Jonny AlexanderGoldsmiths College University of LondonGrade 9/10 Visual Arts and Technical DramaHongqiao Upper SchoolI am a bright and creative graduate (BA in Education with Design and Technology), born in London and raised in Devon, England along with my four elder brothers and sisters and devoted parents. I am focused and ambitious with a contagious energy to network and maximise the personalities of pupils, and colleagues. Extensive travel and proactive sporting habits have fueled my desire to strive further, continuously stretching boundaries to the benefit of my career. I have high personal expectations giving my 'all' to each aspect of my life and this is demonstrated with the students I teach. I will now contribute to SCIS my firm knowledge of the education initiatives and strategies I have gained since my teaching career began in 2004. On top of this through joining SCIS I am grateful to grow my talents along side the community here by accepting additional educational responsibilities whilst teaching Visual Arts and Technical Drama.
Rhea AndrewsFramingham State University1st Grade TeacherHongqiao Early Child Education CampusHello SCIS-HIS! Originally from beautiful western Michigan, I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education and social studies at Grand Valley State University. From there I moved to Seoul, South Korea teaching ESL and was fortunate enough to explore many of the amazing countries of Asia. Following these adventures, I moved to the very exciting country of Venezuela where I taught first and fifth grades. Looking to further my education, I earned a master's degree in international teaching from Framingham State University. My passions within the classroom include: creating nurturing learning environments, educating the whole child, and using real-life experiences to engage students. I first joined SCIS-HIS in 2015 and am honored to be a part of the great Dragon community of learners and educators here in Shanghai!
Lisa AnsteadSan Diego State UniversityKindergarten TeacherHongqiao Early Child Education CampusHola! Lisa here and I am thrilled to be a part of the SCIS family. Originally born and raised in sunny Southern California, I received my Bachelor of Arts from San Francisco State University and my Master's in Education from San Diego State University. I taught in San Diego for eight years and get to call San Diego home. I have had the opportunity to teach a variety of grades, but kindergarten is my passion. Most recently I spent the last three years in South America teaching in Bogota, Colombia. During my free time I love to be outdoors, travel, hike, and explore new cultures. I'm looking forward to a great year of learning.
Matt AstromUniversity of PennsylvaniaHigh School Social Studies TeacherHongqiao Upper SchoolFor as long as I can remember, I have had in me a bit of wanderlust and the desire to experience the world outside of the United States. When the time was right, I jumped at the chance, bringing my two boys with me to experience life overseas. After two years at Cairo American College, we now call Shanghai home. With fifteen years of teaching experience and a master's degree in Curriculum Design and Instruction, I attempt at every turn to find better ways to use individual learning styles and technological advancements in my classroom to make students active participants in their learning. I attempt to turn students into active learners who discover, explore, and connect to learning more effectively. When I am not teaching or playing with my boys, I enjoy playing baseball, softball and golf. That is, of course, when I am not watching American football!
Erin BabbMars Hill UniversityMusicHongqiao Early Child Education CampusMy name is Erin Babb and I first joined SCIS-HIS in 2015. I am from the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, USA.

There I taught music and also spent a couple of years as a Pre-Kindergarten classroom teacher. Teaching music is my passion! I believe that music education should be about creating, expressing and cultivating a lifelong love of music and all of its wonder! My passion and loads of energy make my classroom a very exciting and fun place for children to learn. I am a trained classical vocalist who enjoys performing and being a voice coach to children and adults who love to sing. I come to SCIS-HIS with my wonderful husband, William (Bill) Kern.
Tarsi BaliUniversity of Athens & University of EssexLower School Physical Education, Aquatics CoordinatorPudong CampusExercise is medicine! Ni Hao, my name is Tarsi Bali, and I am excited to join SCIS PD as both the Aquatics Coordinator, and Physical Education Teacher for grades PK-5.

I am the ECE Librarian which is perfect since I have always loved books. When I was a child when we went on a family trip I never wanted to take one book, I wanted to take ALL of them! While my packing habits have changed, my love of books hasn't. I look forward to sharing with your children (and parents too) the many great books we have in the library, both for educational and recreational purposes. When I am not at work or reading I enjoy an eclectic amount of activities from sports, writing, traveling and being as adventurous as possible. I also love cooking and making food, especially home made ice cream! Please stop by the library to check out books, ask questions or just say hello. You are always welcome!

Sonya BobUniversity of Oklahoma & Northeastern State UniversityGrade 3 TeacherHangzhou International SchoolI was born and raised on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation, which is in south central New Mexico in the Rocky Mountains. I graduated from Ruidoso High School and worked as a Cosmetologist for six years. I got married and moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I have been living for the past 22 years. I worked with Native American Family Services helping parents and children in the foster care program. In 1998, I decided to go to college and become a teacher. I attended Northeastern State University and graduated in 2005. I started working at Hoover Elementary School, teaching 4th grade Language Arts. In 2007, I received a Fullbright/Hayes Grant to visit China and Korea. This was a great opportunity and an amazing experience. I fell in love with China. Also in 2007, Hoover Elementary joined with The First Experimental Primary School of the Central District in ChongQing. Hoover and Renhe have had a wonderful relationship for the past 10 years, exchanging teachers and students to share education, culture, and friendship. I returned to China in 2012 as part of this exchange program. I went back to college in 2007 and received a Master's Degree in Administration and Curriculum.

I also worked with Tulsa Public Schools developing curriculum for Common Core and Aspirant Leadership Academy. I love doing arts and crafts, so I decided to move to a middle/high school to teach art. I have worked to develop curriculum, grants, and motivational lessons to promote "at risk" student achievement. I teach my students that they, too, can become successful leaders. I truly enjoy working with students, and I try to encourage them every step of the way. I love to travel and meet new people. This world has so many different places to discover and explore. I try to inspire students to pursue their goals, find their destiny, and enjoy life.

Odette: SurrealityMature
I walked with Liv, like I did every morning. She was quieter than usual. It wasnt like I didnt know why. It wasnt like I didnt feel the exact same pain.
New York had never seemed so dreary. The city had always been my favorite place in the world. I'd never understood the kinds of people who so longed to escape their hometowns. There was nowhere else I'd ever want to be.
But that was before. Now the streets were stained with blood, and everywhere I turned I thought I saw Kelsey darting off into the crowds. She wasnt really there, of course, but the memory of her was just so fresh. I could still remember the last time I'd hugged her. How I'd thought about telling her everything, then, but I hadnt been able to.
She'd never know now.
"I cant stand this anymore," I muttered to Liv. The black haired girl only nodded, but I wasnt even sure if she'd heard me at all. I realized I'd stopped moving, and when Liv noticed it too, she spun around to face me right there.
Around us people kept on moving. Their lives were going on just fine. I didnt understand how they could be living like this when my best friend was in a goddamn box under ground. I thought about all the promises we'd made each other, all the things we'd said to each other. The first time she'd ever run to my house in tears, and I'd held her tightly and told her it would be alright.
It wasnt.
There was this one time, when she'd come over last summer. We'd been sitting on my bed with our knees just barely touching. It was everything perfect and sweet, and I had known then that I never wanted to lose that feeling.
"Promise me something," Kelsey had said in that bubblegum perfect voice of hers. "When we graduate, let's go to California. Let's pack up and do something crazy for once."
I couldnt bring myself to tell her that I'd never leave New York. The city was in my blood. It was a part of me.
So I took her hand in mine and gave her a graceful smile. "Okay," I said. "I promise."
Standing now beside Liv, tears stung at my eyes. I would not break down, not now. I wanted so badly to stay strong, at least for my friends. "I'm going to do something crazy," I said suddenly.
Liv was looking at me like I was absolutely insane. And maybe I was. Maybe I was.

For 0 < α ≤ 2 and 0 < H < 1, an α-time fractional Brownian motion is an iterated process Z = {Z(t) = W(Y(t)), t ≥ 0} obtained by taking a fractional Brownian motion {W(t), t ∈ ℝ} with Hurst index 0 < H < 1 and replacing the time parameter with a strictly α-stable Lévy process {Y(t), t ≥ 0} in ℝ independent of {W(t), t ∈ R}. It is shown that such processes have natural connections to partial differential equations and, when Y is a stable subordinator, can arise as scaling limit of randomly indexed random walks. The existence, joint continuity and sharp Hölder conditions in the set variable of the local times of a d-dimensional α-time fractional Brownian motion X = {X(t), t ∈ ℝ+} defined by X(t) = (X1(t), ..., Xd(t)), where t ≥ 0 and X1, ..., Xd are independent copies of Z, are investigated. Our methods rely on the strong local nondeterminism of fractional Brownian motion.
Mathematics Subject Classification: 60G17 / 60J65 / 60K99
Key words: Fractional Brownian motion / strictlyα-stable Lévy process / α-time Brownian motion / α-time fractional Brownian motion / partial differential equation / local time / Hölder condition.

Would like to ride. Is critical mass still in effect in Denver?
I am wondering this as well. Most of the info I can find dates back to 2007-ish. Anyone know?

Apr 15, 2010 at 7:06 am #1257755
Looks like Massachusetts is set to have rain all through this weekend.
I was planning on taking my first trip this weekend and I think I may go despite the forecast. I don't particularly care for hiking in the rain and the the expected temps will be the lowest I have faced while it is raining, but I really don't want to cancel my plans.
This thread isn't about gear, I have that covered. It is about seeing if other people like taking trips even when rain is in the forecast. Anyone out there like hiking in the rain?Apr 15, 2010 at 7:28 am #1598283

I'm a huge fan of umbrellas- you can keep your hood off and jacket open. Psychologically, I think they make long stretches of rain easier. The umbrella is the most breathable rain wear you can find.Apr 15, 2010 at 7:38 am #1598288

Do I like to hike in the rain…no, but I do hike in it. My feeling is if you wait for nice weather to hike you might never get to do a trip. I did an AT section hike last year where it rained a whopping 7 inches of rain in 48 hours. The AT might has well have been the Mississippi River.Apr 15, 2010 at 8:20 am #1598296

If I plan a trip, I go. But rain in California is not as heavy as other places. I do have to be careful in deserts due to the possibilty of flash floods. But it is unlikely that I will see 7 days of non-stop rain. I like hiking in the rain.Apr 15, 2010 at 8:34 am #1598299
Because bad weather makes for good photography :)
Also, since I work in a Dilbert box to pay the bills, my window of opportunity is what it is. Unless it's weather that I'm not equipped for, I try to avoid missing opportunities for outings.Apr 15, 2010 at 8:56 am #1598304

Often I prefer that it rain. Alot of the possible backpackers, and most of the potential dayhikers, will forgo their plans if it's raining. That means more backcountry for me to be alone. Not to mention, I sleep easiest with the pitter-patter of raindrops on silnylon ;)Apr 15, 2010 at 8:56 am #1598305

A few comments…
– There are fewer people out.
– Things take on a softer look, and the views become close in while it's raining.
– If you have the right gear and (more importantly) mindset, hiking in the rain is your opportunity to experience another side of nature…see Nature's other faces. Isn't that why you are getting out of the house?
– It's just a weekend, so you know you'll survive. It's a chance to dial in your gear and techniques for when you are surprised by a thunderstorm.Apr 15, 2010 at 9:31 am #1598315

Rain … it's a different kind of good weather.
A wet day of hiking is still better than a dry day at work.
There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.
Of course the above statements have their limits … like rain intense enough to cause severe flash flooding or mud slides or hurricanes or tornadoes or white out blizzards.Apr 15, 2010 at 9:54 am #1598328

I'll second the comment on using umbrellas.
I used to hate hiking in the rain. Once I started bringing an umbrella (GoLite) it doesn't bother me nearly as much, hardly at all in fact. Unless it's pouring and windy, or if I have to crash through wet brush, I don't bother with any rain gear other than the umbrella, and generally feel warm and comfortable the entire time.Apr 15, 2010 at 10:21 am #1598335

I like the rain. I work in it and hike in it. It's different if you are talking about multiple days, when you have to carry around wet gear. That I have not done. Couple of days, then you can dry your stuff at home..no problem.Apr 15, 2010 at 10:40 am #1598341
I love the group of people on these forums! :-)
Tom, I think your post really sums up my thoughts perfectly. I decided to go on this trip yesterday, saw it was going to rain, and didn't even think about not going.
I don't have many friends that backpack, whether lightly or more traditionally. Is not being concerned with a little rain something unique to the ultralighter's mindset? I could see more traditional backpackers having the mindset that it would be miserable and that going into the woods should not entail any kind of discomfort.
I dunno, but it's nice that my going hiking knowing full well it will be raining for the entire duration of the trip is not considered weird here. :-)Apr 15, 2010 at 11:03 am #1598347

Andrew I don't think it's weird at all. Weird is the mindless drudgery we subject ourselves to everyday in what we call the "real world". Like so many have so eloquently stated here, GETTING OUT THERE is perfectly normal and natural, regardless of the weather.Apr 15, 2010 at 11:08 am #1598349

"A wet day of hiking is still better than a dry day at work."
I'm a summer hiker. The only cotton in my kit is a pair of blaze orange bandanas. I have given up on raingear. I wear nylon, polyester and merino wool. If it rains, I hike and get wet. When it stops raining, I hike and dry out. I rotate socks to keep my feet as dry as possible.
Last year on a 24 hour hike it began to rain on us 1 hour after we got on the trail around midday. It continued to rain on us for 5 more hours. We collected and treated water in the rain. We set up camp in the rain. The rain stopped and we ate supper. We dried out as we slept. We were greeted by a dry clear morning to finish our 24 hour hike. :-)
"I'd go", I went! ;-)

Actually, there may be a bit of wet snow in the higher elevations of Central Mass and the Berkshires. Bring an extra fleece layer just in case your insulation gets wet while hiking.
I really prefer hiking in the dry or in snow. Like some others I've tried umbrellas a bit and liked them when the trail allows them; need to get a better one.Apr 15, 2010 at 11:48 am #1598364

@knaightLocale: Western Massachusetts
Andrew, I also live in MA. Two weeks ago when we had the storm that caused all that massive flooding, I hiked 28 miles in the rain. I was going to stay overnight until the forecast changed from rain to severe flood warning. That convinced me that my next few stream crossings might become unsafe (especially with my dog) and I bailed.
That said, I had a great time and it's convinced me to never cancel a trip for simple rain (floods and t-storms are another story). I was hiking fast and the rain kept me at a comfortable temperature. I didn't wear a rain jacket, just a midweight merino wool baselayer. If you don't plan on stopping a whole lot before camp, I'd recommend you do the same. No breathability to worry about, no nylon hood rustling in your ears. Plus, if you keep your rain gear in your pack, it'll be dry when you get to camp, which you will LOVE.
Although wide views are nonexistent in "bad" weather, the woods become beautiful and almost otherworldly. Birds and wildlife are out in droves.
Bring an extra baselayer, an extra pair of socks, something small to dry off with, and keep your stuff dry. Other than that, just go. You'll be glad you did.
Edit: Walter, I think the snow is unlikely. I haven't been above 2,000 feet, but all of the snow in the places I HAVE been has been gone for a month.Apr 15, 2010 at 11:52 am #1598365

Why let it stop you?
Heading out and knowing it'll be wet is a great time to make sure you've got your system down. It helps you learn to be prepared for when dealing with the unexpected is more critical. It's practice.Apr 15, 2010 at 12:32 pm #1598378
Yeah, I saw that chance of snow and decided I would bring my softshell along. Hopefully I don't have to deal with snow. Thank you for the heads up though. I appreciate it.
I'm excited to see how my tarp handles the rain. This will be will be my first time trying it out in this weather. I will have my superlight eVent bivy too. I'm somewhat curious to see how this will do without any other coverage, but think I may wait till warmer weather to test it out.Apr 15, 2010 at 2:09 pm #1598407

@snowleopardLocale: Mass.
Nate, The current forecast for here (N. Central Mass.) is chance of snow overnight for the next several days. I don't think we'll get a significant amount; NH and VT mountains might get 6" total. The total amount of water will be a lot less than during your trip.
The snow here is gone. Maybe there's some left on Mt. Graylock, but it shouldn't be a factor.Apr 15, 2010 at 2:13 pm #1598409
"Although wide views are nonexistent in "bad" weather, the woods become beautiful and almost otherworldly. Birds and wildlife are out in droves"
And as if that's not enough, there's nothing so beautiful as the sun rising on a clearing storm in the wilderness.
Well, except maybe that with an alpine lake to reflect the colors of the morning.Apr 15, 2010 at 2:28 pm #1598413

I enjoy hiking in cold rain quite a bit…especially if I'm well equipped and staying dry. During summers in the south, I thoroughly enjoy getting soaked while hiking in order to cool down.

Pornstar Name:
Wow! What a superb and powerful cum shot!! Wish I could have been there. YUMMY !!
I love to eat cum, too. I want some soon.
When a friend suggested we get closer I didn't realise he meant like this but this was exactly what happened .It was my first time with another boy and the feel of his hard warm cock and sensation when our cum was pumped into each other with no condoms was awesome and later we sucked each other dry and we met up together whenever possible. after that girls didn't feature much in my life.
It just sort of happened, one minute we were talking and the next Phil had his hand inside my pants and we undressing each other. Two proud stiff cocks naturally wanted to cum and after some sucking it was bareback satisfaction
in three hours im going to suck cock for the first time im meeting two friends in a hotel room i hope i end up in the middle im excited

Secularists don't "get" religion and so for them it is a "black hole."
For those who are religious - such as the people who wrote the First Amendment - religious freedom is understandable and not some abstract, metaphysical concept that must be pushed into some private corner so that it doesn't interfere with rights that aren't mentioned in the Constitution like the right to sex anyone way you want it and the right to kill off the consequences of such sex.
Even my safety valve is insane and has sold out to the state.

And the consequence of "sex anyone way you want it" ( which I guess means sex any way a christian doesn't like it) is that said christian can discriminate against you. What a wonderful world you have cooked up. I'm glad you and your kind are the arbiters of what sex is acceptable (along with the federal government's support?).
I guess if I don't like people who have sex with Irishman I can discriminate against them and their Irish sex partners as well?

On the heels of muscleman Steve Reeves' low-budget Italian sword and sandal epics comes this unintentionally hilarious knock-off that is largely comprised of footage from an Italian mythic epic in which a brawny hero ("Maciste" in Italy and "Goliath" in the US) takes on wicked King Eurystheus' cheesy monsters that included a three headed fire belching dog, a gigantic, murderous bat (both of which appeared in the original film) and a ludicrously unscary dragon (in some scenes, only the huge head shows, while for long-shots the filmmakers used stop animation from Jim Danforth). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Ok so this story idea came to my head because I was watching the movie "P.H.A.T Gurls" and it is one of the most inspiring movies for me…minus the weird and you know what parts! shudders I had to hide my eyes when those came up! Lol well back to the story I hope you like it! It is a ONESHOT!
Summary: Martha Cox was one of the best dancers at East High and is now a Dance Teacher for little kids at East Middle. One of her "Bigger" students has a problem with a bully. Can Martha help her by telling her a story about what happen to her in East High.
(Better then it sounds please read it!)
Martha's P.O.V
I was sitting in the dance studio stretching for my next class to come in. Yup you guessed it I am happily married and a dance teacher at East Middle.
Knock Knock
I turned around to see one of my students Sarah standing at the door.
"Hi Sarah you are early class doesn't start for another 10 mins." I said to her as I looked closer she looked like she had been crying.
"Sarah come in sit down. What is wrong?" I asked with concern as she sat down in front of me.
"Well, some boys they called me, they called me 'fat' and you are the only teacher I can really talk to so I came here." Sarah said sadly. I hate when my students cry, especially when another student is responsible for it.
"Sarah, you are far from fat-"
"Yea but I am not really skinny either." Sarah said cutting me off.
"You don't have to be super skinny to be pretty." I said truthfully. I am so tired of magazines, TV, books you name it, of telling people you have to be super skinny to be pretty.
"Do you wanna hear a story that happen to me in high school?" I asked with a flashback coming to my head.
"SURE!" Sarah said enthusiastic.
"Well it was when I was 16. And I felt like everyone around me was skinner and prettier. Even with my girlfriends. Their names where Amy and Gabi they where sisters, Taylor, and Sharpay. And they where the BEST friends you could ask for."
"Ok. It sounds like me so far." Sarah said getting interested.
"Well it was a normal day at East High for me. I walked in talked to some boys then went to homeroom with Darbus."
"Wait, you went to EAST HIGH! Is it true what they say about Ms. Darbus!?" Sarah asked jumping a little. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes she is just as crazy as they say." I said with a laugh.
"Well anyway. I never listen in her class. I just plugged in my ipod until class was over. And well lets just skip ahead to lunch. I sat with the gang-"
"Who is the "gang"?" Sarah asked cutting me off again.
"The "gang" was Troy, Gabi, Amy, Ryan, Zeke, Sharpay, Taylor, Chad and Jason. My best friends. And they were all REALLY nice and just great and the most wonderful friends."
"Ok you sound like you had a sweet life, how is this suppose to help me?" Sarah asked with a perplex look on her face which caused me to laugh.
"Well at lunch that day I forgot to eat breakfast. So I a lot more then I usually do. And some of the kids in East High AREN'T has nice." I said remembering it all like it was yesterday.
"Now it starting to sound like me." Sarah said.
"Well some boys from the soccer team walked past our table and said, 'Whoa Martha have enough food there?' and some things like 'What mama and daddy never feed you?'"
"That is horrible and scary about how similar our stories are." Sarah said more to herself then to me.
"Well they weren't done with me, the most, meanest thing they said to me was 'Martha, you need to stop eating so much. You know your fat you shouldn't want to get fatter!'" I said with a good impression if I do say so myself.
Sarah just gasped before saying, "That is SO MEAN! Well at least you had your friends around you to protect you, cause I sure didn't.
"Well you are right that I did have friends to protect me. Chad, Jason, Ryan, and Troy stood up, telling the soccer players off while the girls huddled around me saying it wasn't true. And everything to make me feel better but the one person that really made me feel better was Jason."
"O Jason! I heard a lot of stories about him! What did he say?" Sarah asked with a smile.
"He said. 'Girl, don't listen to them, you are not fat you phat. P.H.A.T, pretty, hot and think.'" I said with a smile earning a smile from Sarah.
"So what you are say is that I am P.H.A.T?" Sarah asked perplexed.
"No, what I am saying is that you shouldn't worry about what others think. As long as you have really good friends there, you will be ok. And if you want to be P.H.A.T. it isn't about the way you look. It is about your state of mind and you feel good about yourself."
"Thanks Mrs. Cox. You really are P.H.A.T" Sarah said standing up smiling with me.
"As for you too." I said smiling back. We both giggled and then the bell rang and students filled the studio.
"Ok everyone we are going to do the dance number for All for One so everyone choose a partner." I called out to everyone after all my students were in the studio.
"Hey Sarah, would you like to dance with me?" One of the boys that is apparently one of the "cutest" in the class came up to Sarah and asked.
"I will love to." Sarah said taking his hand and going to an open spot.
"Ok here we go!" I yelled. "Then started the music and counted off when it was time to started and watched all my students do the dance proudly.
"Yup I am really am a P.H.A.T teacher." I said to myself.
"Yes you are." I very familiar voice said behind me.
"Jason!" I said giving him a big hug while everyone Awwed.
So what do you think? REVIEW and vote in my poll!
