broadway Tube station. While dozens of sneering music journalists and record-company bigwigs stood about, working at being brilliant, the two 19-year-old soul boys, dressed in Hawaiian shirts, cutaway jeans and deck shoes, jived together on the dance floor, jitterbugging along to their own version of the Miracles' "Love Machine". Rarely had I seen two men enjoying themselves so much. To be dancing to one of their own records! At their own party! In front of other people!
Suburban boys with West End aspirations - second-generation immigrants, Andrew comes from Italian/Egyptian stock, while George (real name Georgios Panayiotou) is Greek - they were high street through and through: their white T-shirts and socks came from Marks & Spencer, their blue jeans from Woodhouse. They hailed from Bushey in Hertfordshire, in the heart of the disco belt. For years they danced themselves stupid at the New Penny in Watford High Street, moving on to the Camden Palace as soon as it opened in the spring of 1982, immersing themselves in London's holier-than-thou nightlife. To west-London sybarites they looked oddly naive in their quasi-naff clothes and floppy fringes, yet anyone with eyes in their head and loafers on their feet could tell that they had a very spangly future ahead of them.
After they became famous they still went out, and it was not unusual to see Andrew on display at the Limelight or George down at the infamous Taboo nightclub. For about 18 months "Everything She Wants" (No 2, December 1984) was the hippest record to be seen dancing to, and George could often be seen doing just that, right in front of the DJ booth. It was a common sight, yet still disconcerting, and while you might have shared a space at the bar and adjacent spots on the dancefloor, there was George the next night, glistening with fame, on Top of the Pops. Once, in the Wag Club in Soho, I (drunkenly) confessed my love to him, such was my passion for his oeuvre. George, always cool as a cucumber, simply said "Thank you", before slinking off to dance to Phyllis Nelson's "Move Closer". Even at 3am in the bowels of some sweaty West End nightclub, he looked as though he'd just stepped off the plane from Ibiza: tandoori tan, summer whites, designer stubble (something the singer invented) and perfect Princess Diana hair. He was always serious about his hair: "Some days I made the covers of the tabloids. Some days Princess Di made the covers of the tabloids," he said. "Some days I think they just got us mixed up."
For a while we even shared a tailor, Wham! and me. From his shop in Kentish Town, an ex-boxer called Chris Ruocco would knock up the most delightful suits and stage costumes for the boys, and though it would be unusual to see George on the premises, you'd occasionally see Andrew trying on a new pair of trousers, his hot hatchback double-parked out front. I once went in for a fitting only to find Chris surrounded by 30 custom-built tartan suits, in readiness for the boys' upcoming tour of China. Needless to say, it was the Black Watch for me that summer.
George was less home-boy than homely boy. If he was the suburban sonneteer, happy in his bedroom writing tear-jerkers, then Andrew was the quintessential party animal, the Liam Gallagher of his day, unable to leave a party without a bottle of Moet in one hand and a bottle blonde in the other. He was always a good-natured boozer, always ready with a smile for the paparazzi, even if it was occasionally given by his backside, and even if he had just thrown up outside the Hippodrome. His nickname? The Vomit Fountain.
It was Andrew who realised George's pop ambitions, Andrew who acted the extrovert to George's shy loner. George might have written the songs (in four years Andrew only gained three co-writing credits, for "Wham! Rap", "Club Tropicana" and "Careless Whisper"), yet it was his partner who looked the part when they sang them. Andrew's image was crystallised on the 12-inch version of "I'm Your Man" (No 1, November 1985): a racing car is heard careering through a plate-glass window, followed by the sound of its driver cackling with laughter as he asks, "Where's the bar?"
The boys were managed for a time by Sixties pop impresario Simon Napier- Bell, but it was always George who had the vision thing, even at school. While most pop careers are rather haphazard affairs, Wham!'s seemed organised with staggering efficiency. At first there was a little contretemps involving Innervision, their first record company, but after seeking serious legal advice they signed to Epic, a division of the mighty CBS Records (now owned by Sony). Here they flourished, manipulating the media with consummate ease while delivering top-drawer product to their fans. Their songs were hardly arch (unlike, say, those of the Pet Shop Boys), but even to the untrained ear one instinctively knew the people behind them weren't stupid. Not only were they perfect fodder for 12-year-old girls, but they also had a superior ironic quality: whether you were an art student or an estate agent, you couldn't deny that Wham! were cool. On top of this they were a welcome antidote to the hoards of shoe-gazers filling the pages of the music press. Who wanted to listen to some doleful Bolshevik ballad of oppression (The Redskins and Matt Johnson) when you could be cutting a rug to "Club Tropicana" (No 4, July 1983)?
It all ended in the most spectacular, and - for a pop group - impressively orchestrated manner. Displaying unusual sagacity for a 22-year-old, Georgios decided the clock was nearing midnight, and that Cinderella really ought to go home. Ziggy Stardust-style, he broke up the band to go solo, organising one last showbiz gesture, the final farewell triumph at Wembley Stadium in the scorching summer of 1986.
One gets the feeling that Andrew could have carried on forever, but for George there were only so many shuttlecocks he could put down his tennis shorts. "The music business moves very fast, there's a big turnover," he told his biographer Tony Parsons in 1990. "There are bands that used to be Wham!'s immediate competition and today nobody remembers their names. It's frightening. Even the greatest talents diminish after years of constant pressure. And I don't want to be another one of the casualties. I want to step back from all the publicity and promotion and marketing to protect my ability, my gift as a songwriter."
If George was afforded a kind of pop martyrdom, Andrew gradually disappeared. With pounds 12m in his pocket, he didn't need to work, though initially he tried. He explored motor racing, did a bit of acting, even opened a restaurant called "92" in Rickmansworth. In 1990 he finally released a lacklustre album, "Son of Albert" (on the cover of which his name was initially misspelt) and then moved to Cornwall. He still lives there, wanting nothing to do with the promotion of the new LP.
"At least George and I managed to end it gracefully and with some taste," says Andrew. "We did it our way."
That they did. Pop will be as exciting again, that's for sure, but it will never be so unabashed, so carefree, or involve so many shuttlecocks.

We introduce a design of a neutron spin rotator for applications with space and temperature constraints. These passive devices employ remnant magnetization Fe- CoV thin films and can be tuned experimentally to achieve arbitrary rotation of an incident neutron with known spin state. Polarized neutron reflectometry measurements are reported for FeCoV monolayer films at thicknesses of 0.5 μm and 5.3 μm to characterize the depth-dependent vector magnetization in the films. Results for a prototype set of film rotators are presented and the stray field near such films is characterized.

For East Africa's lions, is the future bright?
Posted Friday, May 3 2013 at 17:56
A National Geographic advertisement captures it succinctly: "The cat's hunting abilities are outstanding; he actively stalks his prey," says the commentator. But the video shows a domestic cat chasing a little red laser light in a plush home with pristine white sofas. The message: If we do not do something fast to conserve the big felines, domestic cats might have to be used as a stand-in, and these are the kind of videos that the National Geographic will be forced to make to illustrate the life of lions, tigers, cheetahs and leopards.
East Africa is famous for its wildlife, and lions are at the top of the hierarchy. But researchers fear that lions may be extinct in a few decades.
Five decades later
The decline in Africa's lion populations is staggering. Niels Morgensen, who founded Mara Naboisho Lion Project in Kenya in 2011, says Africa had 100,000 lions in 1960. Five decades later, there are just 30,000 left.
This decline points to what once would have seemed ludicrous, an inevitable extinction of the king of the jungle.
This is not an unlikely scenario. In 2010, the Barbary lion of North Africa, one of the eight African lion sub-species, was declared extinct in the wild. It had a long history of suffering at the hands of humans.
The earliest records show that ancient Egyptians killed the Barbary lions as they began to settle down to sedentary lives. The Barbary lion was even taken to Europe, especially Italy where ancient Romans used them in gladiator fights.
In the 12th century, King John of England established a zoo, one of the oldest in the world, which was later relocated to the Tower of London. When the tower's moat was excavated in the 1930s, it revealed two medieval lion skulls of the Barbary lion.
With the spread of the Arabs in North Africa, the Barbary lion was seen as a nuisance and killed. Now, none exist in the wild.
Paltry population
Ten years ago, Kenya had 15,000 lions. Today, the population is a paltry 2,500 lions.
Niels Morgensen, working on his doctorate degree and curious about lions' behaviour inside and outside protected areas in the Mara — renowned as the "big cat country" — studied how livestock affects them.
Attacks on cattle by lions are the bane of pastoral communities like the Maasai and Samburu. When they strike, the herders retaliate by killing the offending animals.
The need to save the king of beasts has spurred researchers and wildlife conservationists to seek solutions outside the confines of state-managed parks and reserves. They are now focusing on conservancies.

Dispatches from the fight against homelessness and AIDS
Dear Melbourne: How about a Conference For the People, By the People?
Posted by Sunny Bjerk , July 31, 2012
Dear Melbourne,
Long time no see! Since ever, really. But I have heard so many wonderful things about you and am really looking forward to meeting you.
Things are good here; we just wrapped up six-plus days at the 2012 International AIDS Conference and everyone is already thinking about the next one in 2014!
For one, everyone is excited that there will be no travel bans leveled against sex workers, allowing the 2014 conference to have people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds truly represented and will be able to have their voices heard.
But Mel, (can I call you Mel?), we are concerned. Concerned about accessibility, respect, and representation. You see, the 2012 conference, while important, left a lot of us with a bad taste in our mouth. For instance, did you know that the cost of a regular [delegate] registration for people from "high-income" countries was $785? Or that the cost of a regular delegate registration for people from so-called "low-income" countries—as defined by the codficiation of the World Bank—was $575? Or, that the cost of registration increased by nearly two-hundred dollars if someone registered after February 23th, which, by the way, is still five months before the actual start of the conference?
That's a lot of money. And that's a lot of money to be asking from people without taking into account a plethora of other relevant information. I mean, sure, some of us that attended the conference certainly do live in the U.S., which is heralded as the richest country in the world, but that doesn't mean that we as individuals are rich. In fact, many of us who attended the conference spent a lot of time advocating for a more just and logical redistribution of the country's weath and a lower price-point for HIV/AIDS medications at the We Can End AIDS march. You see, Mel, when many of us are struggling to make ends meet in order to pay for our HIV/AIDS medication and our rent and our food, to be asked to pay hundreds of dollars to attend a conference that is about a disease that we are living, eating, and breathing, it makes us wonder, does IAC know the phrase, Nothing about us, without us?
But you know what, in the end it worked out because a lot of the sessions didn't seem meant for us that are living with HIV/AIDS anyway. In fact, a lot of the sessions seemed geared toward global economists or statisticians, or at least those who have a degree in PowerPointology or who learn best by numbers and prefer to share information via USB drives. Noticably absent were sessions led and paneled by women of color and and people living with HIV/AIDS, leaving many of us to wonder, Who is the International AIDS Conference for? Is the conference for corporations looking for a marketing opportunity, or is the conference meant for those who are most invested and most passionate about ending AIDS, who have continued to be advocates and activists from the very beginning?
Mel, what we would really love to see are sessions and discussions about AIDS issues that we can sink our teeth into. As my friend Mark noted, what about a serious discussion about eliminating poverty? We know that communities with high levels of poverty also have lower levels of health care and are less likely to get tested regularly, so why, save a few of us, aren't masses of us talking about the reverberating affects that HIV/AIDS has not only as a virus, but also as an indicator of social and economic injustices?
Or what about more ways to become active as activists in the fight against AIDS? You know, even though there were hundreds and hundreds of sessions at the IAC, I only recall seeing one session [Reigniting the Spark: AIDS Activism Today], that truly paid homage to our ACT-UP roots and ways to move forward in order to move our issues and creating a truly AIDS free generation.
Sure, we were razzled by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's appearance, and dazzled by the largest Global Village ever, but you know what would really floor us? A conference for the people, by the people.

WATCH: Benedict Cumberbatch Is Going For Oscar In The First Trailer For 'The Imitation Game'
Benedict stars in The Imitation Game as real life figure Alan Turing, a mathematician known as the Father of Theoretical Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. The film follows Turing as he helps crack the German's Enigma code during World War II, a fact that ultimately helped lead to an allied victory.
It historical and awesome and Benedict is really acting his ass off.
Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode make some good showings as well, so if the movie does end up getting nominations, I wouldn't be surprised if their names are in there as well. But let's be honest here, this is really Benedict's movie. Check out the first trailer above and tell us what you think in the comments below! Will Mr. Cumberbatch be seeing gold?!?!

Ginny was born 18th September 1884 and was six years old in this photograph.
Robert (on the rock) was drowned aged 20 on 19th July 1908 after being swept overboard at St Petersburg.
George was also drowned in the sinking of HMS Hogue on 22nd September 1914. He was 23.
There were also two other brothers not shown in the photo - David who died aged 53 years on 11th July 1925 and William who died aged 39 years on 7th June 1918.
Their mother and father were Jane (nee Leadley) and David Peart who lived on the Tate Hill.
Ginny married Ernest Swales a ships carpenter in 1909 aged 25 years. They lived in the warehouses under Ginny's parents pub the Duke of York. David and Jane Peart took in summer visitors (as they said then) and today the warehouses have been converted to summer lets.

UF professor David Carlson receives top SPJ honor
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 12:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 12:39 p.m.
David Carlson, a University of Florida professor who built a reputation as a journalist pushing the envelope in new media technologies, has received the Wells Memorial Key, the highest honor awarded by the Society of Professional Journalists to one of its members.
Carlson, executive director of the Center for Media Innovation and Research at UF, received the award Monday at the SPJ's President's Installation Banquet in Anaheim, Calif. He was nominated by 10 former and current SPJ and Sigma Delta Chi leaders.
"I am incredibly honored to be singled out this way," Carlson said via email while flying home Tuesday from California. "It's the greatest honor of my life and one I never expected. Wells Key recipients are supermen and women, icons I can only hope to emulate."
The Wells Memorial Key -- given for outstanding service -- is named after the society's second president, Chester Wells. About 100 Wells Keys have been awarded in the society's history, Carlson said.
Carlson became the first journalism professor elected president of the society when he took that office in 2005 and is one of two people to hold every officer post in the organization.
"Our honoree has volunteered nearly selflessly for 20 years," outgoing president Sonny Albarado said in a news release. "He served as president when the SPJ made its largest distribution from the Legal Defense Fund."
The Legal Defense Fund is used to help finance the defense of journalists fighting for the First Amendment rights. SPJ was founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi and is dedicated to freedom of information.
Carlson put more than 25 years into daily newspaper journalism before turning his sights on educating future generations of reporters and editors. He has been a professor of journalism at UF since 1993, helping to develop and launch news and interactive media websites.
Carlson helped develop the Electronic Trib for the Albuquerque Tribune in 1990, and three years later he and his master's students at UF built the first journalism site on the World Wide Web.
"That bit of history took place in 3219 Weimer Hall," he said. "That night, we surfed every website in the world. ... That was possible because there were about 50 sites at the that point in time."
Carlson said he is most proud of the accomplishments his students have achieved.
"Many have gone on to amazing careers," he said.

This is the time when people seem to increasingly cross the barriers of language. This is due to many reasons like the Globalization and the tendency of towns to be only one. Language teaching is an activity that greatly contributes with this, helping to connect different towns and cultures.
Teaching has recently undergone many changes due to different reasons such as the globalization, professionalization and specialization. Not so long ago, teachers worked only in their own countries, however over time, this profession has gone global thanks mainly to technology like the internet. This means that a teacher can work with people from all over the world, but it also means more competition.
If you are applying for a job position as an Spanish Teacher then you have to be prepared, you can ask for some job interview advice, the day of the interview you have to be on time, or 10 minutes in advance, is advisable to check out for some teacher interview questions here.
Spanish is widely spoken in many countries and it is spoken by at least 400 million people in the entire world. This makes the Spanish market one of the most coveted. There are tons of jobs to work as a Spanish teacher available today, but due to the competition it can be quite difficult to find a good Spanish Teaching work. So, if you want to work in a good school, there are some requirements that you must meet before, such as:
Education and training: Sometimes it is necessary a degree in Teaching to teach professionally.
Work Methodology: Most times you will probe your knowledge in a test.
Fluency: It goes without saying that you can speak the language fluently.
Not long ago, it was difficult to find a job as a teacher, but the good thing is that the Internet has opened a whole new world of opportunities not only for teachers and interpreters, but also for anyone looking for work. So, if you are looking for a job, you can try any of these options.
The first thing you have to do is visit any of the language schools looking for teachers, but you must keep in mind that most times these schools charge for their services.
In addition to contacting schools, another good way to find Spanish teaching jobs is visiting a specialized websites where you will find a long list of agencies of good teachers.
You can do freelance jobs in your own house, doing for example translating jobs for anyone.
As we can see there is great market to translate Spanish, all you have to do is choose one that fits your needs.
